Thanks! I believe also knowing what is happening inside your throat could help you to be more confident when you are on stage. I have been taking singing lessons for a while now, and sometimes in this path you learn that in order to create an atmosphere o a concrete sensation, you might be using a wrong technique, and you need to use something else to create that thing you were looking for. Lowering your larynx, nasality, mask and pharyngeal resonance, twang... there's a lot to learn! youtube.com/watch?v=9FX49_AbcyY
I hope this helps too!

People often concentrate so much on the content of their presentation that they forget the delivery.
