Please critique me for my first performance.

Hi. I have never been in chorus, taken any lessons, or sung infront of an audience before. However, recently an organization I'm in is forcing me to sing for a talent show. Because no one else has any sort of talent. I'm extremely nervous because this will be my first time singing infront of people. I'm not very confident in my voice. I honestly don't know if I can sing well or not. So please critique my singing. BE AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE! thanks.

Keep in mind I'm at work and have just crappy laptop speakers so I can't hear that great. But from what I can hear it didn't sound bad. Sure, you can use some training but I wouldn't be afraid of singing in front of anyone right now, from what I heard. If you can gather up a little more confidence and put a bit more of that confidence into your voice then it will be even better. Go for it. I think you have a good foundation to build on already. :)

It doesn't sound bad at all. If the talent contest is soon I would stick to a song that's just in the lower part of your range, that's really strong. It's the high falsetto that is weaker, nothing that can't be worked on obviously but i would say if the contest is soon. Change to a song that is a bit lower and more comfortable for you.

You will be great though. Try and be as confident as possible. perform the song, look ahead an not at the floor and mean what you sing. Give it some conviction and you'll be great
