Where is Jacky Cheung's singing technique?

The first part of the singing skills, the second part of the story of Jacky Cheung, some things and singing related

Singing is an art, in order to improve the children's ability to express the song, should be given to the training of their singing skills, the training includes: singing posture, breathing, vocalization and biting the word and other aspects of the requirements.

I, singing posture

Correct singing posture, not only is the singer's good state of mind performance, but also relates to the use of breath, *** sound regulation and the effect of singing, in the training, the students should be allowed to develop good singing habits, so that the two eyes look at the God, jaw inward, the neck is straight and not tense, the spine is straight, the abdomen is slightly closed, the waist is stable.

Two, singing in the breathing

First of all, inhalation, when doing breathing exercises, first do a good job in the correct singing posture, keep the waist straight, chest and shoulders loose, head freely, eyes looking away, from the heart to the face of the expression are full of love, and then, "a sigh of relief" so that the chest relaxation, inhalation, the mouth slightly When inhaling, the mouth is slightly opened, the hard and soft palate is lifted, and with the action of lifting the eyebrows, it is very excited to have the waist as the main back, and the waist is loosened outward, so that the gas can naturally and smoothly "flow in" so that there is a "sense of qi" in the waist and back, and there is a sense of broadness in the chest naturally. The above actions are felt by "yawning".

But the exhalation is not allowed to be too deep, otherwise the chest and abdomen stiffness, affecting the flexibility of the voice and the accuracy of the pitch, inhalation should not be sound, on the contrary, not only affects the artistic effect of the singing, but also make the inhalation is not easy to be deep, affecting the breath of the support, so in daily life, we should develop the habit of expansion of the two ribs, the abdomen is slightly closed.

Three, vocal exercises are a comprehensive basic skills training, learning to sing must start with the most basic vocal exercises.

1, do get the breath pivot point of the exercise, the experience of suction and sound with the use of scientific humming method, experience and regulate their own singing **** Ming.

2, learn to open your mouth to sing, the upper and lower teeth loose, have a loose jaw "drop feeling" tongue loose against the lower teeth.

3, sing the octave, from low to high, vowel not broken and sing, mouth and throat cavity at the same time from small to large open.

4, the breath is smooth with the sound of a round, smooth and free sound.

Four, biting, spitting accurate, clear

Pronunciation exercises, in the final analysis, is to sing the song more perfect, so must pay attention to biting, spitting clear, correctly grasp the language of the echoes, clear the structure of the Chinese language law, the song tune and biting and spitting combined with the practice. When practicing singing, each word in accordance with the outgoing lead to a long return to the rhyme of the biting method, read a few times, and then combined with vocal exercises, with the word with the voice, and strive to achieve the word correctly, the voice and emotion, singing the focus point of the vowel, should be as close as possible to the centralized point of the vocal area, so that the three vocal areas of the **** sounding to be articulated and flexibly adjusted.

Singing art is a combination of sound and literature art, we sing good songs, can not only talk about the sound, do not talk about feelings, and vice versa, we should be the ideological content of the song, the expression of the method, as well as the author of the lyrics, songs of the times, have a comprehensive understanding of the analysis, and then appropriate processing, the artistic image of the song accurately and completely reproduced to achieve the feelings of the sound with the sound, the sound of the feelings.

How to sing high notes

One of the human singing instincts

You have heard the dirge of the blind girl on a rainy night, right? You've also heard happy men and women singing mountain songs in duets, right? These people have never had any vocal training, and their songs are just as moving, because they utilize their natural singing instincts. Everything I said earlier about breathing, vocalization, ****ing, soprano voice, everything is based on natural conditions, along with all the physical conditions that come with nature. Unfortunately, we tend to abandon this natural conditions, and to find some "shortcuts", "secret", that is very sad thing.

Singers in singing, the role of the larynx belongs to, but the heart can also sway it. In singing, the action of the larynx is completely spontaneous, singers sing, want to sing what sound, vocal tension and oscillation times will be completely with the mind to match. The vocalization is of course accompanied by the rapid force of the diaphragm, the abdominal muscles, the ribs, the larynx and the tongue. A newborn baby, who knows nothing of these things, can put those forces to good use. When he cries, he cries sadly; and when he laughs, he makes pleasant tones. Thus it is proved that life is inherently endowed with a natural ability to use our voices freely and with expression.

Two, shout out the high notes first

When we do any kind of exercise, such as pushing a lead ball, we must first have the strength to lift it. People who practice martial arts practice picking up water first in order to increase the strength of their hands and feet, and it is only after they have the strength of their hands and feet that they can dance with a big sword without it flying out of their hands.

Our vocal cords, to be able to resist the high pressure sent up from below, can pronounce words. Some people ask if shouting will happen when the vocal cords make sounds under high pressure, and if they will shout through the vocal cords. No. As long as you maintain the correct breathing and singing posture, you will not break your vocal cords. As for the position of the treble and cover the problem, your treble has not yet shouted out and how to determine its position?

We start by shouting down, half a tone up, #f2, g2, #g2 until, five tones into a group. Do not start to shout too much, because at first your breathing and singing posture may not be right, to sing while correcting, and so on all aspects of the match is good, may wish to shout some more. When #g2 is sung well, a2 is another way of breathing. We know that when we sing high notes, we have to press the breath up in a high-pressure way, and we actually have to use the breath of the waist at this point (see next section), and after we've shouted #a2 with the breath of the waist, we can then shout descending #b2 with the same breath.

Generally speaking, the high notes of people who sing soprano voices are innate, it's just that we don't go to use them. A girl who has never had vocal training can usually only sing up to f2, but when she suddenly encounters a horrible thing, he can't help but scream, and that scream may reach f3 in highC, but normally she wouldn't be able to produce such a high note anyway. So don't be apprehensive, be bold enough to scream at a high pitch, it pays to do it more often.

Three, breathing and posture

If we also have the opportunity to stumble upon a very surprising thing and lose our voice and scream, we must remember the posture of that shout, and then use it to sing the high notes, that's right.

Singing the high notes, unlike singing the low notes, involves pressurizing the air into a thin line that strikes the vocal cords. When the strength of the diaphragm has been used to the apex and it is not possible to pressurize it, waist strength is necessary. As mentioned earlier, the lobes of the lungs are larger than the lung tips, i.e. the bottom is larger than the top, and the top lung tips are expanded outward by the ribs. To use lumbar force, you first cross your waist with your hands (you don't need to pay attention to your abdominal muscles at this time, it will work naturally during inhalation), inhale the air around your waist, feel the front and back of your waist expanding, and then close the air in (open your mouth wide, see figure 7), force your waist and ribs inward, and lift your chest upward, and you'll feel the pressure press down on your palate.

As I said before, f2 - #g2 we use the contraction of the abdominal muscles to increase the pressure, and when we get to a2, we use the waist force, and when we get to descending b2, since only a small amount of air is needed (but with high pressure air), just open your upper lip as if you were yawning, showing a little bit of the upper teeth, and with the tip of the tongue flat on the lower teeth, you will be able to sing descending b2. From b2 down and above, to the notes above highC, the method is the same as b2 down.

Here is another example of singing high notes with the force of waist production.

Singing soprano with the force of the waist is equal to filling a long balloon with air, and then pinching the lower half with your hand, then the upper half of the training is distended, which is like the diaphragm has risen to the apex, and can't go up any further. We will be waist full of air, and then the entire waist and the following open ribs inward, chest out, as if the role of the hand pinch the balloon, resulting in a strong, rising airflow, and this is what we sing soprano to use.

Four, Close and cover

Once upon a time when I was learning to sing, when I sang a high note, I had to Close! At that time, I was really "in a fog", and this word is still used in China. Because of the confusion about the true meaning of Close, I don't know how many tenors have been harmed and how many good voices have been spoiled.

My insight into Close is that it closes the ****ing sound box below and opens the ****ing sound box above. When we sing high notes we need head **** chirping, and that raises the soft lid. We open the upper lip in order to raise the soft lid, and at the same time, we have to use our waist strength to open the soft lid. As for the term "masking" used by some people in China today, I think it is better, it means that the soprano should not be too white, but more or less masked, as if there is a bowl on the top, covering the soprano.

I have asked many teachers for help in interpreting Close, but to no avail. Then I went to Italy and asked one teacher, and the answer was: we have never heard of this word in Italy. How do you sing when you are "closed"? As for today, we use "cover" instead of "close" to explain Close, which is very wise. When we sing high notes, our palate is lifted upward, the soft lid of the mouth is raised (yawn-like), and the air pressure is pushed upward and gathered to the top, forming a domed space like a church, that is, letting the gas fill up the space, so as to produce a beautiful high note. If the top is not open, the air does not go up, where is the high note? Therefore, the use of the word "cover" also means that the sound is concentrated upwards. We can do another experiment to find this feeling: when we yawn, we will feel a cool sensation on the upper jaw (which we usually can't feel), that is, there is a space above, and the breath also goes in.

Fifth, the higher the easier

When we practiced b2, we should say that we have broken through the difficulties of the high notes, and can easily sing b2, c3, #c3, d3, because the method of singing these notes and the method of singing b2 does not live separately. When you sing b2, your throat is already smaller, because the wider you open your mouth, the smaller your throat becomes, so you don't have to be afraid of higher notes, all you need is a sharp breath to support the high notes, and a sharp breath is obtained by practicing the breath hard in the usual way.

Sixth, fulcrum and confrontation

If we lift a stone burden with both hands, our feet are stepping downward, and the land is acting as an upward buttress; our hands are pushing upward, and the burden is pressing downward. Thus there are forces in four directions, a confrontation between the feet and the ground, and a confrontation between the hands and the stone burden. Our human body is equal to the column of qi, and the belly and the vocal cords are the two fulcrums of the breath. The breath is blocked by the vocal cords, so there is also the problem of "force" confrontation. So, does the fulcrum of the lower abdomen change during singing? If there is a change, is it upward or downward? There is a debate about this.

While singing, the breath keeps flowing outward, and the column of air is getting shorter and shorter, and at the same time, the abdomen is also brought inward to help compress the lungs to produce a certain amount of flow to exhale. In this case, how can the "fulcrum" always be placed in a fixed place, and not with the use of breath upward movement? But we must not forget that although the "fulcrum" is constantly moving upward with the exhalation of the breath, we must still maintain the force of the downward pressure. Imagine, if we want to get something high up, stretching the hand still can not get, then we have to cushion a box under the feet, if still can not get, can only add another box, so that the "fulcrum" is not raised? How is it possible to stop at the bottom and not move?

I heard a soprano soloist in Singapore, who was representing Canada on a tour of various countries. But when she got to the high notes, her neck was stretched out in a way that made people uncomfortable. It turned out that she specialized in German Lied, the German school of singing advocates that the "fulcrum" is always in the abdomen. How can you sing a soprano voice and stretch the pipes so long?

We look at the principle of the pump described earlier, the piston handle is constantly pushed upward, and the piston is gradually up to maintain the pressure of the barrel, the breath from the mouth of the barrel out. If the pump is compared to the human body singing activities, that is, the diaphragm and the vocal folds of the distance is getting shorter and shorter, so the fulcrum is gradually changing position, how can the old stop in a fixed place not move?

Seven, with tools to test

With a piece of wood, the length of our shoulders than some of the width of the width than the length of our shoes slightly wider than the corners of the four corners of a hole, with two ropes through the holes, the length of the rope and our fingers hanging down at the same level (refer to Figure VIII). We stand on the plank, take a breath, then hold it closed, open our mouth wide and pull the rope hard enough to feel what is meant by confrontation. At this point, our feet increase the confrontation with the ground, but also the breath in the body and the vocal folds, so that the high notes come out more easily. We can also use Coca-Cola empty aluminum canisters (empty beer canisters), cut into aluminum pieces like the size of a postage stamp, the two pieces of aluminum together (with the hand to make the aluminum pieces slightly curved a little bit), so that there is a seam in the aluminum pieces together. Then clip a piece of old silk cloth (folded to the width of three matches) to one end of the aluminum piece, and then tie the aluminum piece together with a wire to make a whistle. You try to blow a bass, and then a treble, from this comparison you can feel the breath and posture of singing a high note

How to sing

I, breath

Saying this topic, it is a bit bewildering, because it is the worst thing to express in words. Before I sang, I practiced American voice for two years, which gave me a deep insight that the breath foundation helped me a lot. Generally speaking, people who have not studied vocal music have a very flat voice, which is pronounced in the usual speaking position (voice), and we call it a "white" voice, with no color and no filtration. Here is how I would like to express the method of practicing the American voice.

The voice should be rooted in the small of the back of the abdomen. Imagine that the voice goes through the back of the spine, to the back of the head, to the back of the mouth, and that the whole voice should be upright and backward. Please find the feeling: you bite an apple, showing the upper teeth, in a bite down at the same time, make a "hmm" sound, feel the sound in the back of the mouth and the upper part of the nasal cavity position, this is the sound of the voice of the United States of America, a *** sound point. Next, the breath sinking, abdominal expansion, slightly in the abdomen, a top, in the position just now sound, male voice throat pressure down, female voice more focus on the sound in the back of the head on the position, you will find that the sound is more than before to most of the time. Often practice against the wall to help voice, because against the wall can contact your backbone, so that you are more likely to find the feeling, and the chest cavity of the **** sound and wall **** vibration, so that you are more likely to find the feeling of the chest cavity of the **** sound. First from the "m ~ mom" practice, gradually rise, help practice the breath of the treble; and then from high to low practice, so repeatedly, one day you will find the feeling. American voices pay attention to "translucent", often imagine that their voices are vertical, not flat; also pay attention to the "*** sound", the voice through the chest or chest above the *** sound, will be very round, full. To experience *** Ming, you can do: close your mouth, issued a "hmm" sound, a little deep feeling, "hmm" a little longer, you will feel the head and chest in the vibration, if the breath is good, this *** Ming will give your voice a lot of color. Listen carefully to some of the taller Americans speak, you will know what is called chest **** sound (foreigners chest structure is more likely to produce **** sound).

Another thing I'd like to mention is lung capacity, singers need a large lung capacity to sing, such as some very long, not change the breath of a certain melody, but do not sing after the red face, just gasping for air. Lung capacity should be exercised regularly in order to maintain. There are also certain skills that can make up for the lack of lung capacity. First of all, we need to practice breath, a good vocal method it can be very good control of the flow of sound through the voice, such as singing to "...... not afraid of you betraying me ......" this sentence, the breath of the unstable The singer may sing the sound of the word "afraid" in a blasting manner, and then put the original insufficient lung capacity of the gas to run away, if there is a long sentence behind the non-exchange of breath does not suffocate him to death only strange. And breath good singer can control the flow of these bursts of sound, singing the microphone will not appear some fluttering sound. So I suggest that you put a candle in front of your mouth when you practice your voice, and try to keep the candle from shaking when you practice your voice, right? That way your breath will stay inside you longer. Think about whether you hold your breath longer by exhaling all the way out or by holding it in and not letting it out. Of course, this also requires the singer to be relaxed and not nervous, and when you are nervous, your heart beats faster, and your breath becomes more stabilized

There's only so much I can say here, and it's all about perception. However, I want to remind you that practicing is the basis of singing pop songs, do not use the method of practicing straight interpretation of pop songs, that would be too pretentious, like Yan Weiwen singing "nothing".

On the use of voice in pop songs, my point of view is that as long as the mood of the song to meet, to shout to break is not bad, but these are absolutely prohibited in the American voice, so we have to take advantage of the shortcomings, because we are not in order to sing in the American voice and the American voice, we are in order to sing a good popular voice to practice the American voice, like martial arts to practice the same as the horse stance, have you ever seen a fight crouched in a horse stance to beat it?

A friend said that this expression is difficult to understand, I have to say that the pop singer who's breath is very permeable, just according to the feeling to learn easier to comprehend, this is also an effective method. Personally, I think, female singers you listen to more "Zhang Huimei", she was born through the breath; male singers on the more speculation on the "Man Manjun", he is really rely on the breath in the singing, in addition, Jacky Cheung's breath is very good, but for teaching.

Second, high pitch

This is a favorite question of friends, in their words, because the high pitch "enough drag", huh? To add to this, there are many aspects to good singing, and you can't say that the higher the treble, the better the singing. Indeed, a good treble can give the climax of the song to add rendering power, but advise friends not to only know the value of the treble and ignore the bass, in fact, full of bass is also very infectious

Singing a high pitch, the breath must be to the abdomen, Dantian as the foundation of the Peking Chamber of Commerce, "Dantian gas" is also referred to as this! The voice position is also referred to in the Peking Opera.

Looking for the feeling 1: If you are a girl, there is suddenly a mouse on the shoes, what will you do? You would probably let out a long "ah~" sound, with a "falsetto" vocal position. After you calm down, you will "ah ~" a look, most of them can no longer "ah" up. Why? Because the moment you are startled, your belly is tensing up (think of the feeling of being startled, isn't your whole body tense?). Because of this foundation, coupled with a strong air flow (can be interpreted as singing breath), straight to the throat, the voice is not high. Therefore, you can understand the feeling of soaring high notes as "nervous", "invigorated", remember, everything to the abdomen as the foundation, to sing high notes is not to lift up the head to pull upward, is to feel the center of gravity down a kind of rebound force.

Find the feeling 2: ever seen a rubber hose? Want the water in the hose to soar farther how to do? Pinch the front end of the hose, a small gap, the pressure increases, the water rushes farther. In fact, soprano does not necessarily have to be very loud, some singers sing a lot of sound when singing soprano, we say that is with strength and lung capacity in singing, rather than in the use of breath and skill in singing. Think of the faucet theory and you should be able to glean something.

Find the feeling 3: There's a big rock on the ground, lift it up. As soon as you bend down, your mouth counts: "one, two, three, go ......", I think the word "go" you must have used the breath. I'm not going to say any more, feel it, what's heavy around you ...... huh? These are just some of the ways I've created to get you to feel the breath, not formal, but very effective.

We also want to tell you that the ability to perform high notes with your own voice conditions, if the voice is born with a high pitch is a great advantage, such as "Sun Nan" is a typical high voice, high pitch rendition will not be so laborious. The singer's voice condition is not good, we have to rely on a lot of breath and method, but no matter whether the voice condition is good or bad, the voice is through the breath to sing, just like cigarettes to pass through the filter, the sound will be more beautiful to filter.

In addition, I also tell you a psychological method, high notes imagine that you are in the face of the vast sea singing, can not see the edge of the sea and the sky, such scenery is not worth you shouting?

Three ways to exercise lung capacity

There are many reasons why the lung capacity test values have been declining over the years, and one of the main reasons is the lack of effective physical exercise methods and insufficient time for physical exercise. There are many ways to exercise your lung capacity, three of which are briefly described below.

Method one Regularly do some chest expansion, arm vibration and other unarmed exercises.

Method two, endurance running exercises, pay attention to adhere to the regular, running and breathing with, distance appropriate, intensity should not be large.

Method three practice diving or swimming, in the water, not only the arm to keep paddling, but also to overcome the resistance of the water breathing, is a good way to exercise to improve lung capacity.

There are many other ways to improve lung capacity: playing soccer, basketball, running back and so on. It is important to note that no matter which method you choose, you need to practice consistently and often in order to be effective.

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