我们戏曲演员要练很多种基本功,如唱做念打,唱功是最重要的一种,人们总是把唱放在首位。有人说:只要有一条好嗓子就能唱好戏。这是很片面的。当然,演员的音质好是一个重要的因素,可是光凭嗓子好而没有演唱技巧和过硬功夫,好嗓子也唱不出高水平,甚至由于方法不当,还可能把嗓子弄坏。相反,如果嗓子由于某种原因不大好,只要方法对头,肯下功夫,也可以唱出较好的水平。我就有过这样的经历。1972年,我从农场调到河南省豫剧二团工作。当时,虽然还规定不准我演戏,但我还是暗暗地作一些准备工作。谁知道多年没有跟弦唱过戏,一张口竟然搭不上调了。我急忙到医院去看嗓子,一检查,医生说我的声带属于老年性肥厚,是一种声带自然衰老现象,没什么良药妙方可治。当时我思想负担很重。演戏还是改行?演戏吧,嗓子老了,难以胜任工作; We opera actors to practice a variety of basic skills, such as singing sing, singing is the most important one, people always sing in the first place.

On the contrary, if the voice is not good for some reason, as long as the method is right, work hard, you can sing a better level. I have had such an experience. In 1972, I transferred from the farm to work in Henan Province Henan Mission two groups. At that time, although I was also not allowed to play acting, but I still secretly make some preparations. Who knows for many years did not sing the drama with a string, a mouth actually take up. I hurried to the hospital to see his throat, a check, the doctor said my vocal cords are senile hypertrophy, is a vocal natural aging phenomenon, there is no cure for any good medicine. At the time, I was burdened with thoughts. Acting or diverted? Acting it, throat old, difficult to work;
