How beginners get rid of singing with their throats

Beginners need to find the fulcrum of the singing breath to break the habit of singing with their throats.

The fulcrum of the singing breath is to use the diaphragm and the sides of the lower ribs as support points, and when you cough or laugh, you can directly feel its supporting effect.

People who have not undergone breathing training, often when singing, their faces are red and their necks are thick, their muscles are violent, their singing voices are stiff, their treble does not go up, their bass does not come down, etc., all of which are related to the fact that the breath support point is not maintained.

On the other hand, if you master the breathing method and have a sense of support, then when you sing and make a sound, you will feel as if the sound falls on the breath you control, that is to say, the sound is supported by the breath, and this sound is not only pleasant and loud, but also can make various changes freely.

Mr. Becky, a famous Italian baritone, said, "To open the throat correctly is to feel the neck expand in all directions. "The muscles on both sides of the throat are sore, causing the Adam's apple to go down, which is the sensation of opening the throat.

The key to opening the throat is to establish a vocal mechanism in the inhalatory state. The epiglottis is the organ located between the base of the tongue and the larynx, it is the gate of the larynx and protects the glottis. Inhalation and vocalization erect the epiglottis without covering the larynx, and the sound can be amplified and beautified.

Therefore, the first thing to practice before singing is to inhale and make the epiglottis stand up.

Here's how:

Every singer must fully understand and use the method of breath vocalization and breath control (i.e., the breathing method of the diaphragm), because in the whole vocal function series, singing breathing is the most important part and the foundation of the entire singing building, so it is necessary to clarify the importance of breathing and pay attention to the basic skills of singing breathing.

Opening the throat and stabilizing the larynx is the core of the basic skills training of singing, which is one of the keys to the smooth development of the singer's vocal skills.

Vocal exercises

Vocal practice is a comprehensive basic skill training of singing and vocalization, and learning to sing must start with the most basic vocal practice.

1. Do the practice of obtaining the fulcrum of the breath, experience the cooperation between inhalation and sound, and use scientific humming methods to experience and adjust your own singing resonance.

2. Learn to open your mouth and sing, loosen your upper and lower teeth, and have a loose "feeling of falling off" with your jaw loosely touching the tip of your tongue against your lower teeth.

3. When singing the octaves, from low to high, the vowels are not broken and sung together, and the oropharyngeal cavity is open from small to large at the same time.

4. The smooth coordination of the breath makes a mellow and unobstructed sound.

Beginners change the method of singing with their throats, and the direction and consciousness of exerting force change from the original high-pitched upward singing to high-pitched downward singing.

When the direction of force is downward, the force will extend downward from the position of the chest vocalization, finding the fulcrum of the abdomen. The balance and confrontation of the two forces can control the breath and prevent it from being used too quickly. If the breath is insufficient, the throat will be squeezed, the impact of the two forces on the larynx will be reduced, and the muscles of the body will not be too stiff.

When the two forces are balanced, the breathing pressure increases and the treble goes up.

The stomach relaxed, and then a monotonous "ah" sounded, this time in the throat. Then the abdomen is forced, and while contracting hard, a "ah" is heard. You will obviously feel that the latter makes your pronunciation easier, and you will feel that when the abdomen contracts forcefully, there is a force from the throat and eyes to the mouth, mixed with your dry mask sound, this is the breath sound, which can guide you to use the abdomen to force the sound.

The reasons for the throat pulling are:

1. Body stiffness when inhaling: Very nervous and deliberately inhaling will cause the abdomen to retract, the chest to lift, the neck and shoulders to stiffen, and the neck muscles will be stuck at this time. Desperately inhaling causes the body to open and the vocalizations to be unbalanced.

The whole body, especially the abdominal muscles, is strongly supported, and the state of relaxation and expansion is lost, resulting in the inability to speak normally.

2. The position of the larynx is unstable or the state of the body is unstable: because the position of the throat changes naturally and is part of the opening of the body. The position of the larynx naturally decreases during inhalation and needs to be stabilized.

At the same time, the rest of the body needs to be full and relaxed after inhaling so that it can produce a stable sound. <>

3. Tension of neck muscles: The muscles of our neck, that is, the neck muscles, are easily stiff due to tension. Let them relax, especially the muscle groups that they swallow when they take a sip of the water. We want them to relax and be quiet and not sing with us.

Here's how beginners can get rid of singing with their throats:

1. Correct singing posture. Correct singing posture is very important, because poor singing posture can easily affect breathing and pronunciation. You should keep your body upright, your spine straight, your shoulders relaxed, and your chin slightly downward, allowing airflow through your throat smoothly.

2. Breathing exercises. Breathing is the foundation of singing, and only by mastering the correct breathing technique can you sing with good sound quality. Abdominal breathing exercises can be used to strengthen lung capacity and oxygen intake, while also strengthening the respiratory muscles and improving breathing efficiency.

3. Pronunciation practice. Pronunciation is one of the most important skills in singing. In the process of practicing pronunciation, attention should be paid to the shaping of the mouth and the clarity of pronunciation. When pronouncing words, you should make full use of the space in your mouth and the position of your tongue to make your voice more rounded and clear.

4. Sound placement. Sound placement refers to placing the sound in the right place to make the sound louder more visceral and natural. Attention should be paid to the relaxation of the larynx, do not squeeze the vocal cords too hard, and use natural breathing to allow the sound to produce autonomously.

5. Theoretical learning. Theoretical learning can help you better understand the structure and rules of songs, and master how to sing songs according to the rhythm, beat and melody of songs, so as to avoid the habit of using your throat to make sounds when singing.

6. Communicate with professionals. Singing is a technical job, blind spots and misunderstandings will inevitably occur in the process of self-study, it is recommended to communicate with professionals to learn, even if it is through the Internet** connection is also very popular with learners.

Tips for beginners to get rid of their throats and sing

1. Correct breathing method.

When singing, it is very important to have the right breathing technique. Many beginners use their throat to exert force while singing, resulting in throat injuries. The correct breathing method should be:

Take a deep breath, inhale air into your abdomen, and exhale slowly. This can make the sound more natural and soft. You can practice deep breathing and exhaling slowly, which can help you breathe more naturally when singing.

2. Pay attention to the control of tone.

Many beginners find that their pitch is inaccurate when singing, which is also a manifestation of throat singing. The correct tone control should be: control the pitch by adjusting the position of the voice, so that the sound can be clearer and more accurate.
