How to sing with Tian Dan?

This article is written for friends who can't breathe by abdomen yet. Watching it online doesn't help either. You must print it out and practice. What's better, there is a person beside you to watch, pinch your waist or make sure to hold it (dantian) and so on.

Breathing: Everyone can breathe, but singing needs a little training. The baby cried loudly at birth. If you carefully observe his abdomen, it will contract violently, which is actually the most correct way to breathe.

To learn to sing, the first step is to learn to breathe and learn how to inhale air into the apex of the lungs.

Singing uses the so-called breathing. The key point is not to practice breathing for a long time. You can sing without inhaling for a long time.

The most important thing is to learn how to use qi through practice.

This knowledge of "using gas" can be great. People who started to learn vocal music just learned to breathe and use gas a few months ago.

How to use qi is indeed the foundation of vocal music, just like building the foundation of a house. When our foundation is solid, the performance of music also needs to be presented with qi skills.

If music can move people, besides singing with your heart, everything else depends on your ability to use gas.

Now, let's learn the abdominal breathing of vocal music first.

Learn to breathe (exhale) first: Modern people only breathe in the upper part of the lungs.

So, how can we inhale air into the lung tip? Learning abdominal breathing can not only increase vital capacity, but also make a preliminary preparation for how to use qi.

Why do we say "breathing" instead of "breathing"? The ancients may really know something about what we are talking about now, that is to say, we must learn to exhale first, and then learn to inhale!

In fact, what I want to say is how to spit out the air in the lungs first.

Because only in this way can air naturally enter the lungs, and it is likely to directly enter the apex of the lungs.

So exhaling is a learning project.

If I say please spit out all the air, you spit it out, but did you really spit it out? Actually, not necessarily.

After you think you have vomited all of it, try to hold your breath, and then vomit hard again. At this time, your abdomen will definitely droop. Hold your breath again and vomit again. When you feel that your abdomen is about to stick to your back, you really spit it out, and then open your mouth to let the air automatically suck into your lungs. Because of your natural survival instinct, a large amount of air will enter the lung apex directly.

Learn to inhale again (inhale)

In order to ensure that the abdomen can breathe, you can put your hand on the lower abdomen and keep it about an inch below the navel. If a boy has a belt, you should put the belt under it, and then exhale and inhale according to the method just mentioned. When the air naturally enters the tip of your lungs, you should feel your hand pushed out.

If your hand doesn't move, it's probably because you inhale too hard. Because of bad breathing habits, the first half of the lungs will get angry. If your shoulders are raised and your chest is dilated, that's the problem.

Remember to relax and never lift your shoulders when inhaling.

If the hand placed on the abdomen still does not move, when inhaling, you should think that you must push your hand out this time and think down when inhaling.

You might as well press inward with your hands, which will make it easier to guide qi to the apex of your lungs. If necessary, ask someone to hold your abdomen, especially when inhaling.

It is usually easier to inhale slowly through your nose, but when you have finished inhaling, it seems too late to inhale through your nose. Because of the instinct of survival, it is much faster to breathe in with your mouth open and it is easier to inject air.

step

To sum up, the exercise steps are as follows:

1, relax and breathe evenly.

2, compress the lower abdomen so that the gas can be quickly spit out from the mouth, hold your breath, and never inhale.

3. Repeat step 2 until you feel your abdomen almost sticking to your lower back.

4. Hold the lower abdomen with your hand and open your nose to suck air into the lung tip. At this time, your hand should be pushed up.

In this process, most people will make a mistake, that is, they will take a small breath every time they exhale. Our goal is to exhale all the air, so we must wait until the fourth step to inhale, and we will feel energetic.

Breathing air into your lungs will give you a very satisfying feeling. Try not to expand your chest when inhaling. It depends on your wishes.

Some people's forestomachs will swell quickly, but they can't suck any more. Therefore, it is necessary to control the front abdomen not to bulge, and try to lower the diaphragm to let the air go down to the apex of the lung.

The above methods are mainly aimed at people who can't breathe in the abdomen, so that they can enjoy the satisfaction of air being sucked to the top of the lungs.

If you learn it, you won't have to bother to inhale in the future, and you can easily inhale air into the lung tip.

In fact, under some natural conditions, people just breathe on their stomachs without knowing it. For example, when lying flat, relax your whole body, put your hands gently on your abdomen, and then slowly inhale the air, and you will find that your hands are pushed up.

At this time, think more and let the pushed part of the hand move down further until it is about two inches below the navel. If even this side will protrude slightly, then your breath will definitely go deep into the top of your lungs.

Another way is to raise your hands and inhale slowly. At this point, the chest can no longer expand because of this action, and air is more easily inhaled into the lung tip.

Because abdominal breathing is an innate ability of human beings, it is not difficult to learn. I've never met anyone who can't teach!

How can you be sure that you have learned it? Several phenomena can be observed.

1, the shoulders will never rise.

2. Abdominal expansion is earlier and bigger than chest expansion.

If your chest expands first and then your abdomen when inhaling, it means that your usual chest breathing habits have not completely changed. When inhaling, it is best to keep your chest still and focus on your abdomen.

3. The lower back will also expand when you take a deep breath.

The principle is simple. When the apex of the lung is filled with air, the diaphragm will definitely move down, and then other organs of the body will be squeezed to other places. The phenomenon is that the abdomen and the whole waist will swell.

You also see that some people put their hands on their hips when singing, which is to ensure that the air is sucked to the top of the lungs, because the hands will feel it.

In fact, if you are used to it, you can freely control the downward movement of the diaphragm and let the air enter naturally. It's like the principle of pulling open the needle cylinder to inhale air is the same.

When learning abdominal breathing, use it more and make it your breathing habit. In other words, it is easy and natural to inhale air into the lung tip at any time.

Actually, it is to learn to control and use the diaphragm. So take a deep breath after getting up early every day, inhale when doing gymnastics, jog, sigh, want to shout loudly and so on. In short, when you need more breathing, you should use abdominal breathing.

Fill the lungs with air

In fact, our lungs are usually not filled with air, and abdominal breathing may not fill all alveoli. Here's a way to fill every alveoli with air. Do it ten times in the morning, with plenty of oxygen and energy!

Is to hold your breath, hold your hands high, and then inhale. At this time, you will definitely inhale air into the abdomen (lung tip). I won't say much before.

When you feel full, you will slowly straighten your hands to the left and right like a cross. At this time, you will slowly inhale.

This action has the function of expanding the chest, so it can let the lungs suck in more air; Then, before all this is over, put your palm on your head, as if you were captured, and you can breathe the air again. Wow! At this time, the lungs feel like they are going to explode. Don't overdo it. In this way, your lungs are filled with air. Then slowly put down your hand and exhale. Comfortable!

Let's briefly sort out the methods of abdominal breathing and introduce some other methods of practicing breathing. Let's all try and get what we need.

Method of training abdominal breathing

1. Exhale (Exhale):

First of all, learn to spit out the air in your lungs completely. At this time, it is easy to fill the lung base by inhaling again, and the abdomen and waist circle will protrude, which should be very satisfying. Therefore, learn to spit out the air before inhaling.

To compress the abdomen, it is really necessary to completely spit out the air in the lungs, and it will be done in two seconds.

You can exhale three times in a row, and you can't breathe in air again.

You can slowly bend down and exhale to 90 degrees, and you must completely spit out the air in your lungs.

I feel that my front abdomen and back are about to touch.

The feeling that the air is completely spit out is like suffocation, so you have to inhale quickly.

2. Inhale:

The most important thing about abdominal breathing is to learn to suck air to the top or bottom of the lung and form a habit. Suck fast and suck slowly to be successful.

For the first point, we will feel suffocated when we exhale air. The instinct to survive will make us take a deep breath of the atmosphere. At this time, inhalation is easy to fill the lung base and should be completed within one second. Try to put your hands on your abdomen and waist, and your abdomen and waist should be prominent.

Don't hold your chest out when inhaling, because that means the gas is sucked into the upper chest (that is, the upper half of the lungs) and can't be sucked in.

Trilogy of Best Abdominal Inhalation:

(1) Surrender: Hold your breath, hold your hands high, and then inhale when you feel almost full.

(2) Crossing: Slowly straighten your hands to the left and right like crossing, and still inhale slowly at this time.

(3) Captive style: Put your palm on your head again, as if you were captured, and you can inhale air again.

This will fill the lungs with air.

You can slowly bend over and inhale to 90 degrees, and feel that the abdomen and waist are getting tighter and tighter.

Inhale slowly through the nose, and it is easier to inhale deep into the lung base.

Inhale slowly through your mouth like a straw, or inhale deeply to the bottom of your lungs.

To open your mouth and suck quickly, you must first lower the diaphragm quickly.

Inhale when you are frightened.

Inhale when you lie down.

You should practice more if you vomit quickly and suck quickly. (panting like a dog)

Inhalation of singing

Breathing in before singing depends on the needs of the phrase:

Usually the nose and mouth inhale together, which can absorb enough air in a short time.

Strong and bright sentences need to be filled with air, and the upper lungs of the chest need to be filled with air, so it is necessary to inhale with a wide mouth and nose in order to inhale quickly and fully.

If the remaining time is long enough, inhale deeply through your nose. But you should open your mouth and pronounce vowels before singing.

When inhaling, think about the position and mouth shape of the sound at the same time.

Hold your breath before singing. If it is short and powerful, it will take longer to hold your breath.

Gas training

Breathing is different from exhaling. Breathing is mainly about practicing average exhalation. The exercise method is as follows:

Make a sound:

The easiest way is to pronounce it with ㄘ, and the breathing sound of air through the lips and teeth can be heard clearly. Make a sound after inhaling, and the sound should be stable on average, indicating that the exhalation is stable. Then practice stretching time. You can also imagine the pitch when you speak, which will be helpful to the actual position when you use gas.

Blow out the candles:

After inhalation, blow out the candle, but not blow it out. You can only blow the candle sideways, not back and forth. Then practice stretching time.

Blow small pieces of paper:

Stick a small piece of paper (such as the one that is most suitable for pharmacy) on the wall, inhale immediately and blow on the small piece of paper. Just keep a small piece of paper for more than ten seconds, and then practice for a long time.

Use your oral skin or tongue:

Shut up and relax, then blow out the air and let your mouth vibrate quickly. Then practice stretching time. Pronunciation with the tongue dr, that is, like the R consonant in German, and quick vibration of the tip of the tongue with qi. Then practice stretching time.

These methods can make the breath long and stable, which singers must practice frequently. In addition, it is also important to practice holding your breath.

Holding your breath can not only practice breathing, but also practice muscle control of your throat.

In fact, at the beginning of every phrase, you should hold your breath before singing, so as to control the change of voice.

Vocal music training takes time, and there is no miracle. "Ten percent wisdom, ninety percent effort."
