Hey,
Long story short i promised to perform 2 songs in one the local nursing-home as part of other singers from different backgrounds. One of the tracks is a native Finnish one, i feel quite comfortable with. This second one is song Smile that was written by Charlie Chaplin and performed by many since then (I think it was recently in Joker movie too). I'm going to sing side by a professional piano player, so karaoke version didn't get me very far. I found some nice piano covers from youtube, downloaded one and transposed to a key i found most suitable for my voice. Now i've been practicing on top of that, and would like to hear your opinions. You can hear my funny accent, but i think it's been getting much honed since beginning KTVA in March. Still would be very interested to hear is any of the words/sentences sound strange in pronunciation or phrasing. Surely any feedback is welcome but i only have 1,5 weeks until the show 30.11
My goal is to get the elder people happy, and that's why i took this crazy challenge (never sang in front of crowd sober before). It's for a good cause
thanks in advance

That was a really nice rendition and sure the old folks will really like that and In my opinion you’ve done really well. As for critique yes some of your accent is showing a little, but that also adds a little character to the song. Noticed a little shaky sounding on the higher notes, maybe something to work on but you have a bit of time to polish the performance.
Good job

Man, that was great. Great soft tone. You are rock-solid on the melody - awesome.
On these shaky spots really push hard on the diaphragm - really hard. It will help you to stabilize the sound.
Great work, great progress. Kudos, mate.
