You sound a bit nasaly at some points, which creates this weird bright vowel sound in an area where taller vowels are needed. An example of that is when you are singing "O' Beatitiful O' Spacious Skies"
At the very start when you're singing "Oh", I can sense that your tongue is raised and your jaw is super dropped, which makes the sound more muted. Try "Oh ok," and replicate that Oh, on that initial note and see if it works or not. After that, drop your jaw a little bit, and you should hear better projection as well. Try doing this on other vowels that sound off, and just say the word normally, drop jaw, and repeat for anything you find. Hope this helps!
