A complete collection of basic knowledge of singing and vocalization
1) The beginning of the word should be sung short, soft and accurate
Most of the pronunciation of Chinese characters begins with a consonant. The head refers to the beginning of the pronunciation, which is what we often call the "five tones": lips, tongue, teeth, teeth, and throat.
Labial sounds: b, p, m, f
Vingular sounds: d, t, n, l
Dental sounds: j, q, x
p>
Dental sounds: z, c, s, zh, ch, sh, r
Throat sounds: g, k, h
When pronouncing these five categories, The point of exertion should be clear, and the exit should not be ambiguous. The force part of labial sound words is on the lips, and the nozzles of the upper and lower lips should be strong and clear. Tongue sounds are placed on the tip of the tongue, dental sounds are placed on the teeth, dental sounds are placed between the upper and lower teeth, and guttural sounds are placed on the throat. We should make full use of the skills of word enunciation to enhance the appeal of songs.
2) The long belly of the word
The belly (final) is the long part of the word in the pronunciation of singing. It occupies a longer duration and has the loudest sound when singing. It is the longest part of the word. The main part is most closely related to vocalization. It needs to be lengthened and can also be lengthened. It plays a key role in the quality of singing. The introductory part is divided into four categories according to the mouth shape requirements of different vowels in the belly of the word: Qi, Kai, Pu, and He, which we call "Four Hu".
Open mouth: a, o, e require the mouth to be opened when pronouncing.
Qiqihu: ī or a vowel starting with ī, the mouth is flat when pronounced, the breath flows out through the gap between the upper and lower teeth, and the teeth are pressed hard.
Choukou call: ? or a vowel starting with ?, when pronounced, the upper and lower lips are slightly forward, and the lips are pressed hard.
Hekou: u can be the final vowel that begins with u, and the upper and lower lips are drawn together to form a round shape when pronounced.
?Sihu? is used when introducing a long word belly. The shape of the mouth must not change with the change of the tune, but should always remain unchanged. Whether the voice is round and coherent in singing mainly depends on the accuracy, consistency and smoothness of enunciation and pronunciation.
3) The final pronunciation of the word should be clear
The suffix refers to the ending part of the word. In singing and pronunciation, any word with a suffix should be closed before the word is sung completely, otherwise only half a word is sung. Words with a single vowel do not have suffixes and do not need to be pronounced as long as the vowel sounds are intact and not out of shape. For words with compound vowels, careful pronunciation should be paid attention to. For example:
When ending the rhymes of ai, ei, uai, and uei, the i sound should be included. The corners of his mouth were slightly open to the sides.
When closing the rhymes of ao, ou, iao and iou, the u sound should be closed and the lips should be slightly pinched forward.
When n is the final sound, the soft palate descends, the tip of the tongue touches the upper gums, blocking the oral passage, and the airflow passes through the nose, retracting the forward n sound.
When ng is the final sound, the soft palate descends and the base of the tongue rises against the soft palate, blocking the oral passage and allowing airflow to pass through the nose.
When the ending of a word is pronounced, it should be pronounced naturally, short, accurate, and light. The ending position must be accurate, the loudness must be moderate, and the timing must be such that the sound stops immediately. Our country has many languages ??and characters, with ever-changing variations, and the ending parts are also different. In our country's traditional singing, the rhymes of Chinese phonetic sounds are summarized into thirteen rhymes, which is the meaning of the rhymes we often encounter in poetry. We call them "Thirteen Rhymes".

3. About tones
Chinese is a language with tones. Tone is the pitch change of a syllable or word when it is pronounced alone. Chinese The four tones in language are used in pronunciation and enunciation. Although the words are pronounced clearly according to the three-part structure rule, if the tones of the words are wrong, the spoken words will still be easily misunderstood. If we match the four tones properly, we will form a contrast of tones, with ups and downs, high and low, long and short, which makes it pleasant to read aloud and easy to sing, which emphasizes the beauty of the rhythm and melody of the poem. beautiful.
In short, the language of singing is inseparable from the three parts of the sound, rhyme, and tone of the pronunciation. Only by mastering the combination of pronunciation rules and dialectically handling the relationship between each part during singing, and according to the Only by making corresponding changes according to the emotional needs of the song and fully expressing each word can we truly complete the articulation of singing. Another point that needs to be emphasized is that the most important thing about articulation and enunciation is to study how language expresses emotions. Generally speaking, when singing brisk songs, articulation and enunciation should be particularly light, agile and flexible; when singing majestic marches, articulation should be strong and strong; When singing lyrical tunes, the articulation should be graceful and soft; when singing slow-tempo songs, the articulation and enunciation should be smooth and connected, so as to achieve the purpose of "carrying the words with emotion and conveying the emotion in the words".
