T1, linearized Chinese pronunciation, perfect voice, unstable treble throat position, absolute pitch, stuck at voice change point, fully open cavity, extreme weak mixing.
In terms of singing voice, Wang Leehom perfectly localized the linear hearing of English into Chinese. At the same time, it is extremely difficult to solve the problem of Chinese tones and rhymes through R&B transliteration. It has a great influence on Chinese music.
Leehom Wang’s overall singing skills are very strong, and he is in the upper reaches of T1. With a doctorate from the Berklee College of Music, he uses all the vocal chambers in the cavity to open up. Due to the strong R&B color, Wang Leehom's vocal display has almost become an industry benchmark. Her voice is perfect from the moment she opens her mouth.
But this does not mean that Leehom Wang does not have singing problems. The G4 treble at the voice change point is a relatively typical high throat position for Wang Leehom. Except for the high throat position at the voice change point, Wang Leehom is almost perfect. . In addition, when it comes to the mixing expression of treble above A4, Wang Leehom is more suitable for weak mixing.
Wang Leehom, who has attended European and American music conservatories for further study, like Zhou Shen and JJ Lin, has a very perfect vocal system.
Take Zhou Shen as an example. When Zhou Shen participated in "The Voice of China", he had very obvious problems with his throat position, vocalization, and breath. But since Zhou Shen went to Ukraine's Liwok Conservatory of Music to study scientific bel canto and graduated, Zhou Shen's singing skills instantly reached the level of Chinese T1.
European and American music academies have unparalleled authority on the scientific singing method of the human voice. They have summarized a set of perfect singing methods that do not hurt the voice. Among them, pop singing needs to learn from Bel Canto’s throat position confrontation. This is perfectly demonstrated by Zhou Shen, who studied in 2016.
However, Leehom Wang’s performance is not very good. It can only be said that Wang Leehom’s throat position is good. In the high range, there are still some dangerous high-throat singing performances in live performances. My personal guess is that it is because Leehom Wang graduated from Berwick in the 1990s. Now, after twenty years of development, the vocal music teaching materials and teaching system have also undergone major changes.
The following is a brief introduction to Leehom Wang’s singing ability through timbre, pitch, range, and cavity tone: Timbre and pitch:
Leehom Wang’s timbre: exceptionally bright, perfect tenor timbre, Thanks to the perfect scientific pronunciation point, the perfect sense of space.
In the bass area, it has a perfect resonance friction texture, which is suitable for melancholic love songs. In the mid-range, Wang Leehom's own R&B-tinged singing style makes the tone in the mid-range almost fully malleable. The plasticity is slightly weak in the treble range. Above A4, Wang Leehom rarely mixes the words with strong accents, and mostly uses weak blends.
This kind of weak mix still retains the perfect rhythm of R&B in terms of hearing, but it lacks the high emotion of the strong mix. The lack of strong mixing makes Wang Leehom's timbre expression in the high range somewhat deficient, which is a small regret.
In terms of pitch, Wang Leehom is in absolute pitch. If it's a live scene and his voice is not in good condition, Leehom Wang can improvise. Follow the principles of harmony and improvise with perfect pitch changes.
Whether it is in terms of timbre or pitch, Leehom Wang is a benchmark in the Chinese language.
In these two points, he far surpasses Jay Chou, who has a poor voice. Of course, Jay Chou also has absolute pitch, but sometimes he can't sing accurately. Vocal range: Eb2-C#6;
Among Leehom Wang’s live performances, the highest pitch ever appeared was the head voice of C#6, which is a single-note scream. The lowest bass is Eb2.
However, neither of the above two sounds has high-quality hearing.
Personally, I feel that Leehom Wang’s vocal range is between A2-C#5; starting from A2, the bass gradually loses its tension and becomes skillfully controlled. The highest note, C#5, is a high-quality weak mix.
At the Eb2-A2 stage, Leehom Wang is at a theoretical sound level that lowers the throat position. It doesn’t have a singing aesthetic, because the throat and chest sounds are a bit forced, and it also conflicts with Leehom Wang’s R&B vocal singing style, which is rarely heard in his songs.
At the C#5-C6 stage, this is actually a fault state. Only C5, D5, E5, and C6 can be checked, and other pitches cannot be checked. At the same time, these sounds all have one thing in common. In weak mixing and strong mixing, only one D5 appears, and the frequency is very small.
Briefly introduce some mixing concepts:
Normal people’s voices have two timbres, one is the real voice and the other is the falsetto.
When singing in the high range across the voice change point, it must be a mixture of two sounds to produce music with auditory aesthetics.
Then the mixture of real voice and falsetto is called a mix. Mixing is divided into weak mixing and strong mixing.
Weak mix: mostly falsetto, interspersed with real voice. It's what we usually call falsetto.
Strong mix: mostly real voices, with falsetto accents. This is more difficult and requires vocal cord compression technology and laryngeal position confrontation to be able to produce it.
Leehom Wang is at the level where he can perfectly control weak mixing, but he has not yet reached the level of strong mixing.
In theory, Leehom Wang should be able to master vocal cord compression and laryngeal position confrontation techniques, but his singing habit may have been finalized, and Leehom Wang is now involved in film and television careers such as acting. He is not as focused on singing as JJ Lin. Resulting in some lack of updates.
Leehom Wang’s real voice range: A2-A4;
Leehom Wang’s weak mixed voice range: A4-C#5;
Leehom Wang’s personal best voice is at F4 -The real sound of A4, at this stage, the sense of sound and space are explosive. That kind of rhythm can be said to be the representative of Chinese R&B. The highest pitch of the real voice could reach B4 in the early days, but now it has partially declined.
The performance from A4 to C#5 is much weaker, because it is a weak mix after all. The weak mixed voice is like a needle. Even if the abdominal cavity is full of ringing, it does not have the emotional nature of the real voice.
Generally speaking, Leehom Wang's vocal range is already very good. The two and a half vocal ranges include the two golden vocal ranges of C3-C5. For a tenor, he already has high-quality singing ability. Cavity sound: fully open; artistic linear Chinese hearing.
Upper cavities: nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, frontal sinus, sphenoid sinus;
Lower cavities: abdominal cavity. Chest, throat, mouth;
Leehom Wang is in a perfect state in terms of cavity sound. This is the result of advanced studies in European and American music academies that master advanced pop vocal technology.
1: Abdominal cavity;
Wang Leehom’s abdominal cavity support is in a very balanced state for pop singing. Being in a muscle memory sense of control. It is different from JJ Lin’s strong voice pressure and Eason Chan’s abdominal hugging feeling. Leehom Wang's abdominal cavity is more of a wedding dress for melody: volatility.
Why does Wang Leehom make people feel rhythmic as soon as he opens his mouth? This feeling is no longer just a matter of pitch. It's the subtle fluctuations of the connection between the sounds. To put it simply:
Leehom Wang’s abdominal breathing pattern is as follows: the breath increases when articulating words, decreases when pharynxing sounds, and focuses on the sound line hearing.
Articulation will inevitably cause interruption of breath, resulting in auditory incoherence. But Leehom Wang follows the linear listening style of English singing. Put this in Chinese by way of abdominal fluctuations. At the same time, when using the Chinese rhyme to pronounce words, select the main R&B style to transliterate the Chinese tones.
In this way, Chinese articulation does not belong to linear music, but in Leehom Wang's case, through the method of weak articulation and strong breath, he has completely changed the hearing of Chinese articulation.
From "The Voice of God", you can get it from Wang Leehom's clear rap with perfect speaking speed. Leehom Wang's Rap is the Chinese ceiling, and he has a better sense of hearing based on Jay Chou.
2: Chest, throat, mouth. Nasal cavity:
A good singer should not focus on these four cavities. For example, Leehom Wang. When singing, there are only two places to pay attention to: the abdominal cavity and the maxillary sinus. The abdominal diaphragm pushes the breath through these four cavities and directly hits the hard wall of the maxillary sinus behind the posterior nasal cavity. The impact forms a superposition of sound waves, resulting in tinnitus. Amplify the vibrations of the vocal cords in the throat. form music.
3: Maxillary sinus;
Leehom Wang’s maxillary sinus should be the most standard among all Chinese singers. Even JJ Lin doesn’t have Wang Leehom’s standards.
Leehom Wang controlled all changes in timbre and texture based on the ringing of the maxillary sinus. At the same time, the ringing of the maxillary sinus greatly slowed down the wear and tear of Wang Leehom's vocal cords. It stands to reason that Wang Leehom's high throat still exists, and his throat collapse should be more serious, but now, you will find a very scary thing.
Leehom Wang’s voice does not have a change in timbre, but the real voice pitch drops by one degree and the thickness of the voice decreases. Overall, Leehom Wang's performances are getting stronger and stronger, and his voice is still perfect.
Leehom Wang’s contribution to the Chinese music scene is second only to Jay Chou, and even greater than JJ Lin in terms of composition style. In terms of Chinese R&B and Rap singing, he has single-handedly promoted the linear listening of Chinese internationalization and made great contributions.
Nowadays, with the improvement of the national auditory aesthetics, more and more music lovers have linear singing, and Wang Leehom has made great contributions.
Leehom Wang has outstanding musical talent and first-class singing skills. But I admire Luo Dayou, Jay Chou, JJ Lin and other musicians even more. Being able to sing well is one aspect. I can write popular classic lyrics and compose stunning music. That’s the way for musicians. Otherwise, there would be many folk singers. If given the chance, he might also become an excellent singer. But there are very few musicians who are remembered by the times.
The Chinese music scene, Chinese football, and Chinese movies are all the same thing.
The reason is that a bunch of brainless people are spending money to promote the media, and they think they have something to pursue. *+# is 20 years behind Europe and the United States, please fill in the blanks yourself. If you can’t fill in the blanks, you’re not Chinese. Don’t blast the Internet every day saying that this person is not Chinese and that person is not Chinese. First look in the mirror and see if it counts.
Times have changed. Are CPUs from 30 years ago the same level as today? Tell me how many orders of magnitude the difference is? I am born of you, but stronger than you. Created by the times. If Chinese weapons were still showing off with weapons made 30 years ago, I guess the name of this land would have changed its nationality long ago. Please please look forward. Don’t forget that there is a 20-year difference between xxx and Europe and the United States, and some of it was filled in by you. Music, movies, football, military, education. What about others?

It's not that he has become outdated, it's that the Chinese music scene has fallen behind, and in fact, it has been slower than Leehom in the past 20 years. Is Leehom outdated? Please listen to the revolution and rotation of 1998 and see if you understand it.
After I finished class, I put on my headphones as usual and started listening to a song called The Starting Point of Adventure. I discovered that this is the new song that I never tire of listening to. People who truly love music want to understand and discover the new world of music, rather than waiting for music to actively please you, because you should respect music and not stand still with your little understanding of music. What Leehom brings to us is not a song or a musical work, but a country of music. You want to know how big this country is, but Leehom himself doesn’t even know. An unknown musical world. This is why I liked listening to him in the first place, and now, 15 years later, this feeling still exists. That's where it's irreplaceable. If you listen to his albums over the years, this answer will naturally surface. What never changes is constant change.
Leehom’s voice is loud and magnetic, so his works are more dynamic, three-dimensional and grand. That’s why I can control so many songs with completely different styles. Leehom's singing style has undergone several changes. Professionally trained by international masters. Where does the embarrassment come from? The embarrassing comment from a domestic expert caught most people's expectations. Otherwise, why would it be used for hype? Isn’t it because it is beyond most people’s expectations?
In addition, Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, and JJ Lin are all popular musicians. Singing is just one aspect. Compared with ordinary people who can sing all over the street, music creation is the more core talent. They are the pioneers of new music with positive energy. who. The public should not just look at singing skills.
