Features: The mysteries and wonders of vocal music, a journey of seeking and exploration. Listening to a beautiful song evokes endless imagination, joy, and nostalgia, resonating in people's lives. People are nurtured by the beauty of music, yet they long to express their hearts and praise life with their own voices. However, elevating oneself to the extraordinary heights of vocal music is a challenging endeavor. The peculiar human physiological mechanisms, the enchanting sound—“breath, support, position, resonance”—how can one perceive these intangible concepts? In reality, people hear these sounds with their ears and produce melodious tones with their consciousness and senses. Singing voice is the sound created by the human vocal mechanism, formed by the convergence of “breath power, sound corridor, and sound wave space” within the act of singing. It is the harmonious blend of sound and breath, producing a pleasant, clear, and resonant sound through impulses, resistance, movement, circulation, and connection. Bel canto is the vertical and horizontal integration of singing “consciousness” within the human body, a momentary balance and coordination between vocal mechanisms that creates the magical fusion of “sound and breath.” This book proposes the fundamental requirements for entering a vocal state, offering methods to control breath, open the vocal tract, and build the “sound corridor” through vocal exercises.
