How a “bad” singer can become a great singer?

五音不全如何變成K歌之王？

由容易的歌開始

　　人說話時有自已的音色和音調。開始學唱歌時，我們建議你從附合自已音域的歌開始練習。如果你是位音域較低的男性，你不應一開始便挑戰女歌手的歌，或涉及高音的歌。你應從低開始練習，慢慢擴展自已的音域。

Start with songs in your comfort zone

When you speak, you have your own natural tone voice. It will be in your best interest to sing songs or find singers who matches your vocal range. If you have a lower tone voice, try not to start with female songs or songs of an unachievable range.

音總唱不準怎麼辦？

　　你可能覺得自己是個音痴，怎樣唱都唱不準。但其實，在正常情况下人们普遍具有一定的音乐认知能力，不懂辨別音調的人只屬於極少數。若你覺得自己是音痴，很可能是因為你的喉嚨缺乏肌肉記憶去控制喉嚨唱出正確的調。換言之，你的耳朵知道正確的調是什麼，但你的身體不懂怎樣把聽到的那個調唱出來。

　　我們建議你由小練習做起。你一定有啍歌的經驗。啍歌使用的喉部肌肉比唱歌少，故較不費力且易操控。我們建議你由啍歌開始練習。嘗試以【ｍｍ】或【nya】的方式去唱歌，再根據你耳朵聽到的去調整自己的音準。你應該會覺得更容易把調唱準。

Pitch

You may have trouble matching pitch, or you are so far off from the song that you are trying to match. But remember, as human, it is very rare to be completely tone deaf. When you think you are tone deaf, chances are that you lack the muscle memory and control to link your ear to your throat. In other words, you perceive the correct pitch but your vocal cord just does not allow you to go there.

The best way to correct your pitch and tone is to start really small. Sometimes, it is easier to hum a song then to actually sing it. Compared with singing a song with a full grown voice, it is a lot easier to control your voice when you are using a small part of your vocal cord.

Imagine you are singing a lullaby, starts practising your preferred song with a hum sound, e.g. “mm”, “nye”, “hwa”, and you might just find it easier to adjust the tone.

像打哈欠一樣唱歌

　　唱歌發聲用的不只是你的喉嚨，更是在於聲音在臉部的共鳴。如果你的音準或音質有問題，或你的聲音堵在喉嚨內，不夠哄亮，其中一個可能的原因就是你的臉部不夠放鬆。

　　學習唱歌便需要學習那種臉部放鬆的感覺。伸展你的臉部，想像它處於完全放鬆的狀態。打開你的喉嚨，放鬆下巴，就像你是在打哈欠一樣。這是你唱歌應有的狀態。

Stretch your face

Singing does not occur in the throat. It has much to do with how the voice resonate on the face. If you are having a pitch or tone problem, or if your voice does not project, chances are you are having a tense face.

It is important to get a feeling of openness for the face. Stretch out your face and imagine that it is totally open. Stretch out the back of your throat and drop your jaw as if you are yawning. The space created is optimal for singing.

面對變化，害怕你就輸了

　　一個好的歌手能夠好像不費吹風之力地唱出天籟之音。但其實，要到達那個境界，要找到屬於自己的聲線，是需要很多對聲音的嘗試。在練習的過程中，你可能發覺自己的聲音變化很大，可能那個變化不如理想，甚至伴隨著【破音】、【音調不穩】的問題。

　　有些新的唱歌學生會很害怕這些變化。但作為一個歌手，【破音】、【音調不穩】等問題其實是十分平常，也無需驚怕的，也不要覺得挫折。你需知道，它將會是你進步過程的一部分。只要你持之以恆，必然能獲得成果。

Embrace your flaws while practising

Good singers make it sound totally effortless. But in reality, there are a lot of trial and error when it comes to finding your best voice. While practising and increasing your range, you might start to sound totally unlike before. You might even start to wobble or crack your voice.

Some budding singers are really held back by the changes in their voice. As a singer, it is important get used to the occasional cracks and wobbles in your voice when you are practising. Keep practising and eventually you will eventually see the progress.
