Features: The mysteries and wonders of vocal music, a pursuit and exploration by people. Listening to a beautiful song evokes endless imagination, joy, and nostalgia, resonating in people's lives. People are nurtured by beautiful music, yet they long to express their hearts and praise life with their own voices. However, elevating oneself to the extraordinary realm of vocal music is a challenging endeavor. The peculiar human physiological functions, the magnificent sound—“breath, support, position, resonance”—how can one perceive these invisible and intangible terms? In reality, people hear these sounds with their ears and produce melodious sounds with their consciousness and senses. Singing voice is the sound established by the human vocal mechanism in the "consciousness" of singing, a convergence of "breath power, sound corridor, and sound wave space." It is the harmonious combination of "breath" and "sound" that creates a pleasant, transparent, and resonant sound through impulses, resistance, movement, circulation, and permeation. Bel canto is the vertical and horizontal penetration of the "consciousness" of singing within the human body, a momentary achievement of the wonderful fusion of "sound" and "breath" through the regulation and balance between vocal functions. This book proposes the basic requirements for entering a vocal state, suggests methods for controlling breath, opening the vocal tract, and building the "sound corridor" through vocal exercises.
