Buzz said: 'Sometimes, I feel that it is easier to do live because I'm much more into the moment and trying to turn nerves into positive energy so I forget about scrutinizing everything and just sing. I know this is the right way to do it. I just have to shut off the part of my mind that keeps trying to worry me about every little thing.' WOW. You really just summed it up right there. That is exactly the difference between live performing and studio recording, exactly the issues we probably all have. Live performance HAS that crowd energy automatically built in, but you have to go within yourself to find the energy and attitude of the song when you are recording it. I have had issues with this too, and have even used my acting skills to try and get into it, just as Mike said. It helps me to think about the frame of mind I was in or the emotions I went through when I actually wrote the song. However, sometimes that can be bad if your song is old and has bad memory association. If that happens, I just try not to think about who I wrote it for or about, and put it into context in my current life. This can be difficult sometimes as we all know that sounds and smells are some of the biggest memory triggers, but the more you play out the easier it gets. Good luck Buzz!
