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.

The vulnerability of being heard sounds like something to avoid, not embrace.
