It is very important to warm up your voice before and after a performance. Same for an athlete, if your going to go for a jog, you must stretch before you jog and also when you finished the jog. If you do not stretch before and after your jog eventually you will cause yourself and injury. This is exactly the same for your voice. This is to remove the lactic acid out of the muscle so you’re not tired and constricted the next day when you need to go and sing. So please warm up your voice before you sing but it is also very important to cool down your voice after you finish singing.
Again with every singer, you’ll have to warm up and cool down for different time durations. I’ve got some students that only need warm up for 5 minutes. I got some students who need to warm up for 25 minutes plus. Personally it takes me 10-20 minutes to warm up my voice properly before a performance or a show.
We are going to say that you “for instance” will take 20 minutes to warm up your voice before a show. So even half an hour before a show, you want to make sure your dressed ready to go up on stage. You want to be doing your “Ung professional warmup exercise?” that I have already shown you in the previous blog with the “wee falsetto exercise”. This is yoga for your voice and is passively stretching and warming your voice up correctly.
As a performer, you want to warm up the parts of your voice that you are going to be using so don’t warm up the parts that you’re not going to be using. We’re going to say for instance that you’re in Coldplay. If you are the lead singer of Coldplay you’re probably be using your true voice up to about G-sharp to A and then warm up falsetto. So warm up the parts of your voice that you’re going to use.
Now say for instance you’re in Metallica, you would probably warm up your voice cleanly, all the through your range except falsetto because he does not use it. And once you feel that your voice is warmed up, use a little bit of “grit” in your voice and continue to warming up with a husky scale still you feel completely warmed up to sing the first verse and first chorus that you’re about to sing live up on stage.
So again, warm up all the parts of your voice that you’re going to be using, so if you sing up very high and you’re crying up very high – you must have to work and warm your high cry register. Once you feel warmed up with scales, what I would then be doing is having a little bit of the sing, about five minutes before getting up on stage. Sing with your guitar or any of your instruments so that you know you’re in the right key before you get up on stage. Sing just the first verse and first chorus of the song that you’re about to sing in a couple of minutes, so you know exactly what you’re going be singing live on stage shortly. You’re confident, you’re ready, you’re going to have a great time coz your voice is warmed up and feeling and performing to it optimum.
Stay hydrated – it’s very important. Drink room temperature water before, during and after the show or performance. When you finish the show, please cool down again with the “Ung and wee falsetto scale”
