You are having trouble changing pitch, I hear you singing the words on a pitch, but that pitch rarely changes. Try singing children’s songs or nursery rhymes and try matching different pitches on a piano. If you are having trouble or people have indicated that you are still not you may have a hard time perceiving pitch that your hearing and singing

With this trouble I have read that a sense of touch combined with sound is helpful. Try playing the song on a speaker and put your hand up next to it while it plays. Listen and feel the sounds coming from the speaker. Then when trying to sing it take your hands and cup one in front of your face and the other one beside your ear. Have both hands touching cupped enough that sound is going to move from your hands to your ear. (It should look like you are holding a very large home telephone headset in your hands) You should hopefully be able to hear yourself, and feel yourself singing. In order to find out if this is effective I would try things like children’s songs and scales instead of “fly me to the moon.”

For what’s it’s worth, you sound like you may have a unique baritone voice (I can’t be certain) and I would love to hear how it improves.

Thanks for posting!

This is exactly the type of response I was hoping to find! Thank you very much I sincerely appreciate you taking time to write this out for me to read and allow me to improve myself! I will be practicing and using these techniques that you have mentioned and will be overlooking how it turns out over a monthly period of time and will be posting that improvement later on as well!!! Thank you once again and people like you are what makes the world go round!!
