Yamakawa voice training method

Abstract

To provide theoretical and effective voice training by grasping voice expression as the result of exercise for each part of a body.SOLUTION: To divide a body into five parts, to explain what role each part plays in performing voice expression and to perform training for preventing the operation of a certain part from affecting the other parts.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to an effective training method for voice training. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0002] In conventional voice training, the human voice has not been adequately understood physically or theoretically, and has been treated as something without clear answers and something that is subjective, with instructors providing intuitive and illogical instruction based on their own experience. This invention aims to explain "everything" about vocalization, which has traditionally been considered "something without answers" and "something that is intuitive," by explaining how to use the body and muscles, and by using the method proposed in this invention, anyone can perform effective voice training. [Means for solving the problem]

[0003] In this invention, the body is divided into five parts according to their role in vocal expression, and by understanding the role each part plays in vocal expression and using them appropriately, the movement of one body part can be prevented from affecting the movement of other parts, causing unnecessary strain. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0004] [Figure 1] Figure 1 shows which body parts do what when a person produces sound. In this diagram, the lower body is responsible for "support," the abdomen for "breathing," the chest and pharyngeal cavity for "phonation and resonance," the front of the mouth for "articulation," and the area above the cheekbones for resonating high-pitched sounds. Effects of the invention The effects of the present invention include the fact that the "human voice," which could previously only be explained intuitively, can now be explained as the result of theoretical, physical movements, and that the challenges of vocal expression become clear to students, and that by practicing specific ways of using their bodies, they can effectively acquire the skills of vocal expression.

Claims

1. The process in which breathing turns into voice and is finally produced as a vocal expression. A training method based on the role and usage of each body part and muscle.

2. In the process of human vocalization, the lower body is responsible for support, breathing is done with the abdomen, vocalization and resonance are done in the chest and pharyngeal cavity, and pronunciation is done in front of the temples of the mouth. Also, resonance, especially in the high range, is done with the muscles above the cheekbones.

3. In order to fulfill the role described in claim 2, the movement of one body part must not affect other body parts, and they must be clearly "used separately."

4. Training Procedure ▲1▼First, have the patient practice abdominal breathing 2. Next, hum. By using abdominal breathing and humming, you can "breathe." This point remains the same, so the movement of the abdomen should not be different from that of abdominal breathing. ▲3▼ Pronounce a long vowel tone. The only difference from humming is the "pronunciation" part, so make sure there are no changes in parts other than the parts responsible for pronunciation, such as abdominal movement, chest resonance, and pitch. ▲4▼ Audio expression instruction. When actually expressing sounds, abdominal movement, chest resonance, and pronunciation are all important. Check whether the movements are the same as those in steps 1, 2, and 3. Also, when making changes to pitch, tone, or other aspects of the voice, we instruct students to avoid affecting any parts other than the chest, which is responsible for "vocalization and resonance."
