How to practice singing and control your breath?

The basic essentials of controlling breath when singing.

Under normal circumstances, the average person breathes every minute 16? 19 times, each breathing process is about 3 or 4 seconds, and when singing, one breath is sometimes extended by more than ten seconds, or even longer, with short inhalation time and long exhalation time. You must master the essentials of keeping your breath in your lungs and exhaling slowly, so you must first:

( 1)? Deep breathing, slow breathing control, stretching exercises? .

The main point is: learn first? Gas storage? Press the air to exhaust the waste gas first, and then use the gap between the tip of the nose and the tip of the tongue? Smell the flowers Just like that, naturally inhale gently until you are full. Then, you will sink into your abdomen, slowly relax your chest ribs, and let your breath slowly exhale like a long stream of water. Breathe evenly, and the longer you control it, the better. Repeat 4? Six times.

(2)? Take a deep breath and practice slowly calling the number?

We call it the first step. Suction and push? ,? Suction? Breathing inward? Push? Outward and downward breath, in? Push? Do breathing extension exercises at the same time. We recommend three training methods:

1. Counting exercises:? Suction? Same as before. Are you online? Push? Count gently and quickly at the same time? 123456789 10? ,? Count your breath repeatedly until you are exhausted, and see how many times you can count it repeatedly.

B, is it? Calculation date? Sports:? Suction? Same as before. Are you online? Push? At the same time, softly: go out of the east gate and cross the bridge. There is a jujube tree under the bridge. Take a bamboo pole to beat dates. How much is green and how much is red (enough air)? One date, two dates, three dates, four dates, five dates? Let's see how many dates you can count. Repeat 4? Six times.

C, counting gourds? Sports:? Suction? Same as before. Are you online? Push? Read aloud at the same time:? Golden gourd, silver gourd, only 24 gourds in one bite (enough breathing). One gourd, two gourd, three gourd, this breath is consumed. Repeat 4? Six times.

Count the numbers? Calculation date? 、? Count gourds? Control your breath, so the more you practice, the more you control it. Never run out of breath. There will be pain in the abdomen at first, and after a period of practice, you will consciously make great progress.

(3)? Deep breath, slow breath, long tone practice?

After breath practice, the voice began to join gradually. This exercise is still based on practicing qi, supplemented by vocalization. At the same time, choose a mid-bass area and give it to the boys gently. Huh? Voice (? Loud voice? Send? Huh? Is it harmonious to send and practice), the girl sends? Huh? Voice (? Small voice? Huh? It is delivery). Hold it in one breath, and the sound outlet is cylindrical and wavy, which can be long or long and can be practiced repeatedly.

(4)? Hold your breath and break your throat?

This is an exercise with half a voice and half a breath. Put your hands in your waist or protect your abdomen, and rush out from the abdomen to your forehead and hold your breath. The sound is mainly low and elastic. After these exercises, you can practice the basic skills of vocal music.

Methods of controlling breath when singing.

(1) Breathe on the upper chest. This kind of breathing is a way to control breathing with the upper chest. Its inspiratory volume is small and shallow, only reaching the upper part of the lungs, which is easy to cause tension in the muscles around the throat and neck and make a tight, dry and inelastic straight sound. This phenomenon is common among beginners, especially amateur singers. This is a bad breathing method and needs to be corrected.

(2) Abdominal breathing. This kind of breathing is a breathing method that relies on the expansion of soft ribs and the expansion and contraction of the lower abdomen. It is deeper than the upper chest inhalation, but it also has its limitations. Because of the deep inhalation, the breath is often not smooth, which affects the vocal parts, and the timbre in the middle and low voice areas is dim, and the voice is inelastic and low.

(3) Thoracoabdominal combined breathing. This kind of breathing is a breathing method that uses the chest, diaphragm, ribs and abdominal muscles to control breathing. This breathing method is a scientific and physiological breathing method recognized and widely adopted by modern Chinese and foreign vocal music circles. This breathing method has many advantages. Strong breath control ability, even and moderate exhalation, more breath can be stored, breathing fulcrum is obvious, range is expanded, and high, middle and low tones are coordinated.

It is not enough to know the breathing method, but it takes long-term unremitting practice to achieve the freedom of singing.

Practice method of controlling breath when singing

1. Breathe fast and breathe slowly: this breathing method is the most commonly used when singing. You should practice often. The specific method is: inhale quickly, pause slightly, and exhale slowly. You can understand it this way: imagine that a long-lost friend suddenly appeared in front of you, and you gasped in surprise, almost crying and stopped in this state. After a few seconds, it seems that there is an external force pushing back the lower abdomen, and I feel that the lower abdomen slowly exhales in the confrontation with this external force. At this time, the diaphragm has played a strong supporting role.

2, slow breathing slow breathing: slowly inhale the air, pause for a while and then slowly exhale. It can be understood that when you receive a bouquet of flowers you like, you are happy to smell the fragrance of the flowers. At this time, you will find that your chest naturally bulges forward and upward, not artificially, while the rib muscles, including the waist, expand around at the same time, keep this state, and only relax and exhale the muscles below the abdominal diaphragm. When you breathe, you want to blow out the candle and blow down the burning candle, but not blow it out. In this way, keep the candle burning for a long time and then take a breath. To achieve this requirement, inhalation must be as natural, calm and soft as smelling flowers. When exhaling, you must be even and temperate. Similarly, if you want to practice slow breathing and fast breathing, you should breathe slowly first and then blow out the candles immediately.
