Professional Vocal Warm Ups: The Ultimate Daily Routine

As a voice teacher, I give my students vocal exercises all the time in order to help them with a specific issue in their voice.

One of the most common problems that I see in my voice lessons is that the students notice strain when they sing or have trouble controlling their voice.

This video is the second part of a series dedicated to helping you sing the best you can.

This part is dedicated to the professional singer who wants to hit high notes without strain and with power.

The singing exercises discussed in this video are designed for professionals but can also be used as singing exercises for beginners.

These daily vocal exercises can be practiced each day until you have found the results you’re looking for.

Please know that these daily vocal warm ups are very advanced, so stop if you feel any discomfort or strain when you’re singing them.

Make sure that you’ve watched the first video before singing the exercises in this video. The vocal exercises we’ll be working on assume that you’ve practiced the exercises in the last video.

In the first video, we discussed connecting the different registers. Now that you’re connected from the bottom to the top of your voice, it’s time to strengthen this connection.

One of my favorite exercises to strengthen a connection in your voice is the bratty Nay. The bratty or edgy sound is quite essential here. That bratty sound thins the vocal folds so that you can easily access your head voice and at the same time, the folds will close to create a powerful head voice sound.

The only catch with the bratty sound is the fact that it’s so unfinished. You won’t get any applause for singing a song with a bratty sound since it is so ugly.

However, with the help of this bratty sound, you’ve been able to establish a connection to the top of your voice without strain.

Now that we have this connection, the next step is to refine the tone of these higher notes. For this, I like to sing the word “No” with a bit of attitude. The “No” word is one that we use often in our day-to-day lives so it’s much more finished than the bratty “Nay”, but the attitude sound that we use allows us to maintain the same connection.

The “oh” vowel in this case allows the vocal folds to loosen and relax while the “N” resists the air from our lungs. Additionally, the “oh” vowel encourages our larynx or voice box to lower and rest.

Now that we have attained a solid connection to the top of our voice on the “No”, the time has come to test our voice. So far in the class, the exercises have all been designed to give you a leg up in hitting high notes without falsetto. However, with this last exercise, we will be testing ourselves to make sure that we can do it on our own with no help.

I like to sing “Mum” in order to accomplish this easy transition from the bottom to the top of the voice. If you have followed all the exercises so far, it’s possible that you will be able to sing the “Mum” quite well. The Mum requires that the voice be balanced in order to mix well.
