Just bought a usb mic

So i am a 16 years old student that is really into singing, guitar, piano and erhu. My name is James and i live in Toronto, Canada. I've recently bought a usb mic to make covers on youtube with it. It's my first time using a mic and a recording software and i have a ton to learn, so id be extremely grateful if anyone has any past experience theyd like to share or anything tips to give him! It would also be great if anyone can check out my channel at this link : http://www.youtube.com/user/JamesZohan?feature=mhee

All feedbacks are so so so welcome!

I want one of those. Which was it? How much did it cost? Where did you buy it?

You are a very talented singer! The quality of the mic is fairly good. Tiled background of your youtube channel doesn't look great, I would either change it to a full page background, or remove it.

You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish.

Here's a site that provides a lot of free ones you can use.

If you want your picture on it, you can use any image editing program and make some art happen.

It sounds good but the guitar sounds a bit too quiet to my ears. You might want to try experimenting with mic placement a bit.

I don't have any experience to share so I'll just throw out my encouragement: Great voice and hope to hear more!
