Richard,
Good stuff! Nice pop composition!

"not sure my voice really works with this style... or maybe I just need a lot of singing lessons!"
lol this is funny!

I think your voice works very good with this tune. Unique and personal.
I took a few "master" classes with couple of established singers/teachers, just to better understand a theory behind the voice. Sure, it was fun and educational and I learned a few very valuable "points", but the best "teacher" is to practice. The more you do it, the better you get. Hope to hear more.

Thank you for posting!

Misha.
