“vibrato？ Impossible, right? Brother Xue asked in great surprise. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Brother Xiaobao and Lin Wenjie also looked at Ye Zi at the same time, and they also felt that the question raised by Ye Zi was extremely strange.

Vibrato, which means vibrato, is a particularly important part of singing songs, or a singing technique. No matter what kind of singing style, vibrato occupies a very important position, and in the singing of popular songs, vibrato is far more important than bel canto singing and ethnic singing. In pop songs, vibrato usually appears at the end of the sentence, and some singers can consciously control this vibrato, while others can't.

In the singing of pop songs, vibrato is particularly important for emotional foreshadowing, rendering, confiding, and outburst, and it can play a key role in putting the finishing touch.

Of course, Brother Xueyou's vibrato singing skills are very mature, and there are a large number of vibrato in each of his songs, and even the vibrato that tremors greatly in the hearts of fans has almost become a signature expression of Brother Xueyou's singing.

So for Ye Zi's question, Brother Xue You expressed considerable surprise, and Brother Xiaobao and Lin Wenjie naturally expressed their surprise. Ye Zi will actually "pick thorns" in the most distinctive places where Brother Xueyou is the best, this is ...... What do you want to do?

Maybe they haven't thought about such a question at all, is this vibrato like the one sung by Brother Xue You's really invulnerable?

Of course not.

If this is the case, there is no need for Brother Xue Youge in his previous life to significantly revise his singing style in the later stage, especially in the singing of Chinese songs, and this correction began with the album "Kiss Goodbye".

Before this, the vibrato tremor in Brother Xueyou's singing was very large, some short tail notes were obviously weak, and the vibrato tremor of long notes was a little unnatural. The reason for this is that when dealing with these vibrato, Brother Xue uses the method of controlling the vocal cords rather than controlling the breath, or more precisely, most of Brother Xueyou's singing is achieved by controlling the vibration of the vocal cords, and a small part uses the breath to form the vibrato.

In some songs, this vibrato sounds fine, and it can be weakened by post-processing of the song, but in other songs, this over-amplitude, weak, and unnatural vibrato cannot be corrected and compensated for by post-processing, so that these vibrato treatments can become a dissonance factor in the singing. This defect is most evident in the singing of Chinese songs.

Among the four Chinese albums released by Brother Xueyou before, "Love Is Gone", "Distant Her", "Blue Rain", "Half of the Moon", "My Hand Through Your Black Hair", "In the Depths of My Heart", "Déjà vu" and other Chinese songs that fans are familiar with and love, whether they are covers or originals, this problem is very obvious. Of course, this problem also exists in Cantonese songs, but compared with Chinese songs, this problem in Cantonese songs is not obvious, and most of them will not affect the listening and appreciation of fans after post-processing, and only occasionally there will be places that make people feel uncomfortable listening to them.

In any case, vibrato has now become a major obstacle to the further improvement of Xueyou's singing, especially in Chinese songs.

But the problem now is that although Ye Zi clearly knows this, Brother Xue You and Brother Xiaobao are ...... Is it acceptable? You see, as soon as Ye Zigang mentioned vibrato, all the people present expressed their surprise.

……

"Brother Xueyou, don't you think...... Did you use Vibrato too often in this session? Especially in the A section, I don't think there are some places where you shouldn't use vibrato, and even if you do, it won't be as obvious as when you sang it. Facing Brother Xueyou's surprise and rhetorical question, Ye Zi said calmly.

Ye Zi is actually scratching his head a little now.

It is quite difficult to convince a full-fledged music superstar like Brother Xueyou, each of them has their own insistence, even if such insistence is wrong, they will definitely stick to their mistakes until it is proven to be proven. But this problem must be addressed immediately, because it will be one of the key factors related to the ultimate success of this Chinese album.

Brother Xueyou's first four Chinese albums failed to achieve the expected results, which of course has to do with many factors such as song selection, production, distribution, publicity and so on, but vibrato is not natural and uncomfortable enough is also a very important factor, which will make the Chinese songs sung by Brother Xueyou sound a little clumsy and unnatural. Under the attack of so many excellent local singers in the Taiwan Strait, such singing cannot emerge.

Ye Zi must solve this problem, but he will not directly accuse Brother Xue You's vibrato skills as soon as he comes up, and it will not be good if he expresses too bluntly and arouses Brother Xueyou's rebellious feelings. Brother Xue You's now a real emperor superstar, if you want to question that there is a problem with his singing, then of course you can, but you must really find the problem, and at the same time, you must pay attention to the way of speaking.

This is the face and dignity of every emperor superstar, not every emperor superstar can listen to Ye Zi's criticism and suggestions calmly like Sister Mei. This is the first time that Ye Zi and Brother Xue Youge have really cooperated, and there is no harm in thinking a little more and thinking a little more.

Therefore, Ye Zi chose to start with the number of vibratos and the place where they are used, which will make it easier for Brother Xue to accept Ye Zi's opinion. After Brother Xue Youge accepted and recognized Ye Zi's point of view, Ye Zi was able to slowly lead to the real problem. If you can't even accept such a view, it will be even more difficult to move on.

However, Ye Zi has also considered the solution in that case.

……

"Little leaf, I think...... It seems to be fine. Brother Xue You was still silent, so Brother Xiaobao said loudly: "You play back what you just recorded, and I'll listen to it again." ”

"Okay, I'll let it go." Ye Zi immediately prepared the equipment for playback, and said at the same time: "Brother Xueyou, you also listen carefully, don't worry about other places, just listen to vibrato." ”

The song sounded again, and after more than a minute, Ye Zi stopped the device.

"It's a little bit more."

As soon as the singing stopped, Brother Xueyou's voice came from the monitor speakers.

"The first few sentences don't need to add vibrato at all, but it sounds more contrived. Xiao Yezi, I understand what you mean, let's do it again, I know it in my heart. ”

Brother Xiaobao nodded silently and didn't say anything.

Ye Zi started again.

After another more than a minute, Brother Xue Youbei took the initiative to stop.

"Little leaf, how can I ...... Why do you think it's weird to sing, it's a bit like you can't show it. Xiaobao, how are you listening outside? There was a rare hesitation in Brother Xueyou's voice.

Brother Xiaobao thought for a moment and said, "This time it sounds a lot more refreshing, I think it's quite new and attractive to me." But after it was refreshing, you seem to have lost a lot of your singing taste, and I don't understand what this is all about. Little leaf, what do you say? ”

"There is a problem, but Brother Xueyou, it's not a big problem, it's just an unadaptability after a sudden change in singing habits." Ye Zi smiled: "Otherwise, you can sing it completely according to your feelings first, and I will help you record it first, and then you will sing according to my requirements later." When the time comes, we will compare the two singing songs together to see which one is more suitable for this "Kiss Goodbye", and then we will make a final decision. ”

"Brother Xueyou, what do you think?"

This is a plan that Ye Zi has thought of a long time ago, only by making the two kinds of singing before and after form a sharp contrast, and clearly put it in front of him, will Brother Xue Youge really know where there are deviations and mistakes in his singing.

This is more effective than Ye Zikong saying thousands of times.

"Okay, let's do it then."

Sure enough, Brother Xue Youyou immediately "took the bait".
