Show Notes
Today, I'll answer one of the questions I get a lot during my one-on-one coaching sessions: how do I know what to do during my warm up? Although the answer is quite simple: awareness, it leads to three less simple things we should be aware of to perform the perfect warm up for us. After listening to this episode, you'll know what you need to be mindful of to perform the warm up your voice needs. What You Will Learn In This Episode: - What a warm up really is and what you should expect from it
- Your voice's needs might vary from one day to another, so the warm ups should also change according to that
- The kind of voice gig you must perform is crucial to deciding what type of warm up you’ll use
Being aware of the kind of warm up you need is crucial to producing beautiful, efficient and on-point voicing.
