Broken...broken sound? !
After hearing what Chen Bei said, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Sister Xiu and Wu Yue were even more upset.
Do you know what you are talking about? You asked a singer to deliberately break his voice when singing?
Well, for Wu Yue, it is indeed easy to break his voice when singing some more difficult parts.
But do you know how much effort he put in to control one thing?
But you just told him that there was no need to control it and that what he wanted was the effect of breaking the voice. Are you here to help or to make trouble?
Wu Yue's mouth twitched twice as he said:
"Teacher Chen is really good at joking, hahaha!"
Wu Yue laughed twice as he spoke, and even he felt that his laughter was really dry.
Chen Bei looked at Wu Yue seriously and said word by word:
"I'm not kidding you. As the songwriter of this song, I have only one request for the singer: less technique and more emotion."
"Come and listen for yourself later. It's all technique, not a bit of emotion."
"Teacher Miao should have told you before that this song of ours is a rock style. Why are you deliberately focusing on singing techniques for a rock style?"
"Feeling! Feeling, you know? You have to have the right feeling when singing rock music. You have to put your emotions into the song and interpret the core idea of the song."
"I want the audience's first reaction to this song not to be that your singing has improved, but to exclaim, 'Wow! Rock!' Got it?"
Wu Yue was stunned by what he said. He found that once Chen Bei entered the working state, his irritability was not much worse than that of Teacher Miao.
Teacher Miao would at least give him some face, but Chen Bei got angry and said whatever he wanted to say.
However, Wu Yue did not feel that he had lost face. In the field of music, he was just an elementary school student.
He was so grateful that someone was willing to sing such a good song to him.
Besides, Chen Bei’s strict requirements are also for the good of the work, which is a good thing for everyone.
"Okay, then I'll try again."
Wu Yue put his headphones back on as he spoke, and the band members also hurriedly adjusted their state.
Sister Xiu quietly came to Teacher Miao and said:
"Lao Miao, do you think what Teacher Chen said is reliable? This is the first time I've heard of someone deliberately breaking their voice while singing. Isn't that just nonsense?"
Teacher Miao also looked helpless. He had never heard of such a request from Chen Bei.
When Wu Yue was looking at the music score just now, he was guiding him.
He explained in detail when to use which technique and when to use which emotion.
In his opinion, Wu Yue's performance just now was very good, and there were only a few details that needed to be addressed.
But Chen Bei actually asked Wu Yue to break his voice, which was equivalent to completely negating everything he had just taught Wu Yue.
In the music circle of Yenching, who doesn’t have a temper and pride?
Everyone acknowledges that you, Chen Bei, are indeed talented in music, but we are not here to do this for free.
You actually asked the singer to break his voice on his own initiative, this is nonsense!
Teacher Miao pondered for a while and said:
"Let's see the effect first, and then adjust it if it doesn't work."
Sister Xiu nodded and thought that this was the only way.
The music started again, and Wu Yue adjusted himself and spoke again.
Unlike last time, this time Chen Bei would call for a stop almost every time Wu Yue sang a line, and then tell Wu Yue his requirements.
At first Wu Yue didn't think there was anything wrong, but as he sang, he found that if he sang according to Chen Bei's requirements, the song would have a completely different flavor!
Teacher Miao and others were also stunned. They looked at the music score and lyrics, then looked at Wu Yue, and thought to themselves, yes, this is indeed the song.
But why did it feel completely different now that Wu Yue opened his mouth?
This feeling is very strange. If you want to say it is very unpleasant, that’s not the case.
But if you say it sounds good, it's not good in the conventional sense.
Wu Yue, who was singing, was about to cry. What was all this? It had nothing to do with the music theory he had learned before!
If I had known that this was your requirement, why did I study vocal theory before?
Come on, tell me, what does it mean to break the tone but not the voice?
What does it mean that even if you break your voice, you still need to pay attention to controlling the tone?
My voice is already broken, how can I control it?
What kind of crazy music producer is this? Fortunately, you don’t want a work of art, otherwise would you ask for that colorful black?
What made Wu Yue even more upset was that Chen Bei didn't think this request was excessive, but instead thought it was justified.
"Stop, stop, stop! I've already told you not to hold back. You have to use Dantian sound for this sentence, but it doesn't have to be completely Dantian sound. You also have to shout it out with your throat, understand?"
"When you sing 'Run Forward,' the emotion must be right in the running part. You can imagine yourself in a long-distance race, in the final sprint, with the finish line in sight. You have no strength left, but you still have to grit your teeth and rush forward!"
“You have to have that feeling of giving everything, burning yourself out regardless of the consequences, just to get to the finish line.”
"There's a line in the lyrics that says 'burn with passion', you should think about it more."
"Sister Xiu? Sister Xiu! What are you doing? If all else fails, go find him some inspirational movies. Teacher Miao can also find him some rock music!"
