A gentle 2:50 routine to prepare your voice before you record. Never push past comfort.
Relax & breathe · 30s
Stand tall, drop your shoulders. Breathe low into your belly for a few slow cycles to settle in.
Lip trills · 30s
Blow air through loosely closed lips to make them flap, sliding gently up and down. Releases lip and breath tension.
Humming sweep · 30s
Hum "mmm" comfortably, then slide from your lowest easy note up to the highest and back. Wakes up resonance without strain.
Vowel sirens · 30s
On "oo" or "ee", glide slowly from low to high and down again, like a siren. Connects your registers smoothly.
Jaw & tongue release · 20s
Drop the jaw, massage the cheeks, and circle the tongue. Loosens the articulators.
Gentle scale · 30s
Sing a simple 5-note scale up and down softly. Never push past comfort — keep it easy.
