Before you commit

Choir Singing

  • Your single voice exposed and wandering off pitch would mortify you.
  • You would rather sing solo than blend and bury yourself in a section.
  • Weekly rehearsals and sight-reading rhythms feel like too much commitment.

Singing

  • Wincing at your own recorded voice would stop you before you started.
  • Slow, physical progress on breath and pitch would feel too intangible.
  • The vulnerability of being heard sounds like something to avoid, not embrace.
