Excessive Compression

过度压缩

The voice is over-compressed, sounding overly "sharp" or "tight."

In a Nutshell

The voice is over-compressed, sounding overly "sharp" or "tight."

How to Identify

Observe the Singer's Formant Monitor chart. If the compression value is consistently too high, the voice will sound "sharp and piercing," lacking natural resonance.

Why Does This Happen?

CauseDescription
Excessive vocal fold forceVocal folds close too tightly
Too much airflowExcessive air pressure causes the vocal folds to over-adduct
High larynx positionLarynx rises too much

How to Improve

  • Relaxation exercises: Humming + sighing, feel the vocal folds relax
  • Lower the volume: Don't "push" the voice, let it come out naturally
  • Diaphragmatic breathing: Support the airflow with the abdomen rather than squeezing with the throat
