I've listened to both of your recordings. Honestly, like I said, it doesn't sound as bad as you think. And from you recordings, I can tell that you work very hard. But I think you're thinking too much on it that it shows on your recordings. It's okay to imitate the vocalists, because I'm pretty sure most people do that when they first start off. Even I still do now once in a while.

IT'S NORMAL to be off-beat when singing with off-vocals. That's probably because you're not used to it. But after a while, you'll be getting the hang of it! If you're scared of forgetting the lyrics, sing while looking at the lyrics!

Also, I'm not a good singer, I don't have proper training, so even now, I still change my voice style in a recording many times. I'm kind of affected by it, but I got over it. How? Because when I sing, I want to sing while having fun. Though I'm not saying you should not train and work hard. Of course we have to do that if we want to improve. But make sure you have fun while doing so!

I'm sure you can do it over the time!! ^.^ Good luck! (I'm not really helpful, sorry! ><)

This is helpful to me. You're right about myself thinking too much about it. Probably because I recently gained a burst of confidence in myself, but I still waver a bit here and there. Having people compliment me gives me a reassurance about myself and it encourages me to sing more. So thank you!

I still have fun singing, especially when I go karaoke with my friends. We just sing for fun and not put too much mind into our voices. I mean some of them are really amazing singers, but very supportive of others.

EDIT: I should probably have some questions to make this thread useful. Is there any song that you guys recommend? I have sang a bit of Deco*27, though I have a small trouble singing it because I tend to lag behind or twist my words. Which is why I tend to sing slower paced songs, but I'm trying to expand that to songs a bit faster to get used to it.

I'm terrible at breath control. I always end up not having enough air because I released too much (airy voice) or not releasing enough/breath too much(?) and I have too much air. This felt really awkward to me. An example of losing too much air would be in that soldier game clip "Yowaki no Monotachi. Watashi wa dareshou? Shiritaku natta deshou?" I find it difficult to say this entire thing in one breath most of the time.

Last question and it's kind of silly. Is it ok if I can eat pumpkin seeds before singing? I like them a lot and they provide me the essential fats that I'm lacking. But it's a bit oily, so I don't know if it's a good idea to eat it when I want to sing. With such an ikemen voice, you can try out Senbonzakura (piano ver. if you want slower pace), Akaito, try doing Magnet with someone (It's really fun) , maybe shinkai shoujo (piano ver is slower). Yeap, something along these lines. ^.^

You can try doing vocal training everyday, like hold your note and all. Or go exercise to improve your stamina. I'm pretty sure you will get better in your breath control! Good Luck

Lastly, HAHA I think it should be fine! Honestly, I don't really know but I think it's okay! XD You're a interesting person! ^.^

Good Luck and Have fun!
