1. Singing skills:

1. Every singer must fully understand and use the method of breath vocalization and breath control (i.e. diaphragm breathing method), because in the entire vocal music In the function series, singing breathing is the most important part and the foundation of the entire singing building. Therefore, the importance of breathing must be clearly understood and the basic skills of singing breathing must be practiced well.

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 It is caused by the larynx not being opened and unstable. The correct position of the larynx is the key to coordinating the movement of the respiratory organs and obtaining a stable and smooth sound effect.

3. It is necessary to properly use the singing voice to make the sound spread far, fill the theater, and be mellow, beautiful and melodious. This requires special training. For beginners, , 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.

4. Correct pronunciation should be combined with correct articulation 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.

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, and enrich the expression methods of songs. Enhance song singing ability.

6. During each practice, you must maintain the correct singing posture. Correct singing posture is the prerequisite for entering a good singing state.

7. Before practicing or 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.

8. From the beginning of voice practice, it must be combined with music. Even when practicing voice, you must have a good sense of music. 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, every singer is required to sing the intervals, scales, and vocal phrases in a pleasant and melodious way. From the above, we can understand that in the process of singing and making sounds, breathing, vocalization, articulation, and performance are indispensable. They are interconnected, mutually promoted, and complementary to each other. This is the meaning of "whole singing" we require. .

2. Steps of singing and vocal training:

The practice of basic singing and vocal skills can generally be divided into three stages according to the progression of the vocal range.

1. Based on the training of the middle vocal area, master the basic vocal methods, adjust and exercise muscles to meet the needs of singing technology. No matter which part you play, you should start training from the mid-range. After practicing the sounds in the middle vocal area, you can gradually expand the vocal range. You must know that vocal music learning must start from the basics. The middle vocal area is the basis for the development of singing voice. The foundation must be laid solidly. Remember the principle of "haste makes waste" reason.

2. On the basis of the middle voice area, appropriately expand the range, strengthen the training of breath and vocals, and practice the transitional area (that is, the training of changing voice areas) in order to enter the head voice. Lay a solid foundation for district training. The second stage of practice is a key step and takes a relatively long time, but you must have patience and confidence. Don’t rush to sing high notes. You must be calm and wait until this range is consolidated before entering high notes. Vocal area exercises.

3. The exercises in the high-pitched area can strengthen the volume and pitch training on the basis of consolidating the previous two stages, further expand the range, and do more complex vocal exercises to achieve the ideal level of various sounds. pitch range.

In this level of practice, special attention should be paid to the unity of the high, middle and low voice areas, and no cracks or lumps should occur in the transition of sounds. The focus is to strengthen the training of the head voice area and obtain the high-position head cavity sound, so as to Achieve the goal of unified vocal area. In this way, our singing instruments are basically manufactured, and we can sing generally difficult songs.

3. The onset of vocal practice in singing:

When you start vocal practice, you will inevitably encounter the problem of how to pronounce the first sound. We call it "the first sound" in singing. "Attack" or "Attack". The singing voice can be divided into exciting voice, soft voice and relaxed voice.

1. Excited sound:

After inhalation is completed, the chest remains still and the vocal cords are closed naturally first, and then the vocal cords are impacted with appropriate breath to make them vibrate and sound. , the sound produced in this way is strong and powerful. We often use it in vocal training such as pause and skipping exercises. We also use this method to correct the problem of vocal cord leakage. At this time, the corresponding breathing method is often rapid inhalation and rapid exhalation.

2. Soft attack:

Soft attack is when the vocal cords begin to close, the breath is also sent out at the same time, and the glottis is opened and the breath vibrates the vocal cords at the same time. The impact of the breath in this method is softer than the "stimulated sound", and the sound produced is smoother and more relaxed. In our vocal training, we often use it to practice legato and long sounds. At the same time, we also use the "soft onset" pronunciation method to correct laryngeal problems. Correspondingly, the breathing method often adopts slow breathing. Inhale and exhale slowly.

3. Shuqi sound:

The Shuqi sound means that the glottis opens first, and then the breath vibrates the vocal cords. It is characterized by breathing out first and then making a sound, like a sigh. This sounding method is often used in labor chants. In vocal training, this method can be used to correct the problem of too stiff voice. It is often used in popular singing and is more colloquial. In short, the attack of singing must first be energetic and coordinated throughout the body. Determine the attack method according to different types of vocal training examples. Pay attention to the volume of the attack not being too strong. A comfortable mf or mp volume is appropriate.
