Female Jing

-
The Jing kind of role is normally done by men as Jings need to use deep and powerful voice to project the role's image. Jings are usually roles with strong characters like Bao Gong and Cao cao etc.

However, recently there are a few female jings appearing. Few females want to do Jing as it is very difficult to sing in a Jing's voice. I will be posting a clip of a female jing named Geng Lu. She is one of the younger actresses just graduated not so long ago.

Silly richard say that other opera type always sing so slow, yi yi or or. I told him the 'kuai ban' of pekin opera is faster than the fastest GZX tune. Don't believe me, look at the clip below and listen to the last part.

'Kuai ban' needs to be practiced for a long time before you can really grasp the skill.

No wonder females don't want to do Jing. The Jings and the 'kuai ban' are quite unique.

Yup! I love kuai ban. There are quite many songs with Kuai Ban like the previous time, I uploaded the Li wei kang part, it is a kuai ban too.

Her voice is not bad right but she is not the best Jing of course.

A very crowded troupe

3 more students joined COI. That officially makes COI GZX troupe a very crowded troupe. In fact, overly crowded. There are 21 students now and including Ang, we will have 22 actresses/actors. Ang is going to have problems squeezing in all the students into 1 show. I don't think there are lots of shows which have 22 roles. Bao Hua and Zhu Ying has joined us for some time so they are not considered newbie already (MD mentioned that they are newbies in his blog). The 3 newbies I am talking about are Wanru, Si Qing and Ai Qing. Si Qing and Ai Qing are not sisters. They just happened to have 'Qing' in their names. I have not taken pictures of Siqing and Aiqing but I will try to take some and blog. I have got a few pics of Wanru but I will blog another day. As usual, Ang did her usual rounds of asking whether the newbies want to be dan or be shengs. Frankly speaking, both roles are overly crowded already. Competition is getting strong but still, we are still harmoniously getting ...

Yesterday we had a performance at Holland Road Blk 2. I was doing the excerpt 'Broken Bridge' of Madam white snake and the others were doing Tang Bo Hu.

N+1

I was browsing the internet looking at opera related videos when I came across a song 'N+1' sang by Chris Lee. Man, I was surprised by the opera elements in the song! She combined hip hop and chinese opera (like Jay and Lee Hom) and the MTV is quite nice. It's like abit of hip hop dance and some chinese opera. Chris Lee even dressed up in opera 'wu dan' costume! Hee hee, but she looked a bit weird. Her actions are good but looks wise, weird. Ok, the MTV. I should learn to sing this song. Lol...
