1. Warm-Up Exercises

  • Sirens: Glide from your lowest note to your highest and back down. This helps in relaxing the vocal cords.

  • Lip Trills: Produce a "brrrr" sound while sliding through your range. This helps in breath control and resonance.

2. Scale Exercises

  • Major Scales: Sing a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 scale on a vowel sound (e.g., "ah", "ee"). Start slowly and increase speed.

  • Arpeggios: Sing the notes of a chord (1-3-5-8) on different vowel sounds to enhance agility.

3. Interval Training

  • Thirds: Sing ascending and descending thirds (e.g., C-E-D-F) to improve pitch accuracy.

  • Fifths: Practice jumping between notes that are a fifth apart to build strength and flexibility.

4. Resonance Exercises

  • Humming: Hum a simple melody while focusing on vibrations in the mask area (forehead, nose, and cheeks).

  • NG Exercise: Sing "ng" (as in "sing") to encourage forward resonance and a relaxed throat.

5. Cool Down

  • Gentle Sirens: Repeat the siren exercise but at a softer volume to relax the voice after practice.

  • Soft Humming: End with gentle humming to maintain vocal health and ease tension.

Incorporate these exercises into your daily routine to enhance your vocal technique and maintain a healthy voice!
