The correct method of vocalization when singing: ?

When singing, the Adam's apple sinks and the vocal cords hum. Be careful not to just shout in your throat. The sound comes from the lower abdomen, that is, the Dantian. Sing with the feeling of sighing. Pass the sound from the Dantian along the spine to the top of the head. The sound is naturally transparent and clean. Don't rely too much on your voice. Vocal music is an art, not a technique. You must not practice blindly. Practicing with the wrong method will only damage your voice and even cause congestion of the vocal cords.

Singing skills:

Singing is an art. In order to improve people's ability to learn to sing, they should be given training in singing skills. The training content includes: singing posture, breathing , breathing, pronunciation and articulation and other aspects of the requirements.

Operation method

1. Singing sound production:

Larynx and vocal cords

The larynx and vocal cords are the vocal organs of singing. The core of singing is the fortress leading to overall singing and the golden key to the treasure house of singing art. Therefore, it is very necessary to understand and clarify the position and state of the larynx and vocal cords when singing. Generally speaking, the throat position when singing should be lower than when speaking (just like the feeling of the throat when we inhale deeply, because the throat position when inhaling is slightly lower than the throat position when resting). Many people think The position of the larynx during inhalation is called position. When singing from word to word or sentence to sentence, the larynx should always be in this position and should not move upward or downward from the horizontal position, or to the left or right. Of course, the stability of the larynx position is Relative stability in motion, rather than rigid stability. Just like a ball floating on the water is always stable on the water, if the ball is compared to a throat, the state of the ball floating on the water is like the state of the throat being stable in the inhalation position. Therefore, the position of the larynx when singing should always be in a low, stable and stable position with the larynx wall open.

2. Open the throat:

In singing training, "opening the throat" is a very important central link, which directly affects the quality of the voice. "Opening the throat" means stabilizing the throat in the correct position, actively contracting the mouth lid upward into an arch, relaxing the base of the tongue and placing it flat behind the lower teeth, opening the jaws, relaxing the jaw and lowering it naturally and then pulling it later. The throat at this time is open. So how can we help beginners "open their throats"?

(l) "Yawning" state The "yawning" state allows the mouth to open naturally, relax, lift the mouth cover, and increase the space in the mouth. Therefore, when singing, the throat should not be blocked, but should be opened to let the breath come out freely. The "yawn" state is indeed a good way to open the throat, and it also ensures the singer to be in a good singing state. In daily practice, you can also "yawn" with your mouth closed. When you yawn with your mouth closed, the state inside is also open and raised. If we can maintain this state when singing, then your voice will be It will no longer be "white" or "flat", your voice will be "hard". "Round".

(2) Use the "smile" state to open the throat. The "smile" we are talking about is not just smiling, but refers to lifting the "smile muscles". The purpose of raising the "smiley muscles" is to open the nose and pharynx, open the big teeth, and make the smiley muscles (zygomatic bones) on both sides of the face look like a smile. Such a smile can open your throat and allow you to achieve a high-pitched voice. . "The state of singing is yawning inside and smiling outside." This is a very insightful saying.

3. A good middle voice area:

The middle voice area is the basis of singing. Without a good middle voice area, nothing else can be discussed. We should pay attention to the practice of the middle voice area, work more on the middle voice area, and don't rush to sing high notes. When practicing, we first start practicing in the middle voice range with medium and small volumes. After a period of consolidation, we will slowly develop to a higher or lower range. Beginners must follow the steps from easy to difficult. The principle is to follow the step-by-step principle. Otherwise, if you practice treble vigorously from the beginning, you will not only fail to obtain the correct treble, but will damage your vocal cords. The middle vocal area should be bright, easy, smooth and effortless, so that it can develop upwards and open the way for singing high notes. The sound in the middle vocal range should not be forced to be loud, but should be natural and free, requiring beautiful timbre and flexibility of the voice. The important range of each voice is the middle range. In the middle voice area, you need to inhale deeply. Breathing should be natural, elastic, positive, and have support points. The larynx should be stable and relaxed. Do not sing high or low notes. The feeling of the larynx should be in the same position. The sound should be Send it outward, but keep the sound in the same tone and position from beginning to end. We often use metaphors such as "the sound should be like threading through pearls, threading each sound on a line" and so on, which means that the sound should be coherent, unified and rounded.

4. Regarding the voice-changing area:

When you sing from the bass upwards, when you reach a certain point, you will find it difficult and easy to get stuck. This is the voice-changing area. , at this time, you must use a certain method to continue singing. The singer should first basically master the singing method in the middle vocal area, and then make specific adjustments according to individual needs.

There are several methods that you can practice:

(l) The action of "taking a breath": it is when the singer sings the sound of changing the voice (pronounces the vowel sound) (at the same time), make a gasping movement, like a "startled" physiological state, let the larynx slightly downward and back to fully open the oropharyngeal cavity, and at the same time, move the middle vocal area upward when singing The breath sent behind the gums gradually moves upward as the pitch gradually opens, and the mouth gradually opens. At this time, the sound feels upward and farther forward. At this time, the sound naturally enters the voice changing zone.

(2) Vowel conversion technique: when singing to the voice change area, the voice should be covered up in advance, the voice should be darker, the air volume should be smaller, and the small tongue should be raised a little. When you encounter the voice-changing point, one thing must be emphasized, that is, when you find it difficult to sing, or even when your voice seems to be broken, do not change the shape of the vocal organ, do not move or exert any force, and do not change the shape of the vocal organ. Just keep singing to the sound. In fact, changing the voice area is a problem of "mixing sounds", which is the combination of real and false sounds. To cover up some of the sound is to have elements of falsetto, but it cannot be completely false. It must be mixed with the real sound, so that there will be no trace of the connection of the sounds, and the sound will not be empty and empty. Therefore, if you learn the transition of voice points, you will also learn how to sing in falsetto, and the falsetto position is very beneficial to singing and solving the unification of sounds.

5. Singing vocal practice:

(1) Humming practice

When notating music, hum or m is often used to express humming. Humming is also called closed accent, commonly known as humming. Because there is a vibration in the eyebrows when humming, you should practice humming with your mouth closed before pronunciation. Humming can regulate breathing and vocal organs, adjust the high position of the sound, and easily obtain the deepest hum of the sound. Humming is easier in the mid-range. Correct humming helps with voice training and can reduce the burden on the voice. Wrong humming, especially in the high register, is harmful to the voice.

Practice requirements: Close your lips lightly, lightly touch the tip of your tongue against your lower teeth, loosen your upper and lower teeth, relax your lower jaw, neck, and larynx freely, inhale and breathe softly, open all the channels for making sounds, and make your voice From a high position, your nose, teeth, and lips will feel a slight tremor. Always keep inhaling when humming.

(2) Vowel practice

The vowels a, e, i, o, u, u are often used in singing. Pronunciation of the vowels correctly can enhance the singing ability of the song. , showing the rich colors of the sound.

Practice requirements: Each vowel must be pronounced at the same high position, the mouth should be raised and rounded, and the sound should be evenly spaced. Smooth, coherent, and always maintain the correct mouth shape.

(3) Legato practice

Leatoire is one of the most important foundations of singing and vocalization—only by connecting mellow, pure, and smooth sounds together can the music be complete. Legato singing is an important means of expression in singing.

Practice requirements: The respiratory organs and vocal organs should be in a natural, calm and relaxed state. Starting from the natural vocal area, you can practice semitone ascending and descending. When first practicing, the range should not exceed C’, and each exercise must be soft, even, and coherent. The attack and collection should be kept at a high position.

(4) Pause practice

Pause singing is an important technique and expression method for singing. The pause sound is a light, short, elastic sound produced by the flexible control of the breath and the rapid opening and closing of the vocal cords.

Practice requirements: Before pronunciation, you must first think about the exact pitch of the sound you want to make. It is a light, short and elastic sound. Inhale quickly, keep your breath, and close your vocal cords quickly in an instant. The breath can flexibly coordinate to produce sounds. You can cough softly to experience the cooperation between the opening and closing of the vocal cords and the breath. Start practicing in the middle vocal range, and then gradually expand to the low and high vocal ranges. In the low-pitched area, pay attention to the closure of the vocal cords to prevent air leakage; in the mid-pitched area, pay attention to the sound being even and light; in the high-pitched area, pay attention to keeping the respiratory and vocal organs open.

(5) Practice of opening the throat

In order to make the voice smooth and maintain a high position, the throat must be opened, the larynx stabilized, and the voice "flows out" smoothly.

Practice requirements: Learn to open your mouth to sing, that is, loosen the upper and lower teeth, relax the lower jaw so that it feels like the jaw is "falling", and the tip of the tongue is slightly touching the lower teeth. When singing octaves, from low to high, the vowels should not be broken, but should be sung together, and the oropharyngeal cavity should be opened from small to large at the same time. The breath cooperates smoothly to produce a round, smooth and free sound.

(6) Fast and flexible practice

The practice of changing the voice from slow and soft to fast and flexible is a skill that must be mastered in singing and vocalization. The control of breath should be more even and moderate, and the vocal organs should be more flexible. Only by being able to coordinate freely can we be flexible and fast.

Practice requirements: The sound must be flexible. First, relax the tongue, maintain the inhalation state, relax the mouth, lift the soft tip, and move the tip of the tongue flexibly and elastically.

(7) Combining word pronunciation practice (word practice)

The purpose of vocal practice is to sing the song more perfectly. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the articulation and enunciation of words accurately. , clear. It is extremely important to correctly master the four tones of the language, clarify the structural rules of Chinese character phonetics, and practice combining song tunes with Yayu and Tuyu.

Practice requirements: Before practicing singing, read each word according to the pronunciation sequence (head), month limit, belly), rhyme sequence and tail rib. Read it several times first, and then combine it with pronunciation exercises to bring the words together. In terms of pronunciation, we strive to make the words straight and round, and the pronunciation both elegant and lazy.

6. The correct singing posture is:

(l) The body should be naturally upright and naturally relaxed. The relaxation here is by no means loose or paralyzed. It should present a positive and uplifting attitude. state, that is, a state of full energy.

(2) The head should be kept in a slightly higher position with the eyes looking forward, the chest should be naturally raised, the shoulders should be slightly lower and back, the lower abdomen should be contracted, the arms should be naturally hanging down, and the whole body should have a sense of active movement. state.

(3) The feet should be slightly apart, one in front of the other, and the weight of the body should be steady and the weight should be on both feet.

(4) The face and eyes should be natural and vivid The eyebrows, eyes, and mouth are important parts of the facial features, and the eyes are the windows to the soul. Therefore, remember to open your eyes wider during singing, and do not squint your eyes and sing empty-handedly.

(5) The mouth is a singing trumpet. It should be opened and relaxed, and remember to clench your teeth tightly.

(6) When singing, the lower jaw should be retracted. The correct feeling should be as if a straight line is formed from the lower abdomen to between the eyebrows, and the neck, back and waist are connected in a straight line, so that the breath can flow smoothly. .

(7) When singing, you can give appropriate movements according to the inherent inertia of the song, but the movements should be concise and generous, and avoid being pretentious or superfluous. The posture requirements for sitting and singing are the same as those for standing, but make sure your waist is straight and not stiff, and you don't lean on the back of the chair. Make sure your buttocks don't sit on the entire bench surface, and sit on about 1/3 of the area, with both feet Separate slightly and bend naturally. You cannot sit with your legs crossed or cross your legs.
