Pitch is good, good natural voice, no strain. Those are all very good things. Hard to tell much more - that song isn't very challenging. With strong pitch and your good natural voice though, I would think you would be attractive to a performing arts school.

What I just watched looked like it was hurting you to do. If you want us to watch, put some heart into it. Good luck.

your really good! if you train your voice you could become a professional!

good luck!

I think you can do anything you set your mind to do. You have a good voice. With proper training it could be great!
Good luck! :)

I can only give you the advice somebody once gave me when I played guitar badly at a party:

'Try doing that again as though you meant it.'

You didn't look like you were enjoying yourself at all. I don't mean that you have to be all happy smiley, but you should at least sing as though you meant what the song is about. It sounds like you could sing, if you put your mind and heart to it, because your pitching is OK, but you aren't doing it with any conviction.

Can you minor in singing? You bet. If you have the money, you can minor in anything you want.

Are you a good singer? Hard to tell. First clip was not all that impressive, but you didnt seem all that into it. I didnt listen to the strep throat one. I mean, that's kind of worthless unless you plan on having strep throat all the time. Right?

A suggestion. Dont try to sound like all the other girls your age who sing like all the teenage idols out there. It's boring. It takes nice voices and turns them into something you hear every time you listen to a radio or whatever. Try to be unique. Minors in singing dont mean anything when it comes to performing. If they did, there wouldnt be many performers out there. If you want to sing, find YOUR voice. Not some teacher's or other performer's.

I agree with everyone else when they say you need to put more heart into it. There's a very nasal, teeny-bopper sound to your voice. You want your voice to sound attractive and appealing to other people. Honestly, and I'm not trying to be mean, you better start working on that quickly because you will get stuck in the rut of singing the same way once this becomes familiar to you. I can't say I think anything will happen professionally for you because you're not at that point yet. But maybe going to study the performing arts will open your mind and heart to becoming the entertainer you dream of being. Another bit of advice: have a backup plan. Make sure there's other things you love to do. ALL performers need a backup plan. This industry is too uncertain. Since you're going to an arts school I take it this is what you want to do with your life. Review all the options and listen to yourself with a CRITICAL ear. I hope the training does well for you. All the best to you.
