Correct breathing method for singing

Question 1: The correct breathing method when singing is to breathe from the abdomen, but the chest does not need to be inflated. It is the abdomen that inflates. The waist also needs to be exerted, and the throat cannot be pressed down. Such a sound is tight. Yes, the neck part including the throat cannot be stretched hard. The reason your chest bulges is because the air is floating. In fact, you don’t need to take a deep breath to inhale, it just takes about 1.2 seconds longer than normal breathing, which is too much. You can take a deep breath before singing and exhale any excess air.

Question 2: What are the breathing techniques for singing? It’s actually not that profound

It’s very simple

Control the muscles of the Dantian well

Also It's the waist

The abdominal muscles, and the two muscles in the lower back

If you can contract and relax them freely at the appropriate time

you can use your breath properly

It is best not to use it deliberately

Also, you need to exercise regularly

Regular sit-ups, long-distance running, swimming, etc. are all good for the amount of breath.

Smoking less and eating less spicy food.

Question 3: How to breathe while singing? Breath

When talking about this topic, I feel a little confused, because it is the hardest thing to express in words. Before I started singing, I practiced bel canto for two years, which gave me a deep understanding. The basics of breath helped me a lot. Generally speaking, people who have never studied vocal music have a very flat voice, and they pronounce it from the position where they usually speak (throat). We call their voice "white", without color or filter. Below I will describe the method of practicing bel canto.

The sound should originate from the lower abdomen. Imagine that the sound passes through the back of the spine, to the back of the head, and to the back of the mouth. The entire sound should be upright and backward. Please look for this feeling: you take a big bite of an apple, expose your upper teeth, and make a "hmm" sound while biting it down. Feel the sound at the back of the mouth and the upper part of the nasal cavity. This is one of the bel canto sounds. ***Ming point. Next, lower your breath, expand your lower abdomen, press your lower abdomen slightly, and speak at the same position. For male voices, press the Adam's apple. For female voices, focus on the position of the voice at the back of the head. You will find that the sound is louder than before. Regular practice against the wall will help your voice, because leaning against the wall can contact your back spine, making it easier for you to find the feeling, and the sound of the chest can vibrate with the wall, making it easier for you to find the chest. *Ming feeling. Start with the practice of "Mi~Ma" and gradually increase it, which will help you practice high-pitched breath; then practice from high to low, repeat this way, and one day you will find the feeling. Bel Canto pays attention to "transparency", and often imagines that one's voice is upright, not flat; it also pays attention to the "sound". After the sound passes through the chest or the chest above the chest, it will be very round and round. full. To experience the humming sound, you can do this: close your mouth and make a "hmm" sound with a slightly affectionate feeling. If the "hmm" is longer, you will feel your head and chest vibrating. If your breath is good, This kind of ringing will add a lot of color to your voice. If you listen carefully to the speeches of some tall Americans, you will know what chest ringing is (the chest structure of foreigners is more likely to produce chest ringing).

Another thing I want to mention is lung capacity. Singers need a large lung capacity to sing, such as some very long and breathless melodies. Don't end up with red faces and heavy breathing after singing. Lung capacity requires regular exercise to maintain. In addition, mastering certain skills can make up for some lack of lung capacity. First of all, you need to practice your breath. A good vocal method can control the flow of sound through the voice. For example, when singing the sentence "...I'm not afraid of you betraying me...", a singer with unstable breath may suddenly say "Afraid" "The sound of the word was sung in an explosive way, and the air that was originally insufficient in the lungs was released immediately. It would be weird if there was a long sentence without breathing after it that didn't suffocate him to death. Singers with good breath skills can control the flow of these pops, and there will be no flapping sounds in the microphone when singing. So I suggest you put a candle in front of your mouth when practicing your voice, and try to keep the candle from shaking while practicing your voice! This way your Qi will remain in your body for a longer period of time. Think about it, do you keep breathing out for a longer time, or do you hold it in for a longer time? Of course, this also requires the singer to relax and not be nervous. When you are nervous, your heart beats faster and your breath becomes more unstable.

I can only say so much here, and these are all based on perception. However, I would like to remind you that voice training is the basis for singing pop songs. Do not use voice training methods to perform pop songs directly. That will be too artificial, and you will be like Yan Weiwen singing "nothing".

Regarding the use of voice in popular songs, my point of view is that as long as it fits the artistic conception of the song, it is okay to shout or break, but these are absolutely prohibited in bel canto, so we have to learn from each other's strengths, because we are not for We practice bel canto to sing bel canto. We practice bel canto in order to sing popular songs well, just like martial arts requires practicing horse stance. Have you ever seen someone squatting on the horse stance during a fight?

Some friends said that this kind of expression is difficult to understand. If you want me to tell you who among the pop singers has a clear breath, it is easier to understand based on your feelings. This is also an effective method.

Personally, I think that female singers should listen more to "Zhang Huimei", she has a naturally transparent breath; male singers should listen more to "Man Wenjun", he really relies on breath to sing. In addition, Jacky Cheung The aura is very good, but for teaching, Man Wenjun is more suitable

Singing skills

The interpretation of songs requires many aspects of performance.

The first is of course the sound. This is a very professional knowledge, including breath, voice, oral cavity, way of articulating words, etc. In future articles, I will share what I know with you as much as possible.

The second is emotion. This requires the singer to have a strong understanding of words and melody. Many friends put all the emphasis on the sound part when singing and ignore the emotion. This is definitely... >>

Question Four: How to breathe correctly when singing? 1. Lift your voice every morning and practice basic skills;

2. Pay attention to your breathing method and use abdominal breathing;

3. When singing, you must have abundant and strong breath. Push it out, so that the sound will be thicker, it will not tremble, and the treble will be improved to a certain extent.

First, everyone hums, then open your mouth, keep making the sound, and see if the sound is there. Walk around, look to the side, and listen to the sound. Can you keep it? Hehe~ If so, congratulations, your pronunciation position is basically correct! If not, it means your pronunciation is not right~

Note:

First~ When singing, you cannot use your voice to sing, and you cannot press the sound~ It takes a long time every time you sing. Don't you feel a sore throat? Ah~ This can’t be done! As time goes by, your voice will get worse and worse! When singing, you need to use your vocals. The sound should come out from the point between the eyebrows, which is very penetrating. When singing, be sure to open your mouth so that each cavity is like an empty room where echoes can come out! Well, now open your mouth, open it wider! Touch the cheek of your face. Is there a hole? This hole needs to be opened when singing! So the mouth must be open! When singing, always remember to "sing to the people behind you". The sound should spread in a line from your waist to your head, as if everyone can hear your voice! Don't be afraid of your loud voice

second~ You need to breathe when singing! In some ways, breathing is more important than singing! Relax first and imagine that there is a big garden in front of you, it is very fragrant! Take a deep breath and smell carefully~ Hehe~ It smells good, right? ! Inhale the air into your lungs and feel that your chest, back, and waist are all expanding. If necessary, you can tie a belt around your waist. The tighter the better, expand it when you sing! Singing seems easy but it is also very difficult. It is not easy to master a good method! Maybe you will notice that when a singer sings on stage, he will sweat after a while. Indeed, it is very tiring, especially your waist, oh! I almost forgot something very important! The breath of singing is downward and the sound is upward, which is exactly the opposite of dancing. The breath of dancing is upward, especially ballet! The breath seems to be pressing on your waist, so your waist is very tired, but you have mastered the correct pronunciation. Although your body is very tired, your voice is very comfortable. The more you sing, the more you want to sing

third~ The range must be everyone's Pay attention to it! Perhaps many people think that vocal range is innate, and that some people can sing high notes because they are born with a good voice... In fact, innate factors may only account for 50% at most. Tone is innate, but part of the vocal range depends on Practice the day after tomorrow! Many people can sing the bass, because when they first start singing, they are careful to keep their voice low for fear that they will not sing well, but the high notes are the same. The pronunciation of the high notes is very skillful! Expanding the vocal range is based on the two points mentioned above. First, you must master the pronunciation method and breathing method. To perform high notes, you need to concentrate the sound in the head cavity, use a lot of air, and exert force on the waist. It is very tiring to practice. Especially if you practice to a very high pitch, you may get dizzy after practicing for a long time. Expanding your vocal range is a longer process, so you have to persevere!

Question 5: Singing breathing method, how to breathe with the abdomen. To be precise, the thoracoabdominal combined breathing method is the most scientific. When breathing, the chest and ribs expand naturally, and at the same time, the waist and abdomen should have If you still can't feel the swelling feeling, take a deep breath and push your belly up intentionally and then hold it. When you feel that the waist and abdomen after inhaling are in a natural and relatively tight state, after holding this state, you will feel The feeling of pushing down to defecate is that the whole body is moving downwards, so that the sound can go upwards driven by the breath. I hope this can help you.

Question 6: How should you practice breathing and vocalization when singing? You should have studied physics, and you all know that the physical cause of sound is the impact of external factors on objects. The objects vibrate and produce sound waves of different lengths. The sound waves cause the surrounding air to vibrate and produce sound. Therefore, the source of power for singing is breathing. Use good breath. The physical characteristics of the vocal cords can be better utilized, so that beautiful and complete songs can be sung. Therefore, the use of breath is one of the very important techniques of singing. Several breathing methods are named with popular words) 1. Sighing inhalation: As we all know, sighing is a very common phenomenon in daily life. It is relaxing and downward. It helps to relax the inspiratory muscle groups so that you can inhale better.

The specific method is to sigh first and then inhale. Your main thought is to sigh, not to inhale. When the breath is expelled with the "sigh", that is, the work of the exhalation muscle group has been completed, and then the inhalation muscle group will immediately start working - inhalation. This cycle is completed automatically. If you are thinking about inhaling, your inhaling muscles will always be in a working state and unable to relax, making it difficult for the breath to be inhaled normally. Note: Breathe in wherever you sigh, don't make any forced movements. Keep the feeling of sighing while singing, and do this with each phrase to form a good breathing cycle. Next, practice sighing inhalation while singing a song. Before you prepare to sing, try to sigh (exhale) as much as possible. When the breath is naturally inhaled, start singing. 2. Smell style inhalation: The smell style inhalation method makes it easy to inhale deeply, and there is no pumping sound and unnecessary movement when inhaling. It is also easier to understand and master. When smelling flowers, the fragrance of flowers makes people feel particularly happy. When identifying the fragrance of flowers, special care and attention are required. It is a feeling of relaxation and excitement. Specifically, when inhaling: the upper body is completely relaxed, the waistline is relaxed and comfortable, and then the chest also feels relaxed, and the space in the body is increased so that the breath can flow in naturally. This kind of inhalation is both loose and moderate. After inhaling, the person will be very excited and the chest will feel spacious. Use this feeling of inhalation to sing, your breath will be smooth and your voice will be mellow. You can open or close your mouth when doing fancy smelling. When closing, your mouth should not be closed too tightly. Too tight will affect the speed and flexibility of air intake. When simply practicing inhaling, you can use closed-mouth inhalation. When singing, it is best to naturally open your mouth and nose and inhale at the same time. Whether you inhale simultaneously with your nose with your mouth closed or with your mouth open, the most important thing is to experience the feeling of the breath flowing into your body. 3. Surprised inhalation Surprised inhalation is to use the rapid physiological response of people when they are surprised to achieve the purpose of inhaling quickly. This kind of inhalation is both fast and deep. It can make the respiratory muscles complete the cycle of contraction and relaxation in an instant, and can exercise the rapid flexibility of the respiratory organs. This inhalation is also called "gasping." It is better to express sadness, anger and passionate emotions. (Some of the breathing methods refer to the paper of the Central Conservatory of Music.) Why should we name this breathing method like this? The main purpose is to allow everyone to grasp the requirements of singing breathing in a more familiar state in life, but there is one point to be explained. , the breathing of singing is definitely a special kind of breathing and cannot be completely equated with the breathing in life. How to use breath is the highest level. Personally, I think that being able to serve the mood of the song and achieve the highest level of sending and receiving freely is the highest level. Therefore, different songs have different breath requirements. Generally speaking, there are the following types: (1) Inhale quickly and exhale slowly: Some songs switch quickly between phrases and have small breaths, but the phrases develop very long, which requires inhaling quickly and exhaling slowly. For example, red* requires sufficient excitement when breathing, the diaphragm must be active and vigorous, and the exhalation must be balanced and even. This is the most difficult situation. The specific method is: inhale quickly, pause briefly, and exhale slowly. You can experience it this way: imagine that a very close friend who has not been with you for a long time suddenly appears in front of you. You gasp in surprise, almost shouting, and then stop in this state. After a few seconds, it seemed as if there was an external force pushing the lower abdomen back. I felt that my lower abdomen was fighting against this external force, and I exhaled slowly. At this time, the diaphragm plays a strong supporting role. (2) Inhale slowly and exhale quickly: Some song phrases are written very short, with a big breath, but the phrase development is very small. When singing, you have time to breathe to prepare, but when you exhale, you should be quick and not delayed. Be clear and direct. (3) Slow inhalation and slow exhalation: This situation mainly occurs in some slow versions of love songs. Since the song does not progress quickly, the entire melody is written relatively long, so you can inhale slowly and sing slowly. The difficulty here is not to be angry casually. Although the requirements for breath are not too difficult in this situation, once you are angry, the pitch will be wrong, the rhythm is wrong, or the sound will not be felt properly... >>

< p> Question 7: How to use Dantian breathing when singing? When singing, your body needs to exert force, but the muscles need to relax. When singing the sound, the abdomen needs to exert force. The sound feels like vomiting, and the feeling of vomiting is human. The power used when vomiting is the power of Dantian, so you should have the feeling like when you are vomiting to feel the power. Of course, as mentioned above, when you first learn, I suggest you Find a teacher to learn from, so as not to make mistakes. Once you get used to it, you will naturally use the power of Dantian when singing.

The sound sung using the Dantian will be more three-dimensional, and the sound itself is more elastic, not a dry and flat sound, and will produce a buzzing sound in the head (if you sing correctly, You may feel a little dizzy, which means you have a tinnitus). The tinnitus will amplify your voice (because your body is a big speaker), so the sound you sing will naturally be louder, but the high notes belong to your own vocal range. It depends on the height, but through the correct way of singing, you can still make your voice height rise slightly.

Singing using the Dantian uses the power of the Dantian, so the throat will be less painful, but it will still become dry after singing for a long time, so you need to moisturize your throat frequently to maintain your throat.

The use of Dantian must be coordinated with abdominal breathing, because when we inhale, the air will enter our lungs, inflate the alveoli and expand our chest cavity, but such lung capacity is still insufficient for singing. It is not enough, you must also rely on the downward expansion of the diaphragm, so that the amount of air inhaled will be sufficient and the muscles in the Dantian will be strong. When you can easily feel the Dantian, try to pronounce a long sound (at least 30 seconds) and count one beat per second. After you can use it correctly, practice a short section of the song you want to sing. Remember to use force in your Dantian! In time, there will be some success. Singing guidance methods:

As mentioned before, "To sing well, you must at least have a strong sense of the sound, the notes must be sung accurately, and the rhythm must be clear." The so-called music sense, pitch, and rhythm are the basic essentials for singers. The sense of pitch comes from listening to music. You need to try singing more to hone your pitch and rhythm. Over time, I believe you will make some progress. To learn how to sing, you need to first understand how to use abdominal inhalation and the principles of vocalization. For many beginners, they don’t know how to use the Qi in their abdomen at first, and their singing is not strong enough, which makes the whole song seem out of breath, lacking perfection and proper handling, not to mention how many songs they have to sing. .

Therefore, knowing how to use the Qi in the abdominal cavity to sing different rhythms and notes is the primary topic. The so-called "Dan Tian" is the so-called abdominal qi. First, practice how to "breathe deeply": pour the qi into the abdomen to make the abdomen swell (just like inhaling when lying flat on the body, and the qi will naturally flow out). Inhale into the abdomen), and then slowly exhale the air from the mouth and make a "hissing" sound. When exhaling, first keep the abdomen inflated (the air exhaled at this time is the chest), wait until the air is almost gone. At the same time, exhale by pushing the abdomen inward. Do it for more than five minutes each time. Repeat it every day. After a long time, the time of holding the breath in the abdomen is gradually lengthened, and at the same time, the time of exhalation is also lengthened. This way The movements should be done repeatedly every day. At first, you may feel dizzy because you are not used to it. However, after such practice, the "deep breathing" movements can help boost the body or brain at any time. Spirit, and through such Qi training movements and adjusting the inhalation method, you can naturally and easily use the breath you inhale.

The Dantian is indeed under the navel, but unfortunately, the Dantian used in singing

songs is not that Dantian (cannian), so... yes, we are human beings. There are two Dantians (you should be surprised), namely the Big Dantian and the Small Dantian. The one under the belly is commonly known as the Big Dantian. It is also used for practicing Qigong or Qigong, and the Small Dantian is Well, it is located under our ribs

It is also the triangle area where the bones are in the shape of a figure of eight (Bagua). Feel it for yourself!!!

How to prove it? Existence is very simple, exhale..., keep exhaling, exhale until you have no more air

Exhale again...exhale again. At this time, your stomach will start to exert force and your face will become red.

p>

Take this moment to touch the Bagua under your ribs. Isn't it very hard? Yes, that's right.

Your little Dantian is also the powerful horse used for singing? So, when you use it

it does feel a bit like defecating, but *** you don’t need to use force, just use force on the small Dantian

.

After learning the first point, the second point is to learn how to sink Qi in the Dantian.

This point is very simple. Those who know it can do it in no time, and those who don’t just can’t.. .

The key point is,...>>

Question 8: How to practice breathing well when singing? Beginners should first experience natural breathing and teach beginners about natural breathing. , easier to understand. The breathing method when people are in their natural state is the breathing part for singing. To learn to sing, you must first learn the correct breathing method for singing. The following introduces the discussions of several Chinese and foreign vocal artists on breathing: Taylor's book quotes a passage from Manstein: "Breathing should flow out of the chest slowly and without violence, and the breath should also come out at the same time as the sound. ." Garcia said: "The function of exhalation is to compress the lungs filled with air by the chest and diaphragm, causing the breath to gradually flow out of the body." In his book, Tetrazini quoted Rampeti as saying: "Acquiring the correct breathing method is more important than anything else for people who learn to sing." ~ Marchesi also said He said: "For beginners, when you explain to him the physiological mechanical process of breathing, you must make him understand that the law of nature is that breathing can be independent of our will, just like when we sleep. It can be independent... From the perspective of the entire singing art, singing breathing is an important means of artistic expression. From the perspective of singing vocalization, the accuracy of vocalization, the beauty of voice and the expression of singing are closely related to breathing. . Many problems of singers are often caused by singers not being good at using their breathing. According to traditional singing methods, good singers must first adjust their breath, which illustrates the importance of breathing.

"The world-famous Italian baritone singer Mr. Gino Becchi said in his teaching: You should breathe when you are lying down and sleeping. The breathing method at this time is correct. Please remember that when singing, you should use the breathing when you are lying down. From the many statements listed above, we can see that many people emphasize the importance of breathing, but they also require a physiological, natural, and perfect method that is suitable for singing. Breathing method. We all know that breathing when sleeping or lying is the most natural. Although the strength support and inhalation volume are far different from breathing when singing, the breathing parts are the same. , both in the upper abdomen. The other is breathing during physical labor. When inhaling, the chest muscles contract to expand the chest. When exhaling, the inhaling muscles relax. The pneumatic muscles use force to compress the chest. This is also a completely natural breathing method. Beginner singers can experience these two kinds of natural breathing, grasp this feeling, and practice singing first. For a song called "Love the Military and Martial Arts Song", see if you can sing two bars while taking a full breath. At the place where you draw the rest, take another full breath and sing the next bar. Don't sing one bar at a time. Inhale to break up the singing flow, which is not conducive to the performance of the song.

Question 9: How to inhale when singing? Concentrate your breath on your abdomen, try to push out your abdominal muscles, and use the strength of your waist to make your voice less wavy, and you will have more confidence. Then breathe normally, and if there is any pain in your nose, forehead, mouth, or even chest when singing, If * sounds, then you’re almost done. That’s all I remember when I first learned how to sing. It was very useful to learn how to pant and lean against the wall.

Question 10: How to use breathing The breathing movement when singing high notes mainly includes three steps.

1. Inhale: Inhale vertically downward through the mouth and nose, and inhale to the bottom of the lungs. Be careful not to raise your shoulders. When inhaling, the area around the lower ribs expands. In the abdomen, the diaphragm gradually expands, causing the abdomen to expand forward and to the left and right sides. The lower abdomen needs to contract hard without expanding. The back should be straight and the spine should be almost motionless. Its sides are movable, and they must expand downward and to the left and right. At this time, the air is pushed to the sides and behind and stored there. Hold the breath and then slowly exhale it.

2. Exhale: When singing, you must still keep inhaling. This is like inflating a bicycle and you cannot relax all at once. There is also a problem of keeping breathing. To hold your breath, you must always keep inhaling during the singing process, control your breath to be exhaled slowly, save your breath, and exhale evenly. This is the so-called confrontation of breath. During the process of exhaling and inhaling, you must pay attention to your breathing. For stiffness, the entire body expression should be actively relaxed. The tense parts are the diaphragm and the two ribs. The two ribs are like a full balloon. We want the voice to sit on it and pull it down, and not let it go. When the balloon floats upward, it means that the breath must be held and cannot be lifted up. This involves the issue of the breath fulcrum.

3. There must be a breath support point when singing: the support point means that the voice must have a foothold. This foothold is the diaphragm and both sides of the lower ribs as support points. When we cough Or when you laugh, you can directly feel its supporting effect. People who have not received breathing training often blush and have thick necks, bulging veins, stiff singing voices, difficulty in going up to high notes, and difficulty in going down to low notes when singing. This is all related to the failure to maintain the breath support point. On the contrary, if we master the breathing method and have the feeling of support point, then when we sing and make sounds, we will feel that the sound seems to fall on the breath we control. In other words, the sound is supported by the breath. This kind of sound is not only It is sweet and loud, and can make various changes in strength and weakness freely.
