vocal warm-ups
Pre-performance voice exercises
Vocal warm-ups are exercises singers and speakers perform before using their voice intensively.
These typically include scales, breathing techniques, lip trills, and articulation drills designed to relax the throat, extend range, and prevent strain: The choir spent ten minutes on vocal warm-ups before rehearsal.
Athletes stretch muscles; vocalists warm up their instrument.
