Expose your voice with this sustained singing exercise!- New Video!
Last week, I posted and blogged about the importance of singing a quick moving vocalize in your warm-up.
Another type of exercise that you should consider adding to your regular warm up routine is one that works on sustained exposed singing.
A sustained singing warm-up is the type of exercise that you need to do slowly and properly. Sing through this exercise smoothly and supported up to the high note and hold. As you raise your pitch, go down in your body for maximum support. Never feel that your larynx is rising for you to reach the higher notes; rather anchor down into your abdominal wall for support.
Here’s a link to the video I made for this sustained vocalize on YouTube: Sing away to it

I have a question about something I heard J-Lo say on Idol, and I wanted your opinion. After one of the contestants sang she said something like – If you can’t sing that note switch it up. You’re a professional, don’t show them your weakness. Only play to your strengths. I understand why J-Lo would say that to a contestant in a singing competition, but do you agree with her? Do you think a singer should not try singing something that stretches them? I know over the past year and a half, I’ve been working on stretching and smoothing out my break. Sometimes I’d “force myself” to sing a song in public that I didn’t actually feel 100% comfortable singing because it was outside my comfort zone. Doing it in public gave me confidence that what I was working on was working. I don’t consider myself a professional, but I don’t consider myself a student either (so maybe I’m a semi – working – professional??) I’d just like your input on this topic.
