Vocal Warm Ups for Singers to Build Stronger, Healthier Voices

A solid vocal warmup is crucial before you hit the high notes or belt your favorite songs. Vocal warm ups are the foundation of any great performance, it helps singers avoid strain, improve tone and increase vocal control.

Why Are Vocal Warm Ups Important for Singers?

Warm ups are not just helpful, it is essential before you hit the stage or start your daily practice. Warming up your voice gets your vocal cords, breath support and resonators ready for action, just like how stretching preps your muscles before a workout.
