想音域更闊更廣？如何擴張胸腔發聲音域？// How to Expand my Range of Chest Tone?
問：你好，本身我有很低的胸腔音，我可以唱得比大多數的女孩低音，也可以唱得比女高音更高，但我的胸腔音音域很快就會跑調。有什麽練習可以快速擴張胸腔音的音域？ - from Kira
Question: Hello. I have a low chest tone. I can sing a deeper bass and a higher pitch than most of the girls. However, my chest tone range is off tone easily. Are there any vocal exercises or singing tips that can expand my chest tone rapidly? - from Kira
Kira,
首先，胸腔音不需要比女高音的G調更高。很多的歌手會推高胸腔音，在第二階段的時候會出現破音。這時找混合音是最好的方法。
想擴闊音域前，先要了解胸腔音與混合音。混合音常常被誤解成胸腔音。因爲兩者都有圓而實的音質，並且可以沒有什麽壓力也可以輕鬆將胸腔音推得很高。而事實上混合音是頭音和胸腔音兩者的混合。胸腔音是胸腔和嘴的共鳴，而頭音主要用頭的共鳴。混合音可給予頭音和胸腔音一些空間。
運用混合音的唱歌技巧一開始會有些困難，但好的導師應該可以幫助你唱到混合音。但如果你自己在家嘗試不了的話，可以嘗試以下的小秘訣。
混合音小提示：
1.當你在上高音，你需要縮窄元音。所以一些“ee”音會慢慢想“ih”的音。想象一下嘴唇的唇角在動。
2.保持空氣流動的平穩性，這裏不是叫及加或者是拿走氣壓。加入更多氣壓會產生壓力，也會逼使喉嚨升高。帶走空氣會令聲音變得弱和不穩定。
3.保持平衡和降低喉嚨。當你越唱更高更圓的音，你的喉嚨會慢慢上升。你可以唱更低更實的音。想象一下史路比的聲音，你應該就可以。（事實上你不會用這樣的方法唱歌，但這會幫助你提升你的喉嚨。）當你能降低喉嚨輕鬆地唱歌，你應該慢慢減少用這種方法。
我覺得從頭到胸腔會比較容易過度。有頭開始從頭音，然後當胸腔音的音域成熟時看完慢慢發展。但確保你要保持縮窄元音。當你可以實踐到這點，你可以完全地把頭音和胸腔音聯係上。
你可自己調整這個過程。但要確保唱歌的過程中不要增加大多氣壓。保持開放、共振就可實踐到。若在唱歌時感到困難，不仿尋找專業意見,更容易領悟不同的唱歌技巧。
Hi Kira,
How to sing better and wider with your chest tone?
First, it is not necessary to sing a higher pitch than G chord of soprano. Most of the singers would push up their chest tone. However, it would crack their sound when they sing in the second status. Finding the mixing sound would be the best method.
Mixing sound is always misunderstood as chest tone, because both of them have a tone quality that is round and firm. Besides, they can push up the chest tone without pressure. In fact, mixing voice is the mix of head tone and chest tone. Chest tone is the resonance between head and mouth. Head tone is mainly the resonance of the head. Mixing voice can give some space for head tone and chest tone.
It may be difficult to use mixing sound at the beginning,but good teachers can help you to sing mixed sound. If you cannot use mixing sound at home, you can try the singing tips below. Singing tips for mixing sound:
1. When you sing high pitch, you need to narrow the vowels. You can imagine you are singing “ih” sound when you are singing “ee” sound. Imagine your lips are moving.
2. Keep a smooth air flow. It does not mean by adding or removing air pressure. Adding air pressure will produce pressure and push up your throat. Removing air pressure will weaken and destabilize your voice.
3. Keeping balance and lower your throat. When you sing a higher sound which is more rounded, your throat would be higher gradually. You can also sing a lower sound that is firmer. You can do it by imagining the voice of Snoopy. (In fact you do not need to sing in this way, but it can help to push up your throat.) You can reduce to sing in this way gradually when you can sing with your deep throat in a relaxed way.
I think it is easier when you sing from the head to the chest. Start with your head tone and have further development when your chest tone range is mature. However, you should keep narrowing the vowels. When you can manage it, you can link your head tone with the chest tone.
You can manage the whole process, but make sure not to add too much air pressure. You can achieve it by keeping your throat open and produce resonance.
If you still have any difficulties in singing, feel free to contact Sing and You vocal coaches to seek for professional advice and learn more singing techniques.
