Chapter 38: My Dearest (1/2)
Not necessarily, there are many factors for whether singing is good or not, such as the objective level of vocalization, the quality of high and low tones, the use of breath, etc., and subjectively, there is also the singer's emotional expression level, as well as the audience's self-feeling!
So you can't judge a singer based on the width of the vocal range alone!
But if you want to say that the vocal range is not powerful, then the answer is undoubtedly - because this is God's reward, and the acquired skills can be filled with hard work, but the upper limit of talent for you is not able to catch up no matter how hard you try!
Just take a look at the top singers in the music world, almost all of them are talented, but they also have hard work and luck......
......
Yang Ruoyi's vocal range, I don't know if I don't know, I was shocked when I tested it! Even Teacher Zou Junping felt a little unbelievable!
"I'm obedient!" Zou Junping withdrew her hand from the keys of the electric piano, she smiled half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Yang Ruoyi, what do you think? Your voice conditions are so good, how did you come to participate in the program "The Birth of a Women's Group"? The teacher thinks that if you practice for another two years, "Good Chinese Voice" can be played!"
Although their ratings are all variety shows in the first echelon, in the eyes of real music lovers, "The Birth of a Girl Group" is still a bit out of the mainstream in terms of music, far less than "Good Voice of China" - of course, there is no reference for this comparison, because "The Birth of a Girl Group" is not just music.
What do you think?
Yang Ruoyi didn't dare to think about anything now, seeing that she had startled the teacher, she only dared to stand there obediently, her fingers intertwined in front of her, a shy and lovely blush appeared on her soft cheeks, and she smiled shyly.
A2 to E6, what level is this?
The girl didn't understand much, but when she saw the teacher's performance that she was so envious that she wanted to eat herself, she could vaguely feel that she was very powerful.
If Zou Junping knew that Yang Ruoyi just thought she was "very powerful", Zou Junping would definitely be unable to help but complain!
What's more?
Zou Junping has never seen anyone who can sing a deep and magnetic voice in the bass without learning vocal music and without a little foundation, and can sing a clear and transparent and penetrating performance in the treble part!
And when she asked Yang Ruoyi to try out, she also saw that this girl didn't have any skills, but she just had a very controlled oropharyngeal pronunciation!
It really can only be explained by God's appreciation of food!
She teaches at the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music and has seen many students with good vocal skills, but most of them are assembly line "products" after art examination training, and compared with the girl in front of her, she still has a little less talent and aura!
If it weren't for the fact that he was just an ordinary teacher, he had no power, and he couldn't give Yang Ruoyi any guarantee, Zou Junping, who loved talent, wanted to encourage this girl to apply for the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music!
What a sense of accomplishment it should be to teach such a gifted student!
Of course, focusing on the present, Zou Junping still wants to recommend a song for Yang Ruoyi that can bring her talent into play.
""My Dearest", Xu Yanya's "My Dearest", this song, Ruoyi, have you heard it?" Zou Junping even changed the name of Yang Ruoyi, and asked in a more cordial tone.
Yang Ruoyi nodded hurriedly, Xu Yanya has two famous songs, one is "Fish", the other is "My Dearest", Yang Ruoyi likes her "Fish" very much, but in fact, "My Dearest", which expresses the deeper emotions that girls don't know very well, was much more popular and sung than "Fish" back then!
It can be said that "My Dearest" is the song that really established Xu Yanya's identity as a first-line female singer!
Of course, Yang Ruoyi has heard both songs many times, and there is definitely no problem in singing them.
"Come, I'll play it for you and sing it. Zou Junping smiled and nodded encouragingly with Yang Ruoyi.
Zou Junping and Yang Ruoyi next to the electric piano were very devoted, including Tang Wenfei, who listened very carefully, they didn't notice that just now because Zou Junping's test and super high evaluation of Yang Ruoyi were a bit extraordinary, the photographer who realized that this might be a good piece of material secretly took out his mobile phone and called one of the on-site directors of the program team surnamed He.
It is worth mentioning that the on-site director, whose full name is He Yanan, is still a very handsome short-haired girl, who is not very old, and is estimated to be a post-90s generation. If it weren't for the blue work card around her neck and the thick three folders when she came in, everyone might have mistaken her for a trainee participating in the show!
Now, of course, no one notices her appearance except photographers.
......
Zou Junping's playing began, her piano level was obviously very high, her fingertips pressed on the keys, and the melody flowed out like a clear and cool stream, with strong and weak emotions.
Listening to the teacher's playing, Yang Ruoyi couldn't help but follow the rhythm and nodded gently.
When the prelude was about to end, Zou Junping raised her head slightly, nodded to Yang Ruoyi, and motioned for her to start singing.
"I really want to know how you are doing, I heard that it is better for you to tell me......" Yang Ruoyi was still able to get the rhythm accurately, and she waited for the teacher to finish the chords, and then began to sing
The girl's deep voice, combined with the teacher's slow rhythm, creates a faint sentimentality!
"After that period of regret, please rest assured, I have become stronger......"
At the beginning, when Yang Ruoyi sang, there was still a little artistic conception out! Just by closing your eyes and listening, you can feel that there seems to be an infatuated woman sitting on the floor-to-ceiling window at night in front of her, her eyes staring at the neon in the distance, but thinking about her former lover......
"No matter how desolate the world is, if you have loved you, you are not afraid of being lonely......" Originally, Yang Ruoyi's bass was already very textured, and this gently raised treble came together, He Yanan, who was standing behind the camera, suddenly felt that an electric current flowed from the bottom of his heart, and goosebumps on his arms rose!
"That's good!" He Yanan turned her head to look at the photographer and expressed her amazement with her eyes.
The photographer smiled a little smugly: I'll just say it!
However, this is a layman's performance of listening to the song, although Zou Junping also likes Yang Ruoyi's voice at the moment, she still frowned slightly, as if she felt that something was wrong.
"Wait a minute!" Zou Junping stopped, and she said to Yang Ruoyi, "I want to think about it." ”
Yang Ruoyi didn't know that others had a high opinion of herself, she thought that she didn't sing very well, and looked at the teacher with some apprehension.
Zou Junping glanced at the sixteen-year-old girl, a gentle and soft smile appeared on her chubby face, and she first analyzed Yang Ruoyi: "It's not impossible for you to learn Xu Yanya to sing this song, but the teacher thinks that if you sing like this, you will feel a little less in the expression of emotions." ”
"Heo Yeon-ah sang this song when she was thirty...... In her thirties, her emotional experience is a bit bumpy, but it is also very rich, so you can hear that sense of calmness in her singing, which is difficult to explain how you have to behave to sing this feeling, because it really takes you to be at this age to understand. Zou Junping said euphemistically.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Yang Ruoyi has never even talked about love, a blank piece of paper, and she can only draw a tiger and not an anti-dog, she is not suitable for Xu Yanya's way of analyzing songs!
Like her imitation of Xu Yanya's low singing style at the beginning, it feels very flavorful to people who don't know how to do it, but to people who know it, the traces of her imitation are too heavy, and the emotional expression seems very stiff!
"It's also the teacher's fault, play so slowly for you, let's speed up the beat a little, you try to sing in a relaxed tone, you can't say it's easy, just sing in a less heavy tone, try, okay?" Zou Junping wanted to make it as easy to understand as possible. (Note 1)
I don't know if Yang Ruoyi understood, anyway, He Yanan, who was standing behind the camera, didn't understand with the photographer, they looked at each other a little blankly, and then saw Yang Ruoyi nodded, and Zou Junping began to play again.
"I'd love to know how you're doing......" Yang Ruoyi sang again.
He Yanan finally heard the difference, this time, the girl was still singing in the bass, but it was not so heavy, and it was a little more clear and soft at her age!
In such a comparison, Yang Ruoyi sang it for the first time just now, but there was a little sense of disobedience!
Similarly, Zou Junping played the electric piano briskly, and her eyes looked at Yang Ruoyi's face with undisguised appreciation.
Sure enough, she is very talented, this girl is too smart in singing, Zou Junping just clicked lightly, and she immediately changed it, and changed it so well, this kind of clean, can even be said to be a pure voice, which makes people listen to it too comfortably!
Even if the expression of sadness is not as obvious and strong as Xu Yanya, Zou Junping likes the freshness, warmth and touching feelings that Yang Ruoyi's version gives her!
If you listen carefully, you can also hear another meaning of this song, that is, "independence" - no dependence, no attachment!
Compared with memories and sadness, this expression is more liked by Zou Junping - of course, this very subjective evaluation is not universal!
But then again, the singing skills that the vocal teachers appreciate are enough to show Yang Ruoyi's vocal strength! Even if it is impossible to judge whether it is one of the best, He Yanan also believes that this girl's singing skills can stand out among the one hundred and eight trainees!
I have to mark it, let the tutor pay more attention to this girl on the first stage, and at least give her a chance to sing solo!
After all, He Yanan is the on-site director, she has not forgotten her work, and immediately opened the folder in her hand, found Yang Ruoyi's information, and made a record on it.
Wait a minute!
He Yanan's eyes fell on a few small words on Yang Ruoyi's information page - "personal trainee".
Personal Trainee?
That's a bit of a problem!
