The local Baha'i choir the "New Era Baha'i Singers" in Perth run up and down the octave with the following phrases when warming up:
"Yonder and far" - excellent for getting off the consonants and plummying the vowels.
"Bubblegum" / "Double bubblegum" / "Triple double bubblegum" - clarifies diction and gets the lips tingling.
Dana:
These are fun! Is the "Yonder and far" sung to the notes of a chord, as in "1 - 3 - 5 - 8"? (C-E-G-C, for example.)
Do you know what the INTERVALS are that the Bubblegum warm-up uses? This would be great with a group.
