Chapter 26 Creating a Magnetic Sound (2)
"Pure Sound"

If you want to continue to strive for pure pronunciation quality, you can wipe away the harsh, rough pronunciation that has accumulated in the process of growing up.Imagine an instrument with a clear, sweet, thick and pure tone.Listen to the "broken tin can" sound from the old piano, and listen to the melodious notes from the new piano, and you will know the feeling brought by the pure sound quality.

When it comes to pure sound, simple exercises can lead to a wide range of effects.

Analyze the vowel "ɑ" and see where and how it is pronounced.We are told that it is the most mouth-opened of all the syllables.This means that the syllable can be easily pronounced by opening the mouth to the maximum.You can actually say this syllable with your lips almost closed, you can also say it at the front of your mouth, on the sides of your lips, on your tongue, in your throat.

If you say this sound with your lips, the sound will not improve because the lip sound will not be pleasing.The location of the vocal cords is in the throat, where it looks like the bottom of the larynx.Think of the throat as a deep well, and you want to make the sound at the very bottom of the well.Open your mouth and let the air flow through the lips, through the tongue, through the middle ground, through the back of the palate, and down into the throat.Then, pronounce the syllable "ah (level tone)".

The most accepted way of articulating these days is to let the tones start deep in the throat and explode in the upper teeth at the front of the mouth, which will quickly improve the purity and clarity of your pronunciation.The process is as follows, and if it is actually applied, it can quickly achieve amazing results:

1. Pronounce the syllable "ɑ" according to the method just mentioned above, try to make it sound clearer.You want to imagine that the sound is originating from the bottom of the larynx, and also imagine that the sound burst is behind the upper row of teeth in the front of the mouth.These two positions must be kept in mind.Don't let your focus take you away from there.

2. If you have mastered the two points just mentioned and can pronounce this syllable as required, then please extend the time for pronouncing the syllable "ɑ" to 5 seconds.In doing so, rely on a professional and sensitive ear that will tell you the character of the sound that is being made.Make your ear your own mentor, your own guide, your own referee.If it's doing a great job, don't forget to encourage it.

3. Listen to the syllables you utter.Is it becoming clearer?If so, look at your watch and extend the time to pronounce it to 10 seconds.

4. Then extend the pronunciation time to 15 seconds.

5. Extend the pronunciation time to 20 seconds.Continue like this continuously, adding 5 seconds each time, until you can hold an accurate pronunciation for 60 seconds in one breath.

6. When you start practicing again after a break, the length of the pronunciation should only last for 5 seconds.Don't try to see how long your pronunciation can last after a break, and start practicing from 5 seconds.Then, exhale the breath, take another breath, extend it to 10 seconds, and continue like this.Real progress comes from the habit of starting from the 5-second pronunciation.Trying to extend the time right from the start, say 20 seconds or more, is just a waste of time, or almost a waste of time.

7. Your ears will detect an improvement in the clarity of your voice.Progress will show up quickly.You have to keep making your pronunciation go on and on for the better until it's as crisp as a bell and as melodious as a flute.

A pure male voice is a resonant, clear and excellent tone that complements the masculinity of a man.The pure female voice does not contain any flaws, and the timbre sounds perfect.Pure sound is not limited to a specific audio range, but exhibits the same quality in each audio segment or in the entire audio range.Sometimes, pure sound quality is quickly achieved by constantly removing impurities from the pronunciation.This means that you first learn to open your throat as far as possible, allowing the airflow through the throat to reach the palate, eliminating hoarseness.Another bug that needs to be removed is that the air that is not used for pronunciation passes through the mouth and interferes with the tone.This can happen both when speaking and singing, and is called incomplete aspiration.Your ears can detect it and guide you to destroy it.Nasality can also be overcome in the same way.

Lesson 42

Why beautiful voices can also make people tired

Now let's explore how to make your speaking voice most pleasing and effective.Whether the song is beautiful or powerful depends on the change of scale, and it also has to do with the arrangement of timing, strength and other factors, all of which can be used to adjust the intonation of speech.Every time you take your pronunciation out of the tendency to be monotonous, the listener feels a little relief.If the inflection of your tone of voice is in harmony with the thought you are trying to express, the ensuing effect is more than just attractive.

"The Meaning of Tuning"

The word "tuning" in speech implies a change in pitch, although it may also include changes in the force and timing of speaking.

However, the most important meaning of tuning here is the change in pitch when speaking.

Most people sloppyly define pitch as dynamics.Pitch has nothing to do with the size and softness of the sound, nor does it have anything to do with the strength of the sound. It is only suitable for describing the range, or the height of the scale.A tenor singer has a high pitch, and if he speaks with the same pitch as he sings, he speaks too high.Bass singers usually speak in a low pitch, and alto singers usually speak in a moderate voice.We can say that a person speaks in a high or low pitch; but it is inappropriate to say that a person speaks in a loud or soft voice.If the pitch is higher than the beam, you can tell whether it is urgent or slow, but you cannot say how strong it is.

"boring voice"

Every human being naturally has a two-octave range when speaking, and it can be developed into a wider range by training, and thousands of people have developed this effect year after year.However, most men and women use only a small fraction of an octave, usually just one note, when speaking to people.There are millions of people in the world who only speak with one note and wonder why they aren't popular in business or socially?

Even a beautiful voice can become tiresome if it is spoken with only one note, or only a few notes.The human brain cannot tolerate a sound without a change in scale for a long time, and the nervous system is particularly disgusted by it.

If you have a nice piano, how long can your neighbors tolerate pressing a key for a long time?Most of the time, the brain's natural instinct is to fall into a drowsy state in order to escape from the monotony of sound.That's why a pastor with a monotonous voice puts the congregation into a coma or shuts down the congregation.

Most of the speakers or talkers around you who speak on one note are losers.We've saved many of these people over the past 25 years, and we hope these courses will save many more.Speech is the most important means of expression among all the functions of the human body, and it is used the most, but many people also use it the worst.

Using just one note will peak the monotony of speech, and it won't do much better with just two notes, nor with three or four.If nature has gifted us with 15 notes or more, please use them all.Some singers can sing beyond this range, but their voice is still so monotonous when they talk to others, which shows that just having a wide range is not enough.

"Voice Range"

The term "range of speech" is actually quite easy to understand, it refers to the range or breadth of pitch.Some authors divide it into registers called treble, midrange, and bass.

The so-called high register includes the highest third of the full-fledged voice range.

The midrange includes the middle third of the range.

The bass range includes the lowest third of the range.

The highest third of the voice range is called the head voice area, which is not essentially different from other voice ranges. The most notable representative is the vowel E, such as the pronunciation in the word meet.

The middle third of the range is called the laryngeal register, and is most notably represented by the vowel Ah, as in the sound of A in the word father.

The lowest third of the voice range is sometimes called the chest register, and is most prominently represented by the vowel O, as in the word roll.

The boundaries of these three sound areas are determined artificially, which can at least improve the students' practical ability to a certain extent.

Pitch development is absolutely necessary for a singer, and has special significance for a reader or speaker.Many people's singing tone is cultivated by the exercises in this book, but this book does not talk about any musical skills.A person who does not understand music at all can continue to read and understand, complete and master all the exercises in the book.When you speak and read aloud, you don't need to distinguish subtle pitches like you learn music.

"Layers of Scales"

Speech that is limited to the range of the voice will not be subdivided into scales as described in this exercise, but if you keep practicing, the situation will soon make a huge difference.Those who understand music can individually form the nine scales into a whole note, provided that the range is sufficiently wide; if the range is limited, form a single half note; A half note; if possible, two whole notes by themselves.

Rules—Arrange the various pitches in order from the highest-level pitch to the lowest-level pitch.The effect of doing this may be better than what the voice originally created, and then try to create a more perfect sound effect.

The Nine Levels of the Scale

The ordinal situation describes the emotion expressed

9 high pitch very excited
8 very high excitement

7 High Enthusiasm

6 is taller and more serious

5 moderately calm
4 is relatively low and slightly enthusiastic

3 low seriousness

2 very low very serious

1 extremely low heavy hearted

"The Meaning of Scales"

Each part of the range has its own meaning, as follows:
Relevant practice sentences for the nine scales

Ordinal description practice sentence
9 High-pitched "I repeat, sir, let it come,
let it come. "

8 very high "300 million people armed and devoted to sacred freedom

Go to business! "

7 High "Voices echoed in the dark forest corridors."

6 is higher "Accompanied by music, I come from the fragrant home."

5 Moderate "Beautiful pictures appear in the clouds."

4 lower "Friends, Romans, fellow countrymen!"

3 low "On this night, this most glorious night!"

2 very low "Roar, deep dark blue sea,

Roar! "

1 Extremely low "Immortality! Those delightfully horrible thoughts of yours!"

There is also a special case of the ninth scale, which is to shout "Hello, boatman!" The last syllable should be drawn out as long as possible, but you should keep it light, as in "Hello, boatman!"

There is also a special case of the first scale, which is described in the next exercise, when pronouncing the word "Swear" in a deep, sinister tone.

Repeatedly citing the original words that have been used for practice can develop a wider vocal range, and the results may far exceed your expectations.However, you need to strictly follow the rules mentioned above.

"How to Practice"

Some years ago a distinguished man came to us.He was sent by a famous vocal teacher with the goal of widening the range of his pronunciation.He could sing about an octave and a half note, and his teacher tried various methods to expand his range, but without success.

Almost at the same time, a politician came to us, his vocal range was almost zero.His voice has been staying on a moderate upper scale, and when he finished the whole speech, his voice has not left that scale.

For the two applicants to our course, we asked them to practice according to the following practice rules.Over time, the singer's range reached a full octave beyond what he started practicing; the politician's range reached two octaves and went on to be elected governor for 16 consecutive years.He took a keen interest in our great work and was in frequent contact with our institution.

The way the exercises are all speaking, you won't be asked to sing, every quote in the table is from the previous lesson.Begin with the fifth quote in the middle and say the following sentence: "A beautiful picture emerges from the clouds." Try to speak in a relaxed tone, as you would normally talk to someone.Repeat the phrase a few times out loud, but don't yell at the top of your lungs.

If there is a piano or other musical instruments nearby, refer to see how many notes are included in your pronunciation, and recite the quotation above. The specific pitch is roughly between the highest scale and the lowest scale.

Then, say the sentence below the fifth quotation again, the specific content is: "Friends, Romans, fellow countrymen!" When saying this sentence, the voice should be more serious, and the pitch should be moderate, not too high.Then say the next quote, "On this night, the most glorious night!" This is said in a pitch slightly lower than the fourth, and progresses to the lowest note.After that, repeat the fifth sentence, "A beautiful picture appears in the clouds." The pitch is at a moderate level.Then, move on to the uppermost scale, the ninth.

The first task is to establish the nine-level scale of pronunciation, and then expand it gradually. Practice will improve the accuracy of pronunciation of each scale.

"Low Note"

The higher the scale, the more vibrations there are in a second, and these vibrations are emitted by the vocal cords.The lower the sound, the less the vibration.This reduces the burden on the listener's ears and brain.So, the same attractive voice tends to work better at lower tones than at higher tones.

After mastering the pronunciation of each scale in the scale chart in these lessons, try saying the word "oh" with a tone lower than the lowest scale in the chart, and then say the word "swear" with a note lower than that.These few words are well suited for such a note.Imagine your throat as a deep well, and say the word "awe" seriously at the bottom of the well, and repeat it several times, each time at a lower pitch than the previous one.The above three words help us a lot, and for some pronunciations, some words work better than others.

"Easy to use with low notes"

In the bass area of ​​pronunciation, there are some notes that are soft, especially the few notes in the extremely low scale.

Keep practicing the lowest notes that are easy to do, and soon you will be able to flesh out your articulation of adjacent notes by virtue of the sympathy that comes from its proximity to the most frequently used notes.

Before long, the adjacent notes will become "handy low notes." The student should pay attention as soon as the articulation of the adjacent notes becomes full and powerful.But we must keep in mind that we must wait for the sympathetic effect to promote this sense of fulfillment, and do not artificially force this phenomenon to appear.
