In the past, people always had a prejudice against pop songs: as long as they have a good sense of music and a good voice, it doesn't matter whether they have a method or not. In this way, many of our singers don't study the position of breathing, articulation and vocalization, which leads to the dry bass; The high notes are dry and squeezed out of the throat. Although it can fool the layman's ears through the processing of the recording studio, it will show its original shape as soon as it arrives at the scene. Nowadays, famous singers, whether they are Mao Amin, Wei Wei and Liu Huan in Chinese mainland, Teresa Teng, Tong Ange and Youke lin li in Hong Kong and Taiwan, or lionel richie, Jackson and Madonna abroad, all know that they have undergone strict vocal training and have scientific vocal methods. As guitar lovers, we don't have high requirements for singing skills, but it is also necessary to know some ways to make our songs mellow and relaxed.

First, the breath of singing

We usually use natural breathing in our daily life, which is too shallow to sing. Singing breathing is a kind of deep abdominal breathing, that is, the breath should be sucked around the waist, and then the force fulcrum can be found by the confrontation between the expiratory muscle and the inspiratory muscle. Always keep this state when singing, and the voice is completely controlled by the breath. This is what people call "sound * air transmission".

Here are some effective ways to practice breathing.

1. inhalation

Imagine yourself in a beautiful garden and want to smell the exotic flowers deeply-this is the inhalation of singing, which makes you inhale deeply. After inhaling, hold it for a short time as before sneezing, and experience the swelling around the waist. Finding this feeling is the key to singing.

expiration

The way to exhale is to use the strength of diaphragm to keep the feeling of waist expansion. Exhale evenly and slowly. You can prepare a piece of tissue paper with the size of 10 square centimeter, stick it on the wall, 4-6 centimeters away from it, and blow it with your mouth to prevent it from falling to the ground. It takes more than half a minute to pass. You can also change it into a burning candle and make a "U" sound to the flame, which is correct.

Breathing is a flame that falls but does not go out.

3. How to train the strength of diaphragm

The strength of diaphragm is very important for the maintenance of breath and the strength of sound. Traditional training methods are:

(1). Count: Take a deep breath and hold it with the strength of your waist. Count from 1 and count to 60 to be qualified. Count evenly and rhythmically, don't steal gas.

(2) Blow: Take a deep breath, and then blow forward as if to blow off the dust on the table, one slow and two fast, and experience the power of the diaphragm.

(3) Do more sit-ups to strengthen the waist and abdomen.

Second, the singing of * * *

After breathing correctly, you can start singing. To make the song mellow and beautiful, you must sing it with * * *. We mainly use the chest cavity, throat cavity, nasal cavity and head cavity to sing. To have a good voice, when singing high, middle and low notes, you must have some * * * sounds above the chest, that is, "the high position of the voice."

1. The basic state of singing

To get a high-pitched position, you must relax your throat and retract your chin. These two organs can't exert their power in singing. Most people sing high notes by squeezing their throats, which is the wrong way to make sounds and can't get a beautiful voice. The larynx should be relaxed to make it a channel for breathing, and then lift the soft palate and smiling muscles (that is, keep smiling) to let the sound reach the nasal cavity.

2. The location of the * * * sound

Generally speaking, when singing, the bass is mainly sung on the chest. After the alto and treble, the proportion of * * * singing in the high position gradually increased, mainly concentrated in the nasal cavity and head cavity.

These are the basic essentials of singing. You must practice more, practice makes perfect, so that you can sing beautiful and moving songs. In addition, there are many techniques to express the charm of pop songs, such as vibrato, crying, breathing, choking and so on.

Singing and vocalization exercises (9 methods)

The most frustrating thing about singing is that it is out of tune.

I thought it was easy to sing once with a microphone in my hand, but who knows that no one is present, it can be considered quite satisfactory. A person who knows how to sing in front of people will change his tune and will not even be ordered to breathe.

Practice the song slowly. Since you like singing, you must solve the problem of "out of tune".

Article 1 of the Basic Law: When practicing breathing, you must relax your throat and chest and abdomen together, then close them once, open your mouth once, and just breathe once. Go back and forth a dozen times, and you must sing a favorite song, and you must lip-synch like half a moon? 」。

(2)

It is said that after the first trick, the second trick will be performed in black and pink.

Method ━ ━ Relax all over, take a deep breath, then sing from I to I with a slight breath, and then take a breath to make a fast and smooth "Oh" sound.

This method helps to increase the volume and make the sound bright. However, some singers sing in a shallow and narrow voice, and after "inspiring" exercise, they may find that their throats are tight and they breathe quickly. If this happens. Please pour a glass of warm water, ...

Poetry says: Take a sip and pat your chest. Then massage the whole neck and throat by hand, which helps blood circulation and widens the chest and mouth.

(3)

It is said that after the "two moves", it should be the third one. Please put your hands gently next to the left and right ribs (a little waist) and inhale. When inhaling, you should feel the lateral expansion of both ribs. Please keep your hands intact, close your abdomen and exhale, and keep your ribs expanded when exhaling. Then relax all over, repeat once, twice and three times until you inhale seventeen or eighteen times. The purpose of this "one formula" is to enhance vital capacity and improve the tension of the human body. The first condition of singing is sound and spirit. Well, do you feel stuffy in your chest, even top-heavy, and your throat is dry? Add some rock sugar to a teaspoon of black tea and review what you wrote last time: "Take a sip and pat your chest. However, there are many places to pat the back today, even on the abdomen, which is very effective for practicing sound and gas.

㈣

The fourth kind. Looking into the distance, you can sing your favorite songs, and when you sing, you can gently press your lower abdomen with your hands, which is the so-called meaning of protecting your abdomen.

Why do you need to gently press the lower abdomen with your hands? This can lead to concentration. People's minds are very erratic. Pressing the lower abdomen is to ensure that the sound is "deep enough", that is, the sound is made in the abdomen.

Now that we have started to pronounce abdominal sounds, it means that we have higher requirements for practicing singing. So, so, please remember that the first, second and third styles must not be neglected.

The voice of dantian is the starting point of a round, bright and beautiful voice. But it really takes a long time to taste the transparent and bright sound. Try to refuel and enter the fifth type.

He Zui "Hum" 1234567i and then "Hum" from the high-pitched area. When practicing vocal music, the ribs on both sides are slightly expanded horizontally, and the voice should be from the lower abdomen to the bridge of the nose, and the throat must be relaxed.

Objective: To develop the * * sound between nasal cavity and oral cavity.

It's another old saying, review the past and learn the new.

㈥

Sixth, vibrato and bouncing sound ━ ━

1. Inhale and take a deep breath.

2. Play the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 I scale with your lips. When vocalizing, the ribs on both sides expand slightly, and the lower abdomen bounces with the lips.

3. The mouth bar is opened in a circle, and the "ha" sound is matched with the abdominal bounce, from 1 to i.

Objective: To cultivate a strong and flexible voice.

(7)

The point is to practice enunciation clearly.

First, adjust the sounding part,

1. clap your chest and clear your mouth.

2. Inhale deeply. When inhaling, the ribs on both sides expand laterally to adjust * * *.

3. Spit out the words "open, neat, pinch and close" loudly. Reason ━ ━ Opening is to open your mouth wide; Qi, make a tooth sound; Pinch to concentrate pronunciation; Harmony means practicing lip sounds.

This is the first step in practicing clear pronunciation. Please remember all kinds of exercises.

(8)

A friend asked, "When I sing out of tune, neither the treble nor the bass can reach.". I want to show my voice, but my mouth is ugly. What should I do? " 」

This is really a great singing regret. Let's make a topic of "out of tune" now.

1. Slowly dilate the diaphragm, inhale deeply, and support not to exhale.

2. When the breath of support reaches the peak, pat it quickly with your hands immediately; Clap your chest and shout with an irregular "ha" sound.

3. Massage the head with both hands with moderate strength to improve the head cavity.

Note: This trick is not a good way for beginners to sing. If you are new here, please start with the first singing method. See you later.

Practice link-

Inhale first. When inhaling, the ribs on both sides stretch slightly. Breathe until you are seven minutes full, because inhaling too deeply and too full is easy to get discouraged.

Sing FA from1-/2-/3-/4-/5-/6-/7-/i.

Repeat the above interval with horse sound, and inhale every four beats.

Remember to breathe in and out quietly when practicing scales, and don't let your voice tremble when you speak.

Objective: This formula is to train the penetrating power of singing.

Artistic characteristics of popular singing

1. Simple voice

The content and form of pop songs are extensive and popular, which makes its singers very well known, that is to say, most of them are people who have not received professional vocal training. Therefore, the use of popular singing between sounds is mostly close to nature, that is, simple and natural sounds. Even in the course of its development, it has absorbed and integrated a variety of vocal art methods, and it is constantly changing and sublimating, but its basic characteristics are still simple. In modern society, many professional pop singers push the level of pop singing to an unprecedented height, but they are very careful to maintain this important artistic feature of pop singing, which makes it different from Bel Canto, which has formed a set of scientific theoretical systems, and also different from various types of national singing with rich cultural accumulation. In a sense, the pure voice is not only a natural form, but also a deliberate pursuit of popular singing methods different from other singing methods.

2. Unique charm

Unique charm is also an important artistic feature of popular singing. Most amateur singers have not received vocal training, and their voice conditions are average, but they still have artistic appeal when singing pop songs. It is precisely because of the popularity and extensiveness of pop singing that they have a pure and moving charm. This charm can be the embodiment of the simple and straightforward singing style of songs; It can also be its unique vocal skills, including the control and release of sound, the contrast of strength and weakness, and the flexible use of air sound, dumb sound, crackling sound and shouting sound; It can also be the true color and essence of emotional expression. In a word, sculpture is a natural charm.

3. Exaggerated performance

In performance, popular singing usually requires clear rhythm, intonation and articulation, but it also often uses the enhancement of voice or body movements to express emotions, that is, it often relies on exaggerated performances and strong accompaniment of electro-acoustic instruments, which is often pushed to the extreme. The atmosphere created by this performance is not only the singer's own investment, but also expanded, which is extremely inflammatory to the surrounding audience. This is the reason why many young people fall for it.

4. Sing while playing, sing and dance.

Singers in popular singing generally pay more attention to the expression of external forms. Some people play and sing with the help of musical instruments (usually guitars), while others sing along with the dance movements. The choice or arrangement of dance movements is designed according to the style and artistic conception of songs. Most popular singers only use gestures or changes in their steps to assist their performances, while some songs are more dances and need to be specially designed for them. The body movements of popular singing are mostly based on some gait and figure of modern dance, such as break dance, Latin dance, disco and space dance. This artistic feature of popular singing can attract young people's participation most.

Three problems of * *

People's voice should be supported by various sounds, which I call the three-dimensional chest, mouth and head cavity. The lowest * * * sound is the chest * * * sound, and you can practice Cleisthenes's barking, which is very low and vigorous. If you hold your chest at this time, you will obviously feel its vibration, its * * * vibration. To make this * * * sound, we should lower our throat and combine the pitch of the throat with the vibration of the trachea and chest. Only by using this * * * sound well can you make your voice loud, vertical and have the characteristics of bel canto. Of course, if you learn folk singing and pop singing, you can turn down the bass a little. Attention, just turn it off, not without it. Only by doing a good bass can your voice have a foundation and a collection capital.

Oral cavity * * * is to open the oral cavity and release this part of the * * * sound. The specific method can be to open the space between the throat and the mouth by swallowing glutinous rice balls. Find * * * Ming again. The * * * sound of the mouth should be relaxed first. Relaxation means relaxing and flattening the base of the tongue. Some people say that the tongue is the enemy of songs, but the pronunciation mechanism of China people is complicated, and using the root of the tongue as an auxiliary language plays a great role. The pronunciation of China's plays is also based on clear articulation, which makes some singers lose their voices because of articulation. If you find someone has difficulty singing, nine times out of ten, his tongue is tight. The test method is to press the base of Bazhong tongue with my finger (I use my thumb) to see if it is tight.

There are many ways to relax the base of the tongue. My practice is: please spit out all your tongue and shake your head left and right to make it shake. It's tight if you don't shake it. Be careful to make your tongue square rather than sharp. With the relaxation of the tongue, practice high and middle notes. At this time, the tongue is no longer outside the mouth and cannot be taken back. Accustomed to singing without using the tongue, I put my tongue back into my mouth bit by bit, and finally my tongue completely returned to its original position. In order to prevent it from repeating the same trick, please press your tongue on your lower teeth when you speak to prevent your tongue from shrinking backwards and blocking the vocal tract.

It is worth mentioning that attention should be paid to using facial expressions to help lift the uvula in the mouth. Small tongue is above the pharynx, and sometimes he feels soft when he catches a cold. Small tongue should be mentioned consciously, so that the oral cavity can have room for upward development. It solves the problem of small tongue and is easier to make.

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the voice of * * *. Some people say that we have many loudspeakers over our heads. If we open them, there will be a noise. This kind of speaker is located in our head cavity and cheeks, where there are some cavities, which can be used as the * * * box of head sound.

How to make yourself feel the subtle changes in sound quality? I'll give you a hint: the first time people listen to their own recordings, they will say, is that me? The root of this doubt lies in that you usually listen to your own voice through the solid (your bones), while listening to the recording is listening to your own voice through the air. This is your real voice, your voice that others have been hearing. We want to know the small change of our voice, so we'd better listen to the recording. Sometimes, we also use the method of "big ears" to listen directly, that is, our hands are pointed at the corner, the reflection of the wall and the "big ears" expand the auricle area, so that we can hear the true colors of our voice clearly.

The practice of * * * singing should be in the high-pitched area, specifically, it should be in the area above D2 to make the voice sound good. Mobilize all the organs on the face that help pronunciation, raise eyebrows, stare, shrug your nose, grind your teeth, and lift all the facial organs that emit high notes. After the sound comes out of the pharynx, it is led to the junction of hard jaw and nasopharynx, so that half of the sound is released from the mouth to form a pitch, and the other half is released upward from the nasal cavity, which drives the sphenomandibular sinus to vibrate to form a * * * sound. This kind of pitch with overtone reinforcement and support will make you feel that your voice is suddenly enlightened. This is the head cavity we are going to sing. At this time, when you touch your nose and eyes with your hands, there will be vibration, and sometimes vibration will appear on your head. Finally, we will turn on the speakers provided by each of us, and the wonderful head sound will make your singing more beautiful.

The * * * sounds of chest cavity, mouth cavity and head cavity cannot be used alone in their respective ranges, but should be mixed in a certain proportion. Open your head when singing bass, and leave a little chest when singing treble. This "stereo" has no transition, and others sound more natural, unified and smooth. Of course, special singing methods such as York harmony and treble singing are another matter. They artificially divide the singing areas to make them have special effects and serve special songs. This is different from the "three-dimensional" I mentioned above.

Vocal music teaching is a course to systematically cultivate students' skills, art and professional ideological education. Through years of teaching, scientific research and artistic practice, the author has made some discussions and studies on the skill structure, training, knowledge structure and research methods of vocal music major. I hope to inspire and help the students who are already studying or preparing to study vocal music, and also hope to discuss and exchange vocal music with the majority of vocal music teachers.
