Thanks for your insight and encouragemtn @bentk
I do basic pitch every single day for a week now. I also do the ear training recommeded by Klaus. I will report in 2-3 months.

@Csesztes its great to see you've made a start at the regular ear training practice and it wont be long till you hear significant improvements. What i noticed each interval has its own tonal quality as you practice your able to pick out them out much more accurately and interested to see how you progress in the next few months.

Getting good relative hearing is not easy and takes regular practice. You can learn to identify intervals, chord qualities, chord inversions, chord progressions and more. It's good to build some skill there as a musician, and you don't have to practice it for hours. But practice it regularly or daily. I should be doing it more myself. Remember to also put things into a musical context to really learn and internalise things.
Singing back the things you play on your instrument and singing along with melodies are all ways to connect your voice. Sing scales, sing melodies, sing intervals, sing the modes, whatever. You can do all that in a comfortable register.
I checked some of your audio, and i actually liked a lot that i heard. People here have already pointed out some things such as pitch, so i am not going further into that. But you have range and some good tones. Learning to control it all is not easy.
It took me years to get where i am now, and i still have to learn. It also took you years to get where you are now, and it was not in vein. Nothing good comes easy, and there are loads of people here to help you with the exercises and everything else singing.
As you become more 'musical', for lack of a better term, your pitch will improve. Good singing technique helps a lot though!
I hope some of this speaks to you and is of help to you. Keep the dream alive!
EDIT: by the way, keep doing your vocal workouts but focus on only quality. don't worry if you workout 40 minutes or 2 hours. Quality are things like technique (support, vowel mods, bright tone etc.) and pitch. This would be one of my suggestions at least. A certain amount of quantity is needed of course, but don't sacrifice quality.
All the best,
Ben

Cover of Olivia Newton‐John - Hopelessly Devoted to You
As you can read here: https://forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com/discussion/comment/72935/#
I altready tried this song 10 month ago... and thought i did good
My old version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vpst9fdvnf820i4/hopelessly_devoted.m4a?dl=0
So recently I came back to this song and tried it again. I am soooo glad I had the old version for comparison because I was not aware that its such a huge difference.
