Whew! The last few weeks have really taken it out of me. With more in-person singing returning and the onset of spring allergies, my voice feels pretty shredded. Today’s gentle, restorative warm-up routine restored a little bit of healthy functionality for the practicing I wanted to do, and also the speaking I needed to do for the remainder of the day.
The straw is back for this one, friends, so grab your favorite straw and join me!
Of course, there are days when you should just give it a rest. But if you’re feeling a little crummy but still ok enough to attend three Zoom meetings, a vocal warm-up is the best thing you can do for yourself. After I finished recording today’s video, I went on to a great practice session on some very challenging repertoire and, best of all, less raspiness the next morning.
Thanks for practicing!
