I can see a couple of ways this fear when singing could correlate with a fear in business. Fight or flight is real in many situations. Thanks so much!

It is such a shame, because when I am not scared, I can sing so beautifully. what a shame. I have such terrible stage fright when singing. I would love to learn to let go of that and be able to sing with abandon. I admire those who can.

This is a particularly pertinent posting, which eventually effects all singers.
Many naturally talented vocalists never truly understand their instrument, and when a vocal
problem arises, they don't know why it's happened or how to correct it. A good vocal teacher's ear is a necessity. He/ she can instantly tell when the voice is off track and get the singer back to the basics.
As a personal example, I was once having some problems with high notes and for some irrational reason started cocking my jaw to the side, instead of dropping it straight down. I associated my better high notes with the incorrect jaw position, when common sense should have told me otherwise. My teacher had me sing exercises holding a mirror, proving to me, the improper jaw position was a detriment, not a benefit.
As my teacher, Walter Kirschner, loved to remind me; " tenors have resonance where others have brains!"
