How is Zhang Xinzhe's singing skills?
Zhang Xinzhe, the singer who is almost the spokesperson of a Chinese lyrical male singer, has become one of the most well-known phenomenal singers with a gorgeous timbre that almost perfectly fits the aesthetics of Chinese listeners, holding "Over the Fire", "Love Like a Tide", "Love is a Word", "Faith" and many other phenomenal popular songs that are remembered by generations. In the era of freshman mixed singing skills around 2020, Zhang Xinzhe is also the peak singer with the most ratings and aesthetic experience. The attitude towards ** is committed and aggressive.
In terms of overall singing skills and market positioning, Zhang Xinzhe belongs to a very rare timbre singer, and almost all of his singing logic in his career is working hard for the polishing of his timbre. In the expanded vocal range aesthetics of the treble theory caused by "I Am a Singer", Zhang Xinzhe is very recognizable and personalized. The vocal range and timbre are two major categories of singing skills, and there will be completely different singing performance if there are different trade-offs. But Zhang Xinzhe is not resistant to the vocal range, and in 2023, his resonance state will also absorb the most advanced mixing logic.
In terms of timbre, Zhang Xinzhe's timbre is extremely excellent, and the natural vocal with closed vocal cords has a neutral timbre, which directly makes the timbre have a warm beauty, and the male and female markets are unified, which fits the temperament of the oriental gentleman and the potential color logic of the lyricism of love songs. In terms of the basic shaping of timbre, Zhang Xinzhe pays attention to the brightness of the timbre provided by the larynx, which directly allows Zhang Xinzhe to complete the basic plate in the early part of his career: the brightness of the high larynx position + natural neutral and warm timbre.
In the 20 years from the 90s to 2010 of the last century, under the background of the general acceptance of true and false voice aesthetics in the market, Zhang Xinzhe is the best alto male singer and timbre singer, and there may not be one. There are also certain hidden dangers in the high laryngeal position, so after 2009, Zhang Xinzhe's treble area has actually changed to the mixing logic of the voice area link, on the one hand, it is the increase of age, on the other hand, the mixing voice is more protective of the voice, and the timbre quality can be higher. In this way, the overall pronunciation point and resonance begin to concentrate, and the core rhythm increases strongly, developing towards a balanced sound mix.
In terms of vocal range, Zhang Xinzhe's vocal range is also very good, with a theoretical vocal range of A2-B4 and two octaves +Second, the quality range can come to C3-G4, and the peak range is the best timbre beauty in the industry in G3-GB4, although this performance may not have obvious advantages compared with some 20-year-old young people, but Zhang Xinzhe's vocal range maintenance ability has been maintained from 1992 to 2023 for 30 years, the quality may fluctuate, but the vocal range performance has not shrunk in any way.
This means that Zhang Xinzhe's private voice training is very focused on and self-discipline in the past 30 years, only by taking the career as a source of fun, refusing to smoke and drink, refusing chaos, and insisting on opening the voice and aesthetic progress and technological update can maintain the ability to maintain these 30 years, most singers at the age of 35 because of squandering, tobacco and alcohol, no ability to open their voices and other problems ushered in a more obvious reversal of voice, and Zhang Xinzhe's timbre beauty has not declined from beginning to end. This is already very precious.
In terms of cavity, Zhang Xinzhe's foundation is sufficient, and the basic support and vocal cord closure are extremely excellent, especially the vocal cord closure. In the early days, if you don't have the knowledge of remixing, you can still complete the B4 bite of "Tolerance". However, due to the limited polishing of timbre, especially the brightness provided by the larynx, the overall resonance is more dependent on the chest voice and ribcage of the real voice, rather than the link of the head voice area, which is more recommended for mixed voices. And without the upward link of the head sound, the sound pressure of the inevitable resonance will be a little smaller.
The problem of sound pressure was more obvious in the early days, but it has been greatly improved after Zhang Xinzhe's concert in the United States in 2009, and the current sound pressure is sufficient. In terms of styling, Zhang Xinzhe has a perfect fit for mainstream Chinese lyrical songs, but for some European and American styles, especially when BPM is fast and rhythmic, it may not be very compatible. This is due to the attributes of timbre, which requires a large overtone space, so the minimalist style is more suitable for Zhang Xinzhe, and folk, pop, and lyricism are all very good styles.
On the whole, Zhang Xinzhe's singing skills are very good, and the timbre part is a rare and precious quality in Chinese orchestras. In the course of his career, Zhang Xinzhe's 30-year singing style has not declined, and even better and better self-discipline is even more admirable. A singer who is willing to correct and learn is a singer with vitality. Zhang Xinzhe has a great ability to resist market changes, which is directly related to his own continuous polishing and development of timbre. The following is a specific analysis from the timbre: Zhang Xinzhe: The polishing logic of timbre in vocal music;
In vocal music, the polishing skills of timbre are mainly as follows:
1: Vocal cord closure.
2: Pronunciation dot hanging;
3: Mask Resonance;
4: Proportion of pharyngeal sounds in the pharyngeal wall;
5: Voice zone linking or voice change technology;
6: The use of the laryngeal position;
These six points are important in no particular order, and each one can create a tone that reaches the top. Among them, Zhang Xinzhe's choice is biased towards the first point, the second point, and the sixth point. That is, the vocal cords are closed, the articulation point hangs, and the laryngeal position is used. The difficulty of these three points is a little earlier in the major, but that doesn't mean that they are less difficult than the other three. It is only the third, fourth, and fifth points of mask resonance, pharyngeal sound, and voice area link voice change technology, which is popularized later than vocal cord closure, articulation point hanging, and laryngeal position in China.
Therefore, from the background of Zhang Xinzhe's vocal era, Zhang Xinzhe is a singer in the market of the true and false voice era, but he can avoid the crisis of true and false voice, which is the reason why he is strong and still has a very high vitality. Okay, let's dissect Zhang Xinzhe's timbre processing according to these three points.
Point 1: Vocal cord closure. This thing will be the first priority of any singing system, its essence is the closing force of our vocal cords to block the airflow, it will cause our natural timbre and background when the vocal cords vibrate, the strength of the recognition. Logically speaking, the more stable and solid the vocal cord closure is, and the more balanced the vocal cord confrontation of the airflow impact, the fuller the recognition of the timbre. The degree of closure of the singer's vocal cords will directly affect whether the recognition of his physiological timbre background is strong or weak.
The second pronunciation point is easier to understand, which is a basic logic of the introduction to vocal music. That is to say, our articulation capsule should have a resonance logic that tends to concentrate and compress, so that the notes that appear in the capsule have a natural beauty of concentrated granularity, just like a string of beads on the line, but integrated into the singing nature of the voice. This gives the tone a pop-like personality and a strong natural dialogue aesthetic. This is the pop way of singing.
And Zhang Xinzhe's pronunciation point processing is actually a representative of the era of popular singing in the 90s of the last century. At that time, most male singers tended to have a turbid timbre and pursued commercial recognition, while Zhang Xinzhe used advanced pronunciation points and voice logic to complete the era change of pop singing to a certain extent, which is why we listen to "Love Like a Tide" and "Love is a Word" and do not have a sense of the times, because the essence is the aesthetic treatment of popular logic.
But if the vocal cords are closed and overloaded, there is a feeling of holding your breath, then it means tension and compensation. In particular, the mandibular muscles will become the most annoying part of squeezing the card. Therefore, the closure of the vocal cords is the natural background color of the resonant dry sound at the source for timbre. That is, Zhang Xinzhe's neutral oral voice.
Almost since he started his career, the vocal cord closure in the midrange region has been perfect, especially the stability and unity under laryngeal pressure. The closure of the vocal cords mainly affects the uniformity of the timbre in different registers, which is the source of the singer's emotional control of auditory color. Most of the professional singers who make people feel that they can't sing are distracted, nine out of ten are caused by the clever closure of the vocal cords. Vocal cord closure is also a thing that gets stronger and better the more you practice. The irreversibility of muscle flow and ligament function is the essence of functional regression.
The last laryngeal position, this one is easier to understand. Generally speaking, the higher the laryngeal position, the greater the brightness of the timbre, and even the essence of falsetto is that the laryngeal position is much higher than the limit of the true vocal cord tolerance, resulting in a timbre that provides timbre brightness at the expense of timbre thickness. Pop singing, on the other hand, requires the use of laryngeal positions to provide timbre brightness to complete recognition, such as R&B. And Zhang Xinzhe is the little genius who perfectly expresses the recognition of commercial timbre in the lyrical song. Brightness is too important for timbre recognition. In the same way, Fei'er Band's Fei'er is also perfectly recognizable with its timbre advantage of being dominated by high laryngeal positions.
To sum up, Zhang Xinzhe's singing skills were perfect in the 90s, and in 2023, when he is 56 years old, he is still very good. And his perfect lyrical timbre is a must. I hope to hear more of Zhang Xinzhe's singing in the future.
