What are the similarities and differences between national, bel canto and popular singing methods? How do they sing?

National singing is a kind of singing art created and developed by people of all ethnic groups in China according to their own habits and hobbies. National singing methods include China traditional opera singing, rap singing, folk singing and national new singing. Because the national singing method originated from the people and inherited the excellent tradition of national vocal music, it has diverse singing forms, distinctive national characteristics, vivid language and simple feelings.

Folk songs and songs with folk style have strong local color. Dialects can better express their contents and colors when singing, but the general rules of local languages and Putonghua are the same, so it is feasible to sing in Putonghua.

In style, the northern folk songs should be bold, the southern folk songs should be euphemistic and dexterous, the plateau and mountain folk songs should be loud and clear, and the plain folk songs should be stretched freely.

The main characteristics of national singing are that the focus of oropharyngeal cavity is relatively front, and the elasticity of oral spray is relatively large; Mainly oral * * * sounds, but also mixed with head cavity * * * sounds; Articulation factors change slowly, the edges and corners are large, the sounds move in the same direction, the sound points are appropriate and the sounds are harmonious; The voice has bright timbre, strong personality, flavor-oriented, and diverse techniques; The timbre is sweet, crisp, straight, moist and watery; Flexible use of breath; Give priority to with true voice.

Traditional folk singing is mainly based on real voice, and mostly adopts abdominal inhalation method, which is characterized by deep inhalation, but the amount is small, and the formed inhalation pipeline is relatively long, which is not conducive to the unification of high, medium and low voices. * * * sounds are mainly in the head and nose, supplemented by throat, pharynx and mouth, and a small amount of chest cavity. Form a vertical columnar singing channel from the top to the head cavity, down to the throat cavity and chest cavity to achieve the best singing effect similar to the highlights of Chinese opera, which is different from the mixed singing of Bel Canto. Relatively speaking, the national singing method is thinner and shorter than Bel Canto in the use of * * * singing tube because of the use of articulation and polishing techniques, so as to highlight the nationality. The throat opening is moderate, the throat cavity is not required to be too wide, and the Adam's apple is relatively stable. Relax the lower jaw and lift the upper jaw. The * * * sound thus obtained is concentrated on the head and nose.

Bel canto originated in Italy in the17th century. Beautiful timbre and rich varieties; The division of voices is strict, emphasizing the harmony and unity of sound areas; The sound production method is scientific and the volume is plastic; It is characterized by the consistency of gas and sound, and the smooth and even connection between sounds. This kind of singing has a great influence on the whole world. Bel canto is a singing style based on European traditional vocal skills, especially Italian vocal skills. Under the influence of the Renaissance, opera came into being, and Bel Canto was gradually improved.

Bel canto is also called "soft voice singing". It requires singers to sing at half the intensity. When the tenor is high, it doesn't need a strong breath to impact, but it uses a natural and gentle voice method to breathe from the deep part of the lower abdomen (Dantian) and release the sound freely from the top of the head through a smooth channel (the so-called "head sound").

The main characteristics of Bel Canto, which is different from other singing methods, can be summarized in one sentence, that is, Bel Canto is a mixed vocal area singing method. As mentioned earlier, Bel Canto is a combination of true and false sounds in sound, and it is a mixture of true and false sounds according to the needs of pitch ratio. From the point of view of singing, it is to mobilize all available singing cavities in singing. This kind of singing itself has its own unique "taste" and unique acoustic characteristics. The process of learning and mastering Bel Canto is equivalent to using our singing training to make our vocal instruments. The singing instruments needed for Bel Canto have a unique "taste".

Pop singing (also known as pop singing) began in China in 1930s and has been widely spread. It is characterized by natural and approximate pronunciation, with true sound in the midrange and falsetto in the treble. The voice of * * * is rarely used, so the volume is low. When singing, an electro-acoustic loudspeaker must be used, and the performance form is mainly solo, often accompanied by dance movements, pursuing natural and sweet sounds and delicate and true feelings.

The main feature of popular singing is that it is completely sung with real voice, close to the language of life, soft and natural. Emphasize passion and appeal, and intentionally create an atmosphere with the help of electroacoustic when singing, so pay great attention to the use of microphones and electroacoustic effects. Popular singing is centered on youth, which can be said to be: writing about youth and singing about youth. Young people sing, young people listen. The popular singing method that has existed since ancient times is not the typical popular singing method that we refer to now. Modern popular singing has two important characteristics, one is standard style; The second is to combine with modern high-tech electronic technology.

Articulation is one of the most important features of pop songs. Among the popular songs in China, Putonghua is the mainstream of popular singing, including songs written by the mainland, some songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan and original Cantonese songs sung in Putonghua. When singing Chinese mainland's songs, the pronunciation is mostly standardized, emphasizing the process of "pronouncing words, echoing and receiving sounds", and the words are clear and round, without affectation.

The vocal characteristics of popular singing should be like this.

First, people who hold popular singing methods should understand and be familiar with the general principles of scientific vocal methods, strive to change their spontaneous vocal habits, and put their accustomed vocal methods into the track of scientific vocal.

Secondly, starting from the scientific vocal law of * * *, I try to find a basis for the vocal personality of popular singing. In other words, every time you sing a song, you should find the rationality for the singing of popular songs from the aspects of pronunciation, singing position and breath flow. Change the habit of simple imitation or blind use of sound, from perceptual use of sound to rational use of sound
