Before getting off work in the evening.
Lin Yuan finally finished listening to the voices of 106 people.
After listening to these one hundred and six voices, Lin Yuan realized more deeply why Qinzhou is the most famous music town on Blue Star.
One by one, they all sing so well!
Obviously, the list of 106 singers sent by Zhao Jue were all a group of new singers, and more than half of them had not even made their debut yet. However, in terms of professional level, they were already far above the average quality of the Earth.
After this round of vocal cycles, Lin Yuan has successfully found three people who can try to sing "Big Fish".
This was definitely something he had not thought of beforehand.
That night, Lin Yuan called Zhao Jue and told him his preliminary candidates.
"Wang Ping, Jiang Kui, Wei Xiaoxin..."
After hearing Lin Yuan read out these three names unskillfully, Zhao Jue asked, "It seems that the ones you chose are all newcomers who have not yet debuted?"
"Um."
This child is very suspicious.
Could it be that they give less money to newcomers
Zhao Jue suppressed his doubts and said, "I will notify these three people to go to the recording studio to wait for you tomorrow. You can try out the sound and start recording the song after confirming the candidates. However, you have to pass the company's review yourself. If you can't pass the review, your recording will be in vain."
"good."
The call between the two ended.
The next day, in the company's recording studio on the ninth floor.
Wang Ping, Jiang Kui and Wei Xiaoxin, three freshmen, sat upright on the chairs at the door, looking like job seekers waiting for an interview, with nervous expressions on their faces.
“Tons of tons ...
In order to keep his throat in good condition, Jiang Kui has already drunk more than half a bottle of water.
But drinking water did not relieve her tension—
Last night, her agent suddenly informed her that she had to come to the company for an audition today because Xianyu might choose her as the singer of the new song.
After hearing the news, Jiang Kui was so excited that she couldn't sleep well that night.
She didn't expect that her debut opportunity would suddenly appear less than a year after joining the company.
It’s like winning the lottery, or like a big gift package falling from the sky.
What’s more, the composer is actually Xianyu!
November has not ended yet, and "Born Like Summer Flowers" created by Xianyu is still at the top of the Newcomer List. As of today, it has already left the second place with a gap of 30,000 downloads!
This already shows Xianyu's level.
Now that she has the hope of collaborating with Xianyu on her debut work, how can Jiang Kui not be excited
As a newbie, she didn’t understand that not every song can reach the same level; nor did she understand that the company has an important stage in releasing songs called composition review.
She only knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and she had to seize it!
Not just Jiang Kui.
Wang Ping and Wei Xiaoxin, who are still in the newbie stage like Jiang Kui, have similar feelings at the moment.
And just as the three of them were waiting anxiously.
Lin Yuan took the elevator to the ninth floor. The staff at the recording studio recognized him and came up to him with a big smile on their faces: "Teacher Xianyu, you're here."
"Envy the fish?"
The three of them looked at Lin Yuan at the same time. They didn't expect Xianyu to be so young. Most of the successful composers are over 30 years old.
There are people under 30 years old, but they are definitely rare.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Lin Yuan nodded to the staff, and then said: "Who is Wang Ping? Come in first, let's try the sound."
"I am!"
Wang Ping stood up immediately.
He is the only boy among the three.
Lin Yuan nodded, and entered the main control room of the recording studio with the staff. He sat down casually on the chair at the mixing desk and put on headphones.
"Hello, Teacher Xianyu."
Wang Ping entered the recording studio, took a deep breath, and introduced himself: "My vocal range is falsetto tenor from D1 to D3."
"Um."
Lin Yuan said: "You have the music score and lyrics in front of you. I'll give you three minutes. Try singing two lines of the chorus first. I want a clean and pure ethereal feeling."
"good."
Wang Ping prepared for three minutes, and then began to sing the first few lines: "The waves silently submerged the night, and spread over the corners at the end of the sky..."
Finish singing two sentences.
Lin Yuan continued, "You don't need to continue with the verse part. Let me sing two lines of the chorus. It's about me being afraid that you will fly away, that you will leave me, and even more afraid that you will stay here forever."
He demonstrated it himself.
Although the doctor said that his voice was not suitable for singing, Lin Yuan had no problem singing a few lines in a lowered key.
The so-called inability to sing simply means that he cannot practice every day like professional singers, nor can he sing the high notes that he once was very good at, because his voice cannot bear such a high-intensity sound load.
"Okay, Teacher Xianyu."
Wang Ping once again complied with Lin Yuan's request.
After all, it was Lin Yuan who asked Wang Ping to audition, and his voice was still very beautiful, and he handled both the verse and the chorus very well.
Lin Yuan nodded: "Next is the singing part, which is the high note at the end of the song."
There is a very beautiful humming in the song "Big Fish". People in society call this kind of humming "dolphin sound", but the word "dolphin" does not exist in professional terminology.
The so-called "dolphin sound" is called "whistle sound" in professional terminology.
This is a very high-pitched vocalization method that uses a powerful breath to blow out from the tiny space between the vocal cords and the throat. It is a high-pitched singing method that is embellished with interesting colors.
This is also the upper limit of the frequency of sounds that humans can currently make!
Except for the "hyoid sound" singing method, there is no other singing method that can be higher than the whistle sound, so this section is more difficult than any previous one.
“Ahhh~ah~ah~ah~ah~”
Wang Ping's singing test clearly sounded laborious. It was not dolphin sound at all, but at best a dolphin sound.
Lin Yuan stopped him immediately: "Your voice is too tense, you need to relax it a little, and these are all falsetto techniques, can you sing this part without falsetto?"
"no way… "
Wang Ping shook his head in disappointment. His vocal range was still a little narrow and it was a bit difficult for him to control the whistle sound.
"Thanks."
Lin Yuan said: "Please ask Wei Xiaoxin to come in."
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Xianyu."
Wang Ping lowered his head and left.
Soon Wei Xiaoxin entered the recording studio.
After a brief self-introduction, the audition process continued.
Judging from the level of performance this time, Wei Xiaoxin is undoubtedly better than Wang Ping, including the whistle part, which Wei Xiaoxin also sang successfully without any effort.
But after listening to the audition, Lin Yuan still frowned.
Wei Xiaoxin's level can only be considered barely qualified.
Being able to sing a whistle and singing the whistle beautifully are two different concepts.
There are so many people who can whistle, why is Vitas on Earth blown away by all kinds of professionals and non-professionals
One of the important reasons is that Vitas' whistle has a beautiful timbre.
Timbre is innate and difficult to change. There is no problem with Wei Xiaoxin's timbre, but when it comes to the whistle part, her timbre cannot keep up with Lin Yuan's requirements.
Non-professionals may not notice it.
Lin Yuan's ears could sense the difference between it and the original version as soon as he heard it. He could only sigh secretly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let the next person come in."
In fact, for Wei Xiaoxin's case, the sound can be improved through post-production editing.
She has already met Lin Yuan's minimum standard for a tool person.
But Lin Yuan still selected people based on the principle of not making the sound engineer too busy if possible.
"Thank you, teacher."
Wei Xiaoxin left somewhat disappointed.
Next, it’s a girl named Jiang Kui.
This was a short girl. As soon as she came in, she was frantically adjusting the height of the microphone. This scene made the staff laugh.
"Hello, teachers."
The short girl said awkwardly: "My name is Jiang Kui, and my vocal range is G2 to C6..."
"Female hi c?"
A sound engineer raised an eyebrow.
Another sound engineer nearby said, "The vocal range is wide enough. There's no problem singing the whistle, but I don't know if the timbre can meet the requirements of Teacher Xianyu."
"Let's get started."
Lin Yuan did it again according to the requests of the first two people.
"OK."
The short girl cleared her throat and began her singing.
The first two are also fine, and are even better than the first two, because this girl's voice is not only clear and bright, but also has a little bit of the vocal characteristics of a male singer. This should be a natural voice condition.
"very good."
Lin Yuan praised: "Please do the singing part as well. Remember, I want whistle sound, not falsetto technique."
After saying this, Lin Yuan became a little nervous.
If this little girl is still unqualified, he can only ask Wei Xiaoxin to fix the sound, or find someone from the debut singers who have proven their ability.
How much money will be divided
After all, it is more cost-effective to fix the sound, right
Just as Lin Yuan was frowning in thought, the girl's singing began, and a clear and beautiful whistle sounded in his ears.
Lin Yuan's eyes gradually brightened.
He knew that he didn't have to share the money with the debut singers.
The third tool man, qualified!
The two sound engineers next to them looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
In terms of overall vocal condition, this short girl is the best. The first two pale in comparison with her.
Lin Yuan said: "Your name is Jiang..."
The little girl hurriedly said: "Jiang Kui, my name is Jiang Kui!"
Lin Yuan nodded and made the decision: "Okay, Jiang Kui, I will give you the complete score later. I hope you can get familiar with the song as soon as possible. We will officially start recording next Saturday."
"Okay, thank you, teacher!"
Jiang Kui quietly made a V-sign behind her back, her face unable to hide her excitement and excitement: "I will definitely work hard!"
