Tips: 旋律 and 逆光

i got rather bored at work so i decided to make good use of my time and do some good.

this is for everyone's benefit, just some tips on singing 旋律 and 逆光. i think i've done 逆光 to death already. bleah...still, it's good to note down some stuff lah. and 旋律 could be a good song to try. yeah, i'm trying to torture you guys with all the 真音 and 假音 and 转音. woot!

and in particular, this is for the benefit of the 2 people who need this most.

Disclaimer: The following that you're about to see are tips courtesy of Nana. Nothing else intended. If you want, you can read and use; if you don't want, you can leave it. OK? OK! You don't even have to credit me, just don't copy and paste anywhere else. Thanks!

Note:

1. Words in RED are falsettos aka 假音. If i bold it, there would be some techniques involved, like maybe 转真假音.

2. The / are breath-marks, something i use for my kids class that has proven rather useful even for myself at times. it tells you where to breathe la. of course, it has to go hand-in-hand with knowing your beats and rhythm so it facilitates your phrasing and breathing.

3. If i put the hanyu pinyin in brackets, it means the words have to be either specially enunciated or you have to OPEN YOUR MOUTH (arch).
