pitchshy

Also in: Chorusscheu (Deutsch) · estrotímido (Español) · sotimide (Français)

Describing the group singer who waits for the chorus and opens up only when everyone else is singing.

The pitchshy singer contributes air and mouth-shape to verses and blooms in the chorus, where cover is plentiful. Given a solo, they study the ceiling. Their voice is genuinely good, the household insists, and one day the pitchshy will prove it, quietly, in the car, alone, loudly.

Etym. — pitch + shy — the reserve that lifts only in the chorus.
