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.
