But here's the thing suppose a teacher or preacher is a studious person and a person of prayer and burden and he or she is softspoken then they are labeled as boring and dry often times.
I understand some Christians are demonstrative than others,some are more reserved.
But to equate loudness with anointing would seem to be religious tradition.

Indeed... some Christians are demonstrative and others are more reserved but that should only affect each individuals manner of praise.
If one is demonstrative they shouldn't condemn someone who isn't when they give their praise. Each persons praise is a product of who they are as a person as they offer a praise to God that comes from the core of their being.
Someone would think ill of someone who had a problem with someone who offered a more reserved praise. That would be terrible.
It seems to me that people find it more acceptable to have a problem with someone who has a more demonstrative praise. The reality of the issue is that our personal tastes should enter into what we give as a praise but we should be accepting of others particular genre of praise when they are giving their praise.
If someone has a particular taste in praise/worship music then they would do well to either participate themselves or encourage others of like tastes to sing often in the service schedules.
The problem I find is that often there is an older caste of people who do not like the music being sang and want a new generation of singers to sing "their" songs. I constantly encourage the older singers to continue to bring songs to the services but it's hard to get them to consistently bring songs.
It is not, though, very difficult to locate some ridicule because we don't do it "like they did it way back when".
Often the reason there isn't "my style" of music is because those who sing that style rarely contribute anymore but still want others to continue in their traditions.
There is one common tradition... praise. But when people want an older style to continue in a new generation it can become problematic.
The songs of yesteryear were "what was hot"... "What was popular"... "what was today" for that day just as it is today.
