I always practice vocal warm-up exercises daily for several years already. I have noticed a huge improvement on my vocal performance as compared to the performance few years back. There are various methods specialized for vocal warm-up exercises improve your vocal chords. What the only thing you have do is to make sure you have practice a right exercise, otherwise, it will destroy your priceless vocal chord in the long-term.

That’s true that it’s extremely expensive to work one on one with a vocal coach. However, it’s unavoidable since it is an investment no your future singing career. But, I would like o show you some basic and fundamental vocal warm-up exercises that I have been practicing them since I have learnt them from some of my professional vocal coaches. These exercises are purposely to warm up your voice prior the show and to cool your voice down after the show.

1) Breathing – Vocal Warm-up Exercise
I have to teach you the breathing method first since breathing is he main part of singing. You will no going to sing properly if you breathing wrongly. Breathing will affects tone. Therefore, you have to breathe deeply by utilizing your diaphragm. The tone of your voice will be fuller and even smoother if you breathe deeply. Practically in this kind of vocal warms-up exercise, you have to put your finger up to your mouth and say, “shhh”. Make sure your breath is gone then just relax and allows the breathe come in automatically. Do this exercise for 5 times as a set.

Another breathing vocal warm-up exercise is slow breathing exercise. Do this by start inhaling slowly and mentally count to until 20 seconds, then exhale slowly until you have again reached 20 seconds. You will be able to control your breathing naturally if you do this about 5 times in every set vocal exercise.

2) “Lip Rolls” – Vocal Warm-up Exercise
Some call it the “motor boat” exercise. In this exercise, you have to put your lips together then exhale to make your lips to sort of flap. The lip rolls pretty much loosen up your vocal chords and they also train your vocal chords after several months of consistent practicing. It’s is to train you to control the flow of air without straining your vocal chord and voice at all. Some how, it’s related to the octave as well. Therefore, for a better result, you can begin this kind of vocal warm-up exercise with a low note first, and then work it up to the higher notes. You can work it back to low from high once you have reach the high one from low.

3) Multiple Vocal Warm-up Exercises
That’s the multiple work outs which provoke more flexible exercise styles. You can start this multiple vocal warm-up exercise with “mum and do nay, yay”.

Next, you have to do a couple of two syllable words to the same scale. “la ga” and “yah”, “ga” is the examples of the two syllable words. You need to open your mouth and relax the jaw when you’re practicing it. And make sure your jaw doesn’t move.

In conclusion, you have to discipline yourself to practicing these vocal strength exercises consistently in order to see the obvious results. I’m sure you will be shocked with he improvement after few months of your hard working exercises. You will realize that your tone will have strengthened and you vocal is voice become clearer, maybe even stronger vocally after few months of these vocal warm-up exercises.
