You can learn a great deal of music by yourself without formal coaching, but you will never know until you take another person's opinion.  To all of us, especially singers, we always sound good.  A good teacher can add a lot of value.  Value comes from interaction, from a teacher being not emotionally invested and thereby being able to see flaws, from just having a different point of view possibly from coming from a different school of learning.  

You can never become really good until you invest time, energy and money.  For mediocrity, you have the internet and all the "free" material!!

Oh.
Back to the Khan academy.
All of it's videos are free.
It also has student profiles, tracks learning and has a reward system. 
It does offer some music lessons as well for free. But not much. I think this is because it is more geared towards math and such.

Meaning, something that offers music lessons on video, has a reward system, is free, and makes over a million dollars a year already exists.

I sound horrible. lol.

Teachers are great for feedback and direction. Especially when they can direct you in areas you need to go. When we do things ourselves we tend to not really have a clue where to go.

I did another take. Is it too early to play it live?

The balance seems off on vocals.
Sounds like you're too breathy or struggling to add volume. 
It's never to early to play live. Just play live in a safe area. Where rejection is okay. And the people around you will support you. 
I've done open mic a bunch. I've been terrible. But I was surrounded by friends, so it didn't matter.

Ok. thanks for the clarity. It sort of sounded like you were making a case for "you don't have to, because you can get it for free" which is just a lame point to make on so many levels. Glad that isn't what your saying.

Back to my original point then Rich... More and more people are lazy and don't want to work.  I believe that YouTube has done a lot to create a new virtual culture and expectation with people. Its free on YouTube and you can sort of get some tips, so when people are really ready to get better and stop watching videos for tips,... they seek programs and teachers and become put off when someone informs them that it isn't going to be free.

 

And "is too expensive" just doesn't hold up as an argument.... I have tried numerous times to offer services for $4.99. As a matter of fact, for the last 8 months anyone that signed up here was routed to a page out at my web site where they could get the entire TVS warm up package for $4.99... a deal so good, it is almost offense. NOT one person took my offer. $4.99... ?!  

There are many reasons people may not have taken you up on your $4.99 offer, Robert.  Sounds like a good deal but maybe they are looking for a different singing style, classical, jazz, pop, etc) and they look for that on YouTube. And of course, they may find what they want on YouTube for free   Example: I play guitar.  I find free tutorials for almost any song I want to learn to play!  When I was younger I spent many hours transcribing solos.  The tutorials are quick and free.  There are many things good and bad about the digital computer age.  I think you know what I mean.  Things change and we have to figure out how to evolve to stay relevant, if that is even possible.
