Vocal warm up exercises can make or break your voice during a performance. Most people don’t realize how important it is to warm up your vocals. Today I will give you some quick information to do just that.

First before you even start drink some warm or hot liquids during the day. This will allow for your vocals cords to be  moistened  and set for  singing. You could  choose  hot or warm water, or possibly coffee (CMK Unpluggedwith sugar and cream). I don’t recommend milk or anything like that because it puts a coding a on your vocals and makes it harder for you to sing.

Try singing the following vocal exercise at least 7 to 10 times. This will help your voice get into the groove and ready to sing.  Sing: AAAAAEEEEEEOOOOOOUUUU.

It should sound like “ahh-e-oooo-you”

You can also try humming at  different pitches and octaves as way to put yourself into the mindset for singing. Do all of these for at least 15 to 20 minutes.

Finally once you have done this several times. Let your voice rest for a half hour or so before performing.
