No matter how many people, everyone sings a single part of the song, called singing in unison.

The number of people is not limited, it can be a dozen people, dozens of people or more people. You can also separate men's and women's voices.

I. Breath Overview

Breath in vocal singing is of course different from our physiological sense of breath, which is the main two aspects including inhalation and exhalation, breath control and use of vocal singing is fundamental. The first thing you need to know is how to use the breath in vocal singing. We can divide the whole process into the following levels: first of all, inhalation, at the beginning of the singing singer to use the mouth and nose to inhale the air, and then further to reach the chest, inhalation should be soft, gradual, which is conducive to the abdominal cavity can be stretched. Next is the breath maintenance, that is to say, after the inhalation, the inhalation of air to pause for a moment, to achieve the best state of qi sinking dantian. Finally, the breath of the breath recovery, when the breath out of the sound issued, the singer will have to adjust the breath, back to the original state, for the next breath to be well-prepared.

Two, vocal singing in the breath ` grasp

(a) the breath degree of grasp. In vocal singing, the grasp of breath that is the depth and shallowness of breath, mainly refers to the inhalation process of the depth of the problem, to do inhalation moderate, not too deep nor too shallow. Let's talk about the following situations, first of all, the breath is too deep, inhalation is too deep is easy to cause the sound stiff and not elastic, which will make the sound of the mobility will be poor; Secondly, if the breath is too shallow, it is very likely that in the exhalation of the breath can not drive the vocal folds, and even can not send out the voice, it is easy to appear the voice of the situation of the weak and miserable. Therefore, the singer should sing according to the specific performance, grasp the depth of the breath, the breath regulation to the best state.

(2) the grasp of inhalation and exhalation. Breath in vocal singing refers to the breath in vocal singing, that is, there are two parts of inhalation and exhalation, relatively speaking, this is a mutual movement in two directions. Breath through the mouth and nose at the same time in two directions of movement, there is inhalation and exhalation, after these two opposite airflow confrontation collision, produce a variety of exquisite sound. First of all, inhalation, at the beginning of the singing singer to use the mouth and nose to inhale the air, and then further to reach the chest cavity, inhalation should be soft, step by step, which is conducive to the abdominal cavity can be stretched, and further on the **** sounding cavity to regulate the balance of the internal organs of each voice. Once again is to exhale, exhale is the most important link, because it is related to the specific details of the voice, singers keep the breath in the abdominal cavity evenly and rhythmically sent out, and then hit the vocal cords to produce sound, the sound quality of the sound is good or bad depends on the quality of the exhale high and low.

(C) breath coarse and fine grasp. Breath is invisible, can not touch the thing, but you can really feel it is objective. In our country, the requirements of traditional theater is: "Singing should be tangible, or a line, or a column; singing if tangible, the sound is clear, whole, far, if intangible, the sound is cloudy, scattered, shallow". This emphasizes that the use of breath in vocal singing should present a certain shape, and the breath should be coherent and concentrated rather than intermittent and disorganized. For example, the Yellow River Cantata is strong and powerful, so the singer should adjust the breath to a thicker column, so that the sound has the feeling of fullness, especially in the climax stage of the song, the thicker breath should be more obvious, the breath is hard and bold, so that the singing of the song and the expression of the emotions of the same. In the singing of the works of the tune is sad sad, it is required to sing the breath to adjust to the finer line.

(D) the breath habit and pause grasp. First of all, the breath of the coherence of the grasp, the singer is required to pause in the place, can not be randomly changed to disrupt the original rhythm of the song, especially in the climax of the song part of the breath of the continuity of a good grasp. Of course, the breath of habit and pause to grasp, or to the emotional tone of the song as the basis.

Third, the use of breath art performance

The charm of the art of singing is the emotional expression of the best, so if the singer does not have a good emotional foundation, the song contains the basic emotions can not be expressed, the art of singing can not be talked about. A song to make the audience have a strong feeling and achieve emotional **** song, which requires a variety of efforts. First of all, whether the singer can y understand the author of the song in the song contains the real feelings, which is singing to achieve the effect of vibration of one of the necessary conditions. If you want others to be moved, you must first be moved yourself. This is to require the singer himself to be moved by the emotion of the song, only then have the ability to convey the feelings, and further make others be moved, so that the singing has a stronger rendering power. The singing style of art songs seems relatively delicate, like jade as crystal clear.

Four, conclusion

The reasonable scientific grasp of the breath in the vocal singing has a crucial role, which requires us to master the use of breath skills. Only in this way can we achieve a better singing effect, to achieve a high level of singing skills, and can further push the development of China's vocal art to the world stage.
