What is Your Vocal Warm Up Warming Up

Do you practice a vocal warm up routine? Are you aware of what your warm up is warming up? Seriously. Every time

you sing, you are creating muscles memory for an exercise, a song, a specific pitch on a specific word. A good warm up warms up the muscles that naturally help you make a free and powerful sound.

Yes, you do have voice muscles. They are the muscles that help make singing easy and free. Are you building the right muscles with your warm up? If not, then you are only reinforcing bad habits and using the wrong muscles to sing.

What is a good vocal warm up routine? An excellent vocal warm up leads to vocal mastery.

A good vocal warm up leads to Vocal Mastery by…

• Focusing on 1 skill or task at a time because research proves single tasking is the quickest way to mastering a skill
• Building habits of good vocal production – skills that do not involve conscious thought
• Connects vocal production to the natural way your body produces sound
• Following a step-by-step process so that one step prepares for the success of the next step
• Building your confidence in your singing ability with consistent technique

Everyone has the perfect musical instrument. It’s You – it’s your body. A good warm up helps to restore the effortless singing that is natural to all human instruments.

To begin your warm up, first accept that your body is your instrument. When your instrument is straight, strong and open, your voice will be also. You would not bend the neck of a guitar and expect it to play well or in tune. The same is true for your vocal instrument.

There are many, many techniques to help with good posture. The most effective for your singing uses core muscles to hold the body erect leaving lower back and abdominal muscles free to do their job of helping with vocal production.

Warming up and building core muscle for good posture is Step #1 of an excellent vocal warm up.

Begin by standing with both feet flat on the floor. Widen at the hips, open the heart, broaden the collarbones and pull your head back on top of your body – earlobes over shoulders.

Now your voice has the chance to flow freely through your human instrument.
