I agree with this. I'm wondering if there is a sound decibel app you can get and use that as you practice. You really need to work on the volume and dynamics of your voice and playing and that takes practice both alone and in front of audiences. Try to be more conscious of how it feels as you're singing and playing. Usually I'm fine with volume and dynamics, it's the rhythm that increases when I'm on stage. I've been performing since the 60s and still have to pay attention to that. There is a wonderful energy that comes from an audience and you just need to learn how to channel it in the right way. You'll get there.
