Vocal Warm Ups

Our vocal warm ups normally start of with running scales up and down going up a semitone each time. These are good for stretching my range as I am not used to singing that high. We also vary what vowels or consonants we sing them on. These are good for diction when singing a song so you get used to opening your mouth and pronouncing each letter of the word. Arpeggios are also good for improving range, and they do the same job as scales but also help to work on intervals. We also work on breathing by putting our hands on our diaphragms to help control our breathing which helps how long you can hold on to a note or helps to sing a longer phrase. Singing scales and arpeggios also improve switching between head voice and chest voice.
