Additional comments:

In your YouTube video, Your guitar and vocals sound very mismatched. The guitar sounds very bright and harsh to me, while your voice has too much reverb, and is a bit muddy. Your voice is good, I wouldn't say great, but there is room for improvement. Because you have a deep voice, you need more low tones from the guitar to have a good balance between the two. The problem I hear is not you specifically, but the equipment and/or room sound, and then compounded by the fact that you are using a recording device that amplifies, and maybe distorts a problematic sound even more. This is why I want to hear a raw sound of you without all that.

I find that recording myself really helps me to hear myself as other do, which also helps if you plan on going into a studio to record.

Sorry about the duplicate, edited posts, but I really want to help you if I can.

regards, Rick
