Chapter 400 Project sound audition begins! (Please subscribe ~ monthly pass!)
The location of the sound audition was right next to an exclusive music studio of Pengcheng Lot Company.

The studio space here is very large.

But today it is very crowded.

In a place like Pengcheng, there are indeed many opportunities.

However, the pressure of competition has also increased exponentially, and the degree of involution is serious.

Even before the official notice of the audition project was announced, gossip had already spread within the group.

Li Shaojie auditioned himself.

What kind of concept is this for the grassroots people who are engaged in the music industry, or those who have singing ability and musical talent?
It's almost obvious to tell you.

[As long as you are selected, you are waiting to take off and make a fortune, and reach the pinnacle of life]

Good guy.

The whole fuck is crazy.

Wait until the audition notice from the lot company comes out.

On the day of registration for the audition, there are majors and non-scientific ones.

There were already people waiting at 04:30 in the morning.

By 05:30, the registration desk was already blocked.

In fact, the real audition registration time starts at ten o'clock in the morning.

That's how competitive big cities can be.

Many people have worked for a long time and prepared for a long time, just to be able to seize an opportunity as much as possible.

Registration for this audition starts at ten o'clock in the morning and ends at eight o'clock in the evening.

lasts for three days.

And the formal audition session lasted for a week.

It is even comparable to the auditions of many talent shows.

It is not easier than interviews in some large companies.

because
Among so many people, who can be selected.

only one person.

However, everyone also knows.

On the surface, only one person is chosen.

But in fact, not being selected does not mean failure.

If it is very characteristic and can be noticed, it also means more opportunities.

Those who haven't signed a contract may be favored by entertainment companies.

Perhaps the entertainer signed by the entertainment company can take this opportunity to officially take off.

And some entertainment companies that have cooperated with the lot company are naturally also staring at such an audition.

after all.

If you can let Li Shaojie praise you.

That proves that at least Ni singing is fine.

Next, on this basis, as long as you pick the one with the best appearance and operate it, it is really not difficult to promote a good artist.

soon.

The day of the audition came.

Li Shaojie got up at eight o'clock in the morning, and after tidying up with Lu Qiuer, he came to the lot company.

In the studio, the staff are ready to finish.

There was also a line of applicants preparing for the audition outside the door.

"Is Christine here?"

"It's coming soon."

Hearing Li Shaojie's question, the staff answered and thoughtfully served two cups of coffee and a few desserts for breakfast.

Then turn on the air conditioner and adjust it to the most comfortable temperature.

Immediately after Li Shaojie finished eating, he handed over the resumes of the applicants in batches.

And outside.

Many people preparing for the sound audition were either a little tired or a little nervous.

Most people skip breakfast and just drink something to soothe their throats.

Don't even dare to drink too much.

Some of the contestants who auditioned tomorrow and the day after tomorrow stood outside the gate.

In the hot weather, look inside.

There was a worry on his face.

I was afraid that the person who made Li Shaojie extremely satisfied would appear in front of him.

The people behind that really have no chance.

However, this is also impossible.

opportunity
Really indescribable.

soon.

Christine also came to the studio.

"Well, let's get started."

After a brief chat with Christine, Li Shaojie spoke.

The audition will officially begin.

In front of Christine and Li Shaojie, there are rows of professional equipment.

Around, there are some staff and assistants.

On the opposite side of the listening room is the place where the players audition one by one, separated by soundproof glass.

soon.

The auditionists began to enter the arena one by one.

Looking at the resume in his hand, Li Shaojie frowned slightly.

In fact, for this audition, there is no need to read any resumes.

Even though.

It's hard to fake a resume.

But it doesn't mean you can't.

Looking at some flashy resumes may have the effect of fooling others, but in Li Shaojie's view, those honors are simply too childish.

No matter what the ranking in the vocal music competition, or the scholarship from the art academy, there are works, and the performance is very successful.

all fake.

Only one is true.

your performance today.

Auditions are slightly different from interviews.

A simple interview may not reveal a person's ability to work.

But the audition is fine.

What level you are, just open your mouth and it will be exposed.

As for whether you are nervous or not, how well you play.

Then you just need to bear it yourself.

"Old teacher, I am"

The first one to play was visibly nervous.

This is a beautiful woman who looks to be in her early 20s.

"Sing the song you prepared first."

Li Shaojie went straight to the point.

"Oh, good!"

The woman froze for a moment, then opened her mouth immediately.

The audition is unaccompanied.

Under the expensive acoustic equipment, there is no interference of any accompaniment.

It can be said that your voice is completely dissected and displayed to the people behind the glass.

Any feature, any blemish.

will be magnified infinitely.

And even a little out of tune can't be hidden from the ears of Li Shaojie and Christine.

The woman quickly began to sing.

It was a lyrical pop song.

Li Shaojie frowned.

Sigh slightly.

Turn off the communication equipment in the recording studio.

Spoken a few words with Christine.

"Oh, this won't work."

"."

Christine raised her eyebrows subtly.

It's not that he sang badly.

There are still flaws, but it's actually pretty good.

But
"This resonance area is too high."

After singing a short section, Li Shaojie shook his head.

The woman's singing was interrupted.

After all, with so many people waiting, I really don't have time to listen to you sing a whole song.

However, this is not unfair.

After all, as soon as an expert makes a move, he will know whether you have it or not.

That teacher Ma threw out with five whips in one hand, and the capitalized embarrassment floated in the air, and Bruce Lee raised his leg casually, and you could feel that this person could kick you to death.

"It's not your fault, but your voice is really not what we want."

After Li Shaojie finished speaking, the woman's expression clearly told others that her mentality had collapsed.

"Next one."

Sighing, Li Shaojie shook his head.

After all, someone has to be eliminated.

Any sympathy will only be unfair to other people.

What Li Shaojie is looking for is a female singer who can have a "comfortable" layered voice.

In other words, to explain it professionally, it means lower resonance.

And the general phenomenon is
The resonance area of ​​domestic singers is generally higher.

More head voice.

Nasal and pharyngeal sounds are assisted.

Therefore, the overall resonance zone is very high.

Singing like this, if you sing well, it will be very ethereal, if you sing mediocre, you will feel like the big white voice of many popular actresses in the current market.

There is penetration.

But no base.

What Li Shaojie is looking for is someone with low resonance.

That is. There must be a very strong chest resonance.

Many people listen to Chinese and foreign pop music and feel that
Some foreign female songs seem to be more powerful, more imposing, and more explosive.

But it seems that some domestic actresses can only sing lyrical songs without explosive power.

It is because there are too few actresses who focus on chest resonance.

More still like to use the head voice.

The chest voice is the source of the sense of power.

With the resonance in the lower half, it will not make the sound flutter.

Soon, the next player continued to appear.

Until four o'clock in the afternoon, take a short break.

Li Shaojie didn't fancy anyone.

This actually has a lot to do with the current vocal music education in China.

Vocal music is a huge subject.

There are so many singing styles in the world, and each singing style has different characteristics.

And the education of popular vocal music in China
Really late start.

It can even be said that the study of European and American pop vocal music and the attitude of humbly learning are really insufficient.

Most of the domestic vocal music is also led by ethnic and bel canto.

Popular vocal music education lags behind.

The reason why countless excellent pop singers can be cultivated is because of the bel canto singing method, the unique national singing method in China, and even the experience of opera singing.

Those singers of the older generation, relying on their strong singing skills, used and transformed them reasonably.

Therefore, there is a unique Chinese pop music singing method.

but!
Based on the experience of other singing methods to strengthen popular singing methods, although the significance of singing and the degree of artistry are beyond doubt, it has a negative impact on the subsequent educational significance.

For a long time, in an environment where European and American popular singing methods have not been spread in China, many professors would even say self-righteously, "You have sung the national (bel canto) well, but don't you sing casually when it is popular?"

Then, I will give you a bunch of examples.

XX boss is not just ethnic XX boss is not just bel canto, don’t you think it’s the same for them to sing pop?
But in fact.

People have mastered their own style.

It doesn't mean that the students behind you are suitable.

Homogenization is serious.

Moreover, it seems that it can never be separated from the bel canto nation, making pop vocal music a subordinate branch.

If an independent system cannot be formed, popular vocal music must be regressive in the sense of education.

then.

Many people will think, I want to sing pop, should I learn the bel canto to lay the foundation?

Actually this is wrong.

Pop singing is not a substitute for Bel Canto.

It is a modern and new style of singing that can be paralleled with bel canto and nationality.

Until recent years.

There are really a group of pop music singers who sing the essence of European and American pop vocal music and master it well.

After returning, he led the progress of the entire industry.

but.

This is just the beginning.

In fact, there are still too many places to learn and make breakthroughs.

"Sorry, you're not what we want."

Li Shaojie has rejected many people.

"Your show of strong-mix strength is too weak, the problem of raising your throat and pulling is too serious, very unnatural, and the sense of strength is our rigid requirement, so... I'm sorry."

A little girl left sadly.

The audition continues.

The next person to invite is the next victim.

"Um, your voice is too narrow and not natural enough. This is a fatal problem."

Li Shaojie shook his head.

Although there are many people, things are very busy.

But...while we eliminated these audition contestants, we can also point out their deficiencies by the way.

It can be regarded as a contribution.

At least, on the road of music, do your part as a "senior".

Of course, that’s all there is to say, whether to listen or not, and what to do, is still up to you.

"If you don't open your breath, your voice will be difficult to penetrate. If you really want to develop on the road of vocal music, then try not to imitate those clip sounds on the Internet. Except for artificiality, it will not help your vocal skills. .”

"Teacher, I'm too nervous, I didn't let go, can you let me go again?"

The little girl was obviously anxious.

An urgent excuse.

"Sorry no, there is only one chance, don't blame me."

Although Li Shaojie felt a little regretful, he still shook his head.

Fair, fair.

It's still fair to him.

After all, the singers to be selected here need to have live performances, and they must have a big heart.

Even when you're not nervous you can sing heavenly.

But you are actually nervous on this occasion, what about bigger occasions in the future?

No matter how strong the strength is, it is useless if it cannot be used.

Or, anything that involves acting.

If you don't have a big heart, if you are easily nervous, you will be easily affected by external factors to your performance state.

Then it is destined not to go far.

Another little girl left sadly.

The whole day passed like this.

Almost no one can get a word of praise from Li Shaojie.

This strictness even made the staff stumble.

The first day of audition was over, and when the staff chatted, they couldn't help but ask Li Shaojie.

"Brother Jie, is it really not okay? I think they all sing really well."

"Can not be done."

Li Shaojie shook his head with a smile and explained patiently.

"You are looking at their performances from the perspective of ordinary appreciators, but I must measure their strength from the perspective of professional singers and the perspective that fits with the theme and style."

After pondering for a moment, Li Shaojie raised his head and asked jokingly.

"Look, you work in the lot company, have you ever played LOL?"

"Hmm!"

The staff nodded.

"Then you see, do you think that if the king is strong, then he must be able to become an excellent professional player?"

Say this sentence.

The staff fully understood.

Maybe, some people sing well, but maybe they just don't get out of tune.

When you go to KTV to sing with ordinary people, you will get compliments.

But if it is really put in the ears of professionals, or comes to the scene of the game.

Maybe it sounds like it's all flaws, and many places are not handled properly.

Even if it is a professional background, or a signed artist.

The audition lasted for three days.

It was not until six o'clock in the afternoon on the third day that Li Shaojie finally met a good player.

Glanced at the resume.

[Sun Lei, graduated from Berklee College of Music, currently singing in a bar]

It looks unremarkable.

But this little singing, scratching.

Li Shaojie couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"Well, come on, I'll give you a score, and you can sight-sing it."

Hearing this, Sun Lei's eyes lit up, and she couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart.

In the past few days, Li Shaojie almost just listened to the songs prepared by the contestants before making a decision.

For the first time, I have entered the second stage of the interview process! !

　The resonance mentioned here, let me explain again.

　　Human vocalizations are overtones.

　　After a fundamental tone, there are common resonances of the head, nose, pharynx, chest and other parts.

　　Everyone has.

　　It is precisely because there are many overtones that everyone speaks differently.

　　Because the structure of the vocal cords and the proportion of resonance are different.

　　For example, when you listen to many bel canto male and female singers, it seems that whoever sings has the same voice.

　　This is to pinch the resonance ratio to a very detailed level.

　　Of course, whoever’s head voice and whoever’s chest voice are mentioned here are just talking about which resonance area has a higher proportion. In fact, they all have them. It’s just that ordinary people have a loud voice, and the resonance is often relatively small.

　　In fact, if you compare Zhou Shen's usual voice and resonance with some representatives of European and American actresses, such as Adele, you will find the difference in the ratio of head voice to chest voice.

　　Adele's voice was thicker, as if it came from a deeper source.

　　Zhou Shen's is more ethereal and penetrating.

　　Of course, it does not mean that the head voice must be in the country, and the chest voice must be in the foreign country.

　　There is no such thing as good or bad.

　　This aspect is a matter of style.

　　There is no advantage or disadvantage, but it depends on whether it is suitable.

　　As for what is said in the sword fairy article, there are problems in the sense of vocal music education. This is also true. Although not all of them, there are indeed some problems in this regard.

　　And it's not xenophobia.

　　In fact, Jianxian just thinks that if he wants to improve, he not only needs to inherit the excellent traditional music, but also has the courage to admit, recognize, and learn foreign music with an open mind.

　　【Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, but arrogance is】
