Morning Vocal Warm Up [DO THIS FIRST]

Gday, Ian Castle here, your Aussie Vocal Coach and this is the Morning Voice Vocal Warm Up. The exercises in this routine are designed to gently wake your voice up. The exercises are played in a comfortable range and focus on resonance, airflow and engaging your vocal cords. Make sure you sing with a relaxed and unforced vocal tone.

Exercise 1: Buzzing
This exercise will get your air moving and warm up your forward resonance.

Exercise 2: Humming and Forward Tone Placement
Your goal for this exercise is to place your vowel in the same forward resonanting space as the hum.

Exercise 3: The Lip Trill
This exercise will help to engage vocal cord closure. The lip trill is also great for warming up your higher register without strain or forcing.

Exercise 4: Dog Whimpers

Exercise 5: The Baby Cry
This exercise will utilise mouth resonance to create brightness and power in your voice. It is also a great exercise to help your transition into mixed voice.

Exercise 6: Sustaining a fuller tone
This exercise alternates between Ya and Yeah in a descending pattern. Your goal for this exercise is to maintain an open throat and dropped jaw position as you sing the notes.

I very much appreciate your warm ups. You make my favourite warm up and exercises on YouTube! Not only is the content excellent, but I also really like that you have taken the time to give timestamps and written instructions; I find those especially helpful. One other thing that you have done before and that I liked was written instructions for the patterns of syllables where appropriate as well. If there are several syllables I sometimes get lost :)

Hello! Thank you for the video, it’s really been helpful. How much time should I spend on the dog whimper before moving onto something else?

[hyunakiro]

I cant do the lip trills, it tickles my nose too much lol

[angelicamitchell]

Hi Ian! Are these effective to do anytime of the day or best in the morning?
