So, I've been singing for 2 years now, and I recently got a microphone, an amp with a headphone input, and a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones. I plug the headphones into the amp, and sing into the microphone, and I sound really good. On pitch a majority of the time, and when I'm not, I fix my pitch and I sound amazing for the rest of the song when I sing. I sang the other day in front of a couple of people, and they told me I had that "raw natural talent." Problem is, when I use my iPhone (4) or my windows 8 ASUS laptop to record myself singing, I sound bad. Not bad as in nasally, or off pitch. Just like, really flat, bland, and like I'm not singing at all. However, when I sing into the mic with my headphones on, I sound really really good. I have full resonance, I don't sound flat or bland, and I even amazed myself with how I sounded. I'm not entirely sure if it's the laptop/phone's microphone's fault, or if it's mine. I'm really confused and I'm starting to get discouraged because this isn't the first time that this has happened before. I've always wanted a mic because I'm a lead vocalist/back up vocalist in my band, so it was a necessity, and the headphones stop the vibrations going in my head so I can hear myself and how my voice is exactly, which is pretty cool. So I personally think it's the laptop/phone's fault, but I wanted to see what everyone else thought about this. I DO smoke, but not while singing. What do y'all think?
Added (1). I just straight up record with my phone's camera, or my laptop's webcam. No effects or anything. Just the regular settings of the webcam & the camera's microphone & quality
