"There are also some pronunciation skills, I'll talk to you about them first, and I'll teach you more carefully later.

"True voice, ink Peking Opera characters, also known as big voice, this voice. One of the pronunciation methods for Peking Opera actors. When singing, the qi comes out of the dantian, resonates through the laryngeal cavity, and directly emits the sound, which is called the true voice. The voice that comes out with a real voice is called a real voice. If the dantian qi passes through the laryngeal cavity, the actor shrinks the laryngeal cavity so that it produces a higher pitch than the real voice, which is called a false voice. The real voice and the false voice are naturally connected when the cavity is spoken, and there is no trace, which can make the vocal range wide and the high and low tones run freely. Peking Opera's Shengxing (Lao Sheng, Wu Sheng, Hongsheng), Jing Xing, Chou Xing, Lao Dan and other professions are sung with real voices. Xiaosheng sings with a false voice, but Nianbai uses a combination of real and false voices. False voice, also known as small voice, second voice.

When vocalizing, the laryngeal hole is narrowed, the part is elevated, and the airflow becomes thinner compared to the true voice. The pronunciation of the false voice is higher in pitch than the real voice. The Danjiao and Xiaosheng of Peking Opera both use false voices, but the strength of their voices is different. Left voice, Peking Opera vocal noun. It mainly refers to an abnormal voice in the male voice, which can be high but not low, and the voice is rigid and flat, mellow and insufficient, and some old students or martial artists who specialize in singing high-profile doors sing in this voice.

In addition, the left voice is sometimes used as another interpretation, referring to the mismatch between the voice and the accompanying instrument, which is commonly referred to as a mismatch. Raising the voice, also as a tuning voice. The singing method of Peking Opera actors is also one of the steps in the training of actors' singing skills. In addition to shouting and reciting white, the actor must also use the huqin (or drum board, etc.) to accompany the performance and practice the singing section of the opera loudly. Some use the general adjustment door first, and then raise it appropriately.
