Gill,
- You need to more musculature behind your singing as a general statement. This IS a falsetto mode you are singing in. It makes the voice sound weak and has a lot of instability to the configuration, which is why falsetto tends to "chirp" and "squirrel" around.
How do you fix it?
- Standard good training that would include building the strength and motor skills to twang, in particular above your bridge.
- Train the TVS onsets, Dampen & Release & Attack & Release to build stronger compression / vocalis strength. This will help give you the twang and stability.
- When you are amplifying your voice with real sound energy, not wind, you will then need to guide/direct that energy to proper resonance. Therefore, you need to understand the fundamentals about singing vowels, modification of those vowels and build enough association on how they feel through kinesthetics to also, build masterly acoustics in your singing. In your TVS system that I gave you.
 
In The Four Pillars of Singing you have to TRAIN! ... 
- Onset Lectures
- Training Onsets
- Acoustic Modes
- Training Integrated Training Routines
- ... and then apply your new strength and motor skills to singing songs, including this one. 
 
You have to build a voice... the apply it to songs and workout the details.

WOW !!!
 
Coach,
I listened to "Behind Diverted Eyes" several times now and there was just something SO SPECIAL about it. I couldn't quite figure out just what it was ??? And then, I see "...for Monica".
All of your songs are superb. No doubt about it..... We all strive to do our best in all of our songs/performances, however, I noticed MYSELF that when I dedicate a song to someone special it just STANDS OUT !!! Simply put :  "Heart and Soul !!!"
EXCELLENT, Brother !!!
 
 

Hi Robert
Having had a bad virus recently my voice is likely not at it's best but hope that this will suffice :

Thank you for making me feel so welcome into the community 

Hi Gill, welcome to our community!
- What I can hear in your voice sounds like it is more then lovely Gill. But can you upload one that doesn't have the other singer in the track please? It is getting in the way of our ability to hear you. Try another one that has no other singers in it.
