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 me 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.
