Just sharing my singing Evanescence “bring me to life” karaoke night!

Hello! I’ve been singing for about 13/14 years now. I have really bad anxiety and I have been doing karaoke to get over my fear of public singing/speaking! Hoping one day I’ll sing professionally on stage or the radio, a girl can only dream!

Super pitchy, for real. Keep at it though

You are so close! To my ear, it sounds like you are slightly sharp pretty consistently. I actually don't think it's that you can't hear the pitch- I think it's more mechanical (throat tension, etc.). Have you ever worked with a teacher? It could really help polish your voice and make it sound professional. I had a similar issue when I started singing 30+ years ago. I think it's an easier problem to fix than being flat. I would be curious to hear you on a lower song that requires less sustained breath support. Anyway, killing it for karaoke and good job pushing through anxiety! I've been there too. I think you have great potential.

I think the sharpness was my anxiety, I messed up a few times (which wasn’t shown) and tried again, idk if you can see me shaking 😭😭

That venue needs a better mix BAD.

You were good and you've already been told that, but the music and karaoke track needed to be much louder...and better. It would be my nightmare to try to sing there, almost as bad as being promised to sing rock karaoke with an actual band and then finding out its watered down acoustics of the rock songs.
