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.

Podcasting

  • Hearing your own ums and rambling tangents played back would deter you.
  • Editing that eats four times the recording length sounds unbearable.
  • Talking into a near-silent void with no quick feedback would deflate you.
