Not cringing, since the headphones have been my only way of doing it for a 
while now.
But it's not the same as a monitor, because on stage, you don't have the 
luxury of having headphones on, hence no muffling of your own voice getting 
out of your vocal chords.
I have a hard time to describe it, but it's an overall unusual sound 
atmosphere that startled me so much one time I lost half of my register. 
Thankfully, I was just up for one song, a singer friend asked me up during 
her show.
I don't ever want it to happen again.

I beat stage fright long ago (in my case it was just a temporary stiffening 
of the legs), but this monitor thing is the closest I felt to panic on stage 
since then. I don't want it to ahppen again, so I'm working to get used to 
using a monitor.

Now, if only I had a very large bathroom with a bit of echo and reverb...
Alas, the accoustics are dry and flat in the current closet-thing that 
serves as a bathroom where I live.
Better get back to work, to get rich, buy a mansion, covert each room into a 
studio for each discipline I practice, and invite you people over for live 
puptcrit discussions.
