I wouldn't recommend vocal training unless you are serious about singing. It's entirely up to you. My advice would be to listen to feedback and act on it, work with what you have and get the best out of it.
Here's my thoughts - The first 3 words are perfect, the next 2 (i -i -i - i it pou -ohoh - ohwowooow- owwwwooooowwwwow - urs) don't fit. If you can't sing like whitney or Mariah, don't try to. Maximise what you do have.
Listen to the first couple of lines of this track. Sean keeps it simple but the quality of his voice comes through.
Singing like Mariah or Whitney definitely wasn't and isn't the goal when I sing. I sing to sound like no one other than myself.Personally, I think I'm fully capable of singing the words you said don't fit the way I sang them. I do agree however that people who can't sing like Mariah or Whitney should refrain from singing Mariah or Whitney's song.
Vocal gymnastics - where the singer incorporates a lot of "runs" and extra notes to showcase their vocal abilities a la Mariah Carey.
Regarding the vocal training comment, I think it's meant to be taken as feedback (this is what you asked for), unless you didn't get my point then I'll clarify. I recognise the quality, tone and soulfulness of your voice even though I don't think you've had any formal training. Have you?
Oh I see, your description in the first comment didn't really exhibit to me where you were going with this. Feedback is always a positive thing in my eyes, especially when you understand it haha thank you for clarifying! And no I have not had any formal training. Would that be something that you would recommend?
I didn't DL your pella but I'd like to comment. I like the tone of your voice, it is soulful. I doubt you've had vocal training but I still recognise whats beneath . You remind me of Sean Escoffery. The reason I didn't download was because the quality of the recording isn't as good as your previous UL. Also, I don't think you need to participate in vocal gymnastics by holding the end notes. Short sharp lines with confidence that lets the tone of your voice through may sound much better. I'd love to use your vocals in future.
Thank you! Not really sure how to take the vocal training comment.Ironically, this acapella was created in the same way the others were the only difference being the volume of the acapellas which can be easily adjusted. Not really sure what you mean by vocal gymnastics either.Thank you for your insight none the less.
Please post more! To my ears, this has a classic 60's soul feel and I'm old enough to know it when I hear it! :) Nice stuff! I'll try to do something worthy with it.

PS. I'm not a singer or musical teacher of any sorts. This is my humble opinion. I'm giving thorough feedback because I like your voice.
I hope someone better qualified than me can join the conversation. I'd love to hear there opinion.
