Principles of singing and making sounds

1. Principles of sound production

The most important human vocal organ is the vocal cords, which are two ribbon-like muscles located in the middle of the throat. . When there is no sound, the two vocal cords are in a static state, and when the sound is made, the breath in the respiratory tract passes through. The two vocal cords are vibrating at a distance, just like air trying to escape from a balloon with its port pinched. When gas passes through, the vocal cords vibrate and produce sound. Generally speaking, the faster the vibration frequency, the higher the sound, and the slower the vibration frequency, the lower the sound. Precisely because the length, thickness, and narrowness of each person's vocal cords are different, the sounds, timbres, and ranges produced are also different. So there are male and female sopranos, male and female altos, and male and female basses

The vocalizations when singing and the vocalizations when speaking are not exactly the same. The vocalizations when singing are equated with the vocalizations when speaking. Inaccurate, singing this way will make the music colorless and does not meet the sound requirements of the music. Therefore, my speaking voice cannot meet the needs of singing. We must pay attention to the method of voice production in order to hone ordinary vocal cords into a beautiful, lasting, scientific method, and artistically appealing voice.

Real vocal cords are very small. They are about the size of a coin when stretched open. Our vocalizations all depend on them, so the vocal cords are also very fragile. Human physiological structural characteristics determine that singers must treat their vocal cords well and maintain them in a timely manner. If you desire to maintain a stable and excellent state for a long time on the road of singing, you can only achieve this through scientific singing methods and systematic training of your vocal cords. .
