Looking for reviews/advice

[Asherno]

Hi, I'm a 20 year-old guy and I always liked singing but I really started to like it at the beginning of year 2016. I've been practicing since a few months, trying to learn how to breathe correctly, how to stop being too nasal, doing vocal warmups to prepare your voice before singing but I'm kinda stuck now. My friends think my singing is good but I'd like to have a review from more skilled people to focus on what I should work on to get a better voice. I also noticed I can sing better acapella, on my own. While trying to sing on tune with the back music, it sounds weird. Like the song is too high or too low at some parts, but I don't know if it's because I am going off-key at parts and must practice or because the song isn't made for my voice type.

So here are some acapella bits I sung on my own (far from being perfect I know, I do notice some off-key notes) :

Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman :

Ariana Grande - Into You (sorry for the echo on this one):

Tell me anything that you notice/feel, if you ever realize what voice type I've got, etc even if it's harsh to hear. All criticism is good and helpful ! Thanks, hope that won't be too painful to listen to haha

Okay, so 2 weeks and no responses. I thought it would be horrible. It's not. You've got a pleasant voice with some pitch control problems that are probably due to #2 below
PROBLEMS:
#1 Not fond of your selections. Mostly singing women's songs with a masculine voice is going to turn a few ears away.
#2 You need to sing with a track of some kind. Just your dry vocals makes it very difficult to hear what's going on...and whether or not the pitch problems are you or the song.
GOOD POINTS
A) You sing forcefully, dynamically and with your voice sounds pleasing.
B) The room you're in has a pleasant reverb and the mic seems to pick up well. Both suit you.
SUGGESTIONS
As always, I recommend a strong regimen of breathing, and pitch.
BREATHING When you walk, breathe in for one step and out for seven. This builds your diaphragm and control.
PITCH When you practice, record yourself. Play a note on a guitar or keyboard or whatever instrument you have available. Then hit that note. Now pick another note (preferably at random). Start slowly and build up speed. Listen back and see if you are actually hitting the notes or sliding into them (it's good to be able to do both, but control which is happening).

Get some recordings with a backing track or a band or instrument or something where your voice stands out, but is not overbearing, and then repost. You can PM me when you do so I can find it if you like.
