I know that singing with breath can keep the voice steady, but what are the benefits of using lungs? How should I practice?

First, breathe.

Speaking of this topic, I am a little confused, because it is the most difficult thing to express in words. I practiced bel canto for two years before singing, and I was deeply touched and helped me a lot. Generally, people who haven't studied vocal music have flat voices, so they pronounce them in their usual speaking position (voice). We call it "white", with no color and no filter. Below I will express the method of practicing Bel Canto.

Sound should be rooted in the lower abdomen. Imagine that sound passes through the back spine, to the back of the head, and to the back of the mouth. The whole sound should be upright and backward. Please find the feeling that you take a big bite of the apple, show your upper teeth, and make a "hmm" sound at the same time, and feel the position of the sound in the back of your mouth and the upper part of your nose. This is a * * * sound point of Bel Canto. Next, the breath sinks, the lower abdomen expands, and the lower abdomen exerts a little force. When the male voice is depressed by the Adam's apple, the female voice pays more attention to the position of the voice behind the head, and you will find that the voice is much louder than before. Practicing against the wall often helps to make sound, because leaning against the wall can touch your back and spine, which makes it easier for you to find the feeling. The sound of chest cavity can vibrate with the wall, which makes it easier for you to find the feeling of chest cavity. Starting with practicing "Mima" and gradually increasing it will help to practice high-pitched breath; Practice from high to low, and repeat it, and one day you will find the feeling. Bel canto pays attention to "transparency" and often imagines that his voice is erect, not flat; In addition, we also pay attention to the "* * * sound". After the sound passes through the chest or above, it will be round and full. To experience the * * * sound, you can do this: close your mouth and make a "hmm" sound, with a little affection. If "hmm" lasts longer, you will feel your head and chest vibrating. If you have a good breath, this * * * sound will add a lot of color to your voice. Listen carefully to some tall Americans, and you will know what a chest is (foreigners' chest structure is more likely to produce * * *).

In addition, I also want to mention the vital capacity. Singers need large lung capacity, such as some long and stuffy melodies. Don't be flushed and panting after singing. Lung capacity can only be maintained by regular exercise. Also, mastering certain skills can make up for some phenomena of insufficient vital capacity. First, practice breathing. A good vocal method can well control the flow of sound through your voice. For example, when you sing this sentence, "... I'm not afraid that you will betray me ...", a singer with unstable breath may suddenly sing the voice of "fear" through blasting, so that the breath with insufficient lung capacity can suddenly run away. If there is a long sentence that doesn't breathe, it's strange not to suffocate him. Singers with good breathing skills can control the flow of these sonic booms, and the microphone will not vibrate when singing. So I suggest that you put a candle in front of your mouth when practicing your voice, and try not to let the candle shake when practicing your voice! In this way, your qi will stay in your body for a long time. Think about whether to keep exhaling for a long time or not to hold your breath for a long time. Of course, this also requires the singer to relax and not be nervous. When you are nervous, your heart beats faster and your breathing is more unstable.

I can only say so much here, it depends on my feelings. However, I want to remind you that vocal music training is the basis of singing popular songs. Never use vocal music training to directly interpret pop songs, because it will be too artificial, and you will sing "nothing" like Yan Weiwen.

With regard to the use of voices in popular songs, my opinion is that it is ok to shout "broken" as long as it conforms to the artistic conception of songs, but these are absolutely forbidden in bel canto, so we should learn from each other's strong points, because we practice bel canto not for singing, but for singing well, just like practicing "Ma bu" or "Ma bu" or "Ma bu" or "Ma bu" or "Ma bu" in martial arts. Have you ever seen anyone squatting and fighting?

Some friends say this expression is difficult to understand. It is also an effective way for me to talk about who has penetrating breath in the hands of pop songs. It is easier to understand by feeling. Personally, I think you should listen to May more as a female singer, because she is naturally transparent. Male singers should ponder "Man Wenjun" more. He really sings by breathing. In addition, Jacky Cheung has a good atmosphere, but Man Wenjun is more suitable for teaching.

Second, high notes.

This is my friend's favorite question, in their words, because the treble is "enough to drag", hehe! Thirdly, good singing skills should be integrated in many aspects, and it cannot be said that the higher the tenor, the better the singing skills. Indeed, a good tenor can add to the climax of the song, but advise friends not to just know the value of tenor and ignore the bass. In fact, a full bass is also very infectious.

When singing high notes, the breath must be based on the lower abdomen and Tian Dan, and the "Tian Dan breath" emphasized in Beijing dialect also refers to this vocal position.

Looking for feelings 1: What would you do if you were a girl and suddenly there was a mouse on your shoe? It is estimated that there will be a long sound of "ah ~" and a phoneme of "falsetto". When you are calm, you can look at "ah ~" and most of them will never "ah" again. Why? Because at the moment when you are frightened, your lower abdomen is tense. Think about the feeling of being scared. Are your muscles tense? It is precisely because of this foundation, coupled with strong airflow (which can be understood as the breath of singing), that the voice is not high. So you can understand the feeling of soaring high notes as "tension" and "cheer up" Remember that everything is based on the lower abdomen. Singing high notes is not to lift your head up and down, but to move your center of gravity down and feel a rebound.

Feeling 2: Have you ever seen a rubber hose? What should I do if I want the water in the pipeline to skyrocket further? Tighten the front end of the water pipe, the gap becomes smaller, the pressure increases, and the water flows farther. Actually, high notes don't have to be big. Some singers are very loud when they sing high notes. We say that they are singing with strength and vital capacity, not with breath and skill. Imagine the faucet theory, and you should be able to realize some truth.

Feeling 3: There is a big stone on the ground. Lift it. As soon as you bend down, count: "One, two, three, go …". I think you must have used the word "go". I won't say much, just feel what's heavy around me ... hehe! These are just some ways I created to make you feel the breath. They are informal, but very effective.

I also want to tell you that the ability to express high notes is related to your own voice conditions. If your voice is naturally high, that is a great advantage. For example, "Sun Nan" is a typical treble, and the treble interpretation will not be so laborious. A singer with poor voice condition relies on a lot of breath and methods, but whether the voice condition is good or not, the voice is sung through breath, just like a cigarette passing through a filter. If the voice is filtered, it will be more beautiful.

In addition, I also tell you a psychological method. Imagine that you are singing in the face of the vast sea when you are in high notes, and you can't see the sea and the sky on the side. Isn't this scenery worth shouting?

Third, the method of exercising vital capacity

There are many reasons for the decline of vital capacity test value year after year, among which the main reasons are: lack of effective physical exercise methods and insufficient physical exercise time. There are many ways to exercise vital capacity. There are three ways.

Method 1: Do some bare-handed exercises such as chest enlargement and arm vibration regularly.

Method 2: Endurance running practice, pay attention to regular running and breathing coordination, appropriate distance and unfavorable intensity.

Method 3: Practice diving or swimming. In the water, you should not only keep paddling, but also overcome the resistance of water to breathing. It is a good way to exercise and improve vital capacity.

There are many ways to improve vital capacity through exercise: playing football, playing basketball, running back and so on. It should be noted that no matter which method you choose, you must persevere and practice frequently to be effective.

The mechanism of these exercises is to increase the strength of respiratory muscles, improve the elasticity of lungs, increase and deepen the depth of breathing, improve and improve the efficiency and function of lung breathing, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the detection value of vital capacity.

Good luck!
