@gritty oyster Beautiful tone and such natural sound production in your singing. Impeccable diction and intonation fairly placed well at large too! My advice for you would be to consider your breathe intakes. You probably may have been training well to support right from your core. However, from both the clips, 'Maria' in particular, albeit it's slow ballad genre, you seem to be running out of breathe too quickly. Sometimes it could be 'not taking enough breathe' and other times it could be.. just too much too quickly. Do you raise your shoulder while taking a breathe? If so than that could be another reason too.
Try assessing the reason behind it and see how you can optimise to keep your ribcage open and sustained throughout (or as much as possible).
Exercises that you may benefit from are singing on SOVT's such as lip trill or on a straw, or just sing on a 'v' sound (voiced fricative).. and be judicious with your airflow as you sing along while keeping the phrase energised.
Good Luck!

@swift sedge this is awesome, thank you! I don’t raise my shoulders much, and I sometimes feel like I just don’t know how to maintain breath. It’s like I’m using it all in one phrase. Maybe it’s a mental thing, idk
I’ll definitely try out the exercises you recommended

Hello @gritty oyster ! Apologize for the late feedback. I've been a bit busy these past few days.
A lot of improvement from the last recording we've heard. Beautiful singing on both of the recordings (Maria, in particular, was very, very good).
Listening to both of the recordings, I think what can be improved is your phrasing. I can hear it especially in leaps. I can hear the sudden loudness because I presume you were trying to hit that high note. Try practicing those leaps and see if you can equalize them. And on that note, also try to make "Maria" more legato, it sounded like you were hitting the notes instead of making them more connected.
I just don’t know how to maintain breath.
Creme's advice above of using SOVT exercises helps with that. And think about how, in the passages you sing, where you can breathe deeply. Deeply I mean like being able to inhale for more than two seconds or so. Longer inhalation also helps stabilize your voice (short inhalation in contrast does make your voice sound unstable). That means that there may be phrases that you need to combine them into one breath. It sounds counterintuitive but it honestly helps. Try exploring that and see how it helps.
