    Kinda pitchy in this one, you should work on that. You're allmmoossttt there. You tend to stay sharp when you're descending, like on the 2nd line of the verse. Like in 2:21, you're sharp on the "mind". Do you practice singing scales? If not, I think you would benefit from it. From this video, it would seem you have more trouble with descending in pitch, so maybe you should focus a little more on descending scales?

    Also, the rhythm is a little inconsistent sometimes, just keep it cool man. Like at 1:07, the upstroke is early. At 1:22, you start to speed up again. Are you practicing with a metronome? You don't have to play exactly in time because you're performing solo with a guitar like this, but I think you shouldn't be that inconsistent.

    Just my two cents. You have a really nice voice, but your technically not there yet. Keep working at it and you'll be great!

    Thanks for the input Raiyne. I'll make sure to work harder and take that in account.

    Try recording yourself in a bathroom. It's weird but the acoustics are much better in bathrooms.

    Not really, just depends on the song. Bathrooms tend to give you more reverb cause there tends to be harder, more brittle surfaces like porcelain tiles and toilets and sinks.

    So you get more reflections, and your voice gets reinforced with that. But in this situation I guess it's just masking your mistakes, not really fixing your problem. You should work on sounding good when you're completely dry, without any reverb first. Then the refinement of the sound comes in later on, because what's important is the fundamental sound. The rest is just secondary.
