Vocals - from the Latin "voice" - the oldest musical instrument available to man. The range of the human voice reaches three octaves. In addition to the usual techniques (legato, staccato, film tour, trill, melisma), the voice can perform a poetic text, that is, the transmission of verbal information. Therefore, in any work for voice with accompaniment, he performs the leading part. Specially selected exercises, vocal and breathing exercises, as well as a special diet help to improve the voice.
Instructions
Step 1
The main vocal schools (pop, folk and academic) do not recommend eating for an hour or two before singing. In addition, food taken before singing should not be excessively greasy or sweet, scalding hot or icy. Fat and sugar remain on the ligaments in the form of mucus, and temperature excesses impair the elasticity of the ligaments. At the same time, it is recommended to drink a glass of warm milk with or without butter. Lactic acid clears excess mucus from the vocal apparatus while you wait. After that, it is better not to eat.
Step 2
Breathing exercises must necessarily precede the beginning of singing work, although in many cases this stage is ignored by teachers. The system of breathing exercises, which became a guide for both singers and actors and announcers, was developed by the singer and doctor Natalia Strelnikova. The exercises of her complex are freely available on the Internet and are sold in bookstores.
Step 3
Singing exercises to strengthen the voice are selected by the teacher. The general provisions are as follows: jumps in wide intervals (quints, octaves) with glide elements and smooth downward movements. It is recommended to push the stomach forward on an upward movement. Then pressure will be created below, on which the voice will "lean".
