I know what you mean. It is always difficult to get up and belt your ass off in front of people because even though you know you rock, there's always that little diablo on your shoulder telling you people hate you for it, or that you really do suck. I made myself get over that a long time ago when I read this quote from Marvin Gaye - 'To be an artist is a blessing and a privilege. Artists must never betray their true hearts.' It always kicks me in the ass & makes me appreciate the gift I have, and helps me want and need to share it with others. Anyway, might I suggest singing in the shower? I find it's a little easier to warm up this way - the noise of the water covers up some of the singing 'noise,' the steam helps open up the vocal cords, and it's much more relaxing than just standing in the middle of your basement or living room. I also find it easier to sing in the house when there are lots of photos or knicknacks around to gaze at when singing. That way you can 'lose yourself' in the song and/or the photo and before you know it, you're belting your ass off without even thinking about it. Hope this helps at all. Good luck!
