25 Minute Vocal Lesson & Warm-Up Exercises (Lesson style: includes the “why” & “how”)

Welcome to this strength and agility vocal workout and warm up!
This video is lesson-style, meaning that I take pauses throughout to give you the “why” & “how” of the exercise, or some tips in between.
This in-depth guided warm-up is created to help you prepare for a performance or your vocal lesson and covers a wide variety of different exercises to help strengthen your vocal muscles and vocal agility.
If you would like a warmup that doesn’t contain the education in between the exercises, please check out my Warm Up with Me video:
• Vocal Warmup - Warm Up...
Thank you for watching!

Enjoy!

Sophia's warmup is GREAT!

[@SophiaLily]

So glad you’ve enjoyed!

[@frankrepasi7088]

Thank You for the great warm up and also accompaniment, I am a bass baritone and find it very good exercise to follow you in head voice almost as high as you, a soprano, this is such good exercise for me. I am also a fan of Jeff Rolka . more videos please😯

[@SophiaLily]

Hi Frank! Wow! This is so kind of you to say, I’m honored. I was very curious how baritones & tenors would do with this range, awesome to hear you’re able to utilize it too! I’m so happy to hear this. And yes! Jeff is great!!

[@cecelia3292]

Wi wi wi wi weeee! Hey hey heyyy! This is such a great workout! Yoga for the vocal chords is just what my students need to perform their upcoming musical! What a great strength training. Just like bodybuilding. But for singing!

[@SophiaLily]

Yes!!! Exactly! I LOVE that you call it Vocal yoga! It’s so totally is. I’m so glad it’s helping you and your students! Enjoy!

[@deborahdefelice8692]

[@SophiaLily]

My pleasure! Thank you for watching & for commenting!

[@gfhfolktrio]

Very nice!

[@SophiaLily]

Thank you!!

[@margaretaoconnell6958]

Brilliant so very grateful. Thank you, I have a lot of trouble with lower notes especially after singing a lot in my high register ie. Carmine Burana 1st sop. Kind regards Margareta

[@SophiaLily]

Hi Margareta! Thank you for commenting & for watching! Yes! As soprano 1’s we can be very comfortable and adept in that high range, and the low range is tricky! The Hmm-Mah exercise and consciously “singing with your speaking voice” will help a lot to bring out that rich lower register! Thanks again and keep singin !!

[@adelinotiago]

Show de bola, seus vídeos. Muito bom, Deus abençoe!

[@SophiaLily]

Obrigado!!!

[@Zman26448]

Please do one on how to sing very low notes

[@mariebellnero585]

hi i have a song on youtube call he my help i wont to know if iam singing with air flow in this song

[@SophiaLily]

Hi there !! Yes! You have a BEAUTIFUL voice and fabulous soul in your sound. For more air support - I would recommend singing as though your mouth is near your belly button; this will give you more core support. Also- play around with singing from more of your hard palate (the spot right behind your teeth); feel the sound vibrate there and you may get a stronger sound! Hope this helps! And again you sound great!

[@mariebellnero585]

@@SophiaLilythank you!

[@danceswithash]

Love this warm up but, and I'm not trying to be rude, your stopping to talk mid flow, is really sending my adhd mind up the wall😅

[@SophiaLily]

Lol! Thank you for your feedback. I was just talking about making a follow up that is strictly the exercises and not also educational (the “why” or “how” behind the exercise- but just the exercise itself!) When I make that one I’ll post the link for it here! Thank you Julia!

[@SophiaLily]

I’ve renamed the video - it’s more of a vocal lesson with warm up exercises! True follow-along warm up coming soon 😊

[@danceswithash]

@@SophiaLily 🫶🏿❤️🙏🏿

[@danceswithash]

@SophiaLily thank you so much for your reply. I'm looking forward to that, because the exercises you share are really good 👍🏿

[@SophiaLily]

All set, Julia! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXbIYWlsj6eEa5osi=9b3jbLvf_BSDC05T

[@ashlimorgan5517]

I suggest not stopping to speak during scales. You explain it first and then we are trying to follow you so when you abruptly stop to talk it’s distracting

[@SophiaLily]

Hi Ashli! This is a vocal lesson video that encompasses the why & how of the exercise, but if you check out my “Warm up with me” video- it’s just the exercises without any stops ☺️
