Vocal Warm Ups

Before you practice on your own, you will need to take care of your voice and warm up slowly. That will mean an investment of about ten minutes. None of us is probably singing every day and the longer our voices are idle the more important and longer our warm up needs to be. Try the ones below. Your vocal folds will thank you.
