Thanks for replying, I didn't think that was necessary since usually you can judge if a person sings ok or not from just hearing them singing.
But well, what sound am I after..... I would say a punky/grungy kind of sound my voice is way too airy and thin for that, which I am aware of. But my voice have gotten raspier lately which I think is cool but I don't know if it's "GOOD" considering it usually isn't lol. But I don't care.
So since my voice isn't very punky I usually nowadays try to get inspired to sing more like Lana Del Rey, if you've listened to her, she has jazzier way of singing. I think since I don't get any professional singing-coaching it's better if I sing more like that than trying to push my voice to sing songs that it isn't built for, like punk songs for example.
I'm just going after what I believe is best for my voice, that is also why I didn't include what kind of sound i'm going after, I thought I could get some advice on what genre my voice sounds as though it would suit best for. But really i'm not interested in singing any other genre than punk, grunge or the type of sophisticated jazz-inspired pop Lana sings. Not quite sure how to describe it.
I've always been told I need to practice my breath-control and how to relax since I have always been horrible at breathing right when singing, but personally I think that I have gotten better at that lately since nowadays I can hold a tone for a much longer time and taking high notes doesn't make my throat feel like it's gonna bleed. Lol. Oh and I can sing fast songs without losing breath (if you listen to my cover of "But It's Better If You Do" if you want an example, I could never have done that a year ago).
And if I believe I can sing myself.... i've always been told I CAN sing, but when I listen to recordings from when I was 12 I was completely friggin tone-deaf, literally. Now, I can sing. But I am mediocre at it, I think I could get lots better if I got vocal coaching.
It still happens that my throat starts hurting after like 2 songs, I don't know why but maybe you can tell what I do wrong from listening to me.
Just tell me if you need more info but I think that should do.
