唱出天籟之音 How to Sing Beautifully

要斷定一個人是否一個好的歌手有很多個不同的因素。事實上，只要你能唱到大部分音符的音準，你的歌曲聽起來都會不錯。但是無論在其他的因素上做得有多出色，只要在以下這兩個因素做的不夠好，你都會比業餘歌手唱得更差：

節奏：什麼時候該開始或結束唱歌，和歌曲的韻律都一定要是對的。唱錯了的話，別人不僅會覺得你不懂這首歌曲，還會覺得你沒有節奏感，甚至會感覺你有「聽障」，還要跟你玩「估歌仔」呢！

音準：跟伴奏唱在同一個音調上並確保音於音之間的音程也是不可或缺的。因為人在分辨不同歌曲的時候除了根據歌詞外，便是靠著辨識這些音程。因此，「走音」也像是告訴了觀眾你對音樂一竅不通。

雖然音質、力度、風格、對歌詞的了解、選擇適合你的音域等等都是唱歌重要的因素，但是只要節奏和音準沒有做好，你就難以被稱為一個好歌手了 。

There are many ways to determine whether a person sings well or not. In fact, if you can hit most notes correctly you shouldn't sound very bad. But no matter how well you do in other aspects if you don't do well in these two you will never sing well: 1. Rhythm - You must start and finish each phrase "on time". You must also get all the rhythms and beats accurate. If you fail to do so, it could be hard to even distinguish what song you are singing.

2. Pitch accuracy - If you are singing harmony, beware of intervals and make sure they are correct. While sound quality, energy, style, familiarity with the lyrics and the vocal range are all very important aspects in singing, pitch and rhythm accuracy come top of the list as the must-have for all professional singers.
