me, the singer

Chapter 33 is too obvious
In the entire Chinese music scene, the most popular songs must be Chinese songs.

Mandarin as a carrier.

But Cantonese songs are also a category with a very wide audience.

Moreover, due to the exceptional development of its main use area for a certain period of time, Cantonese songs have a certain popularity all over the world.

Among them, there are no fewer classic songs than the Chinese music scene.

But for singers who use Mandarin as their daily language, Cantonese songs are not too friendly.

Because... pronunciation!
After getting used to the pronunciation of Mandarin, Cantonese pronunciation is difficult to standardize.

Mandarin has four tones, but Cantonese has nine.

Cantonese has more finals than Mandarin.

Many sounds cannot find an accurate correspondence in Mandarin.

Just like Koreans can never pronounce the r sound.

The word sorry, they will always pronounce it as search.

If you don't know how to pronounce the next line of lyrics, how can you sing the next line well?

Emotions, articulation, pronunciation, breath control and connection, these are all part of the performance, interlocking.

And these elements have one thing in common, that is, they must be played on the basis of lyrics and music.

Lyrics are the flesh of music!
It is the material basis!

It is the foundation of everything in music!

Xu Fan looked at Che Xiaojia who was sitting on the judging panel.

Che Xiaojia turned her head quickly, not daring to look at Xu Fan, as if Xu Fan would hit her if she looked at her for a long time.

Undoubtedly, this was Guan Zhijie's revenge, and there was absolutely no room for relaxation between him and Xu Fan.

Of course, if only this is the case, it cannot be called targeting.

Because this is a mainland show, most of the contestants can't speak Cantonese.

This is aimed at Xu Fan, and it is a bit "wronged" for the program group.

But Xu Fan has another characteristic.

Through Xu Fan's live singing, both Che Xiaojia and Kami believed that Xu Fan's "Qi" was problematic.

According to this point, the music masters in Huanyin also focused on Xu Fan's scene, and then came to the same conclusion.

Xu Fan's "energy" is not enough!
"His physical condition is quite poor. There are also certain defects in the structure of the vocal cords and the thyroid and cricothyroid muscles. This is a physical defect that cannot be compensated by technology. If ordinary people are in his condition, they will not be able to sing at all!"

"But his abdominal breathing skills are very solid, and his control over the vocal cords is far beyond ordinary people. Relying on these basic skills, he has good breath control."

"But he needs to spend three to five times as much energy as a normal singer to sing a song!"

"Not only that, because most of his energy is used to control the muscles, so the amount of qi he can push out is actually very little."

"He is very good at singing in a breathless way, and his handling of the tail sound is superb. But it also exposed his biggest shortcoming!"

"Only those who are not strong enough can easily control this weak air flow. It's like girls are naturally better at soft and false voices than boys."

"If it is stipulated that only songs that require a lot of breath can be sung, he will definitely reveal his truth!"

Huanyin's music masters analyzed Xu Fan thoroughly.

This is what many companies will do to their competitors, analyze the opponent's weaknesses, and then use this to blackmail the opponent's singing skills, thereby highlighting the excellence of their own singers.

Xu Fan received this kind of treatment before his official debut, and he was really respected.

So how to target such "short of breath" musicians?

Bass song!

From the perspective of the principle of sound formation, if you want to make a high pitch, you need to make the vocal cords vibrate as little as possible.The fewer and lighter the parts of the vocal cords that participate in the vibration, the easier it is to vibrate multiple times in a short period of time and produce high-frequency timbres.

And if you want to make a bass, you have to vibrate the vocal cords as much as possible, so that the vibration frequency can be lowered.

And your breath pushes some vocal cords and pushes all vocal cords, the latter undoubtedly requires greater strength.

Therefore, bass songs have requirements for the thickness of the breath.

This is also the reason why the vocal range of normal girls is not as low as that of boys.

And bass, treble, and chest voice, head voice are inextricably linked.

I won’t go into too much detail here, but you can simply understand chest voice as “when Ma Dongmei’s voice is rough”, and head voice as when a girl speaks with her voice in between.

Not accurate, but very graphic.

Cantonese itself is a language that uses a lot of chest voice.

Its many pronunciations and articulations naturally mobilize the chest voice, or this kind of pronunciation is easy to add chest voice, even if you don't know what a chest voice is.

This is why many boys with thinner voices, lighter timbres, and larger white voices can suddenly become manly, deep, affectionate, and flavorful when they sing Cantonese songs.

Because they unconsciously added chest voice and improved their timbre.

Unknowingly, the high-level skills of vocal music are used, can it not sound good?
So the advantages and disadvantages of Cantonese songs appeared at once.

The advantage is that there is a natural chest voice added to make your voice better.

The disadvantage is that it is slightly lower than Mandarin songs without high pitch.In the case of the level of the same scale, more "vigor" is required than in Mandarin.

For ordinary people, this difference may not be big, or it may be difficult to detect.

But for professional singers, the impact is even greater.

Xu Fan, who is good at breathing freely, is destined to not be able to sing Cantonese songs well.

This is the law of nature.

In essence, this is not a disadvantage, but a trade-off.

A singer who can be good at multiple styles and cover various ranges at the same time does not exist in theory.

Even those great demon kings who claim to be omnipotent actually have their own relatively strongest and weakest areas.

Unless Xu Fan can master higher-level techniques, which can amplify the weak breath many times, or he can make his breath many times thicker in a short period of time, he will be able to sing Cantonese songs.

otherwise……

But neither of these things can be changed in a short while.

It still takes several years for JJ to polish his singing skills.

It took Leehom more than ten years to complete his magical skills.

Rain God Xiao Jingteng's transformation failed, and there was a serious consequence of his throat function regressing.

He is mere Xu Fan, and it is absolutely impossible to completely fill in the loopholes within a few days!

……

"By the way, there is a new change, we have to explain it in particular." Kami sat on the judges' seat and said, "We are a variety show after all, in order to ensure the best performance, what about the next show?" , we try our best to come up with a complete work.”

"Don't waste our good audio equipment."

"That is to say, if it is played and sung by itself, the expressiveness will be worse, and this will also be taken into account in our scoring considerations."

Xu Fan's pupils shrank.

Yes!
It's doggy!
To translate this sentence, it is...it is best not to play and sing.

This is tantamount to abolishing Xu Fan's three successes.

Because Xu Fanqiang is strong in the two parts of "original" and "self-playing and singing".

If he can't play and sing by himself, how can Xu Fan perform original songs?

There's no way he's got a recorded backing tape!
Absolutely!

Phantom Records this time is the picture.

They don't allow such an awesome character like Xu Fan to enter the top ten!
