I'm just gonna copy paste this since I don't know how to reddit.
Hi, r/singing, so I started watching singing tips on youtube earlier this year and have been following them, doing exercises and such, and I have improved my vocal range over the months. Although lately, I've lost motivation to improve and have just been singing for fun. Before I started practicing, I couldn't even sing the chorus to Careless Whisper. Now I can, but I can't sing the whole song because of the strain. I tried watching again the videos on breath support and such and I think I improved a bit on that but I'm not sure. I was thinking maybe my vocal range wasn't high enough yet to sing that song comfortably.
So, I need help from you guys to listen to my recordings. I might be straining in these recordings, I just need to know if it's really that bad since I can't finish the whole song.
I haven't warmed up when I recorded this so it wasn't the best:
In this clip, you can start to hear me losing my voice, or at least getting tired. Also, how the hell do I get my falsetto back!? Before puberty hit, I used to sing in falsetto with ease. Now it sometimes hurt and just doesn't sound good:
If it helps at all, here is me singing in my comfortable range:
