I also think a manuscript is important so that you say exactly what you intend to say and you can craft your words more precisely. I am a musician and so I appreciate your comment about crafting for the ear. I am aware that my voice is an instrument with a great range and try to use it effectively. Thank you for sharing!
I'm really grateful that, despite not being a musician, my parents got me into musical lessons as a child, and I had opportunity to be part of a number of choirs. Music really shapes one's understanding of the world, and only for the positive :)
