The warm up vocal exercise I'm going to share with you does the following: It warms up your vocal muscles so that you can sing with ease. This activity lets your tone flow smoothly through your vocal range. It helps balance the air going in to your lungs making it easier to sing through your vocal registers. The vocal registers are the chest voice, mixed voice and the head voice. It helps link your vocal registers so you can sing all over your range. Usually when you sing through your range, you tend to break into a falsetto when reaching the highest notes. Warm up vocal exercises minimize that from happening. It makes singing so easy. Voice warm ups tend to relax the vocal muscles so that singing is just like talking. This exercise has proven to be very effective! Just practice this for a month and viola! You will feel that your voice has improved. Now let us do this! This is known as the lip-roll exercise. Place a hand on either side of your mouth and let your fingers hold up your cheeks. Push your fingertips in until you feel your teeth meet. Your lips should be kept loose and flappy. Make a blowing noise like you are very tired. It should sound like a horse. At this position, try to make an MMMMM sound. While doing this, flap your lips freely and produce a dopey BRRRRRRR! Doing this will allow your larynx to be gradually pulled down, easing vocal tension. This enables you to move with ease from one vocal register to another. In short, this warm up vocal exercise helps you sing easy and it also improves your voice. Strange warm up vocal exercises? Not! This sound teaches you to determine your vocal range. Forget about how strange sounding it is. Just focus on its ability to improve your voice. Let us move on to the next step. Now choose a song from your mp3 collection that you like to belt out. In singing it, replace the lyrics with BRRRRR. While singing, hold your cheeks up to produce MMMMMM. Sing this and you will be amazed at the outcome. It is easier to sing. You can hit the high notes with more ease and you have a nice sweet tone. Vocal training exercises are essential to helping beginning and professional vocalist alike assess their voices and ascertain how they need to improve and expand their voice. There are many vocal exercises you can use to assess the current state of your singing voice- but there are two fundamental exercises that all beginners should practice to assess their voices and learn the bounds of their vocal abilities. If you are unable to practice these vocal exercises correctly, then you will be unable to translate any other vocal exercise into your singing abilities successfully. The first vocal exercise could be called the "ing" exercise. This is because the exercise is performed while producing this "ing" sound. This sound is the same sound that you would hear if you were to sing or say the last three letters in the word "singing." The "ing" sound should feel as though it is being produced in the back of your throat with the back of your tongue pressed against the top of your soft palate. You will feel the sound resonate up into your sinus cavity and create a soft "buzzing" sound throughout your face. The "buzzing" should not be overwhelming, nor should it be too loud or muddle the clarity in the vocalization itself. This is because the clarity in your vocalization is part of they key to executing this exercise correctly. To practice the "ing" exercise, vocalize the "ing" sound while maneuvering through your vocal scales. Move up and down your vocal scales slowly, methodically, and with a consistent pace, while maintaining the same volume. If you have to increase the volume of the vocalization in order to reach certain notes, then your voice is not yet prepared and you will not be able to translate your vocal exercises into your singing voice effectively. If you are able to navigate through your vocal scales while keeping a consistent pace and maintaining the same volume then you should have no problem in exercising these movements in vocal performances. The second vocal exercise that will help beginning vocalists assess their singing voices is by establishing a smooth lag-otto. The most common error new vocalists make while learning to practice their vocal exercises is by practicing with "lazy," unfocused technique. This is demonstrated when a new vocalists sings through vocal scales with short, staccato notes. While there is a time and place for practicing your notes in this fashion, beginners should focus on learning their scales with a smooth lag-otto in order to help them learn how to transition between their lower and higher registers more easily. When you only practice your notes in staccato it will be increasingly more difficult to transition smoothly between registers and your notes will become cut off when you attempt to reach notes in a higher range.
