Could someone give me feedback on my pronunciation when singing this song?
[Link to my video :)](https://youtu.be/QCjv_p4IWCI?si=95OVnJLGLh-wVV2w) I'm Brazilian and I don't speak English natively, but I know a few things. I recorded the video in a simple and relatively quick way, just to post it on my social media today. I'll say that even when I analyzed the video, I already identified some things that sounded a bit strange to me and that I would try to improve, even though I didn't notice them at the time, but I'll leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions. Just to mention one example that seemed frequent to me in this video: the fact that I apparently pronounce the "t" at the end of some words in an extremely weak way (e.g.: white, right, tonight). Watching the video, it might seem like I didn't even pronounce it, but it turns out that I make a sound with my mouth in these cases that is very soft and I feel like it might not be right. And of course, there are other things that I noticed, as I mentioned. I understand that it may be difficult, but I will be very happy if someone offers to analyze it, feel free to give feedback. :)
Does he say “you could keep it in the quote of the phrase” at the end? Thanks.
