Vocal Warm Up Routine
Animal Sounds for Beginning Singers

Vocal warm up routines that are fun make it easier to remember singing exercises from week to week, and at home in-between singing lessons. Vocalises using animal sounds employ a lot of the "primal" sounds beginning singers need to learn how to use.



Of course, it makes beginning singers feel very silly to make sounds like a puppy... or a mosquito... or a gorilla. It breaks the ice, though, if you the teacher act like it's all fun, and do the warm up along with them.

I always tell them, "This is going to make you feel very silly -- but part of becoming a singer is being willing to look funny!"

The real purpose of these singing exercises is to get children singing sounds and experiencing what may be new sensations in their facial "mask" (especially the nose and cheekbones) and throat. With the Panting Dog exercise, they should feel the rise and fall of the diaphragm dramatically.

I hope you find these singing warm-ups helpful in your studio.
