A NEW LANGUAGE

Peanuts' Teacher Calls Out Charlie Brown & Linus - "Wah Wa Wa Wah Wa Wa" - 1969


WAH, WAH, WAH - WEH, WEH, WEH.

These are strange sounds. They have become the new means of communication in contemporary singing. Instead of hearing the words, we see the contortions that the singer goes through to PRONOUNCE them. Many great voices, but no clarity of sound. For example; we hear EYEtalian, not Italian. The thrill of a clear sound is gone. The words are unintelligible. Vibrato - resonance.

DON'T EAT THE WORDS

Working harder to pronounce words uses more energy than necessary. The body is the most efficient instrument in the world and a MINIMUM of air is needed to produce sound. The words RIDE on air drawn from the inflated diaphragm below, and the sound takes the air it wants. Sound and words become ONE. Pronouncing words destroys this Clarity. Vibration - squillo.  

WHOAH WAH!

(translation)

NO JAW!
