Chapter 58: The Voice and the New Voice (3)

Just like athletes do warm-up exercises before they go on the field, singers also have their own warm-up "bodies". It's just that the singer does not move his limbs before singing, but his vocal cords and the relevant parts that assist in vocal production.

This action of opening the vocal cords to move the muscles is often heard as "opening the voice".

There are many ways to open your voice, but all of them are to get your vocal cords into an active state quickly. At this time, Ye Gui chose the most basic method of opening his voice.

I saw Ye Gui rub his face first, and then began to open his mouth to inhale until he couldn't inhale it, and then slowly exhale, this action can make the trachea and the muscles around it slowly enter the state, preparing for the next action.

Ye Gui repeated this exhalation action a few times, then relaxed the skin of his mouth, then took a deep breath, and made his mouth tremble all the time when he exhaled slowly, and the breath he exhaled continued to blow the relaxed skin of his mouth and made a "bububu" sound.

Well, to be honest, it was because everyone in the neighborhood could sing that Ye Gui dared to do this action in the corridor, otherwise he would rather say a tongue twister than use this shameful way to move his mouth.

After these two movements were completed, Ye Gui finally began to enter the key part of his voice, his method of moving his vocal cords was very simple, first he moaned in a very low air tone for a while, and after feeling that his vocal cords trembled significantly, Ye Gui sang a song with a relatively low key and soothing.

After a song, Ye Gui quickly entered the state, and he chose a song that was more active and high than the previous song, and at this time, other contestants who had not yet competed appeared in the corridor to open their voices.

Those early morning in the woods and in the practice room have already made these children who have been singing for many years accustomed to focusing on their singing voices in front of others without being affected, and for a time there were all kinds of ah-ah whining sounds in the corridor.

After the first two groups of competition, the spectators who walked around during the event time had already become accustomed to this noisy group of young people.

After the two songs were sung, Ye Gui hung a few more trebles and stopped singing.

The main purpose of opening your voice is to get into the state, and if you sing too much, you may get tired before singing, which is not good.

After opening his voice, Ye Gui glanced at the corridor and found that Wu Yuan and Fan Xiaofan were not in the corridor, and Shao Shaoning, the only person he knew, had also entered the finishing stage, singing a scale.

There was no good show to watch, so Ye Gui had to go back to the house first. Fan Xiaofan and Li Huiru were talking about this in the room, while Wu Yuan was still sitting on the side.

Ye Gui saw that these people had really experienced strong winds and waves, but he couldn't see any nervousness when the game was approaching.

Towards the end of the break, the people in the hallways came back one after another, and the audience who walked around the hall returned to sit in the theater. The preliminary round of the Huaxia Long Provincial Division finally arrived at the last group of players.

After everyone arrived, the staff came in and called the number, and the first to play was a boy from No. 37, followed by Shao Shaoning to prepare for the entrance.

Ye Gui gave Shao Shaoning, who got up, a firm look of support, and Shao Shaoning clenched his fist on his chest with a symbolic hammer and walked out.

It is said that the judges in the field at this time looked a little tired after an afternoon, especially the old man in the middle, and the two judges next to him saw that although the old man was still in good health, his spirit was still much worse than when he first came in the afternoon.

The old man's name is Li Qingrang, is the first batch of music professionals in China, studied in the early years, after returning to China, he stayed in Huhai for a few years, and became famous after becoming a music teacher at the Huhai Conservatory of Music.

At that time, the people who could go abroad were either from particularly good families or really diligent and intelligent, and it was no longer enough to describe it with the word Xueba today, it must be the kind that stepped half-step in the field of learning God.

Li Qingrang knew a lot of things, and they were all very good, and after middle age, he went to the capital to teach, and this teaching was most of his life, and he didn't return to Chang'an until a few years ago.

Li Qingrang, who returned to Chang'an, is no longer the young man with a dream, the old man's love for music is still there, but what makes him even more pleased is the students who have been teaching for so many years. Li Qingrang, who is full of peach and plums, may only be an authoritative old professor in the capital, but after returning to Chang'an, he has become a national treasure in the northwest region.

This can be seen from the judges' bench of this competition, four of the seven judges have some relationship with him, and the middle-aged man surnamed Fang next to him has listened to his classes in his early years.

And Ma Haibo, who was not one of the organizers of the judges, had also listened to Li Qingrang's small class for a year before going abroad, and now he is a student.

In this way, it seems that the old man can actually influence half of the country in this competition.

"Elder Li, why don't we rest again?" The middle-aged man surnamed Fang saw that the old man was still a little tired, and couldn't help but say.

The old man took a sip of water and said slowly: "Don't worry about Haoyan, let the players play." ”

Fang Haoyan had no choice but to give up and inform the staff that the game could start.

At this time, the players selected for the preliminary round have basically finished the competition, and there are still four people from 37 to 40, and then there are recommended players. After watching the preliminaries in the afternoon, Fang Haoyan has basically figured out the strength of the preliminaries.

Basically everyone has solid basic skills, and their singing skills can indeed be called excellent among their peers in Long Province, but it is precisely because everyone's level is similar and they attach importance to the foundation, which makes Fang Haoyan, who has seen a lot of outstanding young people in China, feel a little bored.

In terms of skills, they are not as good as singers who are one age older than them, if you want to talk about the repertoire, although today's competition is not limited to the style of songs, most of the contestants still chose the classic repertoire of the competition, especially a national song actually appeared three times in one afternoon, and the three contestants were also mediocre, so not only Fang Haoyan, but most of the judges were impatient.

The No. 37 contestant is still a singer, hearing the name of the song, Fang Haoyan couldn't help but feel a pain in the egg, and turned his head to see that the judges next to him also had the same expression.

But no matter what kind of expressions these judges have, it can't stop the contestants from singing.

So, the fourth time I walked...

A few minutes later, the contestants finished singing, and several people finished scoring, Fang Haoyan saw that the old man had no intention of speaking, and several other judges also had some prevarication, this prevarication was not modesty, but said something similar for an afternoon, which would really not want to be said.

Fang Haoyan raised his head at the judge surnamed Gu, meaning that you should say it.

The judge surnamed Gu said: "Let's say it, you also commented on this song just now, you are familiar with it." ”

There was no way, Fang Haoyan had no choice but to pick up the microphone and comment, speaking of which, this player was almost the same as the previous ones, and his mistakes were somewhat similar.

Fang Haoyan said that after speaking, the player bowed and stepped off the stage.

Looking at the player who seemed to be liberated, Fang Haoyan sighed, don't come to this song again, and then heard someone next to him sigh lightly, Fang Haoyan turned his head, and it was Li Lao who sighed next to him, so he said: "Li Lao, this song has been sung four times, do you say that we will not choose songs for the event later." ”

Li Qingrang nodded and said, "It's going to be built, but it can be seen from this question that our music is still not rich enough." ”

Fang Haoyan knew that Li Qingrang had devoted his whole life to the cause of music education, the domestic music industry was thriving, and the emergence of talents was what the old man wanted to see the most, so he said: "Elder Li, I can't say that, after all, this is a competition, and the contestants have certain limitations in choosing songs." ”

Li Qingrang knew that this was comfort, but what Fang Haoyan said also made some sense, so he nodded.

At this moment, the next contestant came to the stage, and the two did not continue to talk, but looked at the boy on the stage.

The boy's voice was a bit high, and it belonged to the brighter timbre.

"Hello judges, I am Shao Shaoning, the No. 38 contestant, and my repertoire today is "I Expect".

Yo, hearing Shao Shaoning's repertoire, the eyes of the judges in the audience finally lit up, this song is difficult, and no one has sung it until now.

A piano accompaniment sounded, and Shao Shaoning sang in his bright voice.

……

I'm looking forward to it

I'll be back one day

Back to my original love

Back to the sparkle of virginity

……

Shao Shaoning sang very easily, even like ordinary people singing a soothing song, and it was not noticeable that the key of this song was already very high.

The judges in the audience nodded when they heard Shao Shaoning's singing, but they didn't expect such an outstanding person to appear among the last few people in the preliminaries.

The judge surnamed Gu next to Fang Haoyan leaned over and said, "This contestant's strength is good, I think he can rank among the top few people before." ”

Fang Haoyan glanced at the stage, and then replied in a low voice: "I'm not in a hurry to make a conclusion now, I still have to look at the back." ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Gu nodded, indeed, the good show is still to come, and the next chorus is the time to really show his singing skills.

……

SAYGOODBYESAYGOODBYE

Circuitous and circuitous temptation

SAYGOODBYESAYGOODBYE

Struggling without a trace of regret

……

Shao Shaoning did not disappoint the judges in the audience, this soprano sang very well, loud and crisp with a hint of tenderness, and he could faintly hear a bit of the taste of the original singing.

There was a burst of applause, Fang Haoyan glanced back, this should be the first applause in the process of singing after the two people at the beginning. It seems that Shao Shaoning's singing skills not only conquered the judges, but also won the love of the audience because the songs he chose were more popular.

After Shao Shaoning finished singing, there was warm applause in the theater, which was exactly the same as the cheers of No. 2 contestant He Lan after singing the song "The Day Does Not Understand the Darkness of the Night".

Several judges began to score, and the score sheet at this time was mainly divided into two parts, one part was the song singing, which accounted for 70 points; There is also a part of the stage table xiàn, which accounts for 30 points.

Among them, there are three small items in the song singing, of which the pronunciation accounts for 20 points, and the emotional expression and rhythm sense each score 25 points.

Fang Haoyan first did not hesitate to put a high score of 18 and 23 in the column of pronunciation and rhythm, and then thought about it and wrote a score of 22 in the place where the emotion was expressed. After playing the score of the song singing, Fang Haoyan scored a very high score on the stage table, and then glanced at Li Lao's score sheet.

Sure enough, Li Lao also gave a high score, especially in the voice pronunciation column, Li Lao actually gave 18 points, you must know that Li Lao's requirements have always been relatively high, and most of the previous players were about 15 points in this column.

This time, after the judges had finished scoring, there was no longer anyone talking. Fang Haoyan saw Li Lao waving his hand, and directly took the microphone and commented.

Fang Haoyan was quite satisfied with Shao Shaoning's expression, and judging from his singing, his strength was also in front of the previous contestants, so Fang Haoyan mainly encouraged him and let Shao Shaoning go down.

The remaining two preliminaries after Shao Shaoning have entered that state of reluctance, and the top two recommended players seem to be recommended by the media, although they are popular, their strength is not much stronger than those before. So the judges also seemed to have temporarily entered a hibernation period, until the appearance of the No. 43 contestant, as soon as he opened his mouth, all the judges in the audience suddenly sobered up.

"Hello judges, I am Wu Yuan, the No. 43 contestant."
