Chapter 617 - 617 Never Die
617 Never Die
“Sigh, the heavens don’t agree with me. Forget it, forget it… It’s just a pity for this peerless genius. Sigh…”
The old artist shook his head slightly and looked at the dark street with a lonely expression. He felt an indescribable pity.
However, the old artist was very happy that the sisters were so young, and that the child knew how to sing opera at such a young age and liked opera.
The biggest difficulty of opera was that it was not liked by the young people of the current era. Now, it was slowly being accepted by the young people. The old artist was not only happy for himself, but also for opera.
It really warmed his heart. Looking at the moonlight from afar, the essence of the country would never die.
The night was seductive, and the stars were whispering.
The full moon emitted a gentle moonlight on the horizon. The evening wind rose and stirred the hearts of the passersby.
Ye Xuan sat in the car and looked at the clear scenery in the sky through the car window. The weather tonight was good and there were no extra clouds to block it, allowing the night sky near the Mid-Autumn Festival to show its true colors.
The sisters chattered at the side about how exciting tonight’s show was. They sighed at the old artist’s heart and praised his breathtaking voice.
After a while, they arrived at the entrance of Villa Number One. Big Sister Ye Wan drove the car into the garage, parked it, and turned off the engine. Then, she got out of the car and walked into the villa with her sisters.
The moment they entered the villa, Fifth Sister Ye Fei couldn’t wait to speak.
“Little brother, what did they teach you? Quickly teach your sister. I want to sing a few lines too.”
Fifth Sister Ye Fei was a singer to begin with. She was very talented in singing and had a unique voice. Her control over her voice was also very good, but the only thing she didn’t know was how to act.
Opera was not something that could be sung with a sharp voice. It required a very good voice and the use of one’s breath and sound. Of course, no matter how bad one’s voice was, as long as one grasped the method, they could still sing. The difference between good and bad singing was just the feeling when it was presented.
“That’s right, Little Brother. I want to learn too.”
Fourth Sister Ye Chan also looked at Ye Xuan expectantly. When the other sisters heard the two of them say this, they also came over expectantly. It seemed like they all wanted to learn a few things.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan smiled and nodded.
“It’s very simple. Fifth Sister and Fourth Sister should be able to learn it in one go. They didn’t teach me anything. Seeing that I’m young, I won’t be able to learn it even if they taught me too much, so they told me to raise my voice and relax my throat. However, I can sing this myself.”
At this point, Ye Xuan cleared his throat and raised his spirits to sing.
“The people below the stage walked past~ There was no sign of the old colors. The people on the stage sang~ Heartbreak separation song~”
After these two sentences, his sisters were all shocked, especially Fifth Sister Ye Fei. She covered her mouth and felt that Ye Xuan’s singing talent was terrifying.
“If it’s acting, it’s similar to singing. It still uses the vital energy in the abdomen. It’s singing with vital energy. Don’t you use your vital energy when you sing? Do you know this, Fifth Sister and Fourth Sister? Tighten your lower abdomen and relax your throat. When you cough, you can feel your lower abdomen being tightened. When you sing, you can also tighten your lower abdomen and use your vital energy to sing while relaxing your throat. Sisters, try coughing and find the feeling of tightening your lower abdomen.”
When Ye Xuan said this, other than Fourth Sister Ye Chan and Fifth Sister Ye Fei, who were better at singing, the other sisters coughed and felt their abdomens tighten.
Then, they looked at Ye Xuan and nodded, indicating that they had sensed it.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan nodded and continued.
“Alright, then what’s next? The core support point when performing opera is the area between your eyebrows. It’s the fulcrum when using your vital energy. When you pull your lower abdomen slightly and sing, you have to project your voice forward. That means to relax your throat and let your vital energy reach the space between your eyebrows. Then, you can use the space between your eyebrows to release the sound. To put it simply, when you sing, you can feel your throat relax and your lower abdomen tighten as you use your vital energy. Moreover, the space between your eyebrows and your entire head will resonate with the sound. This way, you can perform opera.”
What Ye Xuan said was actually a method of singing, but the fulcrum was the space between his eyebrows. If they really wanted to sing well, they still needed a lot of practice and there were many different aspects.
For example, pulling the sound forward and back was a technique. There were many techniques to use the lower abdomen as a fulcrum to draw breath, to use the head cavity, the nasal cavity, the chest cavity, and to use different auras.
However, Ye Xuan only wanted to satisfy his sisters’ excitement, so he taught them the simplest method and let everyone get what they wanted.
Many people were used to singing with their throats, so their voices were not very pleasant to the ears. They gave off a very heavy feeling. Moreover, after singing a few songs, they would feel very uncomfortable in their throats. They would be very tired. People with chronic pharyngitis would even vomit.
There were also many beginners who thought that they were using their vital energy, but when they sang, they actually used their throats.
If one wanted to sing well, they definitely shouldn’t sing with their throat. Many people didn’t understand what it meant to sink their vital energy into their abdomen, and they couldn’t feel the so-called vital energy or the so-called abdomen.
Actually, there was no need to think too much about it. They just had to take a deep breath and find their lower abdomen as a fulcrum when they sang. They had to tighten their lower abdomen and relax their throat. They did not have to make a sound with their throat. They had to vibrate her head cavity and the space between their eyebrows. This way, it would be easy and pleasant to sing.
When the space between their eyebrows was shaken, it would feel a little itchy. This was a marker of success.
Actually, it was not just singing, acting, and talking. Those who spoke with their vital energy would have a much better voice and a certain volume. As for those who spoke with their throats, those with good voices were alright. Those with bad throats had voices that were simply poor. Furthermore, their volume was very small.
As long as one used their vital energy well, they would become the most beautiful person in karaoke and become the pillar of the gathering. The spotlight would shine on them, and everyone would sink into their singing.
When the sisters heard Ye Xuan’s explanation, they immediately revealed an expression that said, “I see.” Then, they took a deep breath and started to learn according to Ye Xuan’s method.
Fifth Sister Ye Fei and Fourth Sister Ye Chan, these two people with basic skills, were even more proficient at singing. The two of them pondered for a moment before taking a deep breath and starting to sing.
“I walked on the long street and listened to the opera singers sing in the capital. The people were as chaotic as clowns, and Ye Huang retreated into Changqiu…”
“In order to save Li Lang from leaving his home, who knew that he would be the top scholar on the Imperial Rankings~”
In the beginning, their singing was not very stable. Occasionally, they could sing a little, but occasionally, they would go back to their old method. After singing for a while, Fifth Sister Ye Fei and Fourth Sister Ye Chan had already mastered the singing method of the opera. Although it was not very stable, they could at least sing a few sentences.
