naomi,
oddly enough, i am a serious ham when it comes to telling jokes or amusing stories and i don't seem to have much trouble remembering the obscene versions of songs that i have or, someone else has come up with. so, perhaps it is the more protected emotions that i feel more vunerable in expressing.
you are correct in assuming i am comfortable making recordings. i seem to be able to concentrate solely on what i am doing when making some kind of recording. having the option to assess what i have done and 're-calibrate my aim' for the next take, makes the process more like painting rather than performing.
i think the fear of recording comes from several things; inexperience with recording, a deadline, working with a large group where multiple takes are impractical and being in a recording situation where expense is a major consideration. there is not a whole lot one can do about any of these except the first one. and i am astonished at how many singers do not tape themselves on a regular basis.
