Singing is simple, but singing well is not simple. Skillfully singing a song, in fact, there are countless techniques and points hidden behind it.
Therefore, the overall improvement of singers needs to lay a good foundation step by step.
Singing breathing - is the first level of singing, and it is also an important existence that runs through the beginning and end of singing.
The song controlled by the breath is the vocal music, and the breath is the driving force of the singing. In the vocal music world, there is a saying that "who knows how to breathe, who can sing", which shows the importance of breathing in singing.
Many sound problems are caused by inappropriate breath support or by some unscientific breathing habits.
Learning to sing and breathe correctly is the most necessary basis for singing.
Today, Teacher Wang took everyone to learn [Singing Breath].]
01
Many people have such a question, "How to breathe when singing, singing always does not know where to breathe."
So how do you get the right way to breathe singing? This requires sorting out a correct knowledge framework and accompanying it with corresponding practical exercises.
Our daily breathing is considered an automatic natural energy.
People exchange thoughts and feelings through speech, because generally when the distance is closer, the volume required is smaller, the breath is shallower, and it does not require great force and does not have to travel far.
Moreover, when we speak continuously, the voice is easily tired, and this kind of talking breath is not competent if it is used for singing.
Therefore, daily breathing is different from singing breathing.
Breathing while singing requires deeper and more relaxed breathing in order to minimize tension and efficiency in the body and voice, and studying breathing methods and their functions will help you master singing breathing.
Improper breathing methods can lead to incorrect vocalizations, lack of breath retention, poor sound quality and many other sound problems.
Singers generally use three main breathing methods: chest breathing, abdominal breathing, and chest and abdomen breathing.
But there is only one type that is widely considered effective, namely "chest-ventral breathing".
thoracic breathing
The most effective method of chest-ventral breathing: opening the ribs with abs relaxation during inhalation, in case of abdominal relaxation.
Breathing movements form a reaction force with the diaphragm, the lower abdominal muscles will contract slightly, which is controlled by the opening and closing of the rib cage, and when our rib muscles, diaphragm and abdominal muscles can control the breath, singing can open.
Principles of chest-abdomen breathing:
Combine rib strength with lower abdominal muscle relaxation, and you can do full breathing when the abdominal muscles are relaxed.
It reduces the tension in the larynx and neck, and the exhalation movement forms a reaction force in the diaphragm, at which point your lower abdominal muscles contract slightly, which is controlled by the opening and closing of the ribs.
When your rib muscles, diaphragm, and abdominal muscles are able to control breath support, your throat functions properly without being disturbed by the muscles around it.
Effective breathing steps
【Inhale】
Keep your feet apart, at the same width as your crotch, and maintain a comfortable height on your chest.
We use our nose and mouth to breathe at the same time, and the air flow through the organs comes to the chest cavity, so that the lungs are inflated, the diaphragm is convex, and the upper abdominal cavity is used to complete the inhalation.
We take the navel as a boundary, the upper abdominal cavity below the navel and the lower abdominal cavity below the navel.
Do "inhale-inhale", at this time our chest cavity is stretched open, naturally relaxed state, do not tense.
Do another "exhale", when exhaling, keep our chest cavity stretched and open, and the breath slowly loosened.
The process of inhalation, "breath blowing like a balloon," is inhaled into our bodies.
Our stomachs will feel full, but not tight. At the same time, our waist will also be supported.
It is recommended that students practice more than 50 sets a day to improve our singing and inhalation style.
【Exhalation】
The feet are separated and the width of the crotch.
First of all, we find the inhalation of the chest and abdomen breathing method.
Inhale, exhale to keep the chest cavity open and high.
The breath is pulled down, the lower abdomen is slightly retracted, and the lower back is supported.
Complete the exhalation with "si", and exhale with "si".
When we finish vomiting, the body is naturally relaxed, and we do not feel tense or shaky.
Note that when you are doing it, you must not have the opposite action.
"si" this belongs to the bandage, this breath is the opposite, but also very uncomfortable.
Teacher side demonstration:
Inhale ☞ and hold ☞ the exhalation ☞si
Follow the above process, which is the exhalation in our singing.
that is the process of natural relaxation between the two groups.
This set of exercises is also recommended for everyone to practice 50 times a day.
Singing breathing requires attention
When practicing with the teacher, we should pay attention to the following points:
1. Standing posture: the feet are separated, the same width as the crotch, and a better standing posture can maximize lung capacity. The usual natural and relaxed posture does not provide a sufficiently high chest position for effective singing.
2. Inhale: Expand and relax the lower abdominal muscles through the waist circumference, and inhale air with the nose and mouth.
3. Singing: When singing, it is allowed to use the lower abdominal muscles to contract slightly.
4. Position: Keep the chest comfortable when singing, and keep the ribs open to prevent the chest from collapsing. When inhaling, the lungs avoid filling in overfill air.
The importance of singing breathing is self-evident, without a trained partner, it is easy to master the rhythm of breathing, that is, the high notes cannot go up, the bass can not come down, and so on.
In fact, these are all related to the fact that the breath support point is not maintained. Conversely, we master the method of breathing, and when we practice it repeatedly, we form muscle memory.
Exercise the relevant organs and find support points. So, when we sing and make a sound, we feel as if the sound falls on the breath we control.
Scientific vocal methods will make the function of vocal organs be correctly exerted. Moreover, the ability to control the habit will make our singing develop in the right direction.
We can control the breath of the human body when it is relatively still, and we can also do that many song interpretations now require a lot of dance performances, singing and dancing.
Breath control in limb movement is to ensure the movement of the body and limbs when the limbs move, but also to maintain the smoothness of the breath, to find the balance of relaxation and force.
The inhalation and exhalation in the singing are the first lessons we walk into the singing, and I believe that the students will definitely gain something by practicing with the teacher.
Learning to use scientific methods to breathe will also make our singing more durable and powerful. After class, students should not forget to practice more
