We’ve all been there – scrambling to make it to a gig, trying to get a quick warm-up in by singing in the car. It’s hard to focus, there’s no piano to guide you, and time is always slipping away.

As singers, we don’t always get the luxury of a quiet green room to properly warm up. In fact, I’ve found myself doing vocal exercises in my car more often than not on the way to a show!

Over the years, I’ve honed a quick 10-minute warm-up routine that’s perfect for these less-than-ideal situations. Today, I want to share some of my favorite exercises with you!

Our voice — just like any other part of the body — requires diligent care and practice to unleash its full potential. For professional voice users, the journey towards vocal excellence demands not only passion and artistry but also a profound understanding of the mechanics of the voice. All advanced singers must rely on a foundation of crucial vocal exercises, which serve as the gateway to vocal expansion, clarity, power, and unparalleled control.
