2. Professional employment direction and prospect analysis

My major is vocal music, which is of course my favorite major.

Vocal music is a form of music performed by one or more singers. With or without instrumental accompaniment, the human voice is the focus of the work. Vocal art is a very technical and practical subject. It is very difficult to learn only with theoretical knowledge and literary materials. It is mainly through correct learning. It is gradually completed through vocal training and continuous singing. Vocal music is a singing performance art that relies on the human voice to sing a beautiful voice.

The division of vocal parts is based on the physiological characteristics of the singer. Scientifically divided, due to the differences in the physiological conditions and structure of the vocal organs of each person, the sounds produced by people have different timbres and different ranges, which result in different voices. They are basically divided into: soprano, mezzo-soprano, and mezzo-soprano. Bass, tenor, baritone and bass.

I am a lyric soprano and I study national songs.

National singing method refers to our country’s traditional national vocal music singing method. It includes traditional singing methods of various operas, folk arts, and folk songs in various regions of our country. National singing methods place great emphasis on the relationship between language and music, and pay attention to the pronunciation rules of the singing language to deal with the pronunciation, singing, and accent, and pay attention to the five tones of the pronunciation of the characters. The four calls, the sound coming out, the rhyme returning, and the sound ending. The national singing method has a strong Chinese national temperament, personality, and style. Since the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, some systematic singing methods have been published, such as: [Yuan] Yan Nanzhi. An's "Singing Theory", [Ming Dynasty] Wei Liangfu's "Qu

Rhythm", [Ming Dynasty] Shen Chongsui's "Notes on Musical Performance", [Qing Dynasty] Xu Dachun's "Yuefu Chuansheng", [Qing Dynasty] ] Li Yu's "Idle Love", etc.

Employment Direction and Prospects

To be honest, there are many people like the teacher's lover who think that learning art, especially vocal music, is the most important thing. It will be difficult for people who want to find a job in this field in the future. This is not the case. There are so many people who study vocal music, but very few can actually step onto the stage.

There is still a saying in China that people who study art will not be able to do anything other than their own profession in the future. In fact, the saying abroad is exactly the opposite. They believe that people who study art can do anything in the future. For example, in addition to being singers, people who study vocal music can also be music teachers or people who popularize the arts. They can even study a major and not regard it as their career in the future, but regard it as a hobby. You can still do other work yourself. But here is one thing to emphasize: the child must be very fond of singing and learning vocal music. It is not worth it if the child only learns vocal music to go to college, because the fees of vocal tutors are the most expensive among art exams. .

3. Career Analysis

Teacher

I chose the profession of teacher because it happens to be in my SO area, which is where advantages and opportunities coexist. Because I have relatively excellent professional achievements, I can meet the basic requirements of a teacher very well. Due to professional reasons, my presentation ability is good. Even if I just entered the teaching profession, I will not be nervous or have stage fright in front of a class of students. Moreover, my language skills are also good, so I can convey information clearly and clearly. Convey it to others, and at the same time, my sense of humor can also make the classroom atmosphere more lively. My appearance is not very beautiful, but it will not leave a bad first impression on others. My personality is friendly and kind, and I treat people sincerely, so students and parents can communicate well with me and can also communicate well with me. It is easy for students to get along with me. I am also a very patient and responsible person. I will always hope to help and teach my students. My family is also very supportive of me becoming a teacher. It can be said that my family has a good impression of teachers. I have hoped to become a people's teacher since I was a child, and perform the wonderful and beautiful life on the glorious stage of the podium. movement.

Judging from my own conditions and family factors, I already have sufficient abilities and advantages. From the perspective of social and market factors, I also have many development opportunities. Today's China, as a superpower with a large population, the issue of student education has always been a key concern of the country. The reason is that there are too many students and too few teachers. What happens in many places is not that no one goes to school, but that there is no one to teach. China's renaissance has just begun, and it is when new generations of new generations are needed to work hard. Young students, who are the backbone of the country, are especially important. How to let them receive a good education and how to make them become high-quality comprehensive talents is related to the development future and direction of the motherland. As disseminators of human culture and knowledge, teachers have to play a very important role. Therefore, being a teacher, both public and private, is in line with the urgent needs of the current society. And not only course teachers, there are also relatively few professional teachers. Today's families mostly have only children. As parents, we should hope that our children will have the best life and the best abilities. Therefore, parents will hope that their children can have some specialties. Among all kinds of specialties, music is the easiest to get close to people's hearts, and it is also the first choice of most parents. From the analysis of the current situation where the number of students in various music classrooms is still booming, the number of music teachers still cannot meet the needs of students' learning.

Choosing the profession of teaching is the best choice for me after careful consideration. It is a development direction in which I can seize opportunities with my advantages. Therefore, in my future career planning, teaching will be my main goal.

Actor

The profession of actor is in my area. In this area, I have certain advantages, but there is a lot of competition and disadvantages, but there are also certain opportunities. Because of my professional career, I often perform on stage. Therefore, I have certain stage experience and performance ability. I am not nervous when facing the camera, and I can still perform my performances with emotion and devotion. My image condition is considered average, but there is a lot of room for transformation and shaping. These are some of my strengths. However, because many people today are eager to become famous overnight and want to take shortcuts to success, competition in the industry will be fierce.

And compared to people who graduated from acting, film and television majors, I still have many shortcomings in performance abilities and skills. Actors have relatively high requirements for their ability to withstand pressure and long working hours, which is also my weakness.

But we can see that there are still opportunities in the actor industry. Now we have entered the media and entertainment era, where movies, TV, the Internet and music have become an indispensable part of people's lives. Various types of movies and television require various types of actors, which brings various opportunities. The possibility of becoming an instant hit like Wang Baoqiang is gradually increasing. Judging from the current Chinese film market, although the consumer group is still small, the development potential is considerable. Compared with China's population, the Chinese film market is indeed underdeveloped. However, as a country with the largest population in the world, the expansion space of its film market is unlimited. It can be seen from the fact that films from Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, the United States and Europe are now trying to seize the Chinese market. China is now developing rapidly. People's material standards have risen, and their demands for entertainment life will also rise. Therefore, the expansion of China's film and television market will be inevitable. Nowadays, many places are promoting civilian idols, allowing everyone to show themselves, and giving everyone a chance to take the stage, which brings many opportunities.

In my area as an actor, if I want to develop, I need to try my best to improve my weaknesses and seize opportunities. In terms of future career choices, I will take the profession of actor as a reference target.
