Back for more? Brilliant! Cause today we’re continuing our journey into vocal health. Leading on from our last episode… today we’ll be covering Vocal Warm-Ups/Downs, giving you an insight into the exercises we use to prepare our voice for singing and how we cool down. Many of these, such as the exercise 'Baby Babble' we learnt from our teacher Lucinda Allen from @voiceunlocked. We’ll be explaining why we use the techniques we do, and how they are beneficial for your voice. As always, be prepared for some laughs and discussion! We’d love to hear what vocal exercises you use and if any of the techniques we cover resonate with you and your practice!

Thank you, hope you enjoy!

Welcome back! Let's continue our journey into vocal health... 

During our second episode, we'll be discussing how to prepare your body and breath for singing. We will be covering body alignment and different stretches tailored to releasing unnecessary tension, in the muscles we use during singing. To activate the breath, we will be presenting different exercises, allowing our body to respond to the demands of vocalisation. This is in preparation for our episode next week, where we'll be going through our personal vocal warm-up/down routines. Please feel free to reach out through our social media platforms, email and the link provided below with any questions or comments. 

Thank you, hope you enjoy!
