hey, guitar was good, voice needs work but it will come. You are like everyone when they start singing. Sing with confidence, the more confidence you have the better it will sound, also try not to sing out of your nose, sing from your chest. I can hear a good voice in you, try not singing as low and let it come from the chest. One reson my voice has improved is because i sit around and sing along to my music. Doing that has improved my voice more than anything. Hey, atleast you can play billies and sing at the same time, it's a hard tune to carry.

I guess the one thing to try to work one would be putting some emotion into it. It just kind of sounds like you are sing-song talking. Now, I'm not a good singer by any means, but from the time I've started singing to present I have improved very much by just practicing. Anyways, work on singing like you mean it.

Good luck.

yeah, dude, just start singin',.... everywhere

especially when your by yourself in the car or something, when your not scared to sing out loud. Don't be scared to sing higher notes, it'll sound better.

One thing I do is cup my hand over my ear in a way that my wrist is over my mouth a little bit so that I can hear myself sing.

Sing with a big breath and loud and higher, try to match the tone of the singer.

Also, keep recordings of yourself to you can keep tabs of your improvements and also note what parts of a song need improvement

I'm no Pavarotti (by far!!) but I have improved a lot since I've started playin'.
