Akira The Don, Manly P Hall - Reduce Effort lyrics

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
Same thing in life
