HOW TO WARM UP THE VOICE
Whether you are intending to sing or
just speak, warming up your voice is important. The main reason why
warming up is essential is that suddenly increasing volume or pitch can
cause strain on the larynx (voice box). This can create bad habits which
can be the beginning of voice problems (voice disorders).
There is no reason to look for any special warming up exercises. You
should be ok to warm your voice starting with a natural speech in your
most confident pitch. This should not be too loud initially and you should
make sure you keep the right technique with no straining of your neck. The
vocal cords act like a guitar string, so you change the pitch of your
voice by flexing them. That means that you should not change from speaking
to singing, they are effectively the same. Your voice should not be
allowed to get tired through over long practice as this can cause strain.
Therefore you should take breaks between short sets.
When picking a song for your warm up, it is good to take a piece you know
well. Take care not to strain for high notes, perhaps transposing the
notes down a degree to avoid this. Your warming up should not finish until
you reach your highest notes and volume with a relaxed and confident
technique.
Those who are not sure how to open the throat and sing naturally without
any tension will need help to realize to develop a good technique. You may
be surprised to realize how easy and enjoyable it actually is to
sing/speak with a relaxed voice.
