Learn to sing from scratch, what you must know from beginner to proficient
There is no shortcut to learning to sing, and singers all go through it step by step. Today we will talk about where a beginner who has never learned to sing should start. The following are the 12 steps a singing beginner must go through from entry to mastery.
1. If you want to sing popular music well, the singer must first have a good voice and emotion
Voice: refers to the skills of vocalization (that is, using those movements to sing)
Emotion: an emotion or an atmosphere to be expressed during singing (generally regarded as whether it is devotion and whether it has the temperament of the singer
2. It is divided into voice, Let’s discuss the singing rules of popular music from two aspects: sound and emotion.
We will discuss the singing rules of popular music from two aspects: sound and emotion!
Of course, in terms of literal expression and emotion In the process of movement training, the voice is the main focus and the emotion is supplemented, but I hope that everyone will use the opposite method in the process of performance.
Improvement of vocal skills is mainly divided into four major tasks: breath, vocalization,
Qing: At the beginning, the main thing is to be able to hear the "quality", "qi", "words" and "music" of a good voice (in performing arts, appreciation. In the process of singing, you must learn to change from sensibility to rationality and back to sensibility)
3. What is breath?
Since we talk about the four lessons, let’s explain them one by one. :
First of all, what is breath?
You must use breath when singing. The breath in popular music consists of two actions: one exhaling and one inhaling alternately (never. The third action occurs, such as pause, re-breathing, re-exhaling, stealing air, leaking air, etc.)
In terms of exhaling and inhaling, singing is the art of exhalation, so don’t put the cart before the horse (now on the market. Most Qi training methods place too much emphasis on inhalation, which will greatly weaken the singer's performance and communication skills
Practice essentials: to use Qi, you must exhale and inhale alternately, working steadily, Consistent movements of breath and mouth.
4. Breathing movements
Breathing movements. Let’s introduce thoracoabdominal breathing. First, let’s recognize the upper abdomen and lower abdomen in breathing movements.
Lower abdomen: Dantian (lower three fingers), abdominal groove (the semicircular area formed by the bottom and edge of the lower abdomen), a circle formed by the sides of the body above the hip bones, below the waist, and the same position on the back .
Upper abdomen: the diaphragm and its surrounding circle, including the upper abdomen, stomach, lower lung lobes, two ribs on the chest and two ribs on the back. 5. What is vocalization? ?
Next, let’s talk about vocalization.
Vocalization is a human instinct, but speaking and singing are all acquired.
6. Why use bubble sounds
Why use bubble sounds: Bubble sounds are the best starting point for the active state of the vocal cords (just like the departure of an airplane)
7. Summary
After practicing the first few lectures, if you know the movements well, the next key is to separate the four major work areas
Breathing movements, vocal movements, and word articulation movements have all been mentioned, and the rest is "transfer"
8. Articulation movements
Articulation [Practice in front of the mirror] In fact, it is best to look in the mirror when practicing the lessons taught before
Nine , Big in the front and small in the back
The bite movement mentioned in the lecture mainly increases the space in the front of the mouth. Many friends blindly pursue opening their mouths when singing, which leads to the blind expansion of the back end of the mouth. , the entire mouth becomes barrel-shaped, or even funnel-shaped, which is not consistent with the physics of sound transmission, but also violates the friendly characteristics of popular music
10. Upper mouth cover
Upper mouth Licking your upper front teeth with your tongue and the tip of your tongue, move inward along the center line, and you will hit the root of the tooth and a protruding muscle in turn [the location of the particle and word point, detailed explanation below 1. The concave part is the hard part, The soft part that reaches the tonsils is the soft part. In singing, we call it the upper lip.
11. The unity of contradictions
The first 10 lectures have basically discussed the four parts of singing. In other words, if you are singing, you can make these four parts work at the same time. Work on it and make it a habit, and congratulations, you're actually singing.
12. How to solve the confusion of bubble sounds
Everyone has practiced bubble sounds and the effect should be obvious when singing. But some people will ask: How to sing normally if there are changes during practice? Is it still the same as before?
Answer: Do you still practice singing separately from your usual singing? This is obviously a misunderstanding. After learning and practicing, the most important thing is to use it!!!!
