Pitch is good, timbre is good, you've got good control and flexibility. My favorite was At Last, as you used a lot more dynamics.

 

The others were well performed, but were a bit subdued and sounded a bit polite. At Last seeemd more like the floodgates were opened and you were pouring out the sound. It's not just volume although that helped.

 

Lessons and technique could give you more power and range, but imo, you're already a skilled singer with a controlled voice and appealing timbre. Some people for whatever reason (nature/nurture) stumble upon an appealing way of singing. Did anyone in your family sing? Was singing a part of your culture in any way? I knew a girl who learned a bit through her parents growing up. Church is a good one. Lots of my favorite singers learned there.

 

But some people can intuitively pick up singing without any formal training. It happens, and happened to you.  :)

thank you so much!! this means a lot. yes  my dad isa professional guitar player for around 35 years. ive always sang since i was very little... i was in a bad car wreck as a baby and had a lot of family issues and was always in and out of the hospital as a kid so music really was my outlet for emotion. i think im just struggling i feel lost like i dont know what genre i belong to... i love indie folk and piano but i hear id do well with a swinger or jazz type singing... but i just dont really care for jazz :(
