Any suggestions on the mix before I post to my family?




Instead of giving you a pat on the back I will be constructively critical:

1 You need to use dynamics -right now it is all basically flat
some parts need to be much softer others louder.

2 Same goes for tempo - need to slow down some parts. You might want to start with customizing here.

Basically there are very few variables with which a musician can bring emotional expression to a perfomance and chief among these are dynamics and tempo variation.
A lot of commercial performances fall flat because they sound fail to use these means of expression and therefore sound mechanical-monotonous.

I hate to hear comments other than praise, but now and then someone says something useful and once I understand and learn from it I'm grateful.

You get points for staying in tune mostly and for excellent enunciation - all of the lyrics are clear (singers often are impossible to understand) !
