At your next audition, try this simply version of a vocal warm-up.
- Squeeze the muscles in your face tight. This includes your eyes and lips. After holding for a beat or two, release your muscles, open your eyes and mouth as wide as possible stretching all the muscles of the face. Repeat the exercise several times.
- NEXT, relax your lips and blow gently. This should cause your lips to vibrate. Take an easy breath in, expanding your abdomen and add voice to blowing out, going from low to high in pitch and back again. You are doing this exercise correctly if your lips and nose tingle!
