• Make chewing motions with your mouth open. You pronounce short syllables that contain "au", "a" or "u", for example "mjum" or "mjaum". These movements often result in yawning, stretching the mouth.
• Voice gliding improves the flexibility and smoothness of your voice. You start with a vowel on a middle one volumewhich is the most natural for you. Then slide the vowel up and then down. But always slide over the tone you started with.
• Start again with your most natural tone, sliding it up and down in a harmonic melody with the vowel "A". Sing the same melody several times until you can repeat it precisely over and over. Then change the interval.
• The most popular warm-up exercise is climbing up and down scales. As with the previous exercises, this increases the fullness of the voice and the accuracy of the tone.

Keep this in mind when warming up your voice

• The warm-up exercises should last about 15 minutes. They have to be completed half an hour before the performance so that the voice has enough time to draw on all its resources later.
• Put your hands on your hips as you practice. Most of the time, this automatically improves self-confidence and thus also improves vocal performance.
• In order to permanently improve singing performance, vocal exercises must be carried out regularly.

Which even contributes to a better voice

• If you are too excited, you usually cannot get everything out of your voice. The voice breaks quickly or you get confused with the text. Start with small gigs, in front of family and best friends. A positive response increases your self-confidence and you will have less stage fright at the next performances.
• Sing in front of the mirror. Looking at yourself while singing can also help improve facial expressions and gestures. Then you dare to move more courageously in your appearance. And those who are relaxed on stage also sing better.
• Don't be too strict with yourself. You don't become a superstar overnight. Do not measure yourself against famous singers, just try to always do your best.

If you have your next gig soon before you, don't waste your precious time before the gig with stage fright, but use it to train your voice. Then do the right warm-up exercises before the performance and you can soar to vocal masterpieces.
