In the pop music world, foreign and European and American pop music mostly dominates the rankings, and these music often have the characteristics of popularity, fashion, novelty, entertainment, etc. Popular music and other mass media The difference is mainly due to the characteristics of pop music.
When practicing pop music, you must open your throat. If you want to fully open your throat, you must first figure out where to use force and how it feels. If the throat can be fully opened when singing, the singer's own feeling should be that the throat is expanding outward and has the power to push the Adam's apple downward.
Mr. Becky said: To open the throat correctly is to feel the neck expanding around. ?It is correct to feel the muscles on both sides of the throat become sore to push the Adam's apple downward. ?In order to illustrate this problem, Mr. Becky often made such a gesture in class, that is, pushing his two hands outward from his shoulders as if pushing away two walls, to illustrate the direction and feeling of this force. ?
In order to find the feeling of opening the throat and the place to exert force, Mr. Becky used many specific methods in his lectures. These methods are relatively easy to understand and are effective. Singers can choose one or more of them during practice and use a variety of methods to experience it.
1. Yawning is the easiest way to experience opening your throat. There is a way to open your throat. When you are sleepy and yawn while talking, your throat will open. Be careful not to yawn too far, which can cause the sound to sound too far back. ?
2. Finding the fulcrum of the chest will help open the throat. When singing, the sound comes from the place where you cough. The sound comes from between the two collarbones. The sound should be deep. The sound comes from the bottom of the throat.
3. Imitating the singing of someone with a wide voice can help open your throat. When singing, imitate someone with a wide voice. Don’t imitate that person’s timbre, but mainly imitate his technique. As a technique, it has the same requirements for any part. ?
4. Singing without opening your mouth can force your throat to open.
5. Laughing and crying can also help open your throat.
6. You can often find the feeling of opening your throat by tilting your head back.
What I have introduced above are some throat-opening methods that Mr. Becky often uses in his lectures. Singers can use them selectively and flexibly according to their own problems. In addition, I personally have this experience: when the throat is fully opened, when singing, you will feel a force pushing your head forward and upward, which is a feeling of being blocked in the neck to some extent. The famous American baritone singer Sheryl Milnes, when talking about correcting the unnatural position of the head and chin of some singers during singing, advocated interlacing the fingers of both hands and placing them on the back and top of the head, while singing. Then gently move the head forward with force, and then gently tilt the head back. At this time, the head and chin are in the state of singing. ?
There is another feeling that I think is very important, that is, when the throat is fully opened, the singer will feel that the throat no longer exists when singing, only the support of the breath and the loud mask** *Ming is something that the singer can clearly feel. In Becky's words, only the diaphragm and the mask come into contact when singing. That is to say, the fully opened throat seems to be an unobstructed channel, and the sound is not blocked here, but is sent into the upper mask. Although this is a feeling and imagination, it also seems to be an objective fact. This feeling is recognized and emphasized by many famous singers in the world, so singers must work hard to seek this feeling. Only in this way can the throat be fully opened.
