Zou Wenqin Master Class
Zou Wenqin, a famous vocal educator and professor at the China Conservatory of Music, has profound achievements in ethnic vocal music and has trained famous singers such as Lei Jia, Han Hong, Gong Linna, wu Bixia and so on. In this master class, Teacher Zou Wenqin talked about the "yawning state" of singing, while emphasizing that the cavity should be kept open, and the bite and spit words should be coherent, that is, each rhyme mother should walk coherently with the breath.
The "yawn" of singing is a technique that is especially emphasized in the introductory stage of the beginner, it refers to the vocalization process, the pharyngeal cavity (soft palate, small tongue) should be like when yawning, lifted up, opened, forming a "space", which is the pharyngeal cavity to form a resonant cavity, to help the sound expand naturally, while making the breath unobstructed, helping us to open other resonances, including the head cavity, chest cavity. Therefore, it is the "hub" of the sound, the core of the whole singing process, and the singing yawn, must emphasize the "half yawn", that is, just about to yawn, at this time the entire soft palate is upward, the most powerful, the most able to maintain the high position of the voice.
Opening the passage of the pharyngeal cavity, our breath is smooth, then we must maintain this state and "say" the lyrics. Note that the core of each word is on the vowel, so quickly rhyme and put the vowel in the feeling of yawning. Imagine that the breath is smooth, and the voice can of course be smooth, which is to make each word coherent and smooth. And this is also a "shortcut" to introductory singing.
