Howdy, once again! Lately, I have been noticing that my vocal warm ups...suck, basically. I have felt really weak and un-supported. Does anyone here have any good vocal warm up secrets/tricks they would like to share? Tongue twisters, breathing exercises...what works best for you? Thanks!

this tongue twister makes me feel warmed up even if i just say it once:


What a to-do to die today at a minute or two to two,
a thing distinctly hard to say but harder still to do.
for they'll beat a tattoo at a quarter to two:
a rat-ta tat-tat ta tat-tat ta to-to.
and the dragon will come when he hears the drum
at a minute or two to two today, at a minute or two to two

i'm sorry kinda depressing but very hard to say.

that's a good one artistic-heart!

I like Copper Plated Kettle, Popacatapetal going up the scale in triplets.

[Artistic_heart]

thak you!

and Copper Plated Kettle is a really fun one too!

also momma made me mash my m&m's is fun (going up the scale)

My school music teacher has this fun tongue twister we do every class having each word be the same note but going up the scale and getting faster each time:
Maybe my momma might move to Miami and maybe my momma might not.

Triads! Oh, how I love thee! Major, then minor, then up the octave on staccato. Sirens are good for top notes, too (stand on your tip toes, and then make a siren type noise from the top of your range all the way down to the bottom while flopping over). Do some physical warm-ups, too, to get your body loose. After all, your body is your instrument! Umm, I have more, but they are hard to explain.

my musical director for urinetown did this this where you start on like the bottom note of the scale and go "one by one they went away" then you go up to the next and go "one by one, two by two, they went away" and so on until you get to like 7
