Also, I'd appreciate any observations on production nits or advice on the mix/mastering. Levels.... EQ.....Reverb......instruments..... I have pulled the mando down on a few errant notes that were in a place of relative silence that kinda stuck out at me....

Anyway... thanks for your time and comments.

From experience: you should never say beforehand that it's not a real singer, because a) everyone will focus on the singing and not the song, and b) everyone will say it's obvious.
If they don't know, they might say that the song sucks but the vocals are great.
And ask who the singer is.
Been there, done that.

The Autotune™ remark could be about the first 2 words of your song, "we all" does indeed sound pitch-corrected. The rest of the song is fine.

Production-wise it's good, I wouldn't change that. Overall it's a good song and I like it!

The vocals sound a bit throaty, did you change the "gender" settings to make the voice a bit darker?
