The concavong comes over time and keeping your tongue in the right place between your lower teeth and jaw. No the tongue exercise is not for that

Re: Here I am singing an original song on the acoustic guitar. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM WELCOMED!
i would recommend that you sing with a mic plugged to the computer or to some spearkers whatever, then plug your earphones to it and hear what you sing in real time.
this way you'll notice you are off pitch in some parts and work from there to correct it.
at least it was a big help for me.

Re: My progression
I hear more difference towards the end when you start to belt. There's better space and placement and you sound more comfortable singing it. 🎤🤘🏼

Re: My progression
@heidianita Sounds great, and I hear the improvement!
For future reference, one thing I'd ask is that you not post links from DropBox or GoogleDrive due to virus transmission issues.
Please upload to either YouTube or Soundcloud, and post that link.
Cheers, and keep fighting the good fight and keep rockin' the casbah!!!

Re: Nervous when singing in front of people
I have to agree with @Wigs and @jaclynser on this one. The only effective way to get over your fear and nervousness is to perform for other people on a regular basis. Even then you're not going to get rid of the fear 100%. Bono of U2 has stated publicly multiple times that even after decades of touring he still get's nervous to perform every single time.
I've found Karaoke was almost a perfect thing for me to get over my fears of performing. It's really nice because Karaoke is one of those things where people don't expect everyone who grabs the mic to be able to sing perfectly. The Karaoke audiences tend to be very supportive regardless of your performance. If that sounds unbearably uncomfortable to even think about then I would recommend just going to a Karaoke Bar and just watch other people perform, after hearing a couple of people slaughter a song and nothing bad happens it might give you the motivation to give it a try.

Re: Nervous when singing in front of people
Stage fright in NOT the best thing that can happen to you and the only way to get more comfortable is to know your voice feel confidence. I agree with what the others have said. And do the karaoke until you get more confident. The more times you sing in front of people the less it will bother you

Re: Nervous when singing in front of people
Try recording yourself and sing to the camera as if its a person. Even the act of recording yourself puts some pressure on to perform well but at least if you falter, you can give it another go and only you have seen it. Then once you get a really good take that you are happy with, show it to people. This will help build your confidence bit by bit. Ulimately, the only real way to get rid of the nerves is to perform infront of people.

Re: Nervous when singing in front of people
Honestly, it just takes practice and performing in front of people more and more and more. Did you know that Jim Morrison had stage fright? In the beginning, he had to actually sing with his back to the audience because he was so nervous. It's a normal thing. And it is something you will get over in time.
I often tell my students before a recital that they will probably feel nervous before going on, and that it is totally normal. I tell them that it actually helps to be aware ahead of time that you may feel that way, so it doesn't catch you off guard and you can do some prep work to help you through that fear. Some things I suggest are just taking a good deep breath, telling yourself that no matter what happens you did your best and this is where you are at right now. In time, it will get easier.
Just keep doing it! People who act like they are "too cool" to seem like they care or don't give constructive feedback aren't worth worrying about anyway. And the people who are there that cheer you on and tell you that you did great are a wonderful support system that will help you boost your confidence.
