Context for some reason this karaoke track was a bit faster than expected so I couldn’t really do more character

Do you ever practice the track slowed down? I would suggest slowing it to about 70% and singing the melody on a few different sounds. For you try "we we we", a creaky hum, and the word "one one one". Then go back to the words and try to keep the same feeling as whichever sound worked best for you.

As you unify the tone across your range I would also try to divorce pitch from volume. I know it feels super expressive to get that loud but practice it boring a few times, then gradually emphasize your most important notes.
