Vocal Coach Secret: Part 1
If you've ever felt like you "don't have enough time" to do your vocal warmups, this one's for you.
You don’t need to carve out 30 minutes to get an effective warmup in. You can actually multitask your vocal warmups during your daily routine - while doing your hair and makeup, making breakfast, or even driving to pick up the kids.
Why Vocal Warmups Are a Game Changer
Vocal warmups aren’t just about warming your voice up before you sing. They’re one of the most powerful and underutilized tools we have for:
Building vocal strength and stamina
Reducing strain and fatigue
Expanding your vocal range over time
Increasing control and consistency
Building confidence
Even five minutes of an effective vocal warmup done a few days a week can make a difference in how your voice feels, sounds, responds, and recovers.
How to Fit Vocal Warmups Into Real Life
The goal isn’t perfection - it’s consistency.
Try these options:
Lip trills while doing your hair and makeup
Humming in the shower
Slides on your drive to rehearsal
Small, consistent vocal habits really do add up over time - and they'll keep your voice strong for the long run.
No Excuses - Just Progress
There’s almost always a pocket of time during your day that you can use to take care of your voice.
Remember: vocal warmups are a powerhouse opportunity to add growth, freedom, and health to your singing.
