I don't do that. I sing into an open mic on a stand in the room. Of course, to each his own. The blanket mutes the room.... I like the room.

If you don't like the sound of your own voice, you need to keep working on the process. There's a sweet spot that you have to find. Most folks can sing well enough. Listen to Tom Waite and Willie Nelson among others who really don't have a superb voice, but none the less, stuck with it and pushed through the barriers and became singers who set new levels on the bar to success and singing.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
