Tips
for Singing Warm Up For a Better
Performance
Before You Perform on the
Karaoke Stage or an Important Audition be Sure and
Warmup Your singing Voice
Vocal health is the key to
keeping your talent vibrant. When learning to
sing, students are most often eager and this can
lead to overworking the voice which can cause more
harm than good.
Learning how to warm up for
singing is a lesson that vocalists will carry with
them throughout their careers. We all know
that good posture are correct breathing techniques
are important, but teaching a student to be gentle
with the voice during warm ups is vital.
There should be a direct
consciousness of how your students are
breathing. For effective vocal production
that is safe and healthy, deep breathing will be
necessary.
In order for this to happen,
posture must be correct. To teach the
students proper breathing you may have them hold
their hands on their diaphragms so that they can
feel how it should expand out as they take deep
breaths.
To help them warm up their
vocals, have them massage their faces, lips and
neck to relieve any tension they may be
carrying. You can then begin with humming
very gently throughout their range. Once they
have done this and you feel they are ready, have
them add open vowel sounds and repeat the scales
within their range. Be sure to watch their
breathing throughout this process.
If their abdominal
muscles are not expanding, they need to correct
posture.
A few other reminders for you
and your students can improve vocal health for
everyone. Be sure to consume sufficient
liquids to keep the vocal folds well
lubricated.
Try to keep caffeine to a
minimum as this can cause drying in the throat
which will produce a scratchy singing voice.
Anything that dehydrates the body should be
limited. If someone is working through a
cold, inhale steam from a bowl while the head is
covered with a towel.
You can do this several times
a day, just do not go over 10 minutes at any one
time. And do not allow yourself or your
students to push vocals from the throat.
Good vocal health and warm
ups will ensure a better vocal performance.
And as a teacher, you can only help your students
learn how to warm up for singing if your voice is
in good working order. Don't strain your
voice throughout the day and then expect a good
classroom experience.
