Musical Theatre Voice Warmup

For more information about this warmup, please click here. • Musical Theatre Voice ...
I'm a professional music director and educator in New York City. I have Broadway and off-Broadway credits as well as two decades of teaching experience. This is the warmup I use at the beginnings of my musical theatre classes to make sure my students are ready to sing Broadway repertoire. Enjoy!

He was not happy when he noticed that I stopped singing as the notes got higher

[@Hyperkooki]

I feel him judging me

[@beek.4860]

I do a double take whenever I read your username, because the word “lackadaisical” was an inside joke in my class a while ago. 😂

[@meghanashley4281]

This is THE HARDEST thing I have ever done!!! But at least I could sing the alphabet in order😂That’s all I got lol

[@sanlijooste8738]

My favourite warmup I've found on KZbin so far. Will keep doing it till I get the badadaba, etc, right! Thank you. Please do some more!

[@onyx7332]

try drinking water and doing the badadaba thing again for some reason it helps

[@beek.4860]

i’ve been using this warmup all the time and it that bit seems kinda impossible but it actually gets easier!

[@Salmon.dunlap]

For real! I do this every day, in the car or at home. I've almost got the abc's down but the last one is SO FAST

[@Lobsterboy300]

I do it almost every day

Why are you going so fast 😭😭 those abcs killed me

[@familymcbride2837]

Thank you so much for this warm up! I've got two 12 year old music theater kids who use this in thier rotation several times a week and it's made such a difference! If you ever get an inkling to make another they would love a sequel lol.

[@migrations]

That is pretty fun I like how it stretches your range low and high and stretches your tongue and speaking muscles

[@sarehk2676]

I'd really like to hear you sing the alphabet as fast as you played piano during that warm up XD

[@BroadwayKing15]

I use this every other day. A godsend since this pandemic.

[@Hyperkooki]

Those abcs

[@ceecee328]

[@angelacarbon4010]

I couldn't hear what you sang for some of it, so I couldn't do the warm up. If you would please demo without piano, I could hear it more clearly. Also, the alphabet was too fast on the 2nd half. If you would slow it down to the fastest speed as the 1st half, I'd appreciate it. Thanx.

[@karlakaay]

Difficult, this alfabet is not in my language 😅
