119 | Why You Keep Putting Off Recording Your Songs

from Singer Songwriter | How to Write a Song, Make Music, Song Lyrics, Music Theory, Singing Lessons · host Lainey Prendeville Crawford - Vocal Coach, Singer, Songwriter, Songwriting Coach

Why do you keep putting off recording your songs — even when the song is finished? You finally finish the lyrics. You make the revisions. You find the version of the song that feels true. And then, somehow, recording it becomes the thing you keep avoiding. I've noticed this pattern in my own creative process. After spending the summer paying attention to the different stages of songwriting — from gathering ideas and choosing, to navigating the messy middle, finishing, and sharing — I've realized that recording is one of my own creative bottlenecks. In this episode, I explore why recording can feel so much harder than writing the song itself, and how perfectionism, overthinking, and the pressure to get it "right" can keep us from taking the next step. If you've been sitting on a finished song — or a song that's almost finished — and somehow can't seem to get yourself to record it, this one is for you. <3 Lainey Next Steps: Join the Newsletter: reawakenyourvoice.com/insider Visit the Website: reawakenyourvoice.com Write Me: [email protected]
