Hi dan

I listened to your clip and your phrasing doesn't sound too bad to me. But of course I don't know how you mean the song to sound.

There is some good advice here to help, especially about relaxing. When you are up-tight all kinds of things go on.

I would suggest too that you listen to people Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald who were masters/mistress of phrasing difficult songs. I know the music you do is not of that genre ( popular word here these days ) but it helped me.

The other thing Dan; do you still struggle to hit the phrasing as you would wish when you sing without accompanying yourself.??

Cheers
