Principles and methods of singing breath control
Breath is the driving force behind vocal singing. Without breath, you can't make a sound, and without the right way to control your breath, you can't sing well.
The important role of breath in singing must be known to everyone, but how to use breath in the end, how it should run in the process of our singing.
As we all know, sound is produced by vibration, and the same is true of human voices, which are produced by the vibration of the vocal cords. But the ability of the vocal cords to withstand is very limited, so we have to use the natural medium to drive it, which is our breath.
Usually, our breathing is taken up by the lungs, but the storage space of the lungs can only supply our life activities and speech, etc., and it is far from enough when singing. But our shrewd bodies also provide us with a space to store a lot of breath, that is, dantian. Three inches below the navel, it is called dantian.
The artistic treatment of a song, such as strong, weak, fast, slow, toddler, even, tactful, joyful, sad and angry, etc., is inseparable from the use and control of breath. But these are not achievable by natural breathing and must be processed and trained. Let's talk about the principles and methods of using and controlling the breath when singing. Principles and methods of singing breath control
The strength of the breath, against the appointment
The sound of singing is not the same as the voice requirements of ordinary speaking. It is not only required to be beautiful and pleasant, but also to be able to express certain thoughts and feelings through a variety of changes. Therefore, singing is different from everyday speech, it needs to control the natural breath of daily speech, and organize it into a concentrated, powerful air current. This requires the movement of exhalation and inhalation against each other.
After the strength is generated, to maintain, to make the expansion of the chest and abdominal cavity persist for a long time, it is necessary to rely on the continuous work of the inhalation muscles to resist the pressure of the exhalation muscles, otherwise the qi will be released immediately, the abdomen is soft, the chest is collapsed, the breath is out of control, and the required strength cannot be generated. There needs to be a tough fit here.
When singing, the inhalation is very fast, and the exhalation is very slow this day and tomorrow, which requires a continuous control appointment, and the breath can be exhaled slowly.
This vocal qi has its advantages, the breath fulcrum is clear, the support is strong, and the lower abdomen is tense and easy to relax in other parts, but there are also its shortcomings, lacking the softness and elasticity of the breath. The vocal breath of the Italian bel canto school is the use of chest and abdomen joint breathing, this breathing method has a large amount of breath, softness and elasticity of the breath, and strong fulcrum.
1. During inhalation, the mouth and nose simultaneously inhale the chest cavity and the lungs fully open the diaphragm to descend, and there is enough breath supply to make sounds.
2. When exhaling, the breath fulcrum is concentrated in the diaphragm, and a silent exercise can be done by a method of fast inhalation and slow vomiting.
Here's how to practice:
It is as if seeing a very beautiful flower, very surprised to breathe in quickly, and then maintain this state, use the method of blowing soot to slowly exhale, relax after exhaling, start again, and insist on practicing 10 times a day, which has a certain effect. Remember that concentrating your breath in the resonance tubes of the chest, laryngeal, and oropharyngeal cavity is also good for muscle training in the empathetic tubes.
2. Stir
This is a very important technique of the Italian bel canto school, stirring up two kinds. One is hard incitement, one is soft incitement, and both are abdominal contraction of the diaphragm outward, shaped or counter-pressure. Stir up the best harmonic vocal cords with the exercise, you can use the number 1, 2, 3 ... ... practice, insist on practicing the number 100 times a day has obvious effect, the early morning army morning exercise shouting is the best kind of arousal, you can also use the method of coughing inside to experience the mystery of arousal, or the inner shout out of the short "hey" sound can be shouted out from low to high; this exercise should also be concentrated in the resonance tube practice.
3. Fast suction and fast vomiting, diaphragm muscle group exercises
The maintenance of a good voice requires the control of strong diaphragm muscle groups. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly practice the expansion and bouncing ability of the diaphragm muscle group and strong control of the sound strength, high and low breath. A better method: from slow to fast, from weak to strong fast suction and vomiting, practice when the mouth and nose at the same time suction vomit, in the summer, you can observe the dog panting to open the understanding; this method should adhere to continuous practice will have great fruit. The famous singer Pavarotti used this method to practice the diaphragm muscle group. Remember that this method must be relaxed, not stiff to be effective, and practice in a resonance tube is the best.
4. Yawn and sigh with practice
Yawn the laryngeal joint descends, the diaphragm descends, remaining intact; then, starting from the bottom of the chest cavity, the sigh begins, and the sigh is exhaled from the mouth through the resonance tube. Practice 30 times a day. Remember that this exercise is best done consistently in a laughing state.
