Here's some songs I recently put out:

youtu.be/GgfyYswIr6c (called Still Be Loved)
youtu.be/02Msr-D9aR0 (called Heartless)
youtu.be/qTJcOd3F4sE (called Sleeping Knight)
youtu.be/6wT3dRgOCd8 (called Beloved Recovery)
youtu.be/XqIg1AKWqjg (called C'est La Vie)

All these songs are from my debut album Beloved Recovery. :) I would love to know what you guys think, hope you enjoy it!

hi! this is a thread i made for myself (FIXVEEN) and as I frequently am around here, I thought it would be cool to share my songs and get some feedback.
i also would like to know my vocal type if that's possible, thanks!

what's wrong? i've seen people do threads of themselves to get some constructive feedback vocally.
i saw that i would be appropriate to post it on Musical Users. sorry if i did anything wrong.

I wouldn't say you've done anything wrong exactly, but in this subforum, it's more the done thing to post audio recordings (without which we're not really in a position to guess at your voice type). Posting a range thread for yourself and saying you'll add links later is something of a deviation from our usual etiquette here (the Forum Etiquette section of the Rules & Guidelines thread advises "Videos/threads about your own vocal range are frowned upon as they can look really self-indulgent.") You'll find most of the other users' singing threads start off with song links in the OP. If you want to keep the range info too, since you've obviously spent some time compiling it, you might like to put it in a spoilerbox so it's still viewable but as an extra rather than the main focus of the thread, but that's up to you.

Updated, thanks for clarifying.

Hello feller, I took a listen to "Beloved Recovery", I like the composition, if that's you who wrote it, it's bliss. But the execution is wishing for the best, it sounds like you didn't even rehearse it and went to record it right after finishing writing the last line. I waited for the singing parts but you kept speaking melodically throughout, most of the time in the same intonation, with the vocal melody often changing from bad to worse, you're also often off beat and the speaking aspect gets even more highlight. I don't know all the backstory and I can be a bad judge since I'm in the same position as you now, but I don't have the courage to post stuff I don't like myself. Since you already posted it online, I guess, keep it, but if I was you, I would destroy it all like a bad dream and went back to the rehearsing room, it needs a whole lot of polishing. But the song itself is nice, I only listened to one.

Yes, I wrote the song so thank you. I understand and appreciate your comment, it actually was supposed to be a chill song so that's why it's more in the same intonation/speaking aspect, but I will try to stop it somehow and improve the vocal melody from now on. The same goes for being off beat, I'll try to be more careful about that, thanks for pointing it out.
