"This exercise might not be too sexy, but it get's the job done. I usually enjoy this as the second exercise in my personal vocal warmup routine, but sometimes begin here and switch things up to accomplish many goals:

1) I start with what I like to call "Lip Aerobics." Maintain a tone while the lips vibrate together. This requires me to relax my face and jaw, maintain consistent support and provide a consistent airflow...or the vibration will sputter. When the sputter occurs I make the necessary adjustments until I achieve my goal. A minimum of three times through is required to confidently move to the next step.

2) When I maintain lip aerobics without any sputtering and the exercise is easy, I move to humming. In simple terms, I close my lips and allow that vibration to dance inside my vocal instrument. My focus at this time is tone placement and resonance. When my tone is easy and sounds alive, full of energy, I move to the next step.

3) Singing this exercise with a smooth phrase will help me check my pure tone to insure all of the vocal mechanics are working together. I generally start with "AH" or "EE" and then move to sol feggio.

4) And finally I sing the voice training exercise as designed stylistically with stacatto.

I share this with you to encourage you to determine what tools work best for you and to not be afraid to mix things up. Everyone's voice is different and our goal as singers is to find our one signature voice. So forget what everyone else is doing or how they sound, and focus on your own potential and what works for you. Good luck!"
