10 Vocal practice

Immediately after Chikage's attack, I finished studying up to the second grade of elementary school. That content is easy for me, so I just read it and that's it. History and geography are studied in junior high school. It was decided that my future studies would continue until I reached the sixth grade of elementary school. After flipping through something like a textbook, I was able to understand it almost immediately, so Reira decided to proceed as usual.

As for the ``male things'' she mentioned earlier, she'll be teaching them little by little without deciding how long. I'm not really interested in it though.

Of course, desk study is not the only scope of learning, so there are many other things, but since I am only three years old, there is no need to do anything.

By the way, it's hard to tell, but I am three years old now, but I'll turn four next year, so this year will be my fourth year. I'll be four years old next January, but to my surprise, this world has a sloppy way of counting age. There is no custom of celebrating birthdays, and no one cares about them. Some people say it by counting years, and some people divide it by years instead of fiscal years. Why? When I asked Reira about this, she said something that I didn't really understand: ``There are various ages for women.''

That's why there is no such thing as ``the day you turn 20'' like in my previous life, and you can count as many days as you like within the year. I could say I'm four years old too. I think my small body is because I was born in January. It's like that, so there's a slight error in age, and that's okay with school. Well, depending on how you look at it, it may be strange to say that people born in March and April are born in ``one year old'' or ``in different years'', so it might not be a problem.

With things like this, the scope of school education is actually quite freely divided. Rather, they seem to place emphasis on matching the level of growth of the students, and it doesn't seem to matter whether they learn quickly or slowly. Well, if you study something like you did in my previous life but often end up forgetting it because you never use it, I guess it's the same after all. Therefore, age seems not to be given much importance in society. There are quite a few people who say they're in their late forties, or roughly in their fifties. It seems commonplace in society to categorize and evaluate people based on their abilities, so it can be said that it is rational not to make age a subject of judgment.

This is a long introduction, but what I want to say is,

"Do you want to practice your voice?"

"Yes"

Today, I asked Reira what she would like to do in her time other than studying.

In other words, it is "every lesson."

I love singing, just like I did in my previous life.

I don't know much about the songs of this world, but I've always wanted to sing songs from my previous life.

However, in my previous life, I could only listen and not sing, so I don't really know how to sing.

Apparently there was something called karaoke in my previous life, but I have never experienced it.

Even when I listened to music, I could only hum along.

I've tried singing various songs for a while since I was reincarnated, but I'm just not good at singing.

Rather than the pitch, the volume of the voice cannot be controlled to match the song.

I thought it would be too late to wait until my smoothness improved, so I decided to start practicing now.

I would like to start by adjusting the pitch, tempo, and intonation of my voice to match the song.

However, even if I suddenly thought about practicing singing, I couldn't imagine it, so I decided to start by practicing vocalization properly.

A good song starts with a good voice. A good voice comes from good pronunciation.

This is the conclusion I came to after thinking it through after reincarnating into this world.

I sealed away the songs from my previous life until I could sing properly.

That's why Reira has never heard my songs from my previous life.

“I want to sing a song.”

"I see"

I guess Reira didn't know what I was talking about.

It seems that after some additional explanation, she finally understood.

"Geez. It's Yuu's request, so I'd like to ask, but I'll see if there's a way to do it."

"Yes. Thank you."

I bowed my head.

Well, if I have some kind of textbook,I can do it myself.

In my previous life, there were singers who had great voices. I thought that was amazing.

That's why I want to aim for a singing voice with a lot of volume. Am I going to train my abdominal muscles? Six packs? I wonder if I should aim for something like that! I do not know.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

"You have a vocal class starting today."

A few days later, Reira made the same announcement without warning. I want Reira to stop her habit of making sudden announcements.

Even though it's called a class, the teacher doesn't come to the class, but instead gives instructions remotely.

There were no textbooks, and since I was a young child, it seemed like I was learning things like the proper posture for speaking and how to open to my mouth, rather than training them.

"Thank you!"

Reira came looking for me. I will hang on!

From that day on, vocal classes and practice began.

"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"

"Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!"

This is surprisingly difficult. Of course, this is different from the ``words'' uttered by theater company members.

The purpose is not to utter words, nor to make a loud voice, but by combining the shape of the mouth, the shape of the throat, and the breathing technique of the stomach, pumping the lungs and turning the body into a musical instrument. Isn't it amazing? I had never thought of that!

Be conscious of the muscles around my throat, raise and lower my neck, and keep my breathing steady or variable.

It was completely different from what I had imagined beforehand. Who said anything about six packs?

If you think about it, breathing is the passage of air, so the human body can also be used as a musical instrument.

In this way, I will eventually be able to use my voice in various ways and be able to express myself in song. I'm looking forward to it.

"Unyaaaa~"

"Are you okay?"

I used my neck muscles too skillfully and fell down. I'm lying face down on the sofa. I feel like I'm going to vomit from having to use so many different muscles. I can't keep breathing because my lung capacity is low.

Not only that, but it's a full-body workout. I don't just use it in one place.

That's why I'm exhausted.

Reira stands by and watches me practice. And she gave me a warm towel.

I put the wet towel on my throat and let my muscles rest.

HAaaaaaaaaa~.

"Thank you"

“It’s fun to watch Yuu practice because you're so cute.”

Reira sometimes shoots videos. Of course she shot a video today too. She'll keep it as a souvenir. She might also send it to the Sakisaka family. It's embarrassing though.

My remote teacher doesn't give much instructions, but after telling me what to do, I mainly practice on my own, so Reira and I work hard together. Have my teacher look at it from time to time. Before I know it, my posture has gotten worse and my mouth has an odd shape.

It's such a fun practice to be with Reira.

By the way, when I finished studying for second grade in elementary school, I listened to a lot of songs from this world, but I didn't think they were good. I feel like the melody is off somehow. It's not about the pitch, it's the strange melody. If you sing "lalala~", you won't be able to follow the notes. I wonder what? The connection between the sounds is strange. Because of that, I feel a little uncomfortable when I listen to it.

Even so, Reira says, ``This is normal,'' so it feels different from the songs in my previous life.

Well, someday I'd like to let her listen to the songs from my previous life. I hope her like the songs I liked.

That's why I'm doing my best to practice voice training. Reira says that I look so small and cute when I try my best to sing out loud. I sometimes fold my hands in front of my chest, so she say I look like an angel.

Come to think of it, I wonder if there's a choir or something. It would be a great experience to participate in something like that. I think I'll check with Reira when the time comes.

“Yuu, do you have any songs you want to sing?”

"Yes. I want you to listen to them."

"Yes. I'm looking forward to it."

Such a conversation takes place. Reira doesn't pry further than that. It's a new normal in this house. I feel happy spending time like this. I hope days like this continue forever as time passes slowly.

"I see. He finally started asking for music practice."

"Yes. He is requesting vocal instruction, so please arrange this."

“Please specify the conditions for what kind of person you would like.”

"It seems that Yuu has already reached a certain level of achievement. Therefore, in order to not disturb that goal, I would like someone who does not stick to her teaching methods. I will not specify her age."

"Okay. I'll make arrangements right away. Then I heard you made him listen to some songs. How did he react?"

''As per the report, I made him to listen to five songs, including nursery rhymes, but he didn't seem to like any of them.''

"Do you know what he meant by "he didn't like them?"

“He himself says that the melody is strange.”

“What about Melody?”

"Yes. Rather than saying that the song is good or bad, he said that it's a sequence of sounds that makes him feel a little sick. I don't think so."

``I listened to those five songs again, but I didn't think they were strange at all.I've been listening to them since I was a child.Does he still think they're strange?''

"Yes, it seems that way. It seems that the cause of the strangeness of the melody cannot be explained in words yet."

Rokushou seemed to be thinking a little on the other side of the monitor.

"You remember the summary report on special behavior at the infant facility that I showed you earlier. What did you think about the song he was humming back then?"

``Yesterday, I listened to them again just to confirm, and I thought they were all good songs.''

"I see. I feel the same way. But do you know why I feel that way? What's the difference between that songs and the ones I listened to this time?"

“No, I have no idea.”

"Hmm. So am I. Based on your report, I will send it to analysis. As soon as I know the results, I will let you know."

"Yes, please"
