Guys,
This is not only my first recording with the ukulele, but is also the first time I sing. I guess my voice sucks, but this song is very funny to play and sing in the ukulele, so I couldn't help it.
I am little embarrassed by hearing my voice and nervous for posting it here, but anyway.
Just recorded directly to my laptop's mic (not a MacBook!) and put some reverb on Cool Edit Pro.
Here it goes, tell me what you think and what can I improve to start singing like a real bitch:

haha, that was pretty good. not bad at all. you have a huge accent though and it plus ukulele made me laugh. i would only say, work on your recording quality. it's terrible. but your performance was pretty good.

Thanks a lot man!
The recording was pretty shitty, as it was done directly in my laptop's mic.
And how does my accent sound like?!
Anyway, I am happy that you had fun with it!

i wouldve sworn i commented this! GAH i listened when you originally posted
this kinda inspired me to ask for a ukulele for c-mas. the recording does suck im not gonna lie, and although your voice was weak in some points, it was overall good.
keep it up

Thanks. I really appreciate these comments.
I don't have a decent mic, but I can probably get a better one than the built in...

I had trouble understanding you at some points too, but I think its possibly just from using the laptop mic...not necessarily the accent. I bet that if you had a chance to record it with a better mic it would be great.
Your voice sound good, as does the uke. As mangold said there were a few spots where the vocals were a bit off, but nothing to be nervous or embarassed about. Keep posting more stuff when you get a chance.

just here to say you suck and I didn't listen to it and probably never will. Put that in your Portuguese pipe and smoke it
