Why are warm-ups so important?
Why is warming up your voice necessary? Is it a tactic for your singing teacher to make your lesson more torturous? These are questions that a singing teacher gets constantly. Although, of course, I have my own questions. Am I warming up too loud in my hotel room? Am I going to bother the people in my Airbnb? But in order to do my job and to keep my cords healthy to teach my students and torture them with warm-ups, it is necessary. Think about it. Do you check the oil and water in your car? Driving hundreds of miles in your car creates a lot of heat in the engine. The oil and water help to cool the engine and keeps it in good working order. if you don’t look after it, and the engine will seize. Replacing the engine with a new one will be very expensive. But unlike engines, our vocal cords are not replaceable. Just like stretching before you run or doing any physical activity, by stretching it maintains and lowers your risk in injury.
