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!

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

[@oliviablevins2664]

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

[@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 RUclips 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

[@sarehk2676]

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

[@CoraCrush]

This is soo hard oh no AHHAHA especially the. ABCDEFG...

[@CoraCrush]

And also the namananama kadadkada TT I’m struggling

[@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

[@Hyperkooki]

Those abcs

[@beraud602]

Is anyone ACTUALLY able to do all the super fast stuff? Like, there is no way

[@ceecee328]

The closed captions for this are insane 😂

[@BroadwayKing15]

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

[@mialomuntad216]

[@carwashslayer4235]

The best parts are 1:45 and 4:55

[@LukesLifeofficial]

So good. Challenging but easy to follow

[@angelacarbon4010]

It would be easier if you could do it all the way through with us, not just the first one, pls. Tysm.

[@JenniferBrisee]

ok i LOVE this warmup by Whyyyyyy do you speed up SO much in the alphabet section? It's impossible to keep up to work on the higher register. hahaha

[@tjshelton5632]

THANK YOU!!

[@emmysrandomcrafts]

Thankyou so much! I have been looking for a vocal warmup for theatre and this helped sooo much! We are doing Shrek the musical jr right now and there's so many notes and stuff I need to work on, and this is awesome! Thankyou!

And supporting me

[@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.
