Dialectics of Singing, Balance and interdependence, Crafting a beautiful voice, Six core techniques, Technical analysis.

"Singing is an artistic and melodic language art. It is the expression of speech and emotion through flowing breath and dancing melodies." This is the natural law of singing. Materialist dialectics holds that all movement phenomena contain objective and traceable laws and techniques. The same applies to singing—only by following and utilizing this objective law can one master singing skills. This paper takes "Balance and Interdependence" (the core connotation of The Dialectics of Singing) as the natural law of vocal production and the core principle of singing. It identifies six basic techniques for crafting a beautiful voice: "Breath as the foundation, forward placement as the key, concentration as the lifeblood, resonance as the treasure, emotion as the sublimation, and individuality as the style." Employing research methods such as "integration of narration and discussion, positive-negative comparison, and hierarchical progression," the paper conducts an in-depth exploration of the aforementioned natural law, core principle, and six techniques, thereby profoundly revealing the philosophical connotations underlying the natural law of vocal production and the six singing techniques. The author aims to articulate personal viewpoints, insights, and propositions on vocal performance skills and teaching experience within his professional domain, providing a comprehensive theoretical and practical summary of singing and teaching. This work condenses a lifetime of learning into written form for sharing with peers in the field.
