× whenever I'm feeling stressed, singing would be my favorite hobby to lift my mood.
✓ whenever I'm feeling stressed, singing is my favorite hobby to lift my mood.
The modal verb 'would' is incorrectly used here to express a habitual action. Since the sentence describes a regular occurrence, the simple present tense 'is' should be used instead to indicate a habitual fact.
× I took part in a vocal training class which helps me correct my speech and my vocals.
✓ I took part in a vocal training class which helped me correct my speech and my vocals.
The verb 'helps' is in the present tense, but the action refers to a past event ('I took part'). Therefore, the verb should be in the past tense 'helped' to maintain tense consistency.
× Uh, it's especially during special occasions like festivals or birthdays.
✓ Uh, it's especially true during special occasions like festivals or birthdays.
The original sentence lacks a main verb and is incomplete. Adding 'true' after 'especially' completes the sentence and clarifies the meaning. The preposition 'during' is correctly used here.
