4. The difference between identity and sense of identity:

< p>The expression of the speech is non-performative. You cannot play a role in the speech. There is only one self in the speech process. The speaker himself is always himself. Even if he is learning the behavior of a certain character or speaking the language of the character during the speech, he is still using "I" That is, the speaker's identity is "learning" his appearance or relaying the character's language.

Reciting is performance: playing the role, the second self. Regardless of the Stanislavsky system: it advocates the unity of the actor and the role. Is it still Brecht's "distance method" that requires actors to maintain a certain distance from the role and not merge the two into one? The actor must be higher than the role, control the role, and perform the role to be moved by the work and enter the role. Express the emotions of the character, and then infect the audience.

The reciter communicates indirectly with the audience as a character, and this kind of communication is only needed in a "telling" situation. More often, the reciter needs to forget the audience and only have the work in mind. Situation and language.

9. Differences in pronunciation processing: The most fundamental difference between recitation and speech is the pronunciation of words: the trailing sound after the end of a word is the image of the waveform of the pronunciation. That is to say, there is a tail after the end of the word (please refer to the explanation of the "13-step opening method"). The sound of the speech is relatively linear, and the bend is the recital tone. The sound is curved and curved. Therefore, recitation is relatively more musical and chanting.

10. The difference between stop and stop processing: the stop and stop of speech are divided into semantic pauses and grammatical pauses. Mainly, while the recitation is mainly based on emotional pauses and musical pauses.

Rely on sound. When singing the protracted sound of a word, you must use the "shaped sound", which can restrict the return sound of the word from being blocked and ensure that the return sound of the word can be strong or weak and can be used freely. It can fully bring out the actor's realm level. "Shape-like sound" is also a word in Chinese characters. If the word "Shape-like sound" appears in the lyrics, then its "Shape-like sound" is the return sound of the original character. That is, the "closed word". Because it can prevent the "open sound character" from running away and play the role of holding the "open sound character". Because the "shape-like sounds" are all "open-voiced characters", and the correct pronunciation of the original character is "closed-voiced characters", and the "shaped-like sounds" are "open-voiced characters", the larynx is relaxed when it is in the open-voiced state, and the pronunciation of the characters is easy to escape. The throat of the Guiyin of this character is in a "closed position" and is easy to lock, so when singing, they restrict each other, and no one can do without the other.

Regardless of Chinese operas, songs, or foreign songs, no one can do without "Yinzi" and "Shape-like sound". If you really understand "Shape-like sound", you can clearly distinguish the singing even if you don't understand foreign languages. Whether the singer’s voice is clear or not, no matter which country’s operas or songs are based on sound, the sounds they produce can be clearly understood according to the Thirteen Rules of China. Accurate classification, then the quality of his voice will be clearly visible (this only refers to the "shape-like sound").

"Shape-like sound" is the pronunciation of Chinese characters, and "Yin-yin character" is closely related to the Thirteen Daozhe. "Shape-like sound" and "Shape-like sound" have no national boundaries. Although there are different languages ??in the world, Different, but the pronunciation is the same in the world. Which country does not have Ayin, Yiyin, etc.
