The last blog post mentioned the chest-abdomen combined breathing method. Let's share an article on how to practice. First, let's observe a phenomenon. When we pour water into the kettle, it will gradually fill the whole kettle from the bottom. And as long as there is space, water can always go down. If we think of our body as a kettle, we should inhale deeply when inhaling, that is, we should appropriately expand the capacity of the chest and fill the breath from the bottom, so that the breath we get can ensure the coherence and unity of the sound. Let's experience the breathing when people lie quietly on their backs. You will find that the lower abdomen moves up and down regularly, which is caused by the up and down movement of the diaphragm. When inhaling, the diaphragm descends and occupies space to press the lower abdomen, so the abdominal muscles are pushed out. You can feel the feeling of deep breathing by lying down and practicing this breathing. In daily life, people's breathing is divided into inhalation and exhalation. However, the breathing of singing should be consciously divided into four steps. Namely: inhale, hold, exhale and return to the original state. Let's analyze it in detail. 1. Inhale: Inhale in singing requires inhaling air from trachea to lungs through mouth and nose at the same time. Low suction and deep suction. Breathe in smoothly and relax, don't lift your shoulders and don't be stiff. Breathe in, open your throat, expand your chest, and feel relaxed and stretched all over. 2. Keep: This refers to the state that the diaphragm, chest and ribs are naturally opened when inhaling. It feels like swimming with your head in the water. You can also do the practice of "holding your breath", and the time can be from short to long, and gradually increase to store the breath. Feel how the body feels at this time. 3. Exhale: Pronunciation. Control vocalization and singing with breath. At this time, the waist line began to feel resistance, the lower abdomen was miniature, and the chest was calm until the sound ended. 4. Restore the original state: When singing and pronouncing, the muscles exhaled and inhaled are antagonistic. When a sentence is finished and the breath is exhausted, in order to inhale new breath and create new confrontation again, all parts of the respiratory organs must be completely restored to the state before inhalation. In this way, contraction and expansion continue to circulate, in order to ensure the fluency of singing.
