Do you find you can sing better when you're not recorded?

hm..you could do your best as a guitarist dude..rather than singing...needs lots of practice sweetie, I don't really on to recording myself but when I was about your age, I always go for singing contest, you know, amateur singing contest, its good to earn a little money from it, I really didn't focus on it, I'm bringing prizes... sometimes a cute trophy from some county but as a teen I preferred cash..:) well, enjoy & be happy for whatever feels you to do...good luck.
