× I love singing because I feel like freedom.
✓ I love singing because I feel free.
The phrase 'feel like freedom' is incorrect because 'like' is used to compare or indicate similarity, but here the intended meaning is to express a state or feeling. The correct adjective is 'free' to describe the feeling. So, 'I feel free' is the proper expression.
× Yes, I try to learn it by myself, but I was not very good at singing.
✓ Yes, I tried to learn it by myself, but I was not very good at singing.
The sentence refers to a past action, so the verb 'try' should be in the past tense 'tried' to maintain tense consistency.
× But before right now I I think I improved a little bit after teaching myself how to sing.
✓ But before now, I think I have improved a little bit after teaching myself how to sing.
The phrase 'before right now' is awkward; 'before now' is better. Also, 'I improved' is simple past, but since the improvement relates to the present, present perfect 'have improved' is more appropriate.
× I want to sing for as many people as possible, but uh, I did not have many shows and uh, singing is not my strong point, so I just sing for my friends and my family.
✓ I want to sing to as many people as possible, but uh, I have not had many shows and uh, singing is not my strong point, so I just sing for my friends and my family.
The verb 'sing' is usually followed by the preposition 'to' when indicating the audience. Also, 'did not have many shows' should be 'have not had many shows' to indicate experience up to now.
× It depends a lot of singer as well.
✓ It depends a lot on the singer as well.
The correct preposition after 'depends' is 'on', not 'of'. So, 'depends a lot on the singer' is correct.
