Best Of
Black Velvet (Alannah Myles cover) by coffeecrank
I'm proud to present you my latest achievement. 
In -2 key, but oh well. 
Also discovered a cool reverb plugin, really improved sound. Next step would be switching from Audacity to something more powerful.

Re: Hoarseness and everyday practice
When driving, you can tend to try to sing over the noise of the tires on the pavement and the rush of the wind on the vehicle. To compensate for that extraneous sound, you crank up the volume of the CD player with the exercises. This makes Ken sound even louder, and you have to sing even louder to be able to hear your own voice at all over the road noise and over Ken's voice if you are not doing the piano-only exercises.
All in all, you are unable to judge your true singing volume when paying attention to your driving and also having to overcome these competing sounds. This can cause you to oversing, unless you remain acutely aware of these things and consciously use glottal compression to cut back the air when doing your exercises.
Ken teaches us in Volume 3 that once we get the knack of Glottal Compression, we are to use it from that moment forward, all of the time, only singing loudly when it is absolutely called for specifically in a song.
Even in strong parts of songs we are to govern our volume, never simply blasting for the "joy" of blasting. That will make you hoarse.
Always using GC properly, will prevent you from EVER getting hoarse due to oversinging, because you will simply never oversing, once you make a pact with yourself that you must always govern the volume of your voice to more minimal levels by using Glottal Compression always.
