Slow Breathing
The voice uses oxygen to operate, in much the same way that petrol powers a motor car.If you don't get your breathing properly then you will not be able to achieve your dreams. This is one of the most
basic foundations and is a fact that simply cannot be ignored. Try
slowing down your breathing. Inhale as slowly as you can and as you do
so count to 20 in your head. Once you reach 20 start to exhale slowly
again counting to 20 in your head. Try to do this at least five times
every time you do your vocal warm up exercises.
Lip Rolls
The
motor boat warm up as it is affectionately known is where you purse
your lips together and the breath out letting your lips flap like a
fish. Lip rolls have the benefit of relaxing vocal chords in preparation for the singing that is to follow. They are also excellent for training
your vocal chords after you have spent many hours days and months in a
row practicing consistently.
Lip rolls have one main purpose.
They train the singer to control air flow but without straining or
putting the vocal chords under pressure. Always start with the low
notes and then work your way up to the higher notes before finishing
back down with the low notes.
Multiple Vocal Warm Ups
The
multiple vocal warm up exercises are the most flexible of all. They
provide not only flexibility but also versatility. Always begin
multiple warms ups by saying "mum and do nay yay" That should get you
off to a good start.
Now its time to progress towards two
syllable words that are classified on the same scale as the words
above. Here are some examples to two syllable words for you to
practice. "la-ga, Iyah, iga. As you are saying these words open your
mouth but try to relax your jaw. It is of the utmost importance that
your jaw does not move whilst you do so.
Vocal warm up exercises
are often said to be the very cornerstone of being a talented singer.
They lay the foundation for what lies ahead. They also protect your
voice and vocal chords from damage in the same way that an athlete has
to warm up his muscles prior to racing. Anytime you plan to practice
singing for a considerable length of time you must warm up your voice.
