What is the correct way to practice humming

Nowadays, many people aspire to become a star, but it is not easy to become a star. In addition to opportunities, one must also have solid skills. Singing can be said to be a very important skill for a star. Humming is a type of singing practice. If you want to sing well, it is necessary to master the practice method of humming. So, what is the correct way to practice humming? Let’s find out together.

1. Humming is a common action in daily life.

There is no difference in principle between humming exercises in singing and humming in life. It just requires that the larynx be relaxed when humming, the feeling of humming be placed in a sighing breathing state, and the mouth be kept closed when vocalizing to prolong the M sound. The benefit of humming is that it frees and relaxes the throat and prevents laryngeal sounds. If the entire vocal channel is not in a completely relaxed state, humming cannot be performed well.

2. When practicing closed-mouth humming, pay attention to:

1. Stand upright naturally, expand your chest naturally, relax your shoulders, and inhale a proper amount (not too much) of air. When humming, your body must remain in an inhaling posture.

2. Close your lips loosely, keep your tongue flat and keep the tip of your tongue lightly against the roots of your lower teeth. Relax your jaw and neck muscles, slightly separate your upper and lower teeth, and don't clench them.

3. When humming, you should feel that the sound is concentrated at the top of the nasal cavity, above the eyebrows. No matter how the pitch of the sound changes, the sound should at least remain at this height.

4. When humming, you can feel slight vibrations in your nose, teeth, and lips.

When practicing, sing M first, then sing MI and MA without changing your position.

3. When practicing humming, the method must be correct . If it is not correct, the sound produced will be tight and forced, and the sound produced will not be able to have a good effect. If you hum correctly, the sound will be good. To check whether you are humming correctly, you can look in the mirror while humming to see if your mouth can move freely without affecting the sound. If it has no effect, it means humming is correct. In this way, when singing using the humming method, the mouth's articulation and facial expressions will not affect the sound.

When singing mi, ma, gradually open your mouth and make the sounds natural and effortless. When your mouth opens, the feeling of sound should be maintained at the height of humming to prevent the position from dropping as soon as your mouth opens. That is to say, the sound cannot be separated from the breath, but it should seem that the sound is sighed onto the breath. In this way, the sung sound has the support of the breath, and the sound is smooth, broad and bright, forming an overall singing feeling.

4. The fastest way to practice humming and find the position and feeling is as follows.

1. Learn to meow like a cat. Wipe your nose and find the point of strong resonance. Usually the sound is not very bright at the beginning and the resonance point is at the bottom of the nose. Try to control the vibration point to move upwards until it reaches the center of the eyebrows. When making vocalization, you can use your dantian as hard as possible to make mimimi sounds.

2. Practice your voice by babbling. The former has a sharp and bright sound, and the vibration point is easy to feel. Then practice the "ah ah ah" sound in the same position.

3. Sing "The full moon on the 15th is rising in the sky..." Keep your mouth shut and keep singing. At this time, the concentrated vibration on the bridge of your nose will make you excited!

4. I was practicing my voice on the road, humming with my mouth half raised, and suddenly I felt a strong vibration at the bridge of my nose and between my eyebrows. Ha, that was the feeling of concentration. According to teacher Jin Tielin, if the sound of humming does not change whether you open your mouth or close it, it means that the position and method of humming are correct.

5. The mystery of humming lies in the fact that its feeling needs to be understood by oneself. It would be difficult for a person to sit naturally or stand upright with this feeling, but if one feels force under the feet, one can better use the Dantian and the abdomen to exert force. So it is easy to find the feeling when walking, cycling or rowing.

6. If you find this feeling, your vocal epiphany is complete. Although it is only the basics, as long as you practice hard based on this feeling, you will achieve small success soon and great success within a year. After that, the musicality of singing comes naturally. The ventriloquism is even more applicable. Liu Dacheng plays the erhu with his mouth (actually it's between the bridge of his nose and eyebrows), Shi Tou Yangguang's super imitation show, and Li Yugang's soft and beautiful female voice, although they can't do it effortlessly, they can still do it in a similar way. You can also practice the back channel to complete the high-note leap, quickly imitate various dialects, quickly learn super-standard Mandarin, practice standard foreign language pronunciation, appreciate and learn opera...haha, great things can be achieved.
