Hi there, I am a songwriter. At the moment, I can't find a singer to collaborate with, so I decided to sing the songs by myself.
So I really want to get the feedback about my singing voice.
In this recording, my voice is nearly bare because I don't take much time on editing for a demo version. Just a bit of reverb and compressor.
Please comment, I'll be happy to hear from you. <3

 
You're doing fine on the vocals. You have a soft, pleasing voice that seems in tune for the most part. Nothing a little nudge here and there from a tuning plug wouldn't make good.
What I am hearing is way too much distance (reverb, miking distance, or whatnot) in the drums...but that's a mix issue, and not what you asked about, so I'll leave that alone.
As a fellow songwriter (who used to be able to sing for his supper) I understand where you're coming from. It's important to get your music heard, and if you have a weak link it can keep people from listening. I don't believe your voice qualifies as a weak link.

Thank you for your feedback!
Actually, I am very new to vocals. I have tried to looking for vocalists to do my songs justice but still can't find one, so I decided to sing it. I am really confused about my singing voice.
I did post this song on the other sub-forum to get feedback. And once again, I'm very new to this kind of pop song, so like, I really want to get feedback. And since I am Asian, I was born with a different music background so I am very afraid, wether my music and voice is catchy to listeners from other countries.
Anyways, thank you very much for your positive feedback! I am very happy about it!
 
One of the hardest things in life to get used to is the actual sound of your own voice...
 
Voice isn't bad at all, but for the track itself I would consider making it a duet with a more powerful voice chiming in from time to time. The whispering of the vocal is in stark contrast to the energy of the rest of the tune. I would think about adding harmonies to a powerful female voice as a second part. Just a thought.

Also...way too much reverb. On everything. I think you have a good, catchy song and melody here.
