Why Your Vocal Warm-Ups Aren't Working - and what to do about it.
May 04, 2020
If you are practicing more than 10-15 minutes a day and not hearing your singing improve there is something wrong and it’s not your fault!
Why Your Vocal Warm-Ups Aren’t Working For You
-
You are running scales mindlessly or practicing your vocal warm-ups without thinking about anything specific.
-
If this is you, this is NOT your fault.
-
You search YouTube videos or bought a random audio CD of vocal warm-ups but it has nothing to do with the level you are at or what you want to improve.
No wonder you aren’t getting any better!
-
You know that you should be practicing your scales or warm-ups, but they are SO boring and your singing is not improving anyway!

If that’s you check out this training on how to ditch boring and pointless vocal warm-ups.
-
You have no idea what techniques you “should be” practicing right now in order to hear your singing improve.
Vocal Warm-Ups Vs. Vocal Exercises
You don’t need to warm-up your voice. I’m going to say that again….you don’t need vocal warm-ups. WHY? Because you can warm-up your voice AND work on your technical skills at the same time with vocal exercises.
Vocal exercises are different then vocal warm-ups because they:
-
Have a specific technical purpose in your vocal training.
-
Help you to develop muscle memory so that you can sing consistently automatically - without having to worry about technique or if you are sounding good.
-
Because you are using specific focus points and only focusing on 1 thing during each vocal exercise - you can see which focus points actually make a difference in your singing and then use repetition to build muscle memory.
-
You can learn more about your voice and how it may change or feel different from day to day.
