Country Singing (This is the Life by Amy Mcdonald)

I feel that country is genre that I struggled with, not naturally having that country twang/accent and going against what I have trained my body to do (creating a smaller space in my mouth and throat rather than a large space) was something I found very difficult. I also feel that with struggling to embody the twang of country it made the song sound quite dull and not as happy and upbeat like it is supposed to be. Although there were some positives, one of which was my articulation, something I usually struggle with when singing as I slur my words together, but by choosing a faster song I had to pronunciate each word more precisely. I think to improve in the future I would need to record harmonies to give the song more depth as well as spending more time trying to embody the country twang, I also think singing along to more than just a guitar would also help me to sound more upbeat and less dull.
