the first is sound. This is a very professional knowledge, including breath, voice, mouth * * * and the way of spitting words.
the second is emotion. This requires a singer to have a better understanding of words and melodies. Many friends put all their emphasis on the voice while singing, ignoring emotions, which will never sing a good song. The reason for paying too much attention to the voice is that the singer's strength is limited, and it is inevitable that he always thinks about where to pay attention to the breath, where to take a breath, and when he is approaching the high note. Therefore, if singing is to be "full of sound and emotion", it is very important to practice. When you practice your voice, you will pay attention to your emotions when you sing. There is a saying that songs are not sung with your mouth, but with your heart. If the vocalization is practiced to the point where the breath is thorough and the fire is perfect, the singing will inject emotion more freely and the appeal of the interpretation of the song will be stronger.
the third is feeling. The feeling of music is born, as much as you have, and the feeling of music made up the day after tomorrow is very little. Pop songs need the feeling of pop songs, and folk songs need the feeling of folk songs. For example, if you want Yan Weiwen to sing "Nothing", I'm sure you will laugh a bunch of people! Singers' feelings are different, and their singing songs are handled in different ways, some of which are very dull and some are exciting. These treatments are very subtle, such as a little breath, an emphatic accent, a long drawl without breath or a sudden ending ... These can only be understood.
the fourth is the sense of rhythm and intonation. Have you ever seen a 3-year-old child beat the rhythm of adding flowers when he heard a melody? Have you ever seen a 3-year-old child singing live, and his father accompanied him on the accordion, changing his tone at any time? Are all the tones he sang accurate? Have you ever seen an 8-year-old child hum the pronunciation of "1" in any tone such as "E-flat" and "C-sharp" at any time without hearing any sound, and then press it on the keyboard to check that it is completely accurate? This is talent. Singing songs requires such a foundation. Although it is not as outstanding as them, it must not be weak.
the fifth is quality. This is the difference between amateur singers and professional singers. In fact, many amateur singers are as good as professional singers in terms of voice, emotion, feeling, rhythm and intonation. The gap lies in quality. Do you know your body and expression when you sing? You may have a vague image, that is, when you put yourself into singing, you imagine yourself, and this image is probably the original image of the song you sang. But these are all your imagination, and the image you imagine is almost perfect. Do you know what you see? Have you ever filmed your own formal singing with a video camera? In fact, you can tell whether you are an amateur or a professional from the first look or the first sentence when you go on stage. The qualities mentioned here also include the understanding of music theory, musical instruments, music history and common sense, etc. Of course, many professional singers are not comprehensive, but I personally think that if you want to be a professional singer, you should implement these and be worthy of the word "professional".
● Understand the lyrics
Before learning a new song, how many times have you read the words in your mind from beginning to end? How many times have you tried to figure out the mind of the lyricist and the artistic conception he expressed? For a song, whether there is a word or a song first, the authors of both sides carefully ponder the artistic conception and thoughts that the other side (lyricist or songwriter) wants to express. If you come here, you should totally ignore their good intentions and just sing with your own feelings. I think it is inappropriate. Some personality singers like to express themselves according to their own understanding, which is not bad (and I like it), but I will first understand the author's intention before I play it. Besides, not every song is suitable for you to play at will, and you can't find a more suitable expression for some lyrics, such as the national anthem.
After you have a deep understanding of songs, your emotional handling will definitely be much better. If you have a strong perception, you can't help singing a certain tone, lightly passing a certain tone, and a passionate long tone will be full ...
Is there any difference between talking and singing except melody, rhythm and breath? Yes, that's the way to spit words. Please read "Let me love enough at a time" in your way of speaking at will, and then sing it with your heart ... You will find that your mouth is open to both sides when you sing, and it should be exaggerated. If you think it's almost the same, there is something wrong with your vomit. Therefore, singing should be more exaggerated than the mouth shape, so that the words will be clearer, the breath will be smoother and more suitable for expressing emotions.
it's better to sing Chinese songs in a standard way. For example, the differences between "Z, C, S" and "an, ang" and "L, N" are easily confused. Singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan sometimes deliberately sing individual words without rolling their tongues, or they can't beat their tongues, or they don't think it sounds good, or they don't know the pronunciation at all.
As for Cantonese songs, I advise you to learn them well before singing, otherwise it will be very funny.
● Breath
When it comes to this topic, I am a little at a loss, because it is the most difficult thing to express in words. I practiced bel canto for two years before singing, which gave me a deep feeling and helped me a lot. Generally, people who haven't studied vocal music have a flat voice, so they pronounce it in the position where they usually speak (voice). We call it "white" with no color and no filter. Describe the method of practicing bel canto.
The sound should be rooted in the lower abdomen. Imagine that the sound passes through the back spine, to the back of the head and to the back of the mouth. The whole sound should be upright and backward. Please find the feeling that you take a big bite of an apple, exposing your upper teeth, and at the same time, you make a "hmm" sound, feeling the position of the sound in the back of your mouth and the upper part of your nose. This is a * * * sound point of Bel Canto. Next, the breath sinks, the lower abdomen expands, and a little force is exerted on the lower abdomen. When the male voice is depressed by the Adam's apple, the female voice pays more attention to the position of the voice behind the head, and you will find that the voice is much louder than before. Practicing against the wall often helps to make sound, because leaning against the wall can touch your back spine, which makes it easier for you to find the feeling, and the * * * sound of the chest cavity can vibrate with the wall, which makes it easier for you to find the feeling of the chest cavity. Start with the practice of "Mi Ma" and gradually increase it, which is helpful to practice high-pitched breath; Practice from high to low again, and repeat it, and one day you will find the feeling. Bel canto pays attention to "transparency" and often imagines that his voice is erect, not flat; In addition, we also pay attention to the "* * * sound". After the sound passes through the chest or above the chest, it will be round and full. To experience the * * * sound, you can do this: close your mouth and make a "hmm" sound, with a little affectionate feeling. If the "hmm" is longer, you will feel your head and chest vibrating. If the breath is good, this * * * sound will add a lot of color to your voice. Listen carefully to the speeches of some tall Americans, and you will know what is chest * * * (foreigners' chest structure is more likely to produce * * *).
Another thing to mention is lung capacity. Singers need a lot of lung capacity when singing, such as some long, breathless melody. Don't be flushed and panting after singing. Lung capacity can only be maintained by regular exercise. Also, mastering certain skills can make up for some phenomena of insufficient vital capacity. First of all, we should practice breathing. A good vocal method can well control the flow of sound through your voice. For example, when you sing the sentence "... I'm not afraid that you will betray me ...", a singer with unstable breath may sing the sound of "fear" by blasting at once, and let the breath with insufficient lung capacity run away at once. If there is a long sentence that doesn't breathe, it's strange not to suffocate him. And singers with good breath skills can control the flow of these sonic boom, and there will be no flutter in the microphone when singing. So I suggest that you put a candle in front of your mouth when practicing your voice, and try to keep the candle from shaking when practicing your voice! In this way, your qi will remain in your body for a long time. Think about whether you keep breathing out for a long time or whether you can't hold your breath for a long time Of course, this requires the singer to relax, not to be nervous. If he is nervous, his heart will beat faster, and your breath will be even more unstable.
However, it should be reminded that vocal practice is the basis of singing pop songs. Never use vocal practice to directly interpret pop songs. That would be too artificial, and he would sing "nothing" like Yan Weiwen.
As far as the voice of popular songs is concerned, as long as it conforms to the artistic conception of the songs, it's okay to shout and break, but these are absolutely forbidden in Bel Canto, so we should learn from each other's strong points, because we don't practice Bel Canto for singing, but we practice Bel Canto for singing well, just like practicing "Ma bu" in martial arts. Have you ever seen squatting while fighting?
Some friends say that this expression is difficult to understand. It is also an effective way for me to talk about the pop singers whose breath is very transparent, so it is easier to understand according to their feelings.
● treble
This is a favorite question asked by friends. In their words, because the treble is "enough to drag", hehe! Once again, good singing should be integrated in many aspects, and it cannot be said that the higher the tenor, the better the singing. It's true that a good tenor can add rendering power to the climax of a song, but friends are advised not to just know the value of tenor and ignore the bass. In fact, the full bass is also very infectious. < P > When singing a tenor, the breath must be based on the lower abdomen and abdomen, and the Beijing dialect pays attention to the "abdomen breath" which also refers to this vocal position.
Finding Feeling 1: What would you do if you were a girl and suddenly there was a mouse on your shoes? It is estimated that there will be a long sound of "ah ~", and there is also the sound position of "falsetto". When you are calm, you can look at "Ah ~" and most of them will never "Ah" again. Why? Because at the moment when you were frightened, your lower abdomen was tense. (Think about the feeling of being frightened, is your whole body muscle tense? It is precisely because of this foundation, coupled with a strong airflow (which can be understood as the breath of singing), it is strange that the voice is not high. Therefore, you can understand the feeling of soaring high notes as "nervousness" and "cheer up". Remember, everything is based on the lower abdomen. To sing high notes is not to raise your head and pull it up, but to feel a rebound force with your center of gravity down.
Find Feeling 2: Have you ever seen a rubber hose? What should I do if I want the water in the pipe to soar further? Tighten the front end of the water pipe, the gap is small, the pressure increases, and the water rushes further. Actually, the treble doesn't have to be loud. Some singers sing loudly when they sing the treble. We say that they are singing with strength and vital capacity, not with breath and skill. Imagine the faucet theory, and you should be able to realize some truth.
Feeling 3: There is a big stone on the ground. Lift it. As soon as you bend down, you count: "One, two, three, go …". I think you must have used the word "go". I won't say much, just feel it, there's something heavy around me ... Hehe! These are just some methods I created to make you feel the breath. They are informal, but they are very effective.
I also want to tell you that the ability to express treble is related to your own voice condition. If your voice is naturally high, it is a great advantage. For example, "Sun Nan" is a typical high voice, and the treble interpretation will not be so laborious. A singer with poor voice condition depends on a lot of breath and methods, but whether the voice condition is good or not, the voice is sung through breath, just like a cigarette passing through a filter, and it will be more beautiful if the voice is filtered.
In addition, I will tell you a psychological method. Imagine that you are singing in front of the vast sea when you are high-pitched, and you can't see the sea and the sky at the edge. Isn't this scenery worth shouting loudly?
● Mid bass
Generally, mid bass should be full and affectionate. But like high notes, many people lack the * * * sound of the middle and low notes. Bass can only be reflected by the chest * * * sound and broad voice structure, and it is congenital. In my experience, it is difficult to practice a lot of low-pitched voices, and it is good to be able to play a few scales. If you must record songs with rich bass, you will get up in the morning and record them directly without brushing your teeth or washing your face, and the sound will go down a lot. Therefore, people who lack bass try to avoid such songs, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and people who are rich in bass must make good use of their potential. It is very charming to sing bass well!
When singing bass, you should relax your chest and throat. You can strengthen some * * * sounds by sighing, and you can add some breath to produce oral * * * sounds in really low places, which will make you feel richer. But in any case, people with rich voices have much more room to play.
We should polish the alto, including breathing with words, which is aesthetic. Of course, this is related to the feeling of singing skills. Listen to "Cai Qin" for the alto.
● Holiness and style
Many singers only pay attention to the details of sentences, and put the details of singing on the top of "sentences" instead of the whole song.
Draw an undulating line for the whole song, and you will know where to keep a low profile and where to keep a high profile. Set your sights higher, just like the sense of position on the football field. How can you effectively cooperate with the long pass attack by staring at the local area?
don't talk about style unless you have certain strength. In the early stage of the singer, I am in favor of imitating, but don't be single. Sing more songs of singers of various styles, and you will master some initial experiences of singing, singing and breath. This is a good thing. When you are mature, it is natural to add your own practice and sentiment, and then explore your own style.
You should put in your singing, but you should put in a certain amount. You don't want to put in "hard" or be too sad or happy. On the basis of understanding the meaning of the words, you can put in a measured amount. For example, there are some similar words: "... how can you make me feel sad ...", I have met people who sing in great pain, so they are not infectious, but feel funny. But I have also seen a really lovelorn friend sing this song in karaoke. When singing, he was expressionless, singing very calmly, and his voice was vicissitudes. The helplessness and loneliness deduced from his singing infected everyone at the scene. I think this is just the right measure, and there is no need to cry. But how many people can perform this at any time? It depends on the singer's musical feeling.
Some friends unconsciously exaggerate the characteristics of a star when they imitate a singer. For example, when they imitate Jacky Cheung, they will make that strange thick voice with excessive pressure (a characteristic of Jacky Cheung in the early days, but it seems rare now); When imitating Leslie Cheung, he will exaggerate his Lickitung-like * * * singing; When imitating Wang Fei, it is the kind of tongue-tied strange sound that makes people feel funny. Actually, listening to the original song carefully is not so exaggerated. I've heard a friend who sounds like Jacky Cheung sing, and he didn't know the right measure every time he sang Xueyou's songs. Later, I advised him to be more natural and more like the original singer. In fact, sometimes it's good to ask your friends for advice.
In addition, people with rich emotions will perform better than those with dull emotions. It is also necessary for the singer to have rich life experience to resonate with the emotions in the song. The more you experience,
