Guo Degang’s Pingju style Chinese operas also pay attention to singing high notes, such as "Calling Xiao Fan" in the Peking Opera "Silang Visits His Mother", which is a touchstone to test the voice conditions of male actors. Crosstalk actor Guo Degang, who is known for his high notes, especially likes to sing high notes in operas, and often puts words like "ga tune" and "high accent" on his lips. So, how high can he sing? Now let’s do a little experiment. Use musical instruments and music software to measure several high-pitched programs that Guo Degang often performs: the ditty "The Truth", the tune is different every time depending on the state. Generally, the highest note is C# or D; The highest note of "Selling Medicine Candy" on the street is in C; the highest note of "Liu Ling's Drunkenness" in Pingju Opera is in F; the highest note of "Fan" in Peking Opera's "Silang Visits His Mother - Called Xiaofan" is in F; Hebei Bangzi's "Silang Visits His Mother" -The highest note "Fan" in "called Xiao Fan" is in G; most of them are real sounds, which have exceeded High C, but the sound of Hebei Bangzi is different from others. There are elements of falsetto, but it is not completely false. Voice. The above are all Guo Degang's impromptu singing. It does not mean that he sings this high every time, nor does it mean that one section must be higher than the others. It just means that there is a kind of existence. Strictly speaking, the Taiping lyrics "White Snake" and "Shandong Erhuang" he often sings are not high-pitched songs, so they are not included in the measurement range. So you asked, I don’t understand the music theory you’re talking about at all! What is HighC? HighC is just a pitch standard in vocal music. HighC in vocal music is equivalent to the piano...or the tenth key from the right...Many people may still not understand it. Maybe this picture is a bit more visual. In fact, it is generally very good for a male voice to sing the highest note A, but many people's voices are not stable even if they reach A. Generally speaking, there is a certain gap between the highest notes of widely sung pop songs and HighC. Let’s make another figurative reference: Ignoring those singers who are extremely skilled in using semi-falsetto technique, we select a few real voices with outstanding high notes, or pop singers who are good at high notes to compare the pitch of Lao Guo’s real voices. Compared with the real voices of rare super high-pitched pop singers like Zhang Yusheng, Guo Degang may still have a certain gap, but it is enough to be higher than the real voices of the lead singers of Xin Band, Ashin and Zhao Chuan. As for Lin JJ, Zhou Chuanxiong and the like, they are far beyond them. . Moreover, Guo Degang's high notes are genuine, and all the performances come from the scene, without any suspicion of production effects. This is just a vivid metaphor and the comparison is inappropriate. I have talked about Lao Guo's voice with some popular singers, and everyone has always said that it is "a dramatic voice" and cannot be discussed with the singer. In terms of vocal music, tenors are divided into lyric tenors, dramatic tenors, coloratura tenors, etc. However, in many traditional art forms in our country, due to historical and cultural accumulation and national appreciation habits, there are too many tenors. Someone has counted that there are too many high-pitched and bright male voices such as Chuanjiang Haozi, Shaanbei Xintianyou, Errenzhuan, Qinqiang Opera, and Hebei Bangzi. In Western opera, the tenor is regarded as a high-pitched singer, but here he sings effortlessly. There are many folk singers who can sing a few semitones higher than highc, or even higher. Therefore, it is not surprising that some well-qualified duet actors can sing "Love Even If You Die" with ease. Regardless of the treble standard of music and Guo Degang's experience in singing, it is indeed rare for a crosstalk actor to have such a good voice. No wonder he can win applause from the audience with just one mouthful of singing.
