Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

hi folks, been using KTVA for a couple of months now and really enjoying.  still trying to figure a lot of things out, mostly around support and keeping the bright sound without feeling like i am using my throat to do this.  anyway, here is a couple of clips of my attempt at Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones.  If anyone can give me any info on what you think I need to improve on I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Gav

This sounds good. You are maintaining a nice bright tone throughout the tunes. You could try adding more support for the Stones tune just to get the character of the song. Good work.

One thing I think you are doing right that everyone else should take note of is this:

You are singing on long, contiguous phrases, with light use of consonants.  Good job on that, it helps to keep your open throat/vocal tract in a good place.

Your pitch is good.  As Scott says you could support more and lean into it some on the Stones tune.

You are on a good track.
