What should I do if my singing and pronunciation are not good?

How to sing well

I think many people have some voice limitations, so they think they are not suitable for singing, etc... In fact, the vast majority of people can sing. It's great. Even if your voice is very bad, you can gradually develop it through self-training.

In fact, when singing reaches a certain stage, it can be said that you gradually use your voice less. Some people use their hands when singing. There is actually a reason for suppressing your voice and not letting it go up. But this is not the correct way to sing, because if you lower your voice and don't let it go up, you won't be able to sing to the point of splitting, but if you use your hands to press it, it will It will have a certain impact on the voice, and it will not have any real effect. It does not mean that you can really sing. But not all songs must be sung with the throat down. For example: the same song, a fine-tuned version with a female voice, must be Only when you raise your voice can you sing so thinly.

Anyone who can sing knows that singing requires breathing, and how you use your breath is the key to singing well. And where does the breath come from? What? How to practice qi? In fact, qi comes from the Dantian, and when you lift the qi and rush up, the voice is just passing through the voice, instead of shouting with the voice, so the usage rate of the voice is less than that of people who cannot sing. And from the voice After passing the breath, it rushes into the forehead, and the forehead, back of the head, and nose vibrate, thereby achieving real singing. The size of the nasal sound can be adjusted by itself. However, the vibration of the forehead is very large. If it reaches a certain stage , after singing for a long time, the forehead will hurt. However, the inhalation does not need to be very rapid, just like smelling the fragrance of flowers, inhale gently and evenly.

As for Dantian Qi, there is actually a lot of it. There are other training methods, such as practicing martial arts, you can sing continuously every day, you can shout like a madman every day. But here is a Qi training method that no one has heard of, using a pillow (filled with sand) Then put it on your belly, lie down to practice your voice, sing, etc... Soon you will gradually feel your Dantian Qi.

The following is also an important common sense, that is, you must open your mouth before singing. .The so-called opening of the voice means, such as shouting, or raising the voice like learning vocal music, that is, from bass to high pitch...rising and falling...Only after opening the voice, the voice can reach a better state, otherwise sometimes there will be a kind of singing The feeling of not being able to open up.

The so-called use of the voice less does not mean not using the voice, but using the voice skillfully. The voice is used skillfully, and it can even imitate the voices of many people, just like Wu Kequn, but to be honest, Maybe the live version is not that special, because each person's voice has certain limitations and cannot achieve the same tone as others. Singers in many places can sing any song and they all sound the same. But in fact this is not good. Everyone must have his own style. And imitating others will hurt your own style, so you must stick to your own style.

When learning to sing

My teacher once taught me a method of vocal production

Voice is innate, but singing skills are acquired

So, voice is not trained

Let me tell you how to make it better for you

**************************** *********

First, exhale all the air in the lungs, and exhale cleanly

Then, hold your breath, press your hands on your lower abdomen, and It is often referred to as Dan Tian

To use force to inflate Dan Tian, ??your hands should react on Shan Tian and use force

When inflating, you should gradually use force and do not puff up all at once

It takes about five seconds from the beginning to the maximum exertion

Then to the strongest point, it lasts for five seconds

Finally, gradually relax. Don't relax all at once, for about five seconds

Be careful not to breathe during the entire process.

This is a cycle, practice like this every day for two hours, for half a year

Your singing skills will definitely be very strong, but don’t stop in the middle, especially in the first week. For seven days, you must persevere

Exercise your lung capacity, swim more, and run more! Watch more music videos, look at other singers' mouth movements when singing, and imitate them! Sing more and practice more

It is best to find a professional teacher for guidance so that you will not go astray or damage your vocal cords. You should be careful not to use your vocal cords too much when singing. The sound can be transmitted far and steady. Pay attention to the use of breath, otherwise it will cause cocoons on the vocal cords

Singing is an art. In order to improve children's ability to express songs, they should be given training in singing skills and the content of the training. Including: singing posture, breathing, vocalization and articulation and other aspects of the requirements.

1. Singing posture

Correct singing posture is not only a manifestation of the singer's good mentality, but also related to the use of breath, the regulation of the cries and singing During training, students should develop good singing habits, so that their eyes are level and focused, the mandible is retracted, the neck is straight and not tense, the spine is straight, the lower abdomen is slightly retracted, and the waist is stable.

2. Breathing during singing

The first is to inhale. When doing breathing exercises, first establish the correct singing posture, keep your waist straight, your chest and shoulders loose, and your head Look freely, look into the distance, the expression from heart to face is full of affection, and then "sigh happily" to relax the chest. When inhaling, open the mouth slightly, lift the hard and soft palate, and cooperate with the eyebrow raising movement, it is very Excitedly, focus on the lower back, relax the waist outward, and let the Qi "flow in" naturally and smoothly, so that the waist and back have a "Qi feeling", and the chest will naturally feel wider. For example, use " Yawn" to feel the above movements.

But do not exhale too deeply, otherwise the chest and abdomen will become stiff, affecting the flexibility of the voice and the accuracy of the pitch. Do not make any sound when inhaling, otherwise it will not only affect the artistic effect of singing, but also make the It is not easy to inhale deeply, which affects the support of the breath. Therefore, in daily life, you should develop the habit of expanding your ribs and slightly contracting your lower abdomen.

3. Vocal practice is a comprehensive basic skill training in singing. Learning to sing must start with the most basic vocal exercises.

1. Do exercises to obtain the breath fulcrum, experience the coordination of inhalation and sound, and use scientific humming methods to experience and adjust your own singing voice.

2. Learn to sing with your mouth open, your upper and lower teeth loosened, and you will have a "feeling like your jaw is falling off" with the tip of your tongue loosely touching the lower teeth.

3. When singing octaves, from low to high, the vowels should be sung together without breaking, and the oropharyngeal cavity should be opened from small to large at the same time.

4. Cooperate with smooth breathing to produce a round, smooth and free sound.

4. Articulation and enunciation are accurate and clear

The purpose of pronunciation practice is to sing songs more perfectly, so we must pay attention to the articulation and enunciation of words clearly and correctly master them. The echo of language clarifies the structural rules of Chinese character language, and practices are combined with song tunes and pronunciation. When practicing singing, recite each word several times according to the pronunciation method of pronunciation to bring out the rhyme, and then combine the pronunciation exercises to use the words to bring out the sounds, and strive to achieve a clear and round pronunciation of the words, a rich and emotional tone, and a clear and original sound when singing. The focus point of the sound should be as close as possible to the concentrated point of the sound area, so that the sounds of the three sound areas can be connected and flexibly adjusted.

The art of singing is an art that combines sound and literature. When we sing a good song, we can’t just focus on the sound and not the emotion, or vice versa. We should deal with the ideological content and expression techniques of the song, as well as the songwriter and the song. We need to have a comprehensive understanding and analysis of the historical background, and then perform appropriate processing to accurately and completely reproduce the artistic image of the song, so as to achieve the goal of bringing out the sound with emotion and both sound and emotion.

How to sing high notes

1. Human singing instinct

Have you heard the sad song of the blind girl on a rainy night, right? Have you ever heard of a happy folk song duet between a man and a woman? These people have never had any vocal training, but their singing still moves you because they give full play to their natural singing instinct.

Regarding the issues of breathing, vocalization, vocalization, and high pitch that I talked about earlier, everything cannot escape natural conditions, and all physical conditions are produced according to nature. Unfortunately, we often abandon this natural condition and work hard to find some "shortcuts" and "secrets". That is a very sad thing.

When a singer sings, although the role of the larynx is unique, mental effort can also influence it. When singing, the movement of the larynx is completely spontaneous. When the singer sings, whatever note he wants to sing, the tension and frequency of oscillations of the vocal cords will completely match his thoughts. Of course, when making sounds, you also need to use rapid force such as the diaphragm, abdominal muscles, ribs, mouthpiece, etc. A newborn baby doesn't know these things at all, but it can use those powers very well. When he cries, he cries sadly; when he laughs, he makes a sweet note. This proves that life has a natural ability to use our voices freely and expressively.

2. Shout the high note first

When we do any kind of sport, such as shot put, we must first have the strength to lift the shot put. In order to increase the strength of their hands and feet, people who practice martial arts first practice water-carrying. Only when their hands and feet have strength can they not lose their hands and fly away when dancing with the sword.

Our vocal cords must be able to withstand the high pressure sent from below in order to be able to pronounce words. Someone asked, if the vocal cords produce sound under high pressure, will shouting occur? Will shouting break the vocal cords? No, as long as you maintain correct breathing and singing posture, you won't cry out. As for the position and covering of the high note, how can you determine the position of the high note before you shout it?

We start from the bottom and go up semitones, until #f2, g2, #g2, five tones form a group. Don't shout too much at first, because your breathing and singing posture may not be right at first. You need to correct it while singing. When everything is coordinated, you might as well shout more. After #g2 is finished, a2 is another way of breathing. We know that when singing high notes, we need to press the breath up with high pressure. In fact, we need to use the breath from the waist at this time (see the next section). After shouting a2 with the breath from the waist, use the same breath to shout b2 flat. .

Generally speaking, people who sing high notes are born with high notes, but we just don’t use them. A girl who has never received vocal training can usually only sing up to f2, but when she suddenly encounters a scary thing, she can't help but scream, and this scream may reach f3 in high C, but Normally she would not make such a high pitch. So don't worry, shout out the high notes boldly, shouting more is beneficial.

3. Breathing and posture

If we have the opportunity to scream out loud when encountering something very surprising, we must remember the screaming posture and use it again. Sing high notes, that's right.

Singing high notes is different from singing low notes. It involves pressing the air into a thin line and impacting the vocal cords. When the strength of the diaphragm has reached its peak and cannot be pressurized, waist strength must be used. As mentioned before, the lung lobes are larger than the lung apex, that is, the lower part is larger than the upper part, and the upper lung apex is expanded outward by the ribs. To use waist strength, first put your hands on your hips (you don’t have to pay attention to your abdominal muscles at this time, they will work naturally when you inhale), inhale the air around the waist, feel the front and rear waist expand, and then close the air in (Open your mouth wide, see Figure 7), pull your waist and ribs inward, and push your chest upwards. You will feel the pressure pressing on your upper jaw. This is the method of using waist strength.

As mentioned before, for f2--#g2, we use the contraction of the abdominal muscles to increase the pressure. When we reach a2, we use waist strength. When we reach b2, we only need a small amount of air (but use high pressure (gas), just open your upper lip as if yawning, expose a little of the upper teeth, and place the tip of your tongue flat on the lower teeth, then you can sing b2 flat. From a note above b2 flat to a note above high C, the method is the same as b2 flat.

Here is another example to illustrate how to use your waist strength to sing high notes.

Using the strength of the waist to sing high notes is equivalent to filling a long balloon with air, then pinching the lower half with your hands, and the upper half will swell up, which is like a diaphragm. It has risen to the top and cannot rise any further.

We inhale the waist full of air, then draw the entire waist and the open ribs below inward, and push out the chest, just like pinching a balloon with your hands, creating a strong, rising airflow, and this is It’s what we use to sing high notes.

4. Close and cover up

When I was learning to sing, when I sang high notes, I had to close! It was really "like being in a fog" at that time. And this word is still used by people in China. Because of the confusion about the true meaning of Close, many tenors have been harmed and many good voices have been ruined.

My opinion on Close is: close the sound box below and open the sound box above. When we sing high notes, we need to make a sound in the head cavity, so we have to raise the soft cover. The purpose of opening the upper lip is to raise the soft lid, and at the same time, use waist strength to push open the soft lid. As for the term "covering" used by some people in China today, I think it is better. It means that the high notes should not be too white, but should be somewhat covered, as if there is a bowl covering the high notes.
