Hello friends! I’m Madeleine Harvey and thank you so much for joining me today. I wanted to devote some time guiding you through a great warmup routine that you can do every time you get prepared to sing. So if you like today’s video, be sure to give it a thumbs up and be sure to subscribe. I would love to have you as a part of my musical family!
I’m going to share with you my favorite warms up that I do every time. We’ll start with the basic essentials for a great warm up, and I’ll also show you how build onto each exercise, making them more advanced to suit your growing skill level The exercises used in today’s video are designed to layer a vocal foundation by including the areas of the voice used to Power, coordinate and amplify your voice.
It can be really confusing to select what you need to do as a warmup. Especially when you are learning on your own. So keep in mind the most important thing is to wake up your internal spaces and remind your muscles what will be expected of them and how they can support you. In the same way that a dancer stretches before a show. Your warm ups should always include exercises that focus on Power, coordination and amplification. With all that being said, it is crucial to bring in an attitude of deliberateness when you are warming up. You want to make your warmups as much like your performance as you can. When you perform, there is an elevation to the energy, we don’t half commit to our singing on a stage. So make sure you’re as deliberate and energetic in your warmups as well.
(Power) Activate your breath
This is where it all begins. The diaphragm is your engine of Power. Everything is sourced from here. So rev it up, get it stared and make sure your going deep for everything you need. We have to launch the breath into the face. (Could also do ff’s short staccato)
Revving the diaphragm - 4 short 1 long. (to add pizzaz - go on lip trill) This is going to do wonders for your phrasing and style. This raving or bouncing motion not only supports your sound, but gives your singing momentum and a presence that energizes your sound.
2. (Coordination) Adding breath to tone - Closed mouth jumps - Advanced Ha jump with spin
This sound is fantastic in building cord strength. The bouncing action releases muscular tension from the mix.
3. NG (amplification) (Cats about to fight) - We use temporary coordinations as a means to accentuate the one resonator so that it is strong enough to assist in the balancing of the others. It’s entirely possible that you may have to over-accentuate one resonator in order for them to blend equally. The mix is always going to default a little towards the head voice. Don’t resist this, but instead go with the release of it. AS you work this sound, you will be able to modify it to include more muscle fiber.
Now you’ll want to connect that turning sensation with a part of your face that is incredibly resonant. (Al capon) Nuh 1-3-5-8 we hear a distinct presence of each resonator in the overall tone. As you pay attention to your acoustics in your head, you’ll need to be incredibly clear with your mental imagery. Really work to aim your sound. This will allow both your chest and head voices to share the responsibility of the shifting nature of the tone.
Thank you so much for joining me today!

Yasssssss
I am a 65 year old mezzo working on voice rehab. This and your breathing tips are helping lots. Thank you so much!
My cat just gave me a look of judgement for the cat-fighting warm up :')
TheReviewHuman hahahahahahahahaha
lol my cat too omg
mine starts meowing and looking at me with worried eyes
You're such a f***ing great teacher, I'm honestly overwhelmed by your expertise. Thank you so much!
Hi,
You are a fabulous teacher, I'm glad I found you.
She is amazing. Really helps me find my " inner voice." Don't ever stop, we love you.
Thank you for sharing your video i've learned a lot
I hardly ever leave comments...Just want to say thank you for taking the time to offer this lesson on RUclips. It is exactly like having a vocal class in my living room. I used to take lessons as a girl because singing was the one thing my soul wanted to do. Then, I came to believe that I could not sing and did not sing for over 30 years. Now, I am singing again. You are so articulate and fun (and cute!)! Thank you!! ~Donna
PS, Wanted to also comment about the "ng" sound!...also a magical sound in Yoga (Kundalini) - ONG is a sacred syllable, and resonates with the sound of the "infinite" when chanted properly so as to vibrate the nasal cavity.
Brasilian here. You’re helping me a lot. Thanks Mads...
6:45 whoooooo 14:55 mmmmhmmmm 23:10 cat sound
You are so fantastic! Such a great way of breaking down exercises and explaining them in a way that covers both the science and the practical application
you are fantastic. Rare to find someone of your caliber and sincerity. There is no holding back from you..so generous of you
Unbelievable! That “nuhr”(?) exercise changed my life in 10 minutes! I had s little more difficulty maintaining that mouth/throat position on higher notes. I’d love to see a sequel to this video.
Thank you SO much!
What nuhr??
@ 27:45
Madeleine you are amazing my dear. After only three videos of your today i feel my voice very different. Thank yoy so much. It will help my confidence in singing a lot. Really really amazing teacher and i love your elegance.
This is so helpful! I’ve been singing for 7 years but I’ve never really had a solid warm up routine, I’ve always done it but I’ve always just done scales and runs to warm up but these are so interesting! Thank you so much! X
Thank you! Thank you, Madeleine!
My first lesson with you--fantastic!
I love your exercises soooo much! They are so funny but sooo effective! There is no other channel that demonstrates for me such in depth knowledge of the voice in general, the science and psychology that goes with it all and the best exercises out there. Agree totally that the singing journey must be a playground of opportunities and exploration and discovery. So important at any level and in any genre. I'm a classical/choral singer/early music singer and this helped me no end. You are amazing! Wish you were my teacher so much! You have helped me a lot! I have a big concert coming up so I'm binge watching all your videos! 😆👌🏻
Thanks soo much this helped me a lot I can sing better if I keep practicing I will be good thanks keep on going 💖💖
Yessss your videos are so incredibly helpful! I think I'm really just starting to discover "my sound"!
That's awesome Calida!
I was litarly just singing a song and i just woke up and my voice needed a warm and this was uploaded thank you so much
Thank you helped me a lot!!
Brilliant. ...Thank you 💙
I'm doing some singing auditions and this channel is great to improve my singing skills, thank you❤
Thank you so much for these valuable lessons, I hope you know you're reaching people from all over the globe, and that I feel blessed by being one of them. Greetings from Argentina!!!
You are the BEST singing teacher ever!
Thank you so much Ivy!
Can’t wait to try these
you were wonderful. thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with us.
Love this one. Crossing the break is what we used to call it. Love this NEW approach for me. Coming up on a BBS Chorus Show tomorrow afternoon. This is helpful for me, I believe.
You are a wonderful teacher! Your personality and sense of humor is fantastic. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
This video is absolutely perfect. Your gently kind way to explain the exercises is amazing. Thank u for this.
I'm auditioning for my school's production of hairspray tomorrow and watching your videos is helping me prepare! Thanks for all the helpful vocal tips!💖
Go get em' Lauren!! You're gonna be great!!
Wow, my voice has been in a deep deep sleep, I feel such a difference with the exercise. Thank you so much!
Love the teaching style. Makes everything so clear.
you are such a radiant person Madeleine! i enjoy doing these with your warm and funny energy
Best class ever! And very light and fun, thank you Madeleine! You're the best.
You haven't uploaded in a while and I am so glad you are back
I apologize to my family daily for sounding so obnoxious and insane, but I have no other place to practice other than my room. I really love your videos by the way! They’re very helpful!
Wow I'm so glad I found you
Wow I just tried the excercise here and already I hear a difference in my singing. Thank you so much for sharing your lesson. Please post more. Thank you!
Does it make sense that I want to learn how to sing better but I don't why? I just want to be able too express myself better and release emotion, and sing praise to God. I don't particularly care if anyone is listening. Does that even make sense? Just curious if anyone else feels the same. I guess it's sort of like learning to play the piano. Maybe, lol. Sorry, guess I'm trying to figure out whether to take voice lessons.
Hi Robert! That makes perfect sense! Let your desire for freedom and connection be your touchstone as you release the limitations from your voice. Just being there with your experience will open it up in beautiful ways and is the foundation of the vocal experience. The technical stuff is there to keep your body working to stay open, healthy and balanced as you express yourself.
Hi Robert, it makes complete sense and I feel the same way as you do as well. Please allow me to share a little - when I was young, people would put me down for trying to sing; even my own brother told me that nobody in our family could sing well. Because of this, I did not try out for my school choir due to fear of rejection, and I completely gave up on singing. However, after I came to know Jesus a few years back, I wanted badly to be able to sing well, to sing praises and offer up worship to Him during my private worship/prayer time. I prayed to Jesus, to please lead me to a vocal school if possible, and I found a few good ones over the internet but did not have the guts to sign up for any lessons. A few days later, I was talking to a sister-in-Christ at my ex-workplace and she mentioned that she would be heading for guitar lessons at a Christian music school nearby. She even invited me to go with her to take a look. To my surprise, it was one of the schools that I was researching on! Turns out, it was less than 10mins walk away from my ex-workplace! I went for a visit but unfortunately, there were no suitable slots. I prayed to Jesus again, and one week before the semester commenced, the school called me and informed me about a new slot they had opened up due to overwhelming sign-ups. The new slot was the perfect day of the week, and the perfect timeslot for me! It's been 1.5 years since I've taken up vocal lessons. Before every single lesson, I would invite the Holy Spirit to please join us. I would always feel His beautiful Presence in the studio as all of us started the lesson with a prayer to the Lord, and sang our hearts out to Him. So beautiful. I pray that the Lord will lead and guide you in your journey regarding taking voice lessons too. I am sure that He will guide you. He is so faithful! God bless you and keep you, dear brother-in-Christ. Jesus loves you! :)
"Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples."
- Psalm 96:1-3
Robert Hynes that totally makes sense. Listen to steffany frizzel/gretzinger. I want to be able to sing like her one day, but only because she seems to be able to just let go completely while I'm stage. One of my favorite live performances of hers is Child of God.
Robert Hynes I'm so glad I came across your comment. It's not a coincidence that you are feeling this way, maybe God wants to use you in singing praise and worship maybe you just want to sing better for him either way there is a desire there and I think if you feel the leading or urge to do you should pursue it. I'm in the same exact boat that you are right now. I've always enjoyed singing but I did it more for pleasure instead of performing. I was singing in the church with my family but am not attending there at the moment. I've honestly never put in the effort to exercise my vocal chords or the the discipline of practicing over and over. Now, I'm in this place where I want to improve for the very reasons you do because I want to sing for the glory of God. I'm not sure what for or where it is going to lead but I'm pursuing it and trusting God. I just wanted to stop in and encourage you to that if you feel God leading you to do this then pursue it! Also God wanted me to tell you to look to him to validate to you about your singing and the reasons why and not to look for answers through others..alot of people wont understand and they dont have the answers you are looking for. Be blessed
Yes, of course it makes sense. You are worshipping our Lord and savior and you want to offer him your very best. I am part of the worship team at my church and I've been looking on youtube ways to improve my worship. It's not to impress anyone, I just want to offer God all I've got.
Welcome back, Madeleine, you were sorely missed :)
Sirens are the best warm ups! Thank you!
I always enjoy these warm ups. You make it so fun with all the little antics that you do!!
lesson well thought out. easy to follow.very specific and clear about what makes avocal sound.
This is amazing. Thanks.
You're such a good teacher. Thank you.
You are seriously an excellent instructor!
Thanks a lot for your efficient exercises!!
Loved it. Reminds me of some of the weird "kid" sounds we used to improvise as children...of which the "lip trills" were also a part of just playing around. Thanks for the natural/intuitive links to finding voice. Peace...
Wow, this was amazing. I've never heard it taught like this before. Really great.
I haven't yet discover my singing voice 😔 but I believe l will soon ....
Thanks for helping me Madeleine....Thank you so much.
Amazing!!! Cool! Thank you! Love!
Madeleine you're amazing. Your videos have helped me reach Freddie Mercury's top note in Bohemian. Thank you so much. I'll be a regular learner with you. X
You are an excellent instructor!, Thank you!
Finally i think i get the hang of it, some of it, at least the breathing part. I have scanned through google for singing coaches and there are many good out there but you are by far my favorite. You're funny, sweet and most of all, really adequate. Thank You Madeleine
Thanks so much for your wonderful videos, they are sometimes surprising but always really helpful!
I'm applying the lessions an learning, thank you. 😊
You are so amazing. You literally have opened my world up!💖 Your video's are awesome! 😍
Thank you for the awesome videos!! They're the best ones,
I'm learning things that were not taught to me in my private lessons.
Diana Ross aged 78 uses a warm drink. She explained a bit this year in her concert in Glasgow. She said that it helps her to hit the high notes. Some might use some honey and lemon in it I believe. Thanks for sharing this information and video.
😱 I'm so excited. These exercises are wonderful. Could I imagine that a couple of tries would make understand how to produce high notes? I've been trying to reach these notes for a long time without any improvements, but now they seem be unlocked. Thank you very much!
Learning from you give me new hope to train my voice! Thank you for your passionate teaching.
Amazing lessons! I m from Brazil, pls put legend for us! It will be more easy to understand every explanations u do!
thank you for making this knowledge available.
Amazing video, incredibly helpful, thank you!
Thank you! So happy to see you back again 😀
It's really good to be back! Thank you so much!
I’m doing a talent show with my bestie and we are drumming singing and song writing please wish us luck !!xx
Thank you, Madeleine Harvey, for your wondeful videos! I've learn more in 2 weeks with you than by getting through months of vocal coaching in a studio... P.-S. I would like to see you doing a video about runs and riffs and dynamics, if you search for ideas for new content.
Love your lessons, they have helped me so much!
Thank you! I needed this.
i am trying to learn to sing from a really good classical singer in scotland. She is amazing. But because i have had abuse since my childhood (Now 47) about my singing being worse than awful- which i know is not accurate- i have zero confidence and am really distressed about performing and not being anyway near perfect. Then I relax into it and really enjoy the lesson. my results are based on my mood however. I love your craziness and find your videos very helpful as a second tenor trying to be a first tenor, to connect visually with my head voice and my diaphram. It helps me be less tense and relax into enjoying the singing. Thank you. I subscribe. Ax
Thank you! Best video by far! ❤️
That was extraordinary Madeleine. Thank you for explaining it so well. My voice has become scratchy over the years and I would love to rejuvenate it if I can.
I really love all of your videos, this on awesome. Thanks you for your help
It works perfectly!!
Lot's of valuable data. I sent it to my band!
Informative and educational, thank you.
My voice sounds better after doing these once! Thank you so much, you are a great teacher.
Madeline, thank you!! These videos are so very helpful!!
I enjoyed the sounds produced in your exercises! Thanks for the helpful video! :)
this is amazing!!!!!! thank you!
I love your way of teaching.
Thank you Madeleine!
Thanks for all your helppp ❤️
You are simply brilliant at explaining with precision unbelievable. Thank you so much 🙏
This is going to be so useful for my audition tomorrow!!
Fabulous! I’m glad I found you.
Wow! This is really good and helpful! Keep up the good work, Maddy! You're awesome! Just subscribed!
Welcome back Madeleine!!! I hope you will post more 🙌
Hi Melon! Thank you so much!
super helpful , so glad I found this channel ! thank you so much
Great channel! Thank you so much for your generous gifts !!
You are really best of the best!!!! Thank you so much for amazing tips and your since of humor. Your videos helped me a lot to get practically the sound in the right place. You are very cute, dear Madeleine!
Show was AWESOME!! I was very free in my voice. My BIGGEST take-away from this vid is the idea of closing the mouth to do the exercises to work ONLY the vocal folds! Opening the mouth makes changes to include throat muscles. Big Take-Away.
That's awesome Rebecca!!! That makes me so happy to hear! That was a big moment for me too. I realized I could isolate the sensations more when my mouth was closed and then slowly open the mouth to balance the sensations as I worked to include more resonating space (which requires more air pressure within the resonator) Great work!
this is so helpful. thank you so much.....
