Vocal Fitness Training™
Singing Lessons and Vocal Coaching
Daily Five #1
- Two Warm-ups
- Three Technique Builders
- Approximate Practice Time: 20 minutes
Practice these exercises every day to get the most benefit, as they workout different aspects of your voice and range throughout the week. Each day has a different emphasis giving you a overall vocal fitness workout. The minimum practicing recommended is 4-5 days per week (it doesn’t matter which days.) The “sixth” humming exercise is not intended as an exercise at all, but a vocal cool-down, and should be done with a relaxed hum.
Please Note: track descriptions may be followed by a letter indicating the vocal range or direction of the exercise: (A) Ascending (D) Descending (L) Low (H) High (VH) Very High
