Singing skills and vocal methods in vocal music

Singing skills and vocal methods in vocal music

The vocalization when singing is not exactly the same as that when speaking. It is wrong to sing in a dialogue way or in an enlarged way. It will be colorless and musical. Therefore, the pronunciation can not meet the needs of singing. We must pay attention to singing skills and vocal methods, and help people who learn to sing to grind ordinary vocal cords into beautiful, pleasant, lasting, scientific and artistic sounds.

Singing skills

1, singing posture is very important. Stand up straight and stand evenly with the support of your legs. The position of the head is more important than that of the body. Some people raise their heads when singing high notes, as if to save energy when singing, but they are not. Hold your head up. The pitch is tense. The throat will be tight but not loose. The correct way is to keep your head a little lower, but not too low. There are many * * * sounds in the head, and the sound is loud when the * * * sounds are produced in the head. The movement of the head should be opposite to the melody. The higher the head, the lower the head, and the sound seems to go down to the chest.

2. When singing, try to avoid using muscles unrelated to singing. When controlling the diaphragm to breathe, try not to involve other muscles, and don't move things as hard as you do, which will close all the cavities and turn off the sound. Don't be nervous when singing, sing naturally, relax your shoulders, don't make small moves, and only use the diaphragm when singing.

3. Throat-opening dragon. It's easy to open your voice. When you are sleepy, you yawn while talking, and then your throat opens. Opening your voice is more important than opening your mouth! The sound sung in this way is brighter than the sound of opening your mouth and not opening your throat. So open your mouth with your throat, and it's better to open it wider at the back! Just like using an inverted funnel, the big mouth is at the neck and throat, and the funnel tip is at the mask. If the sound position has all entered the mask, the sound can be sung from the lightest to the strongest.

Step 4 focus. When you sing, you sound like a movie. Speak louder and focus on the mask. Not too far, not too close. Everyone has his own voice focus, and when the focus is focused, the voice will get louder and louder; The sound without focus will disappear. It is required to be loud and cannot be put on the shelves in one day. At the beginning, * * * should be small, and then it will expand and sing louder and louder. This method of sounding is very quiet, as if there is a mirror behind the lamp, which can make the light shine further. Forehead, sinuses and other places are empty singing cavities, so make good use of them.

5. Take a deep breath. When singing, use the breathing method when lying down and sleeping. Among chest breathing and abdominal breathing (diaphragm), I prefer abdominal breathing, so I can take a deep breath. And soon. But no matter what kind of breathing method, you can't use it at the same time! This is contradictory, just like stepping on the brakes and stepping on the accelerator.

6. Train your voice. You find the best notes first, and then sing up and down. Don't move your mouth or throat. Try to understand and imitate the best sound when singing adjacent sounds. It's called. Self-imitation Everyone should have it, right? Memory of sound? . Pay special attention to the feeling of voice and throat. Singing is very abstract, so we must pay attention to the technical state of vocal organs such as throat muscles. The memory of sound not only refers to tone, but also includes sound quality, timbre and strength. We should pursue the unification of the upper, middle and bass areas.

7, the basic things of sound. First of all, the laryngeal muscles should make the Adam's apple slightly lower, which is better than the upward voice in terms of roundness and volume. Secondly, keep an air column when singing. Contrary to the natural sound, on the basis of the air column, the sound becomes wider and louder in the high-pitched area. When I say open voice, I mean open voice, so that the voice can pass in and out freely, without being suppressed or dried. Open the nasal cavity and enter the head cavity, and vibrate freely to make a * * * sound. You need breathing support to get the maximum * * * effect, not to say that if you open your throat and press it, your voice will turn white. If we can find a correct position, the sound will automatically enter the mask correctly.

8. Vocal cords are like rubber bands, which can be stretched and widened. However, if a person does not play his true sound quality normally, but deliberately supports the sound in the middle and bass areas, then such high notes cannot be sung. Even if you sing it, the sound is swaggering. The correct sound position is: according to the width limit and high position of the high-pitched sound, set the volume and position of the mid-bass, instead of deliberately raising the sound of the mid-bass by one tone. When singing the first note, put down the Adam's apple, then sing the second note up, control the Adam's apple, practice the second note well, and then practice the third and fourth notes up gradually.

9. The relationship between the stability of larynx opening and Adam's apple and the exertion of muscles on both sides of larynx. The neck muscles on both sides of the larynx are relatively strong, which requires the muscles on both sides to help the larynx open instead of pinching the throat. The correct way to open your throat is to feel your neck expand around. The easiest way is to sing while talking and yawn naturally. Another way is to smile when singing. Pouting and pulling the chin make the mouth form a vertical ellipse, and the throat is easy to tighten.

10, how to solve the problem of changing the sound point. The sound in the mid-bass area should be as wide as the high-pitched area, so it is easy to transition. If the bottom is too wide, the transition sound will be difficult to pass. When you start singing in the low and middle voice, you should first think about the position of the high voice and sing according to this position, so that you can pass the test smoothly. Because the position of the sound is always kept in the mask. When singing transition, don't use force, but sing softly and smoothly.

1 1. When singing a weak voice, you should still have a mask * * *, and the sound quality and timbre should be the same as when singing a strong voice. When singing high notes, the voice is loud and bright in the mask. When singing low notes, it should also have this effect, but it is much softer.

12, be careful not to open your mouth when singing high notes. When singing high notes with abdominal breathing, the upper abdomen should be slightly outward.

13, try to prevent the sound of touching the throat. Smile and sing. From high notes to low notes, every note has a position and support. Hold on, don't push. Sing a high note and hit it at once. Try to connect according to that position when you go down, and the position remains the same.

14, don't be afraid to keep your voice down! I know that many people want to improve their voices when singing in the midrange. Don't do this, the sound should be nice, the position should be high and the sound quality should be high. Because the diaphragm is always lazy, it is difficult to keep the position unchanged.

15, sing HC, weak. Don't sing with your mouth open, you will run halfway and you will feel blue! The art of singing is the art of inhaling, that is, inhaling a lot and singing as slowly as possible. Vibrate the vocal cords with little air. The trick is to make it smaller! If you sing too loudly, you will die.

16, don't use force to sing the bass, it's simpler, and you can knock it out like a small hammer; When singing high notes, there seems to be Jason Chung in it, especially the lyric soprano. Sing where you hum. What matters is the position, not the effort.

17, you can sing the high notes at the end better, take a breath, hit them at once, the point is very small, and then extend and enlarge them.

18, when breathing, the diaphragm looks around and expands, especially the diaphragm in front is very solid. Remember, you must breathe through the diaphragm!

19, every word and vowel should always be kept at a high level, and the center of gravity of * * * should always be concentrated. In this way, the audience will think that you sing effortlessly. The key is to keep your throat steady and don't open your mouth to change different vowels. Laryngeal position remains the same, you can sing bright or dark voice at will, and the sound point of the voice is always concentrated on one point, just like a movie, the focal length is clear, otherwise the image will be blurred. So is the sound.

20, the tongue does not drum, the tongue moves, and the voice will change. A flat tongue can make more room in the mouth.

2 1, the sound position should be put in the mask, so that there can be a * * * sound, don't hold it in your throat, let it out. There are two things we should always do: first, put down the Adam's apple; Second, the diaphragm muscles are strong and support the stability of sound. The mouth forms a transverse ellipse, not a vertical ellipse. If the mouth outside is too wide, the mouth inside will become smaller. Look in the mirror. When you want to open your throat, do you really open it? If you really open it, remember this muscle action.

22. No matter whether you sing high or low, the position of the voice cannot be changed. Be sure to Legato to the last note. Diaphragm is always strongly supported. Take special care not to move your throat. When singing in the high-pitched area, breathe in first and then sing, and concentrate all your energy on the Legato.

23. When singing, always have big breasts, and your mouth should be as natural as speaking. Sing weak notes and strong notes in the same position, full and bright. Sing with a smile on your face, a high pitch and a mask. The sound should be wide, round and bright, but not from the mouth, but from the throat inside. But you can't open your throat without the support of breathing. With the support of breathing, your voice is loose. Did I say that? Respiratory support? It means that muscles should be elastic and breathing should be controlled evenly, not that the diaphragm is rigid and inelastic.

24, the teeth should be open, and the voice can be low! Chew every word with big teeth, so you won't open your mouth! Pronunciation is inward, the sound is mellow, and the positions of vowels are easy to unify.

You should remember to do two things: open your throat and keep your voice in the right place. In the low voice area, don't push hard, just like talking. When singing high notes, don't lose your position as soon as you open your mouth. Don't open your mouth suddenly, keep it that way. Sounds always seem to float on it.

26. Don't open your mouth too wide up and down, don't open it too far, don't go up and down O (the vertical oval mouth is easy to get caught in your throat! )。 Mainly the inside is open, and the position of the joints inside is high. Singers have this process, and gradually they will find a singing point.

27. Bel Canto requires a very coherent voice, with each vowel on a line, pure lines and consistent breathing positions.

28, open the throat, voice into the mask * * * sound, diaphragm has the power to control the supply of breathing. These three must be linked, * * * with good. When singing high notes, on the one hand, the voice position is upward, reaching the focus of the mask. On the other hand, it is necessary to feel the human body sitting down, and feel a force coming down to the chest and all the way to the diaphragm.

29, practice the continuity of breath, with? 1 2 3 4 5? Singing a, e, I, o, u, I can't help but breathe; The practice of singing1234 54321234 56712176 54321can not only unify the high and low notes, but also practice the spirit. Pay attention to keep your throat tight when singing, and don't stretch your head and neck when singing high notes. The purpose of practicing slow scale is to find the unity of phonemes and find the correct position one by one. The fast scale is mainly to practice the diaphragm muscles, so that it will not be lazy, remain strong, flexible, elastic, change quickly, and suck fast, like a dog panting. Be sure to practice every day! !

30. Singing must have a diaphragm to control breathing. Whatever the sound, the Adam's apple must be pulled down. If the Adam's apple can be pulled down, the voice can sing, and the center of gravity of * * * will be more concentrated. Remember, never sing high notes loudly.

3 1, a person sings, the voice position is right, the breath control is right, and the candle will not go out when singing to it. If it goes out, it means there is a leak. The sound can't come out of your mouth. Don't be too loud.

32. Don't look for the sound on purpose, let the sound find you. When singing high notes, you should feel up and down in the past (Becky's right hand moves up from her throat, indicating that the voice reaches the * * * of the mask at a high position, and her left hand moves down from her throat, indicating that her voice is deep, supported by diaphragm strength and has a chest sound.

Vocal method

1, larynx and vocal cords

Laryngeal and vocal cords are the vocal organs of singing, the core parts of singing, the fortress leading to the whole singing, and the golden key to open the treasure house of singing art. Therefore, it is very necessary to understand and clarify the position and state of laryngeal and vocal cords when singing. Generally speaking, the throat position is lower when singing than when talking (just like our throat feeling when inhaling deeply, because the throat position is slightly lower when inhaling than when resting). Many people call it laryngeal position when inhaling? Horizontal position? . In the transformation from word to word and from sentence to sentence when singing, the throat should always be in this position, and it can't move up and down from the horizontal position, nor can it move left and right. Of course, the stability of laryngeal position is relative stability in motion, not rigid stability. Just like a ball floating on the water is always stable on the water, if the ball is compared to the throat, then the state of the ball floating on the water is the same as that of the throat in the inhalation position. Therefore, when singing, the throat position should always be in a low and free stable position, and the throat wall is open.

2. Open your throat

In singing training? Open your throat? It is a very important central link, which directly affects the quality of sound. ? Open your throat? That is to say, the larynx is stabilized in the correct position, the tongue flap is actively contracted upward into an arch shape, the base of the tongue is relaxed, and it is laid flat on the lower teeth, the jaw is opened, the chin is relaxed, and it is naturally pulled down in the later stage. At this time, the throat is open. So how can we help beginners? Open your throat? And then what?

1)? Yawn? The state of? Yawn? This state can make the mouth open naturally, relax, lift the flap and increase the space in the mouth. So when singing, don't close your throat, open your throat and let the breath come out freely. Yawn? State is really a good way to open your throat, and it also ensures that the singer has a good singing state. You can also use it when practicing. Shut up? Yawn? When silence yawns, the inner state is also open and lifted. If we can keep this state when singing, then your voice won't? White? ,? Pingping? Yes, your voice will? Vertical? 、? Round? Yes

2) use? Smile? Open your throat. What did we say? Smile? Not just laughing, but referring to? Smiling muscles? Lift it. ? Smiling muscles? Lifting is to open the nasopharynx and the big teeth, and the smiling muscles (cheekbones) on both sides of the face are smiling. This smiling state can open your throat and give you a high note. ? The state of singing is inner yawning and a smile on the head? This is brilliant.

3. Good alto

Alto is the basis of singing. Without a good alto, there is nothing else. Pay attention to the practice of alto, work hard on alto, and don't rush to sing high notes. When practicing, you should start from the middle and low volume, after a considerable period of consolidation, and then gradually develop to a higher or lower range. Beginners must follow the principle of gradual progress from easy to difficult, otherwise they will not get the correct high notes at the beginning, but will destroy the vocal cords. The alto should be bright, relaxed, smooth and effortless, so as to develop upward and open the way for singing high notes. The voice of the alto should be natural and free, with beautiful timbre and flexible voice. The important sound area of each voice is the alto. The alto should take a deep breath, breathe naturally, be elastic, positive, have a strong point, and have a stable and relaxed throat. No matter how high or low the sound is, the feeling of the larynx is in one position, and the sound should be emitted, but the sound should keep the same shape and position from beginning to end. The metaphor we often say? Sounds should be like pearls, putting each sound on a line? And so on, that is to say, the sound should be coherent, unified and mellow.

4. About the voice exchange area

When you sing from the bass to a place, it will be more difficult and easy to get stuck. This is the voice changing area. At this time, you must continue singing on it in some ways. Singers should first basically master the singing method in the vocal area, and then make specific adjustments according to different people. There are several ways to practice:

1)? Take a breath? The singer's action is to make a gasp when he sings a changed sound, as if? Scared? Physiologically, the larynx is slightly downward and backward, so that the oropharyngeal cavity is completely opened. At the same time, the breath behind the gums when singing in the midrange gradually moves up with the pitch, and the mouth gradually opens. At this time, the sound feels more upward and goes further forward. At this time, the voice naturally entered the voice exchange area.

2) Vowel conversion technique is to let the voice cover up a little in advance when singing to the voice change area, the voice is darker, the air output is smaller, and the small tongue is raised a little. When you encounter a voice change point, one thing must be emphasized, that is, when you find the voice difficult to sing, or even feel that the voice is going to break, don't change the shape of the vocal organs, don't move around, work hard, just keep singing with the voice. Actually, it's always the voice changer, okay? Mixed voice? The problem is the combination of true and false sounds. Covering up some sounds is the composition of falsetto, but it can't be completely false. It must be mixed with the real sound, so that there will be no traces of sound connection and the sound will not be empty. Therefore, learning to change the transition of voice points will also learn the singing method of falsetto, and the position of falsetto is of great benefit to singing and solving the unity of voice.
