I'm not someone expirienced either. I just sings randomly (off pitch, fales, not mixed, etc.) and upload them on soundcloud. and stuff I say are based on my little expirience,.. I also sing in shower and do a little video editing for school. But I'm quite a 'curious' type of person so I like to try lots of effects ><

Everyone starts off with not knowing a thing. I too, start without knowing a thing, posted on youtube, and get all frustrated with no one watching or liking my video. I searched google, check out popular youtaites, and finally understand I need to 'mix' to get good quality. and also, popular people, has lots of online friends. They make them through hardwork of approaching, starting conversation, and getting to know each other. and it take YEARS to become like JubyPhonic, Rachie, and other youtaites and utaites. I find youtube too tiring because of vids and qualities, so I just use soundcloud where I do whatever I like. Back to mix, can you mix? do you have anyone to mix for you? or do you want to learn mixing? there are lots of tutorials online if you want to learn. You can use audacity (free), reaper (free trial), mixpad (free trial), Adobe Audition (pay). It's not a good thing but a lot of people use crack versions.

For vidoes, you can always somehow download the original videos. I used to use movie maker for video editing. You can find lots of tutorial online.

Pronounciation,.. check out JubyPhonic & AmaLee. They use 'English Traslyrics' they made by themselves. You make your own translyrics or you can use translyric of your first language you can find online, like rachie's indonesian version are from rangkaiankatakata.tumblr.com. That way, you don't need to worry about pronounciation. If you still want to sing Japanese, practice is the most effective way.

After recording,.. is it your voice or microphone quality? well if it's your microphone, don't blame it. Almost everyone starts with their headphones or/and their handphones. but if it's not mic quality, try to be concious of your voice when you're singing. Try to listen to yourself. Find your own mistakes and correct it. If you can't hear yourself, try recording then play the recording.

Also, you should google for tips in singing, vocal training, and continue to sing everyday, even shower singing helps.
