In fact, you can teach yourself to sing along the way, or you can find a teacher to learn. Of course, there are many misunderstandings in self-study, and it is easy to form a big bottleneck to some extent, but it is not completely without progress. Therefore, I also advocate that some students who have basic phonetic cognition should do basic self-study and answer questions when they encounter problems. Although this model is inefficient, it is better than being completely independent.
Of course, students with financial ability and time had better choose a suitable teacher to teach (such as me, hahaha). After all, singing is something that everyone knows but most of them can't sing well. I often use it as a metaphor. Language is a communication tool that we use every day, and all kinds of teachers use it more. However, when we gave a lecture on voice health care in colleges and universities, we found that the use of teachers' vocal cords was the hardest hit. It is conceivable that the significance of simple practice is not necessarily effective.
Attached are a bunch of tutorials: (There are text tutorials and then video tutorials)
Singing basic text course:
The introduction of breath can be roughly divided into three basic stages.
1, volume control: At this time, the diaphragm (which is not a voluntary muscle and needs the help of other muscles) may not feel anything, so don't think too much, but the muscle shape can always be maintained. After holding down the first feeling, the gas volume can be selectively controlled according to the change of strength.
2. Pressure generation: 1 After proficiency, our breath begins to reflect the internal pressure. Some people call it a sense of support. This situation is similar to some gas trapped in the body, but we can't use the word "trapped" because under the control of the diaphragm, breathing is moving even if it is slow, and the trapped vocal cords are directly, and everything is really stuck.
3. Pressurization process: After the pressure can be controlled by the foundation, we begin to involve some basic gas blocking support. At this time, you will find that the stability of pure pressure may not be enough, so there is a need for pressurization. In fact, the demand for pressurization has increased a point of consciousness, so the overall strength will be easier.
Breathing is divided into two main steps:
1 Inhale: The way to inhale is very simple. First, find a relaxed inhalation state. How to relax? I suggest you experience inhaling when you sleep. You will find that your stomach is falling together at this time, right? Inhalation at this time is actually deeper than our daily state.
Analysis: So is the deeper the better? I don't think so. I think that the excessive pursuit of the depth of breathing causes the rigidity of the body, but it is counterproductive. Beginners don't have to pursue depth blindly. Here also mention, where can people's breath be sucked? Dantian? What organ is Tian Dan? In fact, the abdomen is a person's power consciousness point, not an organ that can store breath, so our breath finally reaches the lungs. At this time, some people will say, why does gas move in the lungs? In fact, this is what we are going to talk about. The cover picture shows that the diaphragm is below the lung. When inhaling, the expansion of the lungs will naturally press down the diaphragm, so the stomach will bulge.
Exhale (with air):
Singing is actually the art of singing, and how to call it is the key. So, what should we do?
We just lie down and inhale, and our stomachs swell, right? At this time, you must keep your stomach bulging before you can sing. Be careful not to be completely stiff here. (Note: Stiffness may also cause vocal cords to exert force. Just keep the shape, because our breath should be kept flowing, and then we need to practice flowing. Of course, we should keep it first, so that our singing skills can be controlled. Complete this cycle with every sentence. Do it slowly, and you will get used to it. You will find that you have a sore throat and your broken voice will be improved by singing.
Analysis: I often use the increase or decrease of air pressure to describe breathing in my own teaching, but what is the first step of slowing down breathing? Simply put, it is to reduce the flow rate of breathing. Too much air leakage, too loud treble volume, many broken sounds and virtual sounds are closely related to the excessive flow of breath. So the first step in singing is the change of speed. Of course, slowing down is not the purpose. After deceleration, it is necessary to form a stable air pressure system to complete the most basic support of singing breath. After supporting, it must enter the acceleration module to strengthen the driving force and pressure control. In a word, the steps of breath are complicated to say and relatively simple to do.
Two simple ways to keep breathing and practice:
The first step is to control the flow of breathing. In fact, everyone will control the flow. For example, I will let you take a breath casually, and then let you take a small breath. You don't have to think about it, just do it, right? First of all, make sure that the inhalation is relaxed and natural, keep it after reaching the diaphragm (the basic content mentioned above), and continue to blow a little, which can be as smooth as possible within 10-20 seconds.
Application: When we can keep 10-20 seconds, try to relax the inhalation, keep the diaphragm and sing at the same low volume, and you will find that the part that was not easy to sing becomes a little easier. But this is really just the beginning.
The second step, the method of air with sound, when you finish the first step, you can at least blow air with a small amount of air 10-20 seconds. At this time, the vocal cords should be added. How to add vocal cords? We continue to relax and inhale, keep the diaphragm, and then blow at a low volume. After blowing for two seconds, we began to make a low-volume Wu.
Application: martial arts must be gradually realized from virtual to real, or gradually rolled in small volumes. Don't suddenly exert force on the vocal cords, the sound should be emitted slowly, and the slower the better. If you can't break the connection with Wu, you will get a sound generated by a breath pushing the vocal cords. At first, the volume of this sound will not be very loud. Don't show your breath first after you do it slowly and quickly. You can try to find the state of matching and confrontation between breath and vocal cords quickly and directly, and keep this sound. When you sing in this state, you will find that your singing skills are much relaxed.
Vocal system:
Simple vocalization theory:
As we all know, the vibration of an object produces sound, just as the vibration of the drum produces sound when you beat the drum. Vocal cords also vibrate to produce sound.
Here are some concepts that must be understood when singing.
The shape of vocal cords: the left and right pieces, the true voice is closed, and the falsetto has an angle similar to the leaked diamond.
Power of vocal cords: the power of vocal cord vibration is breathing, and the airflow produces sound through the occurrence point of vocal cords.
The higher the vibration frequency of vocal cords, the higher the sound produced.
The greater the vibration amplitude of vocal cords, the greater the volume produced by vocal cords. (But the volume and loudness produced by vocal cords are not welcome. When the amplitude is large, the consumption of vocal cords will increase. )
Voice position: actually, it is the vocal cords, and the department where people speak is on the vocal cords, so the voice position can only be on the vocal cords. Many people feel that it happens when I use it here and I use it there. In fact, it is the place where the sound is hit after it is sent out. I usually call it a reflection point. On the other hand, there is the point of consciousness. It is often said that the position of vocal cords should not be in vocal cords, but should be lowered. It may be better to understand singing by distinguishing this concept first.
Secondly, talk about the vocal position. Let's look at two pictures from four directions and analyze them:
Front and back direction:
According to the picture, we are facing forward, the front end of vocal cords is also the direction we are facing, and the back end is the direction behind us. We define these two directions mainly to distinguish feelings.
Throat position direction:
Laryngeal position mainly moves up and down. For popular scientific vocalization, the position of the larynx is relatively stable, and the upper muscles of the Adam's apple are not excessively tense. Of course, those who are demanding can try to lower the throat position (not press the throat) to expand the distance of the vocal tract (you can understand it as lengthening the distance from the Adam's apple to the mouth or lengthening the neck, hahahahahahahaha)
Wrong state of vocal cord use:
Several wrong states of vocal cords,
First, the laryngeal lift is caused by excessive squeezing or pulling sound;
Second: imitate bel canto, or imitate a generous voice, or practice bass to cause the laryngeal position to move down. Laryngeal elevation is a very common thing, which is mostly caused by the mismatch between breath and occurrence. However, the decline of waiting position is a violation of the principle of vocalization, which often leads to imitation, personality needs and image building. This kind of situation is common in beginners and broadcasters of Bel Canto, as well as some teachers and conference spokespersons.
Logical steps to solve the problem of vocalization:
Step 1: refuse to sing or talk too loudly in daily communication. From the last article, we can know that when the vocal cords are sounding at too high a volume, the vocal cords will vibrate greatly, which will cause tension, instability and treble-related problems of the vocal cords. )
The second step is to strengthen the training related to breath (as you can know from the last article, breath is the power source of vocalization, that is, breath opposes vocal cords, which produce sound. If the breathing airflow is not effectively controlled, then our atmospheric volume or unstable airflow will impact the vocal cords. When irregular or atmospheric volume impacts the vocal cords, our vocal cords can only be blocked by forced squeezing and pulling, which will produce the tension of the vocal cords, otherwise it is called air leakage. )
The third step is to coordinate the relationship between breath and vocal cords, so that vocal cords are promoted by breath, and vocal cords and breath can cooperate well. Most people with tight vocal cords will stop breathing or change their state or pitch when singing, which is contrary to our vocal principles. )
A simple and effective vocal training scheme;
Motion 1 air with sound motion: as mentioned above.
Exercise 2 Diaphragm Bouncing Exercise: We can choose two kinds of diaphragm bouncing exercises. One is dog breathing, and the key action is to relax and inhale, then exhale, try to inhale through the nose and mouth at the same time, and then exhale through the mouth. In the process of breathing, we will find that the stomach will expand normally when inhaling and naturally retract when exhaling. This cycle is helpful to our diaphragm bounce training. The second is sound bouncing training. At this time, you need to find the feeling of bouncing your stomach when you laugh. When we laugh, this bounce in our stomach is actually caused by the diaphragm. We can play the word "ah" word by word when we practice.
Exercise 3 Volume exercise: Volume exercise refers to singing at a moderate volume in daily language and singing, which will form habits and promote the coordination of breath and vocal cords. Relatively reducing consumption can also strengthen the expansion of treble.
Exercise 4 Numbering Exercise: As the name implies, we need to finish the number from 45 to 50 in one breath. What needs special attention is that in the process of counting, you should make every word clear, try not to read the words too heavily, and try to keep the volume consistent.
Exercise 5 lip vibrato exercise: lip vibrato exercise is that we blow our lips with air to make them vibrate regularly. The practice of lip vibrato is mainly divided into two directions. In one direction, the vibration of the lips must be regular, neither too big nor too small, and the graininess is clear. Don't spit out all the breath. Try to reduce the gas at the beginning. The second direction is to add the sound of the word du in the process of lip trembling. Pay attention to the sound. Don't be nervous in your throat. As long as you make this sound, the volume should be moderate.
These are the most basic parts related to breath in vocal music training. In daily language, we should also emphasize that the volume should not be too loud and the breath should support the speech, so as to give the vocal cords a good vocal state and reduce unnecessary consumption.
Introduction tutorial:
The technical term involved is solfeggio: it contains more things, and it will involve more complicated things, such as singing the first key, fixed key, various modes, tonality, reading music, listening to melody, rhythm and chord in the monophonic interval with strong and weak emotions. Believe me, this is the most time I skipped classes in my whole college career (for young me, skipping classes to practice songs in the piano room is a first-class enjoyment compared with taking two consecutive solfeggio classes), and I also deteriorated a lot when I graduated. We have to admit that solfeggio requires persistent training. After all, we are not absolutely accurate, so time, patience and continuous consolidation of learning are the focus of most people's attention.
The root of pitch problem:
Second, because of the unscientific use of vocal organs, poor vocal cord closure and bad language habits, the intonation problem is caused.
Thirdly, the intonation problem of the joint section in the middle and high sound areas caused by improper conversion of true and false sounds.
Fourthly, the pitch problem caused by other laryngeal diseases.
Fifth, the pitch problem caused by auditory and brain related processing (we often say that singing is not accurate because it is not accurate)
Among them, the first three are the most common and can cover most beginners of vocal music. The latter two and four should actively go to the hospital for treatment. This belongs to the category of amnesia, but it does not affect normal life. Some people's daily communication has aspects such as lack of intonation, and the performance of this problem. At present, there are many ways to solve this problem, such as Orff and emotional stability therapy, but personally, the effect is relatively insufficient. In fact, the problem of intonation is not just the above reasons, so I won't list them one by one. The main problems are reflected in the first three aspects.
The most direct way to learn to sing is to imitate. Most singers start with imitation, and imitation is also a way to acquire basic knowledge. When you find a singer that you like and can imitate very much, you have mastered the most basic singing knowledge. If you want to continue to improve, you need to find a professional teacher to study professionally.
What kind of era is it now? In the Internet age, many of our exchanges, or our moods and skills, can be displayed on the Internet. Therefore, many online celebrities have been created. Whether you admit it or not, he (she) is red.
Because people now work and study the timeline, people often brush some short video platforms, such as Aauto. At the same time, many online celebrities, modern brothers, Guo Congming, Gao, and M Ge have to say that singing can also gain benefits and become a means of starting a business.
Today, I also want to bring an easy-to-understand, non-basic singing teaching to basin friends who are still in the primary stage and are inspirational to become the next generation of song kings.
Many people have this question. I am tone deaf and have no foundation. How can I learn to sing? Vocal music is a particularly practical subject. It must be understood that you can't learn by theoretical knowledge alone. If God doesn't give you a good voice, then you need to practice your voice scientifically to make your voice more beautiful and moving.
The first stage for beginners to learn to sing-knowing their own range
Are you hoarse or called Maidan, suitable for singing lyric love songs or Indian divine comedy?
The correct concept of vocal music comes from the understanding of one's own musical instruments. Only by knowing your own vocal range can you know what kind of songs you are suitable for singing, and how to learn from each other's strengths and make yourself an all-round singer.
What is register (knocking on the blackboard)
Range refers to the range from the nearest sound to the highest sound that can be emitted by an instrument or a person's voice. Simply put, it's the highest and lowest notes you can sing.
Everyone's vocal range is different, and the degree of control over singing is also reflected.
Human voice can be divided into different regions according to "pitch". The voice we usually speak is usually called "chest sound area", and the voice is relatively low;
The sound of screaming and cheering, usually called "head sound area", is relatively high and sharp.
There is a transition area between the "chest sound area" and the "head sound area", which is called "mixed sound area"
As the name implies, the mixed sound area is to mix the sounds of the chest sound area and the head sound area in this area. And because this part has to mix the chest sound area and the head sound area, it will be particularly difficult to sing.
The mixing zone has a specific pitch. Most of the mixing areas of male voices are in E4, F4, #F4 and G4, while most of the mixing areas of female voices are in A4, #A4, B4 and C.
Moreover, most of the high notes that can't be sung at ordinary times are actually in the mixed sound area.
The vocal range is not innate, but can be broadened through acquired training. Today, let's talk about singing skills. Please press the key first on how to broaden the range.
Of course, the range we are talking about is not simply to let you sing a few words or judge by your tone of voice, but to pass a series of scientific tests.
2. Scientific test:
Scream loudly, this is the highest level of your range.
If you want to know the limit of your range potential, just scream (meow meow? )
(Serious face) The easiest way to know your range is to find the bass, alto and treble to sing and see which song is the most fluent and which range.
Of course, there are other ways to know your vocal range more professionally, but the methods used, such as playing the piano and singing, involve more professional music knowledge.
When you know your range, you should practice. How to breathe when singing?
There is a saying in vocal music that "whoever can breathe can sing", which shows the importance of breathing in singing. It is indeed the basic skill that a singer must learn first.
Breathing when singing is not the same as breathing when talking in daily life. When speaking in daily life, people's breathing is very shallow and there is no need to work hard.
Singing requires a certain change in volume and intensity of the voice. Singing for a long time is more likely to make the voice appear tired and hoarse, so you need a controlled, rhythmic, strong or weak, low or high breathing mode.
1. Breathing teaching of singing breathing method
Imagine yourself in a prairie with fresh air and blooming flowers. Take a deep breath, pay attention and take a deep breath!
Then hold your breath for two or three seconds and spit it out. In this process, you should feel the expansion and expansion of your waist and abdomen, and remember this relaxed and happy feeling! That's it, feeling!
2. Exhale teaching of singing and breathing.
Exhale slowly and evenly to keep the feeling of waist expansion.
The specific training method is: prepare a piece of 10 square centimeter tissue paper, stick it on the wall, and stand 4+6 centimeters away from the paper.
Blow one breath so that the paper does not fall to the ground, and it will be qualified for more than half a minute.
You can also pronounce the syllable u at the flame with a burning candle. The correct way is that the flame falls but does not go out.
3. How to train the strength of diaphragm by singing and breathing?
What is the diaphragm?
The diaphragm is the separation between the chest cavity and the abdominal cavity. Generally speaking, it is located under the heart and lungs and above the liver, spleen and stomach, just like a large disk lying flat in the body to separate the chest and abdominal cavity, and moves up and down with the breathing movement.
Singing with the diaphragm is to change the way of breathing and breathe with the abdomen.
Abdominal breathing is a basic breathing method commonly used in yoga and learning to sing. Abdominal breathing can help you reduce your abdomen and sing with the breath of your abdomen. In short, there is no harm in studying!
Traditional diaphragm 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.
Finally, how to test whether your breathing teaching has passed?
First of all, the body is in a line, put your hands gently on your abdomen and inhale hard.
If your shoulders and chest stand slightly and your abdomen is flat, congratulations, you finally know the reason why your singing ability is difficult to improve-the wrong breathing practice method is the biggest crux.
If when inhaling, the shoulders and chest are level, the abdomen is slightly convex, and the breath sinks to the abdomen, then I can only say, I'm sorry, you have mastered the correct breathing method, and this dry food I have carefully prepared can only add icing on the cake to you ~ Here is a small flower to send, and it's really great that you have succeeded in your own practice ~
When you master what songs you should sing and learn the breathing singing method, you can turn on your mobile phone, click on the cool dog (not an advertisement), rationally choose a song that suits you and start singing with emotion ~
So much for the basics of singing. Off-topic, everyone should develop good posture habits. There is an old saying: stand like a pine and cypress, sit like a bell and walk like the wind. This has a great influence on people. It can change people's behavior and make your appearance more beautiful and handsome.
I think we should start with the following points:
One: For people who are tone-deaf: First of all, look at what's wrong with their own voice. It's best to record your own songs, then listen to them several times and compare them with other people's beautiful songs. What is the difference? Try to learn the vocal skills of other people's beautiful singing. Of course, we are not asking you to imitate, but to learn other people's methods and practice with your own voice. After so much practice,
2. People who have no feelings about singing: First of all, it does not rule out that he can't sing because he is not interested in singing and has not found a song that suits him. In fact, no one in the world sings well at the beginning, and the efforts the day after tomorrow are very important. Vocal music also needs the full guidance of the tutor. Success is not accidental, it needs sweat. If a person has these conditions, he will gradually become a good singer even if he can't sing at first.
3. People who can't sing and don't study: Most people who can't sing have no confidence in themselves and generally think that others are better than themselves. In fact, no one is particularly talented, and talent accounts for a small part. The most important thing is to take the initiative to learn and ponder, watch some teaching videos of famous musicians and learn some singing skills from them. It won't be long before your level will advance by leaps and bounds.
Conclusion: For those who can't sing, they should first have confidence in themselves, work hard the day after tomorrow and use the right methods. Then according to the three situations I mentioned earlier, let them see which one they belong to and learn.
This is mainly to practice more. Find a teacher if you want to major. The main thing is to practice. If you are bolder, you will learn it easily.
Search Pocket Music Singer Hall has the answer you want.
1. First of all, you should know your own vocal range and sound characteristics, and know which songs are suitable for you and which types of songs are not suitable for you.
2. Find a singer with similar vocal range or voice characteristics to imitate his voice and the way he sings.
3. When imitating, listen to the original music, listen to every note of the original music clearly, and then sing along, don't go out of tune.
4. After listening to the original song skillfully, sing along with the accompaniment. It is best to record it and then listen to it to find out your own shortcomings.
It is best to buy a set of network karaoke equipment with sound monitoring, so that you can hear your own voice when recording, which is conducive to practice.
6. Pay attention to the control of breath when singing, control the rhythm of breath, control the flow of breath, and reach the top of breath in high notes.
7. After imitating the singer, you should jump out of the singing method of the imitation object and form your own singing style.
Hello, friend:
Since I want to learn to sing, besides enjoying singing, there is still a place where I need to further improve my singing skills. Let me make some suggestions for your reference.
① Master the basic knowledge of music theory. If you don't have some basic knowledge of music theory, you'd better find someone else to study or find resources online. There are many free videos online. If the economy permits, you can also choose some paid courses to study. As long as you study hard, you are sure to master this.
② Pay attention to breathing training. The effect of breathing on singing is obvious. This kind of micro-movement is very professional, and you can master the general simple breathing method by learning imitation, but some professional training must be learned by teachers, preferably face-to-face. Of course, online video teaching can also be done, but the effect is not so good.
③ Know your own voice. You should know your timbre, range, sound quality and other characteristics, and you should not shout and sing indiscriminately. Blind singing hurts our voice, which will make us lose our enthusiasm for music gradually and will only go further and further in the wrong direction.
④ Combination of imitation and personal characteristics. Imitating the singing style of excellent singers is an important and fast learning method in the early stage. You can gradually add your own style in imitation and form your own unique style.
Make a wide range of friends who like singing. * * * Friends with the same hobbies will encourage each other, learn from each other and help each other, which can help us improve our singing ability quickly and make our singing hobby bring us happiness in life.
⑥ Participate in singing competitions or music activities. By participating in the competition, we can compete with many players on the same stage and learn from the strengths and advantages of others. In addition, the professional comments of the judges will make us realize our problems quickly and help you make rapid progress. In music festivals and other music activities, I should learn to learn the highlights of other people's performances and then use them for me.
Singing is an interest-oriented hobby, and the most important thing is love. Interest is the best teacher. As long as you persist, you will definitely sing your own wonderful songs.
Finally, I wish you a happy life!
