A good singing warm up is the number one thing that you can do to improve your singing voice today! But so few singers actually do them! In today's video, I'm going to show you some of my favorite singing warm ups to improve your singing voice. Whether you're just preparing for a voice lesson or about to go on stage, these 10 vocal warm ups will help you prepare your voice to be at your best.
The truth is that your vocal cords are flesh-and-blood like other muscles in your body, and as a result they need to be prepared for lots of activity. In fact, when you sing a high note such as an A4, your vocal cords need to open and close 440 times per second in order to hit the correct pitch. So if you're going to do a lot of singing, it's almost like you're running a marathon without stretching beforehand. Doing a vocal warm up is a requirement!
Before we get into my 10 favorite warm ups, I'm going to tell you the three main reasons that you should do a vocal warm up. The first reason that you should do a vocal warm up is that it increases blood flow to the vocal folds. The second reason you should do a vocal warm up as it also thins out the mucus secretions that build up on your vocal cords. The third reason you should do a vocal warm up is that it makes singing in mixed voice, that is a blend between the chest voice in the head voice, much easier than if you're not warmed up.
I'm also going to give you five best practices to make sure that when you warm up, you're doing everything correctly. The first thing to keep in mind is that you want to practice between 30 and 60 minutes a day. You also want to focus heavily on the vocal exercise that you're doing, rather than just doing it mindlessly. You also want to make sure that you have a good night's rest before you warm up. You also want to make sure that you drink plenty of water. And finally, you want to make sure that you have a healthy voice. Don't do vocal warm-ups if you are sick without the help of a professional vocal coach.
Now here are 10 vocal warm ups to improve your singing voice. The first vocal warm up is the 5-tone count. This will help you increase the power in your singing voice.
The next vocal warm up to do is the octave and a half lip trill.
In our next exercise, you'll sing the octave and a half still, but this time you'll sing it on a sound like you're humming “mm” with a little bit of a creaky door sound.
In our next exercise we’ll sing an octave and a half scale where you replace each note of the scale with the word “gee” as in geese.
The next vocal warm-up will be octave repeat on the word “bee”, as in Beast.
In the next vocal warm up, you'll sing an octave repeat scale again but this time replacing each note of the scale with a bratty “Nay”, like the word neighbor.
In the next vocal warm up, you'll sing an octave and a half scale where you sing each note of the scale with the word “Nae”, as in nasty.
In the next vocal exercise, you'll sing an octave repeat scale on the word “No”, as in note.
In our next vocal warm up, you'll sing an octave and a half scale on the word “Gug” as in gutter.
In our final vocal warm up, you'll sing an octave and a half scale on the word “Mum” as in mother.
Whatever the situation that you're in, whether you're singing in a recording studio, or just practicing on your own, do a vocal warm up first. You have nothing to lose and you'll notice that your voice works a lot better. - Hudba
I've always hated my voice, and had no confidence in my ability to sing, despite people telling me that I could sing pretty well. Your videos are really helping me overcome that state of mind, and I've been making actual progress. Definitely subbed.
my voice is so low pitched and heavy bro. I'm gonna start singing though and i know it'll work out.
@@devsangoi7b448 you got this, i believe in you! :)
I'm sure your voice is amazing, don't give up!❤
What about when my voice is hoarse and i feel muc
@@devsangoi7b448 It's so hard to start lmao, like where tf do I start and what do I do bruh😭 Most videos just assume I already know how to sing so they just give u 5 tips to improve, muhfucker I need a foundation and direction 💀

Thank you so much Matt these warmups really helped😁
Thanks for putting those time stamps in there Zia!
@@ramseyvoicestudio No problem 😊
Thank you l
Thank you!
Thanks
I don’t sing, just starting out and trying to learn. I tried these exercises and I noticed a difference in the feeling of the vocal cords, totally feel relaxed. Now the way it sounds, is another thing. The exercises definitely do make a difference! Thanks Matt!!
How is it now? Any better? What other videos did you watch?
wow, i've always hated partially occluded exercises because I don't like the way it tickles my lips, so I often would skip over them when warming up on my own. THANK YOU for explaining why they are important! I won't be skipping them anymore.
This video is amazingly helpful. Day 2 of trying to improve my singing voice. I had to play the video twice, flipping almost every attempt. In the beginning, I could not do the octave lip trill by the end of the video I could. Second time around I stopped flipping 1/3 times and slowly became 2/3 or 3/3. I'm not perfectly on key and my recordings sound awful lmao but the improvement is there. I'm so excited
Great job CN! I'm proud of your perseverence.
Hey buddy how's the voice training going
@@ziau.s9283 Pretty good. I watched some other voice training videos and learned a lot about not pushing/straining your voice. For about three months I trained every day to the point where I felt fairly happy with my voice. Definitely not Celine Dione happy lol. Just enough that I could feel secure singing around others. Videos like these were extremely helpful just make sure that you remain careful and that you don't push your voice too much!
@@chapin3206 hey that's awesome yeah I've definitely learned that and that you gotta drink lots of water just to sing comfy. Anyways great and nice talking to ya 😋
@@ziau.s9283 thank you for asking! I hope you do well
wow I've been watching singing tutorials and vocal lesson videos all day, and this is the first time anyone's explained what a mixed voice is or the actual reasons behind why I'm struggling to find a good sound to bridge the gap between my chest and head voices. THANK YOU!
Best vocal teacher online
I'm trying to get back into singing and I'm so thankful for your channel! Thank you so much! 😊
I'm so glad that I get these vocal warms up for free, and I'm glad I found your videos. Your videos are awesome! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for all these wonderful videos Ramsey, I just did an intermission number with an audience of at least 500+ (I'm only used to singing in my bathroom so this was a first for me), and I absolutely killed it, thank you for all the lessons you have given for free!
Thank you so much! I saw lots of improvements in short period of time 😊
I just found you and you're my favorite I've come across so far. I've loved singing for as long as I can remember, and I'm not horrible, and people tell me I'm really good at it, BUT I can definitely tell a huge difference when I don't warm up vs when I do. I'm most definitely not a professional by any means, so I typically don't warm up. But I'm going to start warming up every day now. Thanks so much for the content.
I simply love your lessons, Anna
Thank you for a very useful video. I've never experienced moving from chest voice to head voice the way that these warm ups allow! Very helpful.
I'm mainly a guitar player, I've really struggled with singing but I want to feel confident to sing the songs I've written and to sing them well. I've always fallen off notes as I'm singing and trying to strain to get the notes and always failed. After doing these few warm ups I've felt a release of tension in my throat and it feels more relaxed. I can't wait to keep practicing and get better.
You earned a new subscriber. I'm in my church's choir and my friend is helping me with vocal training. Thanks for the tips.
Amazed that you replied to like all these comments. Your how to learn to sing video and this one are really helpful 💜 I was scared to learn how to sing because i thought someone might hear me but oddly enough making these weird noises makes me less anxious. Thank you for giving us the exercises in the video and explaining what they do! Its obvious your a great teacher.
Hi I'm doing a Month long singing practicing challenge and thanks to your videos I have gotten ten times better since I started. Thank you.
Dude, can't wait to hear the end result!
So I'm back after a month. I used a lot of your videos and they were very helpful. So my progress... my range went from G2-F5 to E2-A5, and my tone got a lot better. I'm still nowhere near perfect but I'll keep working on it.
@@angelashiflet6153 you still practicing?
These vocal warmups are very helpful! The 5 tone scale works best for me but for me the hardest ones are where you get a little bratty so I am going to work on that. But thank you so much for these videos from now on I of course will be practicing on my vocal warmups!
Dude thank you so much. Your lessons are helping me fully realize my work and grow into my instrument
Thank you so much for the free content. I need another creative outlet as I’m stuck with my art. I’ve always wanted to sing, I appreciate you. 🙏
Thank you VERY MUCH, Matt! I've ordered the Seth Riggs book and once I've started with that I intend to connect with you for some lessons. You've introduced me to SLS and this way of singing has really improved my singing. I'll be in touch!
OK, I've been doing these warm up exercises daily for a week and I can already see an improvement! But darn those trills sure make my nose itch when I do them. I'm guessing over time that sensation will go away but it's weird how it does that. But it's worth it! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Awesome I learned so much. Before your video, I didn't know there was a difference between chest voice and a head voice.... So mind blown from your info! Thank you lalalalalalaaaaaa
Just wanted to say that explaining the "Why's" resonates with me, and surely with other people! Thanks!
You're so welcome!
Extremely useful Matt! Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
You've helped me so much. Bless you!!!!!

thank you love you i am trying to get to the level where I can go on stage with my band
You'll get there Harriet, keep working
Hello I’d like first to introduce myself to you Matt, and Ramsey Voice Studio.
My name is David, and I have always enjoyed all types of music throughout my life. I also enjoy singing, and admit that I do not by any stretch of the imagination have what would be commonly known as a “gift.” Just the same I still enjoy singing as a form of expression. It makes me feel fulfilled, and brings joy to my heart. I like to record at home some of my own music simply for the fun of it. I have no aspirations on becoming a professional singer by any means. I am simply a true music lover. Singing, and enjoying others who sing, and express themselves through the art form of Music. It’s in my blood I suppose. My dad was a music teacher back so many years ago in New York City in Bronx community college. As Fate would have it I had no particular interest in learning to play the piano, although my dad was trying to teach me. He often referred to me as having piano fingers. I do not play any instruments as fate would have it now that my father has been long gone. I lost him , and his valuable knowledge of music at the age of 15 while entering high school. I am now simply a novice regarding the art of making music with my voice, and recording utilizing my mix craft virtual home studio, accompanied with garage band on occasion. I am still mastering the art of using these technologies in order to record my own music for my own personal gratification. I do like to write poems ,short stories, and right about things that interest me. I find that expressing myself in writing helps me a bit more and expressing myself musically. To be more precise to have possible topics to create songs about. It truly goes hand-in-hand the writing, accompanied by the putting the mix music, and vocals together. It allows each art form to enhance the others that accompany it. I’ve discovered that it also reveals my strengths, and my limitations. I don’t mind acknowledging my limitations, because by doing so I stand a better chance of improving in those areas that I am lacking. I am fine with that. Thank goodness for this high-tech technology allowing individuals like myself who haven’t the natural talent to play instruments of any kind. This wonderful technology makes it possible for such individuals like myself to utilize pre-recorded loops and simplified ways of utilizing keyboards and creating different rhythms that are pre-recorded to put together something semi-original. I would like to improve my voice as best as I can keeping in mind the reality of my limitations. My belief is nothing ventured is nothing gained. I will be following your wonderful channel, and following your recommended vocal warm-ups, and various techniques as I discover them. If I am able to accomplish a fragment of what you are capable of doing with your voice while exercising, and warming it up during singing I will have made a great accomplishment in my mind, and my heart. I hope that perhaps through the hands of fate you will see my post on your channel, and give me little tidbits on occasion to improve on my very limited vocal skills. Once again I humbly thank you for extending your expertise in this field to so many of us who have zero knowledge of where to begin improving on our vocal skills, or improving on the skills that we do not initially have to begin with. I am hoping to create something from whatever little ability that may lie beneath the surface that only an outsider may take notice to. You mentioned in your
Lesson in vocal warming on this video regarding mucus on the vocal cords. I do suffer on occasion, and become restricted more than I need to be due to this problem. I haven’t the slightest idea where it comes from, or why it exists in the first place. I also find that happens whenever I am getting ready to record some thing in my limited home recording virtual studio. I get in front of the microphone and my vocal cords become extremely tense, and it also limits my ability to breathe correctly. Any advice that you would be willing to extend to me would be greatly appreciated, or if you could if you haven’t already create a specific tutorial covering this issue, and recommend solutions to correct it. Perhaps it’s my diet, my age, or every day nerves that come to the surface when trying to record. I have no idea which one is the accomplice, or is it a combination of all the above. I know that I am limited, and except that fully. I am hoping that you will somehow come across my post on your Channel, and be gracious enough to extend your expertise to some degree, or direct me to a video that you previously recorded covering some of these issues plaguing me. Thank you once again for your kindness, and your clarity regarding improving one’s vocal ability. Many thanks in advance for your kindness, and possible reply in the future tense to my humble request for an answer to these complex questions. That truly baffled me much of the time. I will never stop loving music. It’s been in my blood since I was a child. Music has always been a safe haven for me. I was placed in a foster home directly after being born, because my mother became paralyzed during my birth from a spinal issue that previously existed. I believe my interest in music developed as a means of coping, and. Being disconnected from my family for the first 3 1/2 years of my life. Without a doubt it has truly sustained me throughout my life, it brings me tremendous peace, and joy. Any kindness you’re willing to extend will be greatly appreciated, or the feedback of those knowledgeable in regards to these issues I am posting about. Should they come across my post while on your channel. I realize that you don’t have to acknowledge my post at all. I genuinely understand, but I will still view your channel, because it’s obvious that you love music, and enjoys sharing your knowledge of music and how to master singing. I consider myself extremely blessed to have come across your channel and look forward to seeing each of your installments throughout the years. Many Blessings, and all The very best that life has to offer to you throughout the future years for your kindness and helping others with your channel for those people who are doing it for the joy of it and those who are looking to make a career in entertaining with their God-given instrument. May each of them find the success in accomplishing their very unique goals in that field. Humbly I thank you once again,, and look forward to understanding how to apply whatever you wish to extend to your viewers. Humbly with the greatest gratitude I thank you Matt. May you and your Family, friends, acquaintances, and all of the followers of your CZcams channel remain safe during this horrible pandemic that we are now going through . Thanks for bringing something positive during a most difficult turning point in the world today. We all need something to keep us encouraged, and feeling uplifted. To simplify it I appreciate those people like yourself who are kind enough to extend A bit of yourself to others thus keeping us emotionally uplifted, and appreciative of the simple joys rediscovered through something positive for a change of pace. It’s a great relief from all the negative around us today. It’s one wonderful thing to look forward to giving us our second wind. One might say a mini musical magic . That may be Considered fantasy according to some, but not to myself. I truly believe that there are pockets of magic,and bliss to be found at the right time. If it’s presented to you it’s a wonderful Blessing, and shouldn’t be taken for granted, but simply appreciated. Many thanks again Matt for your channel on CZcams, and your willingness to extend A bit of your kindness to others. A quality that is seldom found in this world today.
Be well, and God Bless. Respectfully David

Thanks User
Been frequently singing at gigs for several years now and lately I've been having a really tough time handling singing in my bridge. Very quickly get a hoarse, sometimes painful feeling in my throat. I've never received proper training, these exercises and the philosophy behind them have been helping me quite a bit.
I seem to flip back to my old ways, though, when I go to sing some of the songs that I used to. Any tips for working around that?
you sound like you're straining. here's a lesson on vocal break:
ramseyvoice.com/fix-vocal-break/
I like the gee gee gee one lol. Great vid
❤❤thank you
I really appreciate you for your wonderful lessons i ve been following your other videos as well and it has been helping me big time. You and Justin Burke are my saviour. Khamsamida 🙇♂️
You are very welcome
Thanks sir 👍👍👍
Most welcome
This is awesome but do you have any videos that don't explain everything and its just straight vocal warms ups?
Here to improve my flute playing by learning how to sing!
Hi Ramsay, THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS. I would like to improve my singing of reggae songs. Any tips? Reggae is harder to sing than I thought ...
Love the video thank you! Do you have recommendations for belting/gospel like singing?
Hey JM, I have a great article on belting here: ramseyvoice.com/belting/
Thanks
Thanks Matt. I'd like to watch a video about the passage. There's no cracking happening BUT straining, because this area is still weak😏🙄
I'll put something together Birgit. Maybe in a few weeks.
Mix voice video please!
You help me a lot I'm just 8 and I sound like a professional!!+
my husband has a good voice he even trill the R’s in my Latin lessons
There are vocal exercises and vocal warm ups these are 2 different things so I don't know which exercise is a warm up and which one is a vocal exercise please help me out I'm a complete beginner so I'have no idea if you may ,make a list of vocal exercises and vocal warm ups so that it can be easy to understand and know what I'm doing when doing these exercises
Hi Ramsey, just found you on youtube. I'm singing in a chorus for 9 years now (barbershop). Started as a tenor, then sang lead and I'm a bass now. About 3 years ago mi voice became weaker an there's a lot of vibrato in it. I know I can sing but at this point I'm about to quit because in barbershop no vibrato is allowed.... I'm gonna give it a try training with your warmups and see what will come from that. Do you have a video about getting rid of vibrato?
Do your guys' ear tickle when you do the lip trickle and the GUG lmao! I can't do it!
Mine do
Lip trills are my biggest challenge. The other exercises are not difficult for me.
How can I make them easier to execute?
College level education, this is. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏽
Heeeeeeeyyyyy did you change the thumbnail?))) Looks cool!
yes, glad you like it
Thank you! Would you call that a mixed voice, using some falsetto & some head voice @ 16:12?
Does this vocal warmups helps in improving indian classicals?btw thanku for ur video,they r very helpful..
I would say any warmup is going to help any genre
I always end up straining my voice, do you have any simple tips for me as a beginner? It's killing my passion for singing sadly because I need to rest my voice for multiple days after every singing session.
We need a video on mixed voice a have a strong chest voice and a clean strong head voice but I would like to be able to hit higher notes without flipping completely, my flip happens around the d4 which just isn't where i like to be flipping completely
I agree
Yes yes thank u SM i love ya SM omg same i crack on a E4 or F4 And sometimes A D4 but like how do u know when u have a clean And strong head voice And how do u develop it any tips !? 😁
Hey Mxg, I've actually got a great article on mixed voice here: ramseyvoice.com/singing-techniques/
Hello! Great video. Although I am untrained, I have a pretty decent voice. I usually go to my grandmother's nursing home and sing with her for many hours a day to keep her stimulated. However, while I can sing beautifully, I feel that after a couple of minutes I burn out my voice. Is there anyway to ensure that I can keep singing without burnout. Also, I don't want to get a vocal injury. Any tips? Thanks.
Is this a video where I can copy exactly or is this more showing us what different exercises we can do and we do up and down the scale with them?
Hope that made sense
Hey Danny, you can copy exactly, but due to time I was only able to show 3 modulations for each key. Check out my course Master Your Voice for the whole deal: ramseyvoice.com/master-your-voice-waiting-page/
So do we do all of these in these order everyday ? Should it be 3 min of each minimum to reach 30 minutes. I have an okay voice, hard for me to vibrate it without me sounding like I’m just exaggerating a vowel. Hope this workouts long as I practice enough 🙏🏽
