How to warm up vocals before singing

When you wake up in the morning your vocals are deeper. It is usually due to the long period of resting which has the vocals to become more relaxed. Some people have snoring conditions. Snoring is an actual strain to your vocal chords. Often people with allergies easily notice sore throats due to snoring and the sinus draining the nasal passage, and the air passed on the vocals.  If you experience these conditions extensively, you should use extra time to rest your vocals before singing. In the morning your vocals are prone for dryness. Before utilizing your vocals in song, drink water. It and clears and moistens the vocal chords.


The important thing to remember is to make sure you start out in soft mezzo tones before you belting out or occupying your full range. Too much projection before exercise can weaken your vocals. Exercise your vocal chords and build your tones. Do your crescendo to smoothly increase volume.  You want to utilize the musical notation scale from low to high. The simple do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do works fine. Maintain the exercise in a low key, yet occupying your normal register. Do not start out in a deeper octave than your natural range, or you will not be able to adequately progress through keys. It is imparitive to do this in perspective order, or you may experience excessive of cracking and also straining etc. Simple 5-15 minute warms up are fine for beginners based on experience.  You may go longer based your experience, condition of the voice, and according to the instruction your music teacher.
