I had an interesting discussion with a colleage in English some years ago in which I told him of our dilemma in voice regarding talent vs. effort. He said that there was the same problem in English: one student might work all semester on a paper and just didn't write very well, while another student might stay up all night the night before the paper was due and turn out a good paper.
Sadly, life is "results oriented." I do believe that, as my father told me, "Time wounds all heels." i.e. Eventually bad study habits will catch up with you. I think we all know of singers who have been fired for simply not being prepared. Nevertheless, it is the singers with the most talent who tend to be the most successful. Nobody ever said life was fair!
Just my opinion, I could be wrong!
