Continuing my series: Healthy Practices regarding PERFORMANCE over the next few weeks. Warming Down & Recovery this Week #singing
1. Muscles should be warmed up before intensive use. Similarly, they should be warmed down after intensive use.
2. Warming Down helps muscles to return to their normal length and condition. The muscles associated with singing must therefore be Warmed Down.
3. Singers should never experience discomfort through Singing. However it's important to realise that ALL muscles tire & need to recover.
4. The Vocal Folds themselves are muscular and similarly need a period of recovery after intense use, along with the muscles of breath support.
5. Gentle exercises such as the siren, sliding through the entire range, help the Vocal Folds & the muscles of the Vocal Tract to recover.
