Reduce Effort - Akira the Don, Manly P. Hall

But by this means of effortless effort, the individual changes his policy

And a good example of this method of changing is in the selection of an

adequate vocal coach, if you intend to take singing lessons

In the, shall we say, «robusto style», the principal problem was to open your

mouth and bellow

And nearly all, or many of the older singers were quite content and happy if

they could rattle the chandeliers in the back of the opera house

Then it was gradually discovered that this was the best way to ruin a voice,

that there was

These voices were damaged, and damaged terribly

Today we know

That the best way to learn

To vocalize, is to reduce effort

Today we know

That the best way to learn

To vocalize, is to reduce effort

The principal problem that every singer has to get rid of is his own throat

If he could lose it, he would sing better

Get his mind off of the noise he is making, relax, and allow the breath to move

as it will

And if he controls the breath with a minimum of mental energy, he will produce

a purer tone

While if he gets behind it and shoves with everything he has, he will develop

only a badly pressured, badly trained voice

Today we know

That the best way to learn

To vocalize, is to reduce effort

Today we know

That the best way to learn

To vocalize, is to reduce effort

Same thing in life

Same thing in life

The purpose of life, the economy of life, is to use a minimum amount of energy

to obtain maximum result

Minimum amount of energy, maximum result

Minimum amount of energy, maximum result

Minimum amount of energy, maximum result

Same thing in life

Minimum amount of energy, maximum result
