Singing recording is a set of singing art and computer hardware and software sound technology in one of the integrated things, so to make their own singing voice better, first of all, you need to have a very good singing ability and music cultivation and the necessary conditions of the voice, and secondly, we also have to have a considerable Computer technology knowledge and sound control ability. How to make their own singing wonderful and recorded sound is great, this is a lot of friends, especially on the recording of friends do not understand the eagerness to understand the problem. Have been due to work reasons have not had time to discuss this issue with you. Today I am writing this in the hope that I can share with my friends some of my feelings about singing, combined with my vocal expertise that I studied in college, and discuss this issue with you.
The first part of the first talking about singing techniques, the second part of the second talking about recording techniques, the third part of the third talking about singing consciousness, sense of music and * often maintenance common sense. Welcome to discuss and correct!
The first part of the first part of the singing technology, the first thing to point out is that no matter how good your equipment, technical level of how high, can not replace the flexible and extremely elastic changes in the singing technique. Singing technique is the key to impressing others with your work.
A singing technology:
(a) Pitch and rhythm
There are many basic expressions of music, but the most important are pitch, rhythm, timbre, speed, strength, harmony and so on. The most important ones here are pitch and rhythm. It can be said that the pitch and rhythm is the fundamental of a musical work. If we want to sing a song well, singing the pitch correctly and singing the rhythm steadily is the most fundamental and the most basic content. Without this thing as a guarantee, everything else will be inferior, and produce a bad pitch or rhythm is not the right reason there are many, I summarize may have the following points:
(1) lack of musical sense leads to pitch or rhythm grasp is not good. Music is an aural art, and as an art there is talent and perception. Because we are not the same degree of sensitivity and ability to feel the music, so the formation of the pitch feeling and rhythm of the cognitive grasp of the differences. This is objective. Therefore, due to the lack of ability to recognize pitch and rhythm, you will not be able to recognize and feel your own pitch and rhythm when you sing. This kind of situation should be said to still exist, not many in 163888. You can try this method: make a melody on an instrument with a fixed pitch, and see if you can imitate and hum it, or play a rhythm to see if you can clap it out with the palm of your hand. This is a way to test your musical literacy. Friends with this problem should listen to the original works, carefully and seriously analyze the song pitch and rhythm, you can try to listen to more and more with the way to sing slowly to a kind of "song does not leave the mouth" state, the pitch and rhythm will slowly and accurately up. For those who have this problem, it takes a lot of patience and effort. But you will find a kind of joy of learning music in this process!
(2) Poor singing technique leads to poor pitch or rhythm.
The sense of recognizing pitch and rhythm is there, but not having a more correct technical approach can also lead to inaccurate pitch and unstable rhythm. For example, in my university studies there is a student is a clear example: he was raised to learn the piano, piano technology is great, generally from the elementary school piano people for the pitch and rhythm of the judgment to be absolutely stronger than ordinary people, and in the school of his ear training is also very good (Note: ear training is a musical discipline, mainly to train the ear for the ability to determine the pitch), but he sang is always out of tune, for the shrimp it? This is because he is not learning vocal music, in singing technology can not reach a good state, the breath run wild, pulling the voice, of course, the sound is not allowed to the rhythm of the mess! So the consciousness is not enough, but also a certain singing technique to achieve "God shape unity". If this is the case, friends should pay attention to more training of their breath and voice, so that the pitch and rhythm can reach the standard required by the heart!
In addition to the above two cases, there are other cases such as recording because of technical problems that lead to the ear not hearing the accompaniment and so on will also be to the pitch and rhythm of the problem, later will be mentioned in the next article.
(B) Singing Technology
(A) Breathing and Breath
Everyone who has studied physics knows that the physical cause of sound is the impact of external factors on the object, which generates vibration and thus produces different lengths of sound waves, which cause the surrounding air to vibrate and thus produce sound, thus the driving force behind singing is breathing. A good use of breath can bring the physical properties of the vocal cords into better play, thus producing a good and complete song. Therefore, the use of breath is one of the most important techniques in singing. (Several methods of breathing are named in common terms)
1. Sighing Inhalation:
As we all know, sighing is a very common phenomenon in *common life*, which is relaxing and downward. It facilitates the relaxation of the inhalation muscle groups for better inhalation of breath. The specific method is to sigh first and then inhale, you are mainly thinking about sighing, not inhaling. When the breath is expelled with the "sigh", the expiratory muscles have finished their work, and then the inhalatory muscles will immediately start their work - inhaling - and the cycle is automatic. If you are thinking about inhaling, your inhalation muscles will always be in a state of work and will not be able to relax, and it will be difficult for the breath to be inhaled properly. Note: Inhale wherever you sigh, and do not make forced movements. Keep the feeling of sighing during the song, and do the same for each phrase to form a good breathing cycle. Below, we will practice the sighing inhalation in conjunction with the singing of the song. Try to sigh (exhale) as much as you can before you get ready to sing, and start singing as soon as the breath has been naturally inhaled.
2. Smell the flowers:
Smelling the flowers makes it easier to inhale deeply, and without the huffing and puffing and extra movement that comes with inhalation, it's easier to experience and master. When smelling flowers, because the scent of flowers makes one's mood particularly pleasant, and when identifying the scent of flowers requires particular care and attention, it is a feeling of relaxation and excitement at the same time. The specific inhalation is: the upper body is completely relaxed, the waist is comfortably loosened, and then there is a sense of relaxation in the chest, and the space in the body is enlarged so that the breath flows in naturally. This kind of inhalation is both relaxed and moderate, and after inhalation, people are very excited and have a sense of spaciousness in the chest. The feeling of this inhalation is used to sing, the breath is smooth and the voice is rounded.
Wen Hua style can be open or closed, closed mouth can not be closed too tight, too tight will affect the speed and flexibility of the intake of air. When practicing inhalation alone, you can inhale with your mouth closed. When singing, it is better to open your mouth naturally and inhale through your nose at the same time. Whether it is closed mouth or open mouth and nose at the same time inhale, the key is to experience the breath into the body when the feeling.
3. Surprise inhalation
Surprise inhalation is to utilize the rapid response of the physiology of a person in surprise to achieve the purpose of rapid inhalation. This kind of inhalation is both fast and deep, it can make the respiratory muscle groups in an instant to complete the cycle of contraction and relaxation, can exercise the rapid flexibility of the respiratory organs. This kind of inhalation is also called "gasping". It is also known as "gasping", which is more effective in expressing anger and emotion.
(Breathing several methods of partial reference to the Central Conservatory of Music thesis)
Why such a name to name this breathing method, mainly so that we can be more familiar with the state of life to grasp the requirements of the singing breath, but there is a point to be made, the singing of the breath is definitely a special breath, can not be completely equivalent to the life of the breath. How to use the breath is the highest state, I personally think that can serve the mood of the song, to achieve the highest level of freedom. Therefore, different songs have different breath requirements, there are mainly a few:
(1) fast inhalation and slow exhalation: some songs between the phrases of the switch between fast, small mouth, but the development of phrases and a long time this requires fast inhalation and slow exhalation, for example, the red *, which requires full excitement when breathing, the diaphragm to be active and strong, and exhaling to have a balanced and integrated. This is one of the most difficult cases.
The specific method is: inhale sharply, after a slight pause, exhale slowly. You can experience it like this: Imagine a very good friend, who has been away for a long time, suddenly appearing in front of you, and stopping at this state as you draw in a breath of surprise, almost shouting out. After a few seconds, it is as if an external force pushes the belly backward, and you feel the breath slowly exhale as the belly fights against this external force. At this time the diaphragm strongly plays a supporting role. (2) Slow inhalation and quick exhalation: some songs are written in short phrases, with a big mouth, but the development of the phrases is small, so when you sing, you have time to prepare your breath, but when you exhale, you need to be quick and not procrastinate. Clear and direct.
(3) Slow inhalation and exhalation: this is mainly found in some slow version of love songs, because the song is not proceeding fast and the whole melody is written in a long way, so you can inhale fully and chant slowly. The difficulty in the middle of this is that you can't just move your breath, although this situation is not too difficult for the breath requirement but once you move your breath, it will produce a situation where the pitch is not right the rhythm is not right or the sound does not feel right. The author occasionally have this problem. So in this case, the breath is more demanding in terms of persistence and stability.
(4) fast inhale and exhale: this situation is mainly in some fast-paced songs. Even the strength of the requirements.
Relative to the above three, this is relatively easy.
This is singing breathing several situations, you can according to their own situation according to their own familiar songs and meet the above situation of the clip or create some of the four situations in line with the practice of the vocal song to practice, and slowly experience different situations, the breath of the insights and feelings. There are also some simple ways to train the breath, such as some exercises to increase lung capacity, but large lung capacity does not necessarily mean that the breath is used well. The lung capacity to cooperate with the breath of the scientific use of that is like a tiger to add wings.
(B) spitting and vowel
We all know that the final singing voice is the lyrics, then spitting is also an aspect of singing technology. The general requirements of singing language are: accurate and dexterous consonants, good rhyme patterns, natural and timely rhymes, yin and yang go up to be memorized. The weight and urgency must be clearly distinguished, and the tone and gesture must be well handled. The beginning of the word must be accurate, but not dead. When the head of the word bites, it should naturally and timely transition to the belly of the word. After the word belly spit clear, it should be appropriate to close the voice to rhyme, must pay attention to the three articulations, the transition is natural, smooth, and become a whole. In addition, the pinyin should be sung correctly, such as "l" and "n", "flat tongue" and "cocked tongue", "f" and "n", "f" and "f". The "f" and the "h", the "pre-nasal" and the "post-nasal" should be differentiated, and the tones should be accurate.
Every word has a rhyme, in fact, many times we have to practice some of the basic rhymes, and in the singing is the end of the word is attributed to the rhyme of the word, such as the author's best "I" (pronounced a) vowel in the author's "mistake" song inside the better use of the word will be The attribution of words to rhymes is a way to simplify complicated things, and this is what we usually call "returning to rhyme".
(C) ***Sound and Vibrato (also known as overtones)
The main organ of the human body that produces sound is the vocal cords, but if we rely only on the vocal cords to produce sound, our vocal cords are very fragile. The human body is a large structure, is a large cavity, if the vocal cords produce sound, through a certain shock wave and the rest of the body to produce similar frequency *** vibration will greatly enhance the quality and brightness of the sound, which is *** sound.
There are many cavities in the human body, such as nasal cavity, head cavity, abdominal cavity and so on. Generally we *** sound is better to use the head cavity *** sound, because the head cavity *** sound can produce relatively ideal results, we can think of their own vocal cords and mouth and other vocal organs and the head is connected, the sound is thrown upward!
Training *** sound can be combined with rhyme method to train, such as ah vowel suitable for practicing head cavity *** sound, M sound suitable for practicing nasal *** sound, when you feel your body parts and vocal cords to produce a tiny state of numbness that *** sound in the production.
As for we usually use to a lot of vibrato singing, but also the role of the **** sound, due to the **** sound generation, other cavities cause **** vibration, but not exactly and the frequency of the vocal folds do not coincide with the vocal folds, so it will be slightly different from the vocal folds of the pitch, the two acoustic effects hit together will produce a small fluctuation in the sound, which is the vibrato.
The way to train vibrato (overtones) is also to train the *** sound, with the *** sound plus some breath cooperation will naturally produce vibrato (overtones).
(D) psychological regulation and relaxation
Singing is a very advanced physiological and psychological activities, with the correct physiological state is a prerequisite, but the correct psychological state is also essential, and sometimes the psychological state of the poor will lead directly to singing physiological state of change. So a good mental state is also very crucial when singing.
Whether it's recording or singing, there are often friends who feel nervous and in bad shape, including myself. This is when the adjustment of the mental state becomes very important! First of all, you can take the method of association, more associated with their own life and song content expression basically match the life scene, try to let yourself have a life in the mental state. Secondly, you can sing some simple and short vocal exercises or humming songs to fully relax your vocal cords. You can also yawn and put the larynx down to return to a very relaxed state. At the same time, suggesting that their tension can not solve any problem, only relaxed state can be good.
Because the singing technique is a technical activity, it is the same as other technical activities, need a long time to repeat the training repetition, so that the vocal movement of the various movements back to a state of human natural science. And popular popular singing in Chinese music education academic circles have always had some controversy, in a less mature period. Therefore, we still need to think more and more experience more and more feeling, realize belong to their own unique proprietary skills and techniques.
About the recording technology and singing awareness, musicality development and daily maintenance of common sense will be in the next article, but also hope that you can put forward more suggestions, put forward corrections and discussions, so as to throw a brick to attract jade, so that all friends can be improved and progress! Thank you all!
Singing skills (my own experience I hope to help you)
First, the most important thing in singing is not to memorize the melody and lyrics, but to understand the feelings and meaning of the song. Because singing is to express the feelings of the song with our voice and sing it to the audience. Think about it, if we don't have any understanding of the song, if we don't understand the lyrics, I think even if we are good at singing, the song will still be mediocre. 。。。。
Secondly, after listening to many of my friends' recordings, I realized that there is a common problem that I, including myself, have made. The first is that when you sing high notes, especially men, you like to raise the laryngeal knot to a very high position to sing At first, we will think that this singing is more intentional to sing the pitch up In fact, this is not true If we just go after the pitch of the high notes, then the high notes will be very pale after singing out, very fluttering. And when you reach a note, it's very difficult to go higher and it's very easy to break the note. Of course, it's also very harmful to your voice, and you'll lose your voice within a few songs. 。。。。 You'll go from pop to rock. In fact, the vocal position of the soprano is in the back of the upper jaw, and the laryngeal nodes should be pressed downward so that our mouth and nasal cavity will produce **** sound, so that the soprano voice will be more rounded. The so-called soprano to stand and more infectious voice will not be very tired, but also easier to sing high notes.
Thirdly, when we get a song, if the soprano part can't go up, we can't go up. We can use the falsetto first to get the pitch up so that we have a direct idea of the pitch of the note, and then slowly change the falsetto back little by little, never in a hurry. Singing, like everything else, can't be rushed, it needs to be done gradually. If we practice this regularly, it will help us to sing high notes in the future.
The fourth breath I don't know how to say this. When you sing, you'll be able to hear the sound of your stomach, and you'll be able to hear the sound of your heart. I'm not sure how to say it. I'm not sure how to say this, but I think it's a good idea. This is the reason why we sometimes say that you need to sing with your stomach. 。。。。
Fifth, choose the song. I suggest that when you start to sing, try to choose some songs that suit your voice. You can't just pick up a song and sing it regardless of whether it suits you or not. You have to start with the easy ones first, and then gradually increase the difficulty. There are easy ways to sing the same song, and there are hard ways to sing it. You can start by practicing the song you know best and increase the difficulty little by little. 。。。。 Step by step, you will be able to get a good idea of what you want to do. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
Sixth, girls generally do not sing male songs. Because of the different tunings of male and female songs, female songs are usually four tones higher than male songs. Of course, the same applies to men, so don't sing songs with female voices. 。。。。 Unless you can find a new version of the song that suits your voice, then you can sing it. A song, every note, even every dot, is not added for no reason, so a male voice is a male voice. So a man's song is a man's song and a woman's song is a woman's song. You don't want to sing in tandem unless you have a lot of control over your voice, so you can change your voice from real to falsetto. 。。。。
Seventh, when you sing, you must put your own voice out, and you can't keep your voice in your mouth. 。。。。 This is especially true for girls, who may be too shy or embarrassed to sing out their voices, but it's not right. Because you are going to sing. Singing is about getting your voice out, otherwise it's not called singing. When you are singing or recording, you must remember to put your voice out.
Well, that's all I'll say for now. If there is something wrong, you can help point it out, and we can all sing well together. 。。。。。
[Recommended] Singing Breathing Training Methods
Singing Breathing Training Methods ...
Training the abdominal antagonistic force, i.e., the breath holding force
Pouring Ash Breathing
We all have this common sense, if you hold a handful of ash, straight back and pour the ash on the ground at once, what will be the result? The ash spread on the ground will immediately form a column of air rising upwards. With the help of this feeling of pouring ash, we inhale as if the ash were poured onto the ground at once, deep and wide. The ohmin, like the column of air bouncing back from the ground, maintains the feeling of inhalation, and forms an inverted T that twists into a column of air drilling upward. Each phrase should be like this, forming a virtuous breathing cycle, so that the problem of shallow and stiff breath can be overcome in singing. If you inhale shallow and stiff breath, you won't get a good sound effect.
The lower pivot point of inhalation
The lower pivot point is at the diaphragm (the fourth button of the suit), which is also the location of abdominal breathing. When you inhale, you feel that you are inhaling directly from the "lower pivot point" as if the air is not passing through the nose, mouth, or trachea, and you do this every time you inhale, and then you will be able to achieve the inhalation state of abdominal breathing. Of course, I am only talking about the feeling, but not really like that, how is it possible to inhale without passing through the nose, mouth and trachea? Here are just feelings, assumptions and analogies to inspire learners to grasp the scientific method.
Dissolved inhalation method
This method of inhalation is applied when the singer is in a relatively tight state. Because of the dissolved inhalation method is easy to inhale deep, no sound and obvious action, but also easy to experience and master, just in the feeling of the limbs are early dissolved, lumbar and cervical spine do not relax. Inhalation of further training, do not close the mouth too tightly, which will affect the speed and flexibility of intake. While inhaling, the mouth should be naturally open, and inhale at the same time with the nose is the best.
High position inhalation method
How to inhale how to sing, the state of inhalation, in the process of inhalation, the breath seems to pass through the nose and mouth in the upper teeth, palate to the diaphragm in this place, which is a parabolic angle, is a high position. So when you sing, you can sing according to the state of inhalation, and you will be able to achieve a high position and deep breath as a whole sound. If in the inhalation put very low, the gas seems to be through the lower teeth, tongue surface, only use the mouth to inhale, then, the gas is bound to inhale shallow, there will be movement, sound, with such inhalation method to sing out the voice, is certainly horizontal, white, shallow, tight, narrow range, it is difficult to solve the problem of singing in the soprano voice.
Shooting aiming to keep the breath method
In singing, the voice to sing outward at the same time but also to maintain the inhalation of the state, the formation of internal and external confrontation, which can not only maintain the depth of the inhalation, but also make the singing of breath uniform, smooth, long-lasting. Practice singing with shooting and aiming inhalation state, which is also just a feeling, this state is familiar to those who have been in the military, easy to experience. Through this to achieve the purpose of maintaining a smooth breath in singing. In the process of practicing singing, the more the breath is not enough, the more it is to maintain the state of inward inhalation, the problem can be eased down, so that other people sound the breath has the feeling of inexhaustible.
The above several silent song 1 singing breathing training method, easy to self-training in a variety of situations. Exhalation, if you can add the S sound, from 10 seconds to 20 seconds, and then insisted on 30 seconds, it is a very good result.
Since the breath is required to be long and strong, it is necessary for the student to have a strong body. The great singer Caruso is said to have risen early in the morning to do military-style gymnastics or simple exercises with dumbbells.
How to avoid spraying the microphone when recording at home
Grab a napkin and put it in front of the microphone when recording.
Or use a stocking in a circle outside, and then find a way to fix in front of the microphone, feel as if a little bit disgusting, but very good, so that when you sing, you do not have to think about the fear of spraying the microphone children and affect the mood, highly recommended that we try! ~~
