A good singing warm up is the number one thing that you can do to improve your singing voice today! But so few singers actually do them! In today's video, I'm going to show you some of my favorite singing warm ups to improve your singing voice. Whether you're just preparing for a voice lesson or about to go on stage, these 10 vocal warm ups will help you prepare your voice to be at your best.

The truth is that your vocal cords are fleshandblood like other muscles in your body, and as a result they need to be prepared for lots of activity. In fact, when you sing a high note such as an A4, your vocal cords need to open and close 440 times per second in order to hit the correct pitch. So if you're going to do a lot of singing, it's almost like you're running a marathon without stretching beforehand. Doing a vocal warm up is a requirement!

Before we get into my 10 favorite warm ups, I'm going to tell you the three main reasons that you should do a vocal warm up. The first reason that you should do a vocal warm up is that it increases blood flow to the vocal folds. The second reason you should do a vocal warm up as it also thins out the mucus secretions that build up on your vocal cords. The third reason you should do a vocal warm up is that it makes singing in mixed voice, that is a blend between the chest voice in the head voice, much easier than if you're not warmed up.

I'm also going to give you five best practices to make sure that when you warm up, you're doing everything correctly. The first thing to keep in mind is that you want to practice between 30 and 60 minutes a day. You also want to focus heavily on the vocal exercise that you're doing, rather than just doing it mindlessly. You also want to make sure that you have a good night's rest before you warm up. You also want to make sure that you drink plenty of water. And finally, you want to make sure that you have a healthy voice. Don't do vocal warmups if you are sick without the help of a professional vocal coach.

Now here are 10 vocal warm ups to improve your singing voice. The first vocal warm up is the 5tone count. This will help you increase the power in your singing voice.

The next vocal warm up to do is the octave and a half lip trill.

In our next exercise, you'll sing the octave and a half still, but this time you'll sing it on a sound like you're humming “mm” with a little bit of a creaky door sound.

In our next exercise we’ll sing an octave and a half scale where you replace each note of the scale with the word “gee” as in geese.

The next vocal warmup will be octave repeat on the word “bee”, as in Beast.

In the next vocal warm up, you'll sing an octave repeat scale again but this time replacing each note of the scale with a bratty “Nay”, like the word neighbor.

In the next vocal warm up, you'll sing an octave and a half scale where you sing each note of the scale with the word “Nae”, as in nasty.

In the next vocal exercise, you'll sing an octave repeat scale on the word “No”, as in note.

In our next vocal warm up, you'll sing an octave and a half scale on the word “Gug” as in gutter.

In our final vocal warm up, you'll sing an octave and a half scale on the word “Mum” as in mother.

Whatever the situation that you're in, whether you're singing in a recording studio, or just practicing on your own, do a vocal warm up first. You have nothing to lose and you'll notice that your voice works a lot better.
