How to shout, how to practice your voice

The first stage: practice before making a sound.

The research data show that under normal circumstances, people breathe 16- 19 times per minute, and each breathing process lasts about 3 or 4 seconds. Sometimes when singing, the breath is prolonged by more than ten seconds, and the inhalation time is short and the exhalation time is long. Therefore, we must master the essentials of keeping the breath in the lungs and exhaling slowly, so we must first do:

(1) "Deep Breathing and Slow Breathing Control Extension Exercise". The key points are: first learn to "store gas", first compress gas to discharge waste gas, then treat the gap between the nose and the tip of the tongue as "sniffing flowers", breathe freely naturally and lightly until it is full, then sink into the abdomen, slowly relax the chest ribs, and make the gas exhale slowly like a long stream of water, and breathe evenly. The longer the control time, the better. Repeat the exercise 4-6 times.

(2) "Deep Breathing and Slow Breathing Digital Practice" We call the first step "Suction and Push". The breath of "sucking" is inward, and the breath of "pushing" is outward and downward. At the same time, we do breathing extension exercises. We recommend three training methods: a. Counting exercise: "Suction" is the same as before. While "pushing", count the number "123456789 10" softly and quickly, and count it repeatedly until you run out of gas, and see how many times you can count it repeatedly. B. "Counting the dates" exercise: "Sucking" is the same as before. At the same time of "pushing", I whispered, "Go out of the east gate and cross the bridge. There is a jujube under the bridge. Hit dates with bamboo poles. A jujube is more green and less red (full of breath). One date, two dates, three dates, four dates, five dates, five dates ... until this breath runs out, see how many dates you can count. Repeat 4-6 times. C. the practice of counting gourds: "sucking" is the same as before. At the same time of "pushing", read softly: "Golden gourd, silver gourd, one breath is only 24 gourds (full breath), one gourd, two gourds, three gourds ..." Repeat this breathing for 4-6 times until you are exhausted. Count the numbers, "jujube" and "gourd" to control the breath, so the more you practice, the more you control it. Never run out of breath. There will be pain in the abdomen at first, and after a period of practice, you will consciously make great progress.

(3) After the breathing practice of "deep breathing, slow breathing and long tone practice", the voice began to gradually join. This exercise is still based on practicing qi, supplemented by vocalization. At the same time, choose a middle and low-pitched area, where boys pronounce "ah" gently (loud "ah" is consistent with practicing qi) and girls pronounce "yi" gently (small voice pronounces "yi" to make it. Hold it in one breath, and the sound outlet is cylindrical and wavy, which can be long or long and can be practiced repeatedly.

(4) "Holding the gas to practice" This is a half-practice of sound and gas. Put your hands on your waist or protect your abdomen. Hold your breath in your abdomen, and at the same time rush out to your forehead and throat and make a sound. The sound is dominated by bass and elasticity, and the abdomen and diaphragm pop out at the same time under tensile force. We introduce three exercises: A. Hold your breath in one breath and quickly "scratch, scratch" (repeatedly) in your mouth. When the sound is used up, there will be a "bang" staccato. Repeat 4-6 times. Stretch your feet in one breath, first slowly, then quickly pronounce "haha" (repetition) (acceleration) hahaha ... "Practice has explosive staccato, and" haha ... "Laughter", "aha" and "cough" are commonly used in singing. C. Stretch your feet in one breath, slowly and then quickly pronounce "hey-rough, hey-rough" (repeated and gradually accelerated) and "hey-rough, hey-rough ..." until your strength is exhausted, and practice repeatedly. After this stage of practice, qi is the foundation of sound, and qi is the handsome breath of sound. The "place where qi can accommodate" has been basically excited and active, while sound has been brewing protection. On this basis, you can begin to prepare for the sound practice.

The second stage: the practice of qi, sound and words.

Opera actors, especially Beijing opera actors, including opera lovers, are prone to make mistakes in singing. They wish they couldn't shout a loud and bright voice soon, and rushing to shout high notes, fierceness and even wildness often backfired. When we study vocal music practice, it is beneficial to practice the breath first, and we need to make clear a gradual law and persevere. In this third stage, we suggest that we should not rush to climb scales and shout high notes, but practice from the combination of qi, sound and words. The relationship between them should be arranged in this order: qi is sound, sound is cavity, cavity is word, word is word, and word is emotion. As can be seen from this order, the position of the word is in the middle, the sound and cavity are in front, and the word and emotion are in the back. If it crashes, the whole game will be lost. The truthfulness of pronunciation determines the roundness of sound, and it is this principle that "words speak for themselves". The relationship between words, sounds and qi in shouting practice should be that "qi" is fully supported, "sound" is accurately recognized, and "word" is truly bitten.

The specific methods are as follows: enlarge and slow down the prefix, abdomen and suffix with Chinese pinyin, practice pronunciation with Chinese characters, and then speed up, while practicing the flexibility of mouth, lips, teeth, tongue and throat.

(1) lip sound practice: (slow down first, enlarge and repeat, and gradually speed up to tongue twister) 801 marks, one soldier rushing-one north slope, one north slope, one gun, one soldier running-one gun, one soldier, one fear, one mark, one soldier, one touch, one gun, one gun, one shot.

(2) Dental practice (method as above) 44, 10, 144, 40, not 1440, not 44.

(3) Tongue pronunciation practice (the method is the same as above) Liu Laoliu, 66 years old, pushes 60 or 70 large oil baskets, 66 weeping willows, and tied 66 big horse monkeys.

(4) throat exercise (the method is the same as above) There are tigers in front of the mountain and monkeys at the foot of the mountain. Tigers drive away monkeys, and monkeys beat tigers. Tigers can't drive out monkeys, and monkeys can't fight tigers.

(5) Tongue pronunciation practice (method as above) There is a lame man in the south of the street, holding a plate in his right hand and eggplant in his left hand; Someone pouted in the street. The nail tripped the lame man, and his right hand dropped the plate and his left hand threw the eggplant.

⑥ 13-way wind training (Middle East) urging (ash heap) a summer heat (Su) a line (17) a lotus (Sobo) a flower (blooming) a thank (slanting) autumn (seeking) a cool (Jiangyang) a cloud (people) a high (distant) a wild goose (words)

With this exercise, you can tell which sound is round and which one is dry, and get it right. The exercises of qi, sound and words are very practical and effective.
