Ayaka Kamisato and Hikari are very good friends. When Hikari told her that she was going to audition at Anti-Entropy, she came along with her. She also stopped by Anti-Entropy to discuss a business deal.
Because Bronya was in a meeting, she waited at the recording studio.
Hearing Bai Qianqu's words, Shen Li Linghua smiled and said, "It's alright, Qu Yin teacher, I also want to hear Ying's singing."
Bai Qianqu had no choice but to let her do as she pleased; after all, she was a young lady from a wealthy family, and he couldn't control her.
He looked back at Ying in the recording studio. Ying was singing a very famous song, which had low, middle and high notes, allowing Bai Qianqu to quickly identify the singer's vocal range.
Everyone has their own vocal range, and different types of people have different vocal ranges. Some of these ranges are innate, and some are acquired.
The average person's true vocal range is 5 octaves for low notes and 3 octaves for high notes. With sufficient effort, they can reach even higher or lower notes. Singers, through training, can achieve a true vocal range of about two octaves, but they rely more on mixed voice training to sing in the high register.
Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, a contralto's voice is something that is innate. Only those with naturally developed vocal cords can reach the standard of a contralto. Ordinary people's voices cannot be trained to achieve this. Therefore, there are very few contralto singers.
Some people can sing low notes, but their tone is thin, so they are not considered contraltos. In addition, contraltos must keep their vocal cords relaxed when singing. Those who rely on throat compression or even vocal fry to sing low notes are not considered contraltos.
Ying has a sweet appearance, but she has a very wide vocal range and can use her special vocal qualities and superb vocal techniques to produce a very powerful sound.
Bai Qianqu nodded repeatedly at this versatile singing style.
No wonder she was able to enter the new song chart as an independent singer and was favored by so many companies. Her voice is indeed a gift from heaven, which Bai Qianqu greatly admires.
I'd better give up on my terrible voice.
He turned his head again and looked at Kong, who was sitting in the corner of the room with his arms crossed. He had been sitting there without saying a word since he entered the room.
However, Bai Qianqu could still see a lot of complex expressions in his eyes, the strongest of which was longing.
Finally, Ying finished singing the song and walked out of the recording studio somewhat nervously.
"Teacher Qu Yin, how did I sing?"
Bai Qianqu gave full affirmation: "Your voice is strong and powerful, very good. I think your song has been settled."
"That's great." Ying breathed a sigh of relief and secretly gave Ayaka Kamisato a "?" gesture.
Bai Qianqu suddenly turned her head to look at the empty corner.
"Would Mr. Kong like to sing a song?"
Kong looked up in surprise, completely unexpected that Bai Qianqu would strike up a conversation with him.
"Me? Me?" He was still a little confused.
Seeing this, Ying quickly spoke up for him, "That's fine! My brother also studied singing!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled Kong back, whispering, "Brother, don't just stand there! The opportunity is here, so hurry up and seize it!"
Kong finally realized what was happening, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then nodded emphatically to Bai Qianqu.
"Thank you, Teacher Qu Yin."
Bai Qianqu nodded slightly: "Go ahead, don't be nervous, just relax and sing."
Encouraged, Kong mustered his courage and walked into the recording studio. Seeing Ying outside giving him a thumbs-up, he felt a warmth in his heart. He then calmed himself down, picked up the microphone, and began to sing.
Bai Qianqu listened outside, her brows furrowing slightly.
Not enough breath!
This was his first reaction.
P.S.: There will be another chapter at 6 PM tonight! I'm secretly starting a bounty: My current gift value is 4988. For every 100 more gift points, I'll add an extra chapter next month, with no upper limit! Give the author a chance to work overtime!
Chapter 82 A Unique Voice
Kong's voice is unique and magnetic, but he can't hit the high notes and always has to use falsetto to cover it up. His voice also sometimes becomes hoarse, and he often sings with his throat strained. His voice is dry and stiff because it lacks the embellishment of breath.
Moreover, his vocal placement is very high, with almost no chest resonance. It sounds like he only has mid-range frequencies and no low or high frequencies, making his voice particularly dry and weak. This kind of voice is also commonly known as "a flat, weak voice," which simply means that his tone is weak and diffuse.
Of course, it wasn't without its merits.
He couldn't reach the high notes or the low notes, and the only range he could sing was the middle range, but his voice was thin and white, which made it lack expressive power. However, he was aware of his vocal shortcomings, so he started to sing in a normal speaking position, making his voice light and soft, as if he were whispering to someone. This made his tone lighter and more agile, greatly improving the listening experience of his voice.
Moreover, Kong is skilled at using falsetto in songs. Her voice is clear and gentle, and her falsetto is transparent with a soft yet husky bass, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the songs.
Upon hearing this, a name suddenly flashed through Bai Qianqu's mind, causing him to widen his eyes in surprise.
Holy crap? This feeling?
Isn't this how Song Ge (Brother Song) sounded when he first started singing?
It's no wonder that someone with such a unique voice has never had a suitable song to sing.
Most people would just think that a hollow voice is dry and lifeless, and that the person is simply not cut out for singing. But in Bai Qianqu's eyes, this is simply a piece of fine jade!
With proper development, they might be able to perfectly master Xu Song's more challenging songs.
To be honest, Xu Song's songs are actually harder to sing for the most professional singers, because they are so unique.
Xu Song's songs were all written to suit his own voice, which makes them a perfect match for his vocals. Other people simply couldn't handle them well, and their covers always sounded strange.
After finishing his song, he came out and saw Bai Qianqu frowning and deep in thought, which immediately made him feel a little discouraged.
Those who auditioned him before were basically like this; some even bluntly said he wasn't suitable for singing.
Ying bit her lip and whispered to comfort him, "It's okay, bro. I'll buy you a big chicken leg when we get back tonight."
Ayaka Kamisato also spoke up, saying, "Sora's voice still has many merits, but there are some parts that she hasn't been able to fully utilize."
Sora smiled bitterly; the outcome was already expected, so he wasn't too disappointed. As for Ayaka Kamisato's words, he'd just take them as a consolation.
However, Bai Qianqu's next words made his eyes widen in surprise.
"Your voice is very unique; perhaps I have a song that suits you."
Upon hearing this, not only Sora, but also Hikari and Ayaka Kamisato looked at him in surprise.
"Really?" Kong stammered. The reason he hadn't debuted yet was because no one was willing to write songs for him.
If Bai Qianqu could really write a song for him, he wouldn't ask for a high ranking; at least he could become a real singer like his sister.
“Yes.” Bai Qianqu pondered for a moment. “However, you need to practice more and learn to use your breath to make your voice more rounded and continuous. I recommend that you find some professional vocal teachers to take lessons and practice more in this area. If you can’t find any, there are many excellent vocal teachers at Anti-Entropy, and I can recommend them to you.”
Bai Qianqu's words resonated like a great bell in Kong's ears. In all his years of practicing singing, he had never had anyone guide him so patiently, especially offering suggestions specifically for his voice.
His gaze toward Bai Qianqu was filled with gratitude. At that moment, he wished he were a girl, otherwise he would have definitely offered himself to her.
Bai Qianqu felt a chill run down her spine from Kong's gaze. Could this guy have some kind of fetish?
Scared!
He quickly turned to Ying and said, "I've already chosen your song. I'll write it for you first so you can familiarize yourself with it."
As he spoke, he wrote out the lyrics and music for "Keep Walking in the Rain," which he had previously commissioned, and handed it to Ying.
Ying was immediately overjoyed and quickly wiped her hands before taking it. Ayaka Kamisato, standing nearby, was curious but looked away.
After all, this is a song that hasn't been released yet, and it's inappropriate for her, as an outsider, to watch it.
The song title is prominently displayed at the very top.
My eyes lit up; the song title was quite unique.
Bai Qianqu also smiled.
As one of the three great inspirational songs, this song is perfect for Ying's penetrating voice.
Moreover, this song is perfect for competitions; it's positive, uplifting, and incredibly infectious.
Ying quickly finished reading the lyrics. Her already large eyes looked even bigger, and she seemed to be completely absorbed in the lyrics.
"Teacher Ququyin! Was this song really written for me?"
"Of course. You need to familiarize yourself with this song well, so you can perform well in the competition and not let the team down," Bai Qianqu teased.
Ying pressed the paper with the lyrics written on it tightly to her chest, her eyes filled with determination: "Don't worry, Teacher Qu Yin! I won't let you down!"
"Alright, go and make the most of your time to familiarize yourself with this song." Bai Qianqu said to the air, "You also need to learn the singing technique well. Once you've mastered it, I have a song for you to sing too."
Sora and Ying nodded repeatedly and left to do their own things.
After arranging for the two, Bai Qianqu turned to Shen Li Linghua and said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Shen Li, I haven't been a good host."
Ayaka Kamisato still covered her mouth with her fan and smiled: "Not at all, it was I who bothered Teacher Quyin, I should apologize to you."
"Uh, why isn't Bronya's meeting over yet?" Bai Qianqu checked the time; according to the schedule, her meeting had been going on for two hours.
"Miss Kamisato, why don't you come another day? You must be a little tired," Bai Qianqu said tentatively. Kamisato Ayaka had come alone today without any attendants, and she had been standing the whole time without sitting down to rest.
Ayaka Kamisato tightened her grip on the fan, then shook her head: "Thank you for your concern, Ms. Quyin, but I do have important matters to discuss with Miss Bronya."
"Alright then." Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Bai Qianqu simply gave up. "Then let's go to Bronya's office together and wait there."
"Thank you for your trouble." Ayaka Kamisato bowed slightly in gratitude.
As Bai Qianqu led Ayaka Kamisato through the corridor, she noticed that many people were looking at her strangely.
He took out his phone and looked at his face, but didn't find anything strange. This made him even more puzzled.
What's wrong with these guys? This has never happened before.
P.S.: This is my favorite thing to do, don't forget it, brothers and sisters!!!
Chapter 83 Ayaka Kamisato's Intentions
"Does Ms. Quyin have any doubts?" Ayaka Kamisato suddenly asked.
Bai Qianqu nodded: "Does Miss know?"
Ayaka Kamisato chuckled twice, took out her phone, tapped it a couple of times, and handed it to Bai Qianqu: "Please take a look."
Bai Qianqu took it and discovered that the phone charm of Shen Li Linghua was a very cute little Temari model.
When Ayaka Kamisato saw that Chikuro Shirakura was staring at her phone pendant, a blush rose on her fair face.
"This is something I loved when I was a child. I hope you don't find it amusing."
Bai Qianqu shook her head: "It's nothing. Everyone has their favorite things. I'm just a little surprised that a young lady like you would have such a simple hobby. It's really rare."
“Simple hobbies,” Ayaka Kamisato repeated, her tone tinged with emotion. “Even simple hobbies can’t last forever.”
"Ah, sorry for suddenly talking to myself. Please look at the news on your phone," Ayaka Kamisato said quickly, realizing her mistake.
Bai Qianqu's gaze fell upon the phone screen, and she immediately perked up!
