How to experience the breath and stabilize the breath? (vocal music)

One breath\x0d\\x0d\If you want to sing high notes easily, brightly and cleanly, breath support is of course the basis. The key is the position of the breath. The higher the note, the lower the position of the breath. Around the waist is best. Many people always have a common problem when singing high notes. The breath rises to the chest, so the breath becomes tight. They unconsciously stretch their chin, so the breath is not smooth. After singing, the throat will inevitably become inflamed. Therefore, keeping your breath down and keeping your chin down are the basic requirements for singing high notes. The sound quality depends on one's own physiological conditions, understanding of music and the use of correct methods. \x0d\ Ertongue level\x0d\\x0d\ The oral cavity is the last level for breath to flow out of the human body. If the tongue is curled or retracted, it will naturally block the passage of breath. Not only will the high notes not be able to go up, but the confrontation between the breath and the tongue will also cause You feel more and more tired as you sing. It is best to have a flat tongue with the tip of the tongue lightly touching the lower teeth. If you have developed this bad habit (this was my biggest problem at the beginning), I would like to introduce a method. Hold a candy in your mouth while practicing your voice. Your tongue will naturally not dare to roll or move, and it will be in a more natural state. , once you get used to it and no longer need the help of sugar, you will obviously feel more relaxed. But this process is very painful, so you have to persevere. \x0d\Three Waist Strength\x0d\ Anyone who has studied vocal music knows that the correct way to sing is not to sing with your mouth, but to breathe. The so-called breath, to put it simply, is waist strength. Some people have good physiological conditions and their high notes are bright and full, but many people have such a problem. Why do they always feel that their notes are unstable and wobbly when singing high notes, and they always don't listen to the command. Just like an object can be placed stably in one place, it must be because it has a fulcrum. And our waist strength is the fulcrum of singing. When a person yawns, that is when he is in the best condition for singing. Not only does his throat completely relax, but there is also a force moving around the waist. Those who are interested can learn more about it. Of course, insisting on practicing sit-ups is a direct way to exercise waist strength. \x0d\\x0d\Four-digit vocalization\x0d\\x0d\A good vocalization requires not only the original sound of the oral cavity, but also the vocalization of the cranial cavity and chest. Overtones are produced in the cranial cavity, making the timbre full, while the ringing in the chest cavity makes the timbre rich. High-pitched sounds are mostly used for cranial cavities, while mid-range and low-pitched sounds require good chest crows. Most people think that the most difficult part of singing is high notes, but this is not the case. \x0d\ "As low as you can go, you can go as high as you can." Just like pulling a slingshot, as far as you can pull back, you can have as much explosive high-pitched power as you can. When these three cavities can cooperate with each other, it will be like a fish in water, and the sound of nature will be heard. \x0d\五情\x0d\Some people may find it strange, how can there be feelings in pronunciation skills? If you do not have your own understanding and emotional investment in the interpretation of all works, no matter how high your skills are, it will be in vain. Because singing originally originated from people's expression and release of their own emotions. It can be seen from the current international music scene that the most famous ones are not the ones with the best voices and the highest skills, but the singers who can sing with emotion and heart. Of course, this is also the fatal weakness in our singing. If a person has no emotion, how can he interpret the true meaning of the work? \x0d\If you want to sing well, you must first love singing. \x0d\Breathing condition and breathing problems during singing\x0d\\x0d\

Singing friends have had this experience: they often feel short of breath and not enough air during singing. The more they sing, the more they feel suffocated. Hard work. This is related to the inability to use the breath and maintain the breath. Although the inhalation is very deep, when singing a song, the breath quickly rises to the surface or runs out quickly. So, after the inhalation action is completed, how should we maintain and use the breath we inhaled? (1) When singing, you should maintain the state of inhalation. After inhaling, there is a momentary pause. This is a natural short pause after inhaling and before exhaling. This pause creates a confrontation between the two forces of inhalation and exhalation. Try to take advantage of this resistance when using gas. It not only maintains the depth of the breath, but also makes the breath even, smooth and lasting when singing. If you realize it carefully, this kind of confrontation is actually a state of inhalation and holding. Singing with inhaled breath is just a feeling. In fact, no one can breathe in while singing, but using this feeling can achieve the purpose of maintaining breath. This state can ensure the balance of sound position and breath, and can also keep the breath at a certain depth and unobstructed. During the singing process, the less breath is used, the more necessary it is to maintain this inhalation state. The respiratory muscle group (that is, the general name of the respiratory muscles of the chest, abdomen, and diaphragm) is a cyclic process of contraction and relaxation. When the expiratory muscle group relaxes, the inspiratory muscle group contracts and inhales air. After taking a breath, the inspiratory muscle group relaxes and the expiratory muscle group begins to contract and exhale the breath. When singing, the inhaled air cannot be exhaled quickly, which requires the inspiratory muscles to not only not relax, but also to continue to contract. The maintenance of this contraction of the inspiratory muscle group requires conscious control. When we hold an inhale while singing, we are exercising conscious control of our respiratory muscle groups. The part that controls breathing is called the "fulcrum of breathing." Opera calls it "Dan Tian Qi".

Practice singing while maintaining an inhaled state: First do silent exercises. After inhaling, gently touch the tip of your tongue to the lower front teeth to make a "swift" sound. The longer you breathe, the better. It is required that the breath you exhale should be even. , steady and slow, so that the intensity of the "Sisi" sound is the same, not suddenly strong or weak. The slower and longer the exhalation is, the more you can appreciate the confrontation between exhalation and inhalation, and the power of conscious control of the breath. Traditional vocal music has a method of practicing Qi by blowing out candles. Place a lighted candle in front of you and do not blow the candle out when you blow it out. It is required to slowly blow the candle flame in one direction, and the flame should be steady and the swing range should not be large. After practicing, if you feel soreness in your lower back and abdomen, it means you have found the correct feeling of resistance or control when exhaling. Combined with some song exercises, such as "The Sun That Never Sets on the Grassland", "The Water Doesn't Say My Hometown Is Good", "The Water of Honghu Lake, the Waves Beat the Waves", and "Azalea". (2) Maintaining a sighing state while singing. Insufficient breath and holding your breath that often occur during singing are not only related to the inability to maintain the inhalation state, but also related to the lack of relaxation of the breath. The breath needs to be controlled during singing to keep the breath smooth and lasting. However, if the breath is controlled excessively, it will cause stiffness and inflexibility of the respiratory organs and respiratory muscles. As a result, the breath cannot be smooth and difficult to last. How can we maintain the breath we inhale without getting stiff? The best thing to do is relax and sigh. The relaxation mentioned here refers to excessive stalemate. Sighing means using the feeling of sighing instead of exhaling all the air in the body. Sighing is a habitual action in our lives. Everyone can do it, and it is easier to find a feeling of relaxation. While maintaining a positive and exciting breath, don't neglect to use the feeling of sighing to sing. In this way, the breath will not only have depth, but also be natural, relaxed and smooth. When singing in a sighing state, be careful not to let your voice break away from your breathing, otherwise your breath will be out of sync and it will be difficult to maintain your breath. In other words, the sighing state during singing and the inhaling state exist at the same time, and neither one is missing. They allow the exhalation of breath to be maintained but not stiff, and to relax but not completely relax the breathing muscles. This exhalation method is also called "kneading". It means: the breath inhaled into the chest is "kneaded" outward slowly and tenaciously by the muscles of the waist and abdomen, just like kneading dough. When singing while sighing, if you feel that your waist and abdomen are distended but not stiff, your chest is expanded but not held back, and your breath flows out in a controlled manner, then your feeling is basically right. Continue to solidify this feeling. Combined with some song exercises, such as "Ode to Red Plum Blossoms", "The Great Wall", "On the Field of Hope", etc.\x0d\\x0d\Techniques for using breath in vocal music\x0d\\x0d\First, remove the breath from your lungs Exhale them all, and exhale cleanly;\x0d\\x0d\Then, while holding your breath, press your hands on your lower abdomen, which is often called Shantian, and use force to make Dantian bulge. Your hands should react on Shantian, and you should use force. , when you pump up, you should gradually exert force, don't puff up all at once\x0d\\x0d\From the beginning to the maximum force, it takes about five seconds, and then when it reaches the strongest point, it lasts for five seconds\x0d\\x0d \Finally, relax gradually, but don't relax all at once. The entire process lasts about five seconds, and be careful not to breathe. \x0d\\x0d\This is a cycle, practice like this for two hours every day, and your singing skills will definitely be very strong in half a year, but don’t stop in the middle, especially during the seven days of the first week, you must persist and practice yourself lung capacity, swim more, run more! Watch more music videos, look at the mouth patterns of other singers when they sing, and imitate them! Sing more and practice more\x0d\\x0d\It is best to find a professional teacher for guidance so that you will not go astray or damage your vocal cords. Be careful not to use your vocal cords too much when singing, but let your voice Pass far and steadily, and be careful to use your breath, otherwise your vocal cords will become cocooned. \x0d\\x0d\It is taboo to shout loudly. In fact, we all have to avoid: 1. Shouting loudly; 2. After getting enough sleep, we are not allowed to use our voice for more than two hours a day [total volume of voice]. Long-term excessive use of voice will inevitably lead to vocal cord disease [bad throat]! \x0d\\x0d\Develop the habit of speaking with Dantian Qi. In terms of thoughts, don't speak with your voice, speak with your lower abdomen [the point two inches below the navel]. Practice more sit-ups to strengthen the Dantian (women generally have weak lower abdominal strength). The oral cavity should be opened [the distance between the upper and lower teeth], and the entire oral cavity should form a trend of: tightening in the front [opening, aligning, closing, and pinching] and loosening [opening the back molars]. \x0d\\x0d\Persist in scientific training for a long time. Training of emotions, Qi, and sounds: Qing---verbal expression training of the seven emotions: happiness, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and surprise; Qi--master the combined breathing method of the chest and abdomen; Voice--- Vocal flexibility training. \x0d\\x0d\1) Every singer must fully understand and use the methods of breath vocalization and breath control (i.e. diaphragm breathing method), because singing breathing is the most important part of the entire vocal function series. It is the foundation of the entire singing architecture, so we must understand the importance of breathing and pay attention to practicing the basic skills of breathing in singing. \x0d\\x0d\2) Opening the throat and stabilizing the larynx are the core of basic singing skills training. This is one of the keys to the smooth development of a singer's vocal skills. Many singers' voice problems are mostly due to larynx problems during singing. It is caused by not opening and instability, and the correct position of the larynx is the key to coordinating the movement of the respiratory organs and obtaining stable and smooth sound effects.

\x0d\\x0d\3) To make proper use of singing vocals, to make the sound spread far, fill the theater, and be mellow, beautiful and melodious, this requires special training. For beginners, It is a more difficult subject to master. Since singing training is often inseparable from other basic vocal requirements, the singer is required to use vowel conversion, stabilize the larynx, open the mouth, adjust the breath, etc., to vibrate the sound in the head cavity at a high position above the nasopharyngeal cavity* ** sound point to increase the volume, expand the range, beautify the timbre, unify the sound areas, and make the sounds in the high, middle and low sound areas coordinated, seamless, and move freely and flexibly. \x0d\\x0d\4) Correct pronunciation should be combined with correct pronunciation and enunciation. Through the practice of combining words and sounds, the flexible movement ability of lips, teeth and tongue can be improved, so that they can more perfectly and vividly express the songs, emotions and content. \x0d\\x0d\5) When singing, you should also pay attention to the training of pitch and rhythm. Through vocal exercises, you can gradually master comprehensive singing and vocal skills such as continuous, pause, strong and weak, enrich the expression methods of songs, and enhance Song singing ability. \x0d\\x0d\6) During every practice, you must maintain the correct singing posture. Correct singing posture is the prerequisite for entering a good singing state. \x0d\\x0d\7) Before practicing and singing, you must get rid of all distracting thoughts, stabilize your emotions, have a very good psychological state, have a good desire to sing, and enter the singing state with confidence and relaxation. Otherwise, you won’t be able to sing well. \x0d\\x0d\8) From the beginning of voice practice, it must be combined with music, and you must have a good sense of music even when practicing voice. On the one hand, intervals and scales are technical exercises in terms of muscles, pitch, breath, and sound. At the same time, they are also components of music. They must be given the vitality and life of music. Therefore, at the beginning of voice training, each singer is required to sing the intervals, scales, and vocal phrases in a pleasant and melodious way. From the above, we can realize that in the process of singing and making sounds, breathing, vocalization, articulation, and performance are indispensable. They are interconnected, mutually promoting, and complementary to each other. This is the meaning of "whole singing" we require. .
