Really cool relaxed and strong voice man.

Number one thing I would improve here is the mixing of the song, sounds like you did it accoustic/distant from the mic and then mixed against the backing track, or captured it close to the mic and just added reverb, with low or no compression.

In either case it does not work well, because the backing track is done on a different way, I would try either playing the backing track live and recording the accoustic result together with your voice (if you did the first), or, compressing your voice more if you close mic it, to match the BT.

On the technical side, for this kind of song you will need some tensions to appear on the lower register, if you keep everything placed high and free like you are doing, the low notes will sound a bit too correct... Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for the critique Felipe!

Your first guess on how I recorded it was right I recorded my vocals separately on my phone mic and had my earphones in listening to the instrumental track that I used to overdub while I did the vocals. I made sure I could hear myself though and not have to shout over the music. I then used audacity to put in a dash of reverb (big mistake on my part. The raw track I was using was not compressed enough and it made the end result too muffled.) to match the original vocal track. From now on, I may just not mess with effects as much before I find the right EQ/settings for my voice/track.

Wow you confirmed my worst fears. I knew I went a little overboard on the suave sex appeal the song calls for Seriously though, actually I was tense through half of the song, I'm glad it wasn't too obvious hahhaha.
