Chapter 461: Chapter 439 Singing Talent_1

After recovering his voice, what’s the first thing he should do?

Lin Yuan’s choice was:

Sing!

Sing!

And sing some more!

Pulling out his phone for accompaniment, Lin Yuan burst into song whenever he came across a familiar tune!

And he tried different ways of singing.

One line would be a perfect baritone, and the next could be a stunningly beautiful female voice!

It wasn’t until several hours later that Lin Yuan finally stopped singing.

Not because he was tired of it, but a few hours of singing couldn’t possibly vent years of pent-up frustration.

More importantly, if he continued to sing, he would lose his voice.

Despite being physically healthy now, he’s still just a regular human. And being regular means not overdoing things—

Things like not straining his voice too much.

This is basic self-preservation for any singer.

Anyhow, he was going to participate in “The Masked Singer” in the future. As long as he wasn’t eliminated too soon, he could surely let loose and enjoy singing.

“Oh right.”

Lin Yuan suddenly called up the System: “Does this mean I won’t get sick in the future?”

The System replied: “Please remember your human status, Host. Being free from major illnesses and disasters doesn’t mean you’re immune to routine ailments like colds or fevers. If the Host doesn’t take care of his own body, there’s nothing the System can do to help.”

Lin Yuan curled his lip.

This System is great at making false promises. He formerly believed being disease-free meant he could do whatever he wanted without any consequences.

Of course.

Singing isn’t just an outlet for his bottled-up desire to sing. Lin Yuan also wanted to test the capabilities of his voice.

His conclusion was:

His vocal talent was indeed quite impressive.

With a broad vocal range, he could sing many types of songs. He excelled in the middle range, and his high notes were also noteworthy.

On the other hand, Lin Yuan’s bass singing was rather average. If he were to compete in the future, it would be best not to choose bass-heavy songs.

Here, “average” is in comparison to singers who excel in bass, not regular people.

The same goes for his female voice range.

He sang beautifully in the female midrange, an average soprano, but his female low range was rather poor.

Take “Big Fish,” for instance. Lin Yuan couldn’t sing it as well as Jiang Kui. Despite having a female voice, his voice wasn’t as high, and even if he could force himself to hit the high notes, it wouldn’t be as pleasant to the ear.

But if the song was “May We Always Be Together,” Lin Yuan could sing it without issue.

The song didn’t require many high notes and Lin Yuan’s female voice was ethereal, somewhat similar to Jiang Kui’s distinctive voice.

In this regard, the female voice that the System provided as a foundation was not bad.

Considering that the foundation lays the groundwork, Lin Yuan could always improve his skills through self-training in the future.

The same goes for his male voice.

Unfortunately, during the years his voice gave out, his singing skills didn’t improve, remaining at the level they were in his freshman year.

This could be fatal.

While talent can get you through, Zhao Jue wouldn’t have signed Lin Yuan without his talent. However, it was clear that this talent alone wouldn’t be enough to put Lin Yuan on par with top-tier singers.

How to describe it?

At the moment, Lin Yuan’s skills were about average for most secondary singers.

Don’t think that this level is low.

Keep in mind, Lin Yuan stopped voice training during his freshman year, so his current vocal skills are at the level they were when he began his freshman year!

Having the singing skills of secondary singers right from the start of freshman year is already a sign of extraordinary talent!

Many excellent singers don’t start with truly invincible voices; they improve day by day through training.

“I need to train hard,” Lin Yuan thought to himself. His bass voice was his weak point, which couldn’t be improved through training.

Why can’t you train in the lower range?

The low notes in singing refer to the hardware’s timbre, and there’s little room for Lin Yuan to improve by practicing them, as his vocal cords are fixed and can’t produce sounds that exceed their limit.

In other words,

The so-called bass cannons are all natural.

Here’s a simple example:

Both Eason Chan and Sun Nan can comfortably hit B4, but Sun Nan definitely can’t do low notes as well as Eason Chan!

This is determined by the innate vocal difference, and practicing won’t change that, just like how some can easily roll their tongue while others can’t, no matter how hard they try.

On the other hand, Lin Yuan’s male and female voices still have a lot of room for improvement in the high notes area.

High notes can be perfected with proper technique. If you can’t reach some notes now, with professional training, you can reach them.

So, singers with a wide vocal range tend to be comfortable.

They can sing high notes that most people can’t and sometimes, their low notes are unbeatable too.

Should I ask the System?

Because of the limitations of his vocal cords, expanding his low notes is challenging, but perhaps the System has a way?

This System can even provide a female voice for him, it certainly must have a method for vocal cord modification!

Thinking of this,

Suddenly, his mom’s voice calling for dinner came from downstairs.

Lin Yuan replied and didn’t rush to consult the System. He just calmed his slightly excited mood due to his recovery and the return of his voice, and then went downstairs.

Though there was an elevator in the villa, Lin Yuan felt like taking the stairs today.

When only six steps were left, Lin Yuan suddenly felt an impulse. He couldn’t help but leap and then land lightly.

“Are you crazy?”

His sister was close to the staircase and watched Lin Yuan in disbelief before coming over, worried: “Did you hurt yourself?”

“I’m fine.”

After regaining his health, Lin Yuan’s balance and jumping ability have improved a lot. Sensing that he might be able to make the leap, he jumped.

Perhaps, Spiderman also felt the same way when he was testing his abilities after the mutation?

“Don’t be rash next time. You should know your body’s limits.”

His sister complained: “I thought I heard some noise in your room earlier, were you singing?”

“Yes, your voice…” His sister frowned, then her eyes widened: “Wait, your voice sounds like…”

Lin Yuan’s voice seemed to be back to normal. Though the difference is not significant, anyone who knows him well could tell immediately!

Lin Yuan said: “I might be recovered from my ill, recently my voice feels much better.”

He couldn’t explain the existence of the System, so he could only let those around him gradually accept it.

“Really?” His sister was excited: “Seems like you really are getting better. Your voice does sounds like it’s back to normal and you even dared to jump from so high. Now you can sing a little in your spare time, since it’s your favorite activity. But remember to test your limits, like what you did just now was not okay, got it?”

“Got it.”

“Hmm, have you seen the psychologist?” His sister asked, referring to Lin Yuan’s fear of cameras.

“No problem anymore.”

“Really?”

“Almost.”

Although the problem hadn’t been solved, Lin Yuan had found the root of it. The next step was dealing with his psychological issues.

“Let’s eat.”

His sister felt relieved and patted Lin Yuan’s arm.

After dinner,

Just before Lin Yuan went upstairs, he suddenly said to his sister: “I will send you ‘Shuke and Beta’ in a few days.”

His sister exclaimed with joy: “Has Chu Kuang finished it?”

Lin Yuan nodded, he decided to finish this novel in his spare time, then prepare for ‘The Masked Singer’ competition.

“That’s great!”

Lin Xuan was ecstatic.

She can let Shui Zhourou and others deal with the long stories, and she will continue to publish Chu Kuang’s short stories. That’s also a significant achievement!

The recent fuss in the long-story fairy tales circle made it quite lively.
