This is going a different way with this topic, but with regard to the above statement. Does anyone else out there find, when watching "uneducated" audiences, that effortlessness doesn't cut it? What I mean is, I tend to see bigger ovations for singers who LOOK like they are working hard, than for singers who don't. I believe that one of the important things about learning technique is to NOT make it look hard. A good example of what I mean is Sarah Brightman. Every time I see her, she looks like an 18-year-old singer, you can see every trick she is using to move her voice around, yet she gets ovations and accolades galore.
Just my observations!
