Broadcasters and hosts practice their voice and breath

The first stage: practice qi before making a sound. Research data shows that under normal circumstances, people breathe 16-19 times per minute, and each breathing process takes about 3 or 4 seconds. When singing, sometimes A breath needs to be extended for ten seconds or even longer, and the inhalation time is short and the exhalation time is long. You must master the key to keeping the breath in the lungs and exhaling slowly, so you must do the following first:

(一 ) "Breathe deeply and exhale slowly to control the extended exercise."

The key points are: first learn to "store gas", press the air first to discharge the waste gas, and then use the gap between the nose and the tip of the tongue to inhale gently and naturally, like "smelling flowers". Be full, then the energy sinks into the Dantian, slowly relax the chest and ribs, and exhale slowly and evenly like a long stream of water. The longer the control time, the better. Repeat the practice 4-6 times.

(2) "Deep Breathing and Slow Exhaling Number Exercise"

We call the first step "suction, lift and push". The breath of "suction and lift" is inward, and "push" "Push your breath outward and downward, and do breath extension exercises while "pushing". We recommend three practice methods:

A. Counting exercises: "Suck and lift" as before. While "pushing", whisper softly Count the number "12345678910" quickly - count in one breath until the breath is gone. See how many times you can count.

B. "Counting dates" exercise: Same as "sucking". Before. While "pushing", he whispered softly: "Go out of the east gate and cross the bridge. There is a jujube tree under the bridge. Use a bamboo pole to hit the jujubes. There are more green ones and less red ones. (Take enough breath.) One jujube, two jujubes, three jujubes, four jujubes. Five... Keep this breath until your breath is gone. See how many dates you can count. Repeat 4-6 times.

C. "Counting gourds" exercise: "Suck and lift" Same as before. While "pushing", whisper softly: "Golden gourd, silver gourd, I can't count 24 gourds in one breath (take enough breath) one gourd, two gourds, three gourds..." Repeat this 4-6 times until you are exhausted. .

Count numbers, "count dates", and "count gourds" to control the breath. The more you practice, the better you can control it. Don't let it run away. There will be soreness in the abdomen at first, but after practicing for a while, you will feel that you have made great progress.

(3) "Practice of breathing deeply and exhaling long sounds"

After breathing exercises, the sounds begin to be gradually added. This exercise is still mainly about Qi training, supplemented by vocalization. While pushing, choose a middle and low range, and gently pronounce the "ah" sound ("ah" for "big voice" means that the exhalation and Qi training go hand in hand), Girls make the "咿" sound ("咿" in "small voice" means sending out). Hold it in one breath, and the sound outlet will advance in a cylindrical wave-like manner. You can pull it as long as you can, practice it repeatedly.

(4) "Qi-supporting staccato exercise"

This is an exercise of half voice and half breath. Put your hands on your waist or protect your abdomen, hold the breath from the Dantian to the forehead and pharynx, and make a sound at the same time. Mainly mid-bass, elastic, the abdomen and diaphragm pop up at the same time using telescopic force. We introduce three exercises:

A. Hold it in one breath, and make a quick "peep beat" in your mouth. "Plop!" (repeatedly) until the breath is about to end and a staccato sound of "pop, pop" is made. Repeat 4-6 times.

B. Stretch your feet in one breath, first slowly, then quickly Say "Ha Gong Ha) - (repeatedly) (speed up) ha, ha, ha..." to practice the explosive staccato. "Ha ha..." laughter, "ah ha" and "ah cough" are commonly used in singing.

C. Stretch your feet in one breath, and say "Hey - thick, hey - thick" slowly and then quickly (repeating and gradually speeding up) "Hey thick, hey thick..." Speed ??up until you are exhausted, repeat Practice.

After this stage of practice, Qi is the basis of sound, and Qi is the breath of sound. It has been basically full, and the "place of Qi" has been basically excited and active, and the sound has been During preparation and protection, on this basis, you can start preparing for voice practice

The second stage: practice of breath, voice and words

Opera actors, especially Peking opera actors, include opera actors. Fans tend to be impatient when it comes to vocal training. They wish they could shout out a high and bright voice quickly. They rush to shout high notes, shout loudly or even shout blindly, which is often counterproductive. When we are studying how to practice shouting, we should deliberately practice breathing first and not rush to vocalize, which is beneficial to vocal practice. We need to clarify a step-by-step rule and perseverance. In this third stage, we recommend not to rush up the scale and shout high notes. , and start from the combination of breath, sound and words.

The relationship between these three should be arranged in this order: Qi serves the sound, the sound serves the tune, the tune serves the word, the word serves the word, and the word serves the emotion. From this order, we can see that the character is in the center, with "yin" and "qiang" in front, and "ci" and "emotion" in the back. If one of them collapses, everyone loses. The true pronunciation of a word determines the roundness of the sound. This is exactly the principle of "using words to express the tone". The relationship between words, sounds and Qi in shouting and singing should be based on the "qi", the "sound", and the "word". The specific method is: use the Chinese Pinyin method to enlarge and slow down the beginnings, abdomens and endings of characters, practice the sounds with the characters, and then speed up, and at the same time practice the flexibility of the mouth, lips, teeth, tongue and throat.

① Labial sound practice: (Slow it down first, enlarge it and gradually speed it up until you read the tongue twister)

Eight hundred and one mark, one soldier and one run - Bei Yi Po Yi

On the north slope, one artillery and one soldier ran in a row -

One artillery, one soldier, one fear, one mark, one soldier, one touch.

One mark, one soldier, one fear One touch, one cannon, one soldier, one cannon, one

② Sibilance practice (the method is the same as above)

Four——is four,

Ten——is—— Ten,

Fourteen is - fourteen,

Forty - is - forty,

Don't say fourteen - - Forty,

Don’t say forty - fourteen,

③tongue pronunciation practice (the method is the same as above)

Sixty-six-year-old Liu Lao Liu, pushing sixty,

Six big oil baskets,

Sixty-six branches of weeping willows,

Tethered to sixty-six big horses monkey.

④ Throat practice (same method as above)

There is a tiger in front of the mountain,

There is a monkey at the foot of the mountain,

The tiger chases the monkey away , Monkey fights tiger,

Tiger cannot fight monkey,

Monkey cannot fight tiger.

⑤Tingual and dental pronunciation exercises (the method is the same as above)

A lame man came to the south of the street, holding a plate in his right hand and an eggplant in his left hand; there was a pout and a prong in the street I stumbled over the lame man, dropped the plate with my right hand, and threw the eggplant with my left hand

⑥ Practice the pronunciation of the Thirteen Zhe characters

The wind (Middle East) rushes (ash heap) and the heat rises (Gusu) ) one goes (one seven) one lotus (bosuo) one flower (flower) one thanks (乜skew)

autumn (youqiu) one refreshing (jiangyang) one cloud (renchen) one high (Yao Tiao) Yiyan (preface) Yi Zi (Zhi Si) Yi Lai (Huai Lai)

Qiao (Yao Tiao) Yi Jia (hair flower) One person (Ren Chen) Yi Twisting (Yu Qiu) ) one pinch (乜skew) one out (Gusu) one room (Jiangyang) one come (Huailai)

East (Middle East) one west (17) one south (preface) one north ( Ash pile) Sitting (Bosuo)

The third stage: poetry and singing practice

The purpose of placing poetry and singing in the fourth stage is to practice and explore the "generous bass" , the voice quality of "mellow midrange and tough treble" does not blindly raise or climb higher, but consolidates the midrange and bass to make the tone gorgeous and pure, maintaining a good-sounding and usable voice, and at the same time training the toughness and elasticity of the treble . At this time, the singing and reciting exercises are all unaccompanied. The singing is more difficult and demanding. In the third stage of practice, the breath, sound and words are at the bottom. It is climbed step by step. The voice is not tired and the practice is smooth. Effective and reliable.

① When reciting poetry, we generally choose setting poems from various professions. Because the characters have just entered the scene, they need to leave a first impression on the audience and make them stop talking and calm down. Therefore, the setting poems should be in a lighter tone. High, neither urgent nor slow, it is a self-analysis of the character's own interests and aspirations. It is very rhythmic and must be practiced well. It is also suitable for shouting, practicing and practicing. For example, Mi Heng's closing poem in "Beating Drums and Scolding Cao" says, "The mouth is like a hanging river and the words are flowing, and all the princes are suppressed by the tip of the tongue. How can a man hold his hands in the sky? He should talk and laugh in search of a prince"; another example is "Carrying a Huahua Car" In Yue Fei's opening poem, "Bright and bright armor shoots people into the bullfighting palace, misty flags cover the red sun, tigers are arrayed with Mingfu generals, and horses are like dragons." In the morning when everything wakes up and everything is renewed, you can practice your voice to your heart's content.

②Singing: It has the characteristics of chanting and reciting, half singing and half chanting. It is more difficult than reciting poetry. Its emotions are more suitable for expressing, and its rhythm is more suitable for stretching. It is just used for shouting and making sounds. Half chanting and half singing is like an introduction. For example, Zhao Yanrong in "Universal Frontier" half chants (reciting) "The cuckoo branches weep, (singing) blood and tears secretly cry sadly."

"Another example of Yangping Pass" Cao Cao (half-chant) "holds the sky with one hand (chant), marvelous achievements have been built long ago, (half-chant) supports Han Zuo in vain, (half-chant) the situation will be changed by Wei." Directly chant as follows: "Qin Qiong sells horses" "The hero is trapped in heaven, not knowing when he will return to his hometown", and "Qingfeng Pavilion" "Old age, weak blood, old and childless", "Listening to mother's loud cry of sorrow must be for "Jiao'er has lost the love between husband and wife."

③Jingbai (Mandarin) poetry recitation: Practice reciting lyrics for modern drama performances, such as using the melody of poetry to recite "Chairman Mao's Poems" "The sky is high and the clouds are dark" , looking out at the geese flying south, he is not a true man if he does not reach the Great Wall", etc. Another example is reading some classic sayings of modern dramas, "When the long drought of grain seedlings meets the sweet rain, remember it bit by bit in my heart", "Thousands of branches and leaves, one root, all are suffering people", etc. , are good materials for shouting and vocal training. Traditional large-scale chanting and some oral exercises can also be used to practice breathing and vocalization at this stage.

The fourth stage: arc-shaped breathing exercises

This is a very unique vocal technique in Peking Opera. It is like bouncing in dance, jumping up, squatting down and bouncing up again. It is also like throwing a shot put in sports. It spins up, retracts, and throws out again. Push out with the sound to form a / shape, parabola, pull it back, and then throw it out.

For example, Wu Sheng: Ah / cough /

Lao Sheng: Ma / Lai /

Ugly: Ah/Ha/

Tsing Yi: Bitter/Wow/

Rong⌒ gift/

This type of double-arc Qi and sound, if not practiced properly, can easily produce "cha sounds", "turns" or "squeaks". The general key is: good luck - the word "Tu Hao" (like "" Decompose the pronunciation of the characters like "Hanyu Pinyin") - throw it out - collect it - throw it out again, control the breath and volume, and select the best timbre. Each link complements each other. Especially the "Rong" chanted by Cheng Pai "——瀀" seems to be broken continuously, as thin as a gossamer, and when it breaks, it rises and reaches the fullness. The return sound and return rhyme require hard practice and mastering.

The fifth stage: climbing scales and difficult difficulties Sound practice

"Ga tune", "turning high" and "high tone" are indispensable in singing. We call them difficult sounds. When practicing these sounds, be careful not to overdo it. The key to practice is to find a way to find a position. If you shout and shout with all your strength, all the previous exercises will be useless and your voice will be hurt. When practicing this sound, you should avoid squeezing, jamming, pinching, pressing, forcing, and forcing it horizontally. The old man said, "If you want to sing a word loudly, you don't have to shout hard (shouting with clumsy strength), but if you make the word narrow, thin, sharp, and deep, the sound will be louder... Whenever it is raised loudly, When the words are illuminated, the Qi is lifted up and sent out... then it will be clear and bright for the listener, and the singer will not have to exert any effort. "There are tips and methods here. You have to explore and explore according to your own actual conditions.
