  • 87 - 086 5 Mistakes People Make When Warming Up Their Voice

    This week, I'm sharing five of the most common mistakes I see people making in their speaking voice warm ups. I'll explain why you shouldn't extend your warm ups for too long, improvise and go without a plan or focus exclusively on your vocal folds. I’ll also share my thoughts on singing to warm your voice, starting your routine with tongue twisters, and much more. 

    What You'll Learn In This Episode:

    What happens to your voice when you stretch your vocal warm up too muchThe issue with starting your warm ups with a tongue twisterHow planning your warm ups can help you get the best out of themThe truth about singing to warm up your voicePaying attention to the whole body when warming up your voice

    Warming up your voice is crucial for your long-term vocal maintenance and care. It benefits your voice, your body as a whole and even your soul. That is one more reason to make it an enjoyable part of your routine and not a long and unpleasant session of total discomfort.

    In today's episode, I'll answer why your voice gets to a higher pitch whenever you are nervous or emotional, and how to gain more control over it in these situations. I'll also share three things you can do to counteract the effect of those emotions in your voice, which will help you in the moment of speaking itself. 

    What You Will Learn In This Episode:

    Why your voice changes when the nerves kick in How tension affects your voice pitchHow warmups and body stretches can help you control your voice pitchThe importance of staying grounded while speaking
