Traditional Chinese Opera Skills and Vocal Methods

1, the cavity is unobstructed. Keep breathing and make a sound. Keeping the soft palate will automatically lift, the nasal cavity will be excited and expanded, and at the same time, the larynx will naturally drop, and the pharyngeal tubes (nasopharynx, oropharynx and larynx) will be pulled apart from each other, expanding the space volume of the cavity and making the vocal tract spacious and unobstructed. This state is the state of "opening your voice", that is, the state of singing. The famous French physiologist Yu Song called it "recessive yawn". It provides the necessary conditions for the circulation of sound and breathing.

2, breath synchronization. When the breath is inhaled, you don't exhale immediately, but pause for a moment so that the breath is not spit out. At this time, the breath under epiglottis should be full. What kind of feeling is this? Just like a faucet, it will splash after opening, but it can't "open the faucet" completely. Breathe out your breath and voice gently and go out together through a narrow throat.

3. Insist on protecting your voice. To make a clear and clean sound, it is most important to protect your own voice. Mei Lanfang, a famous Peking Opera artist, shared his ways to protect your voice: eat less greasy and irritating things; Eat more fruits containing vitamin C; Lose your temper less and avoid getting angry in your throat; Don't eat too much before the performance.
