Nice voice might possessing, not necessary to use.  Splendid weaving skills, not necessary to demonstrate on cloths... 
A chant that passed is a chant past, a chant to come is a chant coming, a real chant can only be the one that vibrates now…
The practice is about the alignment of the intention and its action, it is not about the result of the actions. The more we can detach from the disturbance, the more we are connected.
