Ensure you're projecting from your stomach and diaphragm as opposed to your upper half like your nose etc.
It's a common mistake made by most singers when they start.
Learn breathing techniques/warm-up techniques (some are strange, like blowing your lips like a horse and stuff.....I know)
Sing along to piano scales to get an idea for pitch/tone.

You've taken the first big steps by recording your voice, I'd strongly suggest getting a good vocal mic and some recording gear and keep recording your voice, then listen back and pick things out like how you pronounce certain words and where you think you could project a lot better.

I always found if the song meant a lot to me while I was singing I would sing a lot better, being enticed with the music helps a ton.

Get a singing teacher.

I suspect much of it comes down to basic inbred talent because I've never really liked singing and I don't do it a lot, but I'm really really good at it without trying. It just makes sense to me and I have perfect pitch. Unfortunately we all have our own limitations and our own talents and you can't always choose what they are.

Remember that Disney movie Ratatouille? Anyone can do something, you just have to put in the effort. I've been singing for years now, and I sing tenor/baritone. The best advice I can give you is to sing every single day, and make sure that you're not abusing your voice excessively (e.x. shouting a great deal, dehydration, etc.)
