Oh cool. The front part I liked it when you hit the top note! That was awesome. You have beautiful low notes too. You started off well, but the ending parts needs abit of improvement. At certain parts, you are singing with your throat, I think. Which should be using your head voice instead. 28s to 45s was super awesome. I like that part best. Anyway, good job!
It's a very good effort, I think. There's of course room for improvement yet, but I dare say you're singing better than many of us could.
I think you may have been a bit too close to your recorder's microphone this time around. It sounds as though there's quite a bit of distortion and/or clipping at times. Obtaining a good clean recording is often a trickier process that it seems it ought to be.
Your pitch overall was, I think, a lot more accurate than the first version you posted. That's a good thing; and maintaining correct pitch unaccompanied (especially when singing solo) is not easy. It's clear you have a pretty good musical ear to hear pitches and intervals.
Some of the notes sounded like they may have been a bit forced, especially when compared to (my recollection of) your first posting. (This might partly be because of differences in the recording, rather than in the singing, too.) I'd try to avoid that as much as possible, especially since you have a very sweet and warm voice when relaxed. The general idea is to keep the throat fairly relaxed and in a neutral position (not tight and high for the high notes), and use mainly the diaphragm muscles to produce the tone and projection. It's the same muscles you use when coughing or laughing, down low in the chest. The natural tendency is often to instead use upper chest muscles to compress the rib cage, which doesn't work anywhere near as well for singing.
Please do keep on singing; you have a fair bit of talent and a lovely voice, and I suspect you rather enjoy singing to boot. There are far too many people around who are content to merely consume music, rather than make music, and I believe they miss out on an awful lot that way.

Hey, anyway, Candid, you are getting me really inspired to try to record my singing as well. Well, probably after exams, that would be the first few things on my list.
And trust me, your singing's definitely better than mine. I always wish I could carry a tune well, but I'm probably not too good at that. But I'm always trying. And I hope you will keep singing too!
Btw, what song would you be singing next? Keep your songs coming!

Yea I'm definately new to the whole recording thing, I did use an external mic for my voice recorder and I still don't understand how to get a clear good sounding voice recording thats accurate, So I'll have fun experimenting with that. I can't wait to hear you sakura I wonder which song you're gonna sing or if you created a song I'd like to hear it. Im good at creating random songs of course I don't remember them but Im thinking of posting a song if a nice tune arises today.

I won't be singing anymore of libera's songs, I only sung 3 songs and I think thats enough. I can't sing like them I also am very dissappointed and my feelings are hurt because libera never responded to my dedication. I posted a link on their facebook and they deleted it. They won't acknowledge me at all. Right now im just kinda in disgust. I deleted pretty much everything libera on my facebook. I will keep on singing, and writing songs, I just see Libera in a different light right now. I really don't think its gonna change. Unless they say something to me to get me to understand why they responded like that.
