More advice for Warming-up a Voice this week. Every Vocal Exercise you do should be directly transferable into your Singing Repertoire.
1. Musical Theatre Singers: Your Vocal Warm-up should contain exercises which develop/practice ALL voice qualities to be used in the repertoire.
2. Develop exercises which exclusively exercise ALL vowels; they are what we Sing & belong to the notes we are Singing! They should be equal!
3. Settle your comfortable Optimum Speech Pitch by experimenting with the rise & fall of the Larynx whilst speaking at different Pitches.
4. Your Speech Core should be constant in Singing. This should resonate across your clavicles/collarbones & has nothing to do with Pitch!
5. Adding Twang Resonance to many exercises aids negotiating the middle transition. It also thins the sound if you've a tendency to drive!
