[中文]

嗨，我是卡莉·科尔。

我是一位明星声乐教练和艺术家发展专家。

我帮助艺术家找到自己的声音，打造他们的音乐，并创造成功的音乐生涯。

我曾与Steely Dan的唐纳德·费根、Hole的科特妮·洛芙合作过，

还与Journey乐队合作过。

我将教你如何成为更好的歌手和表演者。

所以，我将告诉你一些关于如何打造个人特色声音和如何

找到自己作为歌手的定位的小技巧。

对于那些看过《美国偶像》的人来说，当一位歌手在寻找自己的定位时，

以及他们是否在唱适合自己的风格，是否选择了适合自己的歌曲，

这些在音乐界都是至关重要的。

外面有很多出色的声音，有很多有天赋的人，但那些

脱颖而出的人通常是那些找到了自己的定位，知道如何让自己的声音听起来更好的人。

所以，今天我就给大家分享几个小技巧。

首先，你要选择适合自己的素材，这从歌词内容开始。

你应该唱你相信的、与你相似、对你来说自然的东西。

所以，你要选择对你有意义的歌词，不要唱那些对你没有意义的东西。

你还要找到适合自己的音乐风格，这需要一些尝试。

所以，当学生来找我时，我通常会让他们尝试各种不同的音乐风格，

stuff that doesn't mean anything to you.

我们会录制下来，然后听回放，看看他们唱哪种风格最好。

有时候，歌手可能喜欢某种风格，但那可能并不是最适合他们的，

他们可能还没有尝试过其他风格。

通常，这是一种混合，既包括歌手喜欢的风格，也包括他们可能需要稍微推一把去尝试的方向。

你要找到旋律让你感觉轻松、感觉好的歌曲。

不同的歌曲，不同的旋律差异很大。

每个人都关注调性，关注调性有多重要，没错，调性确实很重要，

但不仅仅是调性对不对，还有旋律的实际走向，这涉及到一些更深层次的东西，

比如有些歌手喜欢长时间地拖音，有些歌手喜欢更快地转音和即兴发挥。

所有这些都取决于那首歌曲中的旋律如何走向，是否适合你。

所以，在唱歌时，要用你自己的判断。

你至少要唱50遍。

我知道这听起来很多，但这是事实。

你要唱大约50遍，先让它进入你的肌肉记忆，然后再做决定。

我帮助别人找到定位的另一种方式是通过写歌，帮助他们写出来自他们自己生活的歌曲，

来自他们生活主题的歌曲。

这是我非常热衷的事情之一。

我喜欢以这种方式与艺术家合作。

我们会做很多共同创作，帮助他们从生活中提炼出主题，

并在他们的歌曲创作中直接打造他们的品牌。

这是我们今天经常做的事情。

所以，对于那些想成为艺术家的你们，如果你们还没有开始写歌，

那就绝对要开始写了。

共同创作是最好的方式。

所以，这些就是关于如何找到个人特色声音和定位的几个小技巧。

Hi I'm Cari Cole.

I'm a celebrity vocal coach and artist development expert.

And I help artist find their voice, craft their music, and create successful music careers.

I've worked with Donald Fagen from Steely Dan, Courtney Love from Hole, I've worked

with the band Journey.

I'm going to teach you how to be a better singer and performer

So I'm going to tell you a few tips for how to create your signature sound and how to

find your niche as a singer.

For those of you watching American Idol, it's become very clear when a singer is on their

path to finding their niche and whether their singing the right genre, whether they've chosen

the right songs for them or not, and this is crucial in the music world.

There's a lot of great voices out there, there's a lot of talented people, but the people who

tend to pop through are those that have found their niche, how they sound good singing.

So I'm going to just a few tips for that today.

First thing is you want to choose the right material for you and that starts with lyrical

content.

You should be singing stuff that you believe in, that is akin to you, that is natural to

you.

So you want to choose lyrics that mean something to you, you don't want to be singing about

stuff that doesn't mean anything to you.

You also want to find the right genre, and this takes some experimenting.

So one of the things I do with my students when they come to me is we go through a bunch

of different genres of material, and we record them and listen back and see what they sound

best singing.

Sometimes a singer might like a style; it might not be what's exactly perfect for them

and they might not have tried other styles.

Generally it's kind of a hybrid of what the singer likes and maybe a direction they might

need to be pushed in a little bit to experiment.

You want to find songs that the melody feels easy for you, feels good for you.

Songs, different melodies are very different.

Everybody focuses on keys, on how important keys are, and yes they are, they're super

important, but it's not just the key that is right, it's the actual way that the melody

moves, and that has to do with some deeper stuff, like some singers like to hold notes

for a longer time, some singers like to move more quickly and riff.

All of this depends on how that melody moves in that song, whether it's right for you.

So use your own judgment as you're singing something.

You want to sing it at least 50 times.

I know that sounds like a lot, but it's the truth.

You want to sing it for about 50 times to get it in your muscle memory first before

you make that determination.

Other ways I work with people in finding their niche is in song writing, is in helping them

right songs that come from their own lives, the themes from their lives.

And this is one of the things I'm very passionate about.

I love working with artists in this capacity.

We do a lot of co-writing, and helping them pull out the themes from their life and actually

create their branding right there in their song writing.

This is something that we do a lot today.

So for those of you that want to be artists out there in the world and you're not yet

writing, absolutely start writing.

Co-writing is the best way.

So these are some tips on finding your signature sound and finding your niche.
