How to train announcers

Announcer's pronunciation skills: breathing training

Breath is the strength and foundation of human voice. When broadcasting and hosting, the speed, flow and pressure of breath are directly related to the sound level, strength, length and * * * ring. It can be said that in order to control sound and language, we must learn to control breathing.

The so-called "breath control" is to learn the method of combining chest and abdomen breathing. In life, people's instinctive breathing is shallow breathing, that is, only chest breathing. When broadcasting or hosting, use this instinctive breathing method to pronounce. After a long time, the vocal cords will be tired and hoarse. Thoraco-abdominal breathing is to take a deep breath and inhale air into the diaphragm at the bottom of the lung, where most people wear their belts. It usually inhales through its nose and gas from the diaphragm, so that its ribs naturally expand outward. At this time, the abdomen feels bloated. With the gradual contraction of the lower abdomen, the breath also comes from the depths of the lower abdomen, which promotes the pronunciation of vocal cords. The sound made in this way is not only loud and powerful, but also lasting, which can keep the whole sentence full and round. On the contrary, if the diaphragm collapses as soon as you exhale, the breath will be released as quickly as a broken ball, and the sound will lose its support. The problem caused by this is that the first few words are supported by breath, and the words behind them are not supported by breath. Speaking will feel strong before and weak after, out of breath. Breathing itself is laborious, and the sound is hard to last. The next part about breathing training will be devoted to discussion. Here are some methods of breathing training.

1. Soft leather exercise

The most common is "silent yawning", that is, when yawning, you deliberately don't open your mouth, but try to inhale and exhale through your nose.

2. Abdominal counting method

Lie flat on the bed, press a stack of books on your abdomen, take a deep breath and count backwards from 1 This is a compulsory training for respiratory output, in order to enhance the control of abdominal muscles and diaphragm. When doing this exercise, you can press a few books less at first and increase them gradually, that is, step by step. In order not to occupy working time, you can do this exercise before going to bed.

3. Aeroacoustic counting method

Take a deep breath, hold your breath for a few seconds, and then count from 1 in a uniform, low, breathing voice, just like whispering. Just like abdominal counting, it can be a few at first. However, it should be noted that when counting, try not to hold your breath and not to leak.

4. Running and reciting poems

If you have mild asthma while running, you can recite a short piece of ancient poetry. At the beginning of training, two people can cooperate, trot side by side and recite sentence by sentence. When reciting, try to control no wheezing; After reciting a poem, you should adjust your breath before continuing. In addition, it should be noted that this kind of training is not allowed during strenuous exercise.

5. Stealing air for ventilation

Choose an article or paragraph with more long sentences and read it at a faster speed; When the breath is insufficient, use the skill of "stealing breath" to determine the best position for breathing after reading. The so-called "stealing gas" means not inhaling at the same time as making a sound, but inhaling a part of the airflow at an extremely fast speed without being noticed. Ventilation, suitable for both nose and mouth, mainly nose, grasp the time difference, so that the airflow is full and powerful.
