The vocal methods of Peking Opera

Introduction: Pronunciation method refers to the way and state that the larynx, oral cavity and nasal cavity control the airflow when pronouncing, including the way to form obstacles and overcome obstacles when pronouncing, the strength of airflow and whether the vocal cords vibrate or not. The following is my arrangement of the pronunciation methods of Peking Opera for your reference.

(1) True voice is also called big voice and native voice.

One of the pronunciation methods of Peking Opera actors. When singing, the breath comes out of the abdomen, and it sounds directly through the throat cavity, which is called true voice. Use the voice from the real voice to call the real voice. If dantian qi passes through the throat cavity, the actor narrows the throat cavity to make it emit a higher tone than the real voice, which is called false voice. The real voice and the fake voice are naturally connected when they are in the cavity, so that the range is wide and the high and low voices can operate freely without showing traces. Peking Opera's life (old students, martial students, red students), clean lines, ugly lines, Lao Dan and other businesses all use their true voices when singing. Xiaosheng sings with a fake voice, but speaks with a combination of true and false voices.

(2) False voice is also called Xiao voice and Er Ben voice.

One of the pronunciation methods of Peking Opera actors. It is relative to true voice, loud voice and native voice. The sound made by a falsetto is called falsetto. When vocalizing, compared with the true voice, the throat is narrowed, the position is raised, and the airflow is thinner. The pitch of fake voice is higher than that of real voice. Both Dan Jiao and Xiao Sheng in Beijing Opera sing with fake voices, but the rigidity and softness of their voices are different.

(3) Left voice is a vocal term in Beijing opera.

It mainly refers to an abnormal voice in male voice, which can be high but not low. In addition, the voice is just flat and round, and some old students or martial arts students who specialize in singing high-pitched doors sing with this voice. Old students have pure left voice, and some have their own left voice. In addition, the left voice is sometimes used as another explanation, which means that the voice is out of tune with the accompaniment instrument, that is, it is generally called out of tune.

(4) lifting the voice is also used to adjust the voice. The singing practice method of Beijing opera actors is also one of the steps for the actors to exercise their singing skills.

Every day, in addition to shouting and chanting, the actors must also practice the aria in the singing opera with the accompaniment of the huqin (or drum board, etc.). Some use the general tone first, and then raise it appropriately. Function of hanging voice:

1. By practicing singing loudly, the voice can meet the requirements of singing on the stage. Due to continuous exercise, the voice can become louder and rounder, full of strength, clear and powerful, and maintain durability.

　2。 Familiar with accompaniment, fully understand the relationship between aria and accompaniment, * * * grasp the size, understand the meaning of the song, express the feelings of the song, so that the cooperation between singing and accompaniment can be harmonious, and then achieve artistic tacit understanding and coordinate the performance style of the whole aria.

(5) Shout, a method for Beijing opera actors to practice their voices. By shouting, they can exercise each vocal part and correctly pronounce the local sound of each vowel.

Generally speaking, in the early morning, in the open area, single vowels such as "hmm", "yi" and "ah" are shouted loudly, from low to high, from high to low, and repeated. After the voice is Frank Shu, practice with aria.

[6] dantianyin, also known as xiangtang, is a vocal term of Beijing opera.

When an actor sings, his lungs are full of qi, and his lower abdomen is hard, which seems to sound from the abdomen (which is called the abdomen about three inches below the navel). Generally speaking, the traditional method of singing traditional operas also thinks that Dantian sound is the best (that is, the sound can be heard far away).

⑺ Yun Zheyue, a vocal term of Peking Opera.

this is a metaphor for the mellow and implicit voice of the old student. This kind of voice sounds dry at first, but it becomes louder and more beautiful after singing, which makes people feel mellow and has unlimited potential. It is a beautiful sound quality formed by long-term exercise. Tan Xinpei and Yu Shuyan's voices all belong to this type.

⑻ collapse, the term of Beijing opera vocal music.

In the middle and old age, because of physiological relationship, actors lose their voices and can't sing at all, which is called falling down. Some actors love their voices and keep their vowels unchanged when they are old. Actors who sing with fake voices are more likely to collapse when they are old.

⑼ Posterior sound is a kind of Beijing opera vocalization. Also known as back tone.

in general pronunciation, qi comes out of the abdomen, sounds through the throat cavity and is emitted directly. Although the sound in the back of the head is the same as that in the abdomen, when pronouncing, the throat cavity is slightly compressed, the back pharyngeal wall is opened, the soft palate is improved, and the sound is sent to the head cavity, where it meets with the nasal sound, so that the sound is circuitous behind the head and sounds through the head cavity, giving off a subtle and profound tone. The pronunciation of the back of the head is vigorous and powerful, and it can be heard far away, but it is not sharp when it is heard near. In the singing of the old students and the pure angle, this kind of singing method is often used whenever there is a closed tone (such as "one-seven-way"). There are fewer people who use the retroflex in Dan Jiao's singing, but Cheng (Yan Qiu) school sometimes uses it.

⑽ Huangqiang, also known as Huangqiang, Huang Tiao or Liangdiao.

Beijing opera vocal terms. Refers to the inaccurate tone of an actor's singing, and it is customary to refer to the tone change slightly below the tone. Most of them are caused by the actor's innate physiological conditions, such as vocal cord variation and inaccurate ear sounds. Sometimes it is also caused by poor vocal practice.

⑾ Maodiao is a vocal term of Beijing Opera.

refers to the singer's singing tone slightly higher than the specified tone. Most of them are caused by congenital physiological conditions. Some are temporarily out of order due to physiological conditions (such as vocal cords); Sometimes it is also caused by poor vocal practice.

⑿ walking board is a vocal term of Beijing opera.

refers to an actor's singing that does not conform to the prescribed beat. There are various kinds of grooves in the singing of Beijing Opera, such as one board with three eyes, one board with one eye and running water board. If you deviate from the rules of the board eyes and lose the rhythm, it is called walking board.

[13] Out of tune is a vocal term of Beijing opera.

refers to the tone of an actor's singing, which is high or low and does not conform to the prescribed tone. Habit is out of tune.

[14] Qikou is one of the singing methods of Beijing Opera.

refers to the method of inhaling when an actor sings a song. All kinds of vocals in Beijing Opera are of different lengths and rhythms. Only by mastering accurate inhalation methods can actors sing leisurely and beautifully. Air ports include air exchange and air stealing. Breathing refers to inhaling in the interval of singing, and stealing gas means inhaling in the intermittent phrase without making the listener aware.

⒂ Breathing is one of the singing methods of Beijing Opera.

when you are singing, you must inhale first and make full preparations. Breathing is not to stop singing or to sing after a short pause, but to breathe and store gas for change at the moment when the line is full of words. Where to take a breath in singing varies from person to person, and is generally called the air port.

stealing gas is one of the singing methods in Beijing opera.

it means that there is no trace when breathing, and it is stolen when the audience is not aware. For example, in Catch and Release Cao, Chen Gong sang "It's hard for me to get back to the horse when the horse is in the lane". After singing the first six words and the word "inside", he used the interlude "I" to "steal" a breath, so as to sing the "it's hard to get back to the horse" below, which is called stealing gas.

⒄ Ga tune, in the singing of Beijing Opera, is commonly called Ga tune when a word is sung with a high-pitched voice.

For example, the word "Fan" in the sentence "Standing at the palace gate is called Xiao Fan" sung by Yang Yanhui in Shiro Visiting Mother, and the word "Tian" in the sentence "Sweeping up the contribution at three quarters tomorrow noon" sung by Huang Zhong in Dingjun Mountain are all called Ga tunes.

talking long seems to increase the volume.

⒆ smashing a rammer is a metaphor for an actor's effort when he sings like a rammer, which means derogatory.
