Hi Everyone,
I don't post here very often, but have been plugging away on the KTVA exercises for two years now. I am still astonished that this whole thing started from scratch (no previous experience whatsoever).
Please take a listen to the below videos. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I am particularly interested to hear what y'all think I need to focus on improving upon moving in year #3.

Good job.

@cwcw Welcome to KTVA! Anything is possible with this program (and time to consistently do the exercises). I always look to @Gaston_Jauregui for my dose of singing envy
this sounds awesome. I read your 1st Anniversary post and see myself in many points. I am now 7 months on the course. It is amazing to see how far you came in just 2 years. Congratulations, Scott.

1) Are you naturally a tenor or baritone?
2) You have excellent breath control / technique. How loud are you singing? It doesn't seem like you're singing with a lot of volume, yet you have great tone, which is good. I tend to sing too loudly. I'm just trying to get a point of reference to know if you've ever checked your singing volume with a dB meter at arm's length, as some have mentioned here.

1. I actually don't know for sure about being a baritone or tenor, though I am about 90% sure that I would be a tenor.
2. I tend to sing too loud as well, though I have been trying to concentrate on better volume control. First, it helps to add vocal depth to songs (for example, sing the verse softer and slam on the gas for the chorus in "We All Die Young" video) and sustainability when singing live. I've had to learn the latter the hard way, as I tend to get wound up on stage and my volume would increase. I really have worked on keeping a good breath while trying to be entertaining at the same time. That way, I can stay vocally strong at the end of a 3 hour set.
I haven't done any official dB meter readings, so I am afraid that my answer is a bit imprecise.
Cheers!
Scott
Thanks!
