I'd appreciate any feedback. I don't really have anything to back it up with right now unless I grab a knife and a stovepan, had two people tell me it's not at all bad but could use some more strength. For some reason I have a lot stronger/better voice when I'm sitting in my car than standing or sitting elsewhere.

If those people lied and a platypus-on-raven orgy would be a more pleasant aural experience I can handle being told that as well.

I've just recently had two lessons through a Taylor Robinson instructor. She's fully certified and sings opera and all that, however she doesn't play any instruments that can act as accompaniment. Both lessons have mostly been her awkwardly poking at a keyboard while I try to sing along to a song, after which she tells me that I'm failing at proper breathing, enunciation, and projecting. I'm trying to keep in mind that maybe I'm just taking constructive criticism too personally, but there's very little positive construction and I feel like she knows the material but not how to teach it. As an example, rather than saying, "Okay, you need to work on X and Y, so let's do this exercise right now or try this as different way" or whatever it's just "You're doing XYZ wrong, let's try again, that was a little better now go home and read this book for a week".

Obviously you all can only read off of what I'm posting, but what are good/bad things to look for in an instructor?

When I played singstar way back now in the day it had a pitch line which matched the vocal melody. Is there a free version of that I can use with a regular mic? Sounds silly but I'm just trying to find my feet with real songs instead of bellowing in the shower.

I actually just got this yesterday and while the warmups seemed to go well, I tried a few songs and found that on the normal octave setting I'm struggling to go high enough, but on the low setting I'm pretty much doing me best Vader impression to hit anything. According to the app my vocal range is F2-C4, I'm just wondering if the app settings are too restrictive or if my singing voice should be considered a torture device.
