- Improve your vocal stamina with Dr Dan's singing tips. Singing a three-minute song is one thing. But what about singing for a full hour set? Come to think of it, what about singing multiple sets over multiple nights? Your ability to sing for longer periods of time all comes down to your vocal stamina…

1:01 Singers are 'Vocal Athletes'
Diet, good sleep, healthy hydration and regular disciplined warm-ups all contribute to the stamina of the athlete and that includes vocal athletes.
1:31 Build Vocal Stamina over time
I always require my students to do a 20-minute practice every second day for the first couple of weeks. Once the voice starts to feel comfortable with that length of time, we increase their practice to 25 minutes. And we keep adding 5 minutes every couple of weeks until the singer is practising for about an hour.
3:01 Vocal Rest
My last tip for developing vocal stamina, is “know when not to sing.” Your vocal stamina is not infinite. You have a limited vocal budget each day. Building vocal stamina is like growing your budget over time.

I've been performing for almost 8 years now and here's my tip:
1. vocal warm up helps.
• if you just wanted to warm up, do a 20-30mins vocal warm up.
• if you are about to perform 1-2 songs, do a 15min vocal warm up, at least an hour before your performance.
• if you're about to perform 10-30+ songs, a regular gig (like me) don't talk too much, avoid whispering, and only do a 5min vocal warm up in the shower. take note: water must be hot.
question: why do i think vocal warm up actually helps?
answer: because i used to skeptical. you could say i was born a naturally gifted musician, and singing is my forte. i never believed doing vocal warm ups could help change my singing, but it did.
2. Don't eat a lot before performing. Don't eat in between sets. You could eat, but don't make yourself feel that you're about to be full. Drink warm water everytime you feel something different in your throat.
3. Don't be too over confident about your vocal stamina. I used to believe i could perform for straight 6hrs with no break, until i experienced it on an event. My voice started cracking within 3hrs.
In conclusion: Don't accept overly long gig invitations. Your maximum would be 3 sets, at least an hour per set, and 30min breaks in between.
4. Learn new styles when you have time. Learn vocal runs, perfect falsettos, vocal riffs, etc. Heck, i've even tried to learn mongolian throat singing.
5. Preserve your voice. Your voice is precious, it could be ruined if you do not take good care of it. There's a reason why 9/10 of popular singers have undergo at least one throat surgeries in their career.
Take good care of it.
Everything he said on this video is correct and accurate. So, please indulge yourself in watching more of this, and train hard but not too hard.
question: how good stamina is good stamina?
answer: i cannot say how good stamina is, but if you can sing at least 20 songs in one night, then that is enough stamina.
right now, i perform 4 times a week, my only break is wednesday, sundays and mondays, and i perform 40+ songs per night, that's 8pm to 12:30pm. and yes, that is possible. In one point i even performed every night for a whole month.
Thank you so much, this is very helpful!
Mate 3 hours- woah 😭😭🤌🏻
Yes. Warm up but don't do your show before your show
I get it
😬 lol
been there 😝 dont do it guys !!
Haha ! I feel you bro
Everyone reading this: WATCH ALL HIS VIDEOS SO HELPFUL.
Excellent Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - Mackorny Ejaculation Remedy Blueprint (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one off product for Curing Premature Ejaculation minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend Sam at last got amazing results with it.
@@alexvidu4517 I have stumbled here and now seek your wisdom.
I sing in a youth chorus called East Coast Sound and we sing barbershop. We don’t get together very often and we only have one rehearsal a month. That rehearsal is 4 HOURS LONG. I always end up completely gone after that, my voice has been completely shot every rehearsal no matter how easy I sing. I can last about 45 minutes to an hour as of right now without feeling in bad voice. This video will definitely help me build that stamina up I think. I NEED it!

Hellooo fellow barbershopper!!!
Training the brain and the vocals to sing the right note at the right time helped me a ton
Totally Dan. For me, it's a real mental challenge to maintain the discipline to pace yourself vocally when you have to sing night after night and your natural inclination is to belt and wail. I still have to remind myself constantly to economize on gigs, don't skip breaks, and after the show, just avoid talking.
IM ABOUT TO PLAY ELLE WOODS AND IM SO NERVOUS FOR THAT LAST NOTE IN "so much better"

I absolutely LOVE your videos. Been a pro singer, bel canto, and perform jazz. I also teach.
You're info outranks even my fav coach, Cheryl Porter. THANK YOU!!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Eve Haslam. Thanks for watching.
Cheryl is my fav too 🤗💖
I really needed this. I still have some power in my voice, but it doesn't feel quite right yet since I haven't been signing as much as I used to. But then I'm 54, so I have to be careful not to mess my voice up. I try to keep well hydrated at all times. I also have asthma so that changes the game a little bit.
this video just told me that I should practice to improve stamina but then didn't tell how what to do??? I already know I should practice, that's why I'm here!

What is the correct way to warm-up without spend stamina?

Lets say i wanna sing in the rnb genre. How should i practice so my vocal stamina can grow?
Oh boy this is going to be a long journey haha I'm very introvert but I've been assigned to sing main vocals for our band and play guitar, and my vocal stamina is pretty pretty low, I guess one factor is that I'm not talkative or I barely talk enough even at home, like I'll only talk for 12 hours every week. Sometimes I don't talk the entire day because there's nobody to talk to, unless I'm with my partner or at store. I'm saving this vid for my vocal journey, thank you!
I'm glad you found the information helpful! It's completely understandable that adjusting to a new role as a lead vocalist might be a challenge, especially if you're introverted and have yet to use your voice extensively. Remember that building vocal stamina and confidence is a journey that will take time and consistent practice. Here are a few tips to help you along the way:
1. Regular practice: Set aside dedicated time for vocal practice, including warm-ups, exercises, and singing. Consistent practice will help you build stamina and improve your vocal abilities.
2. Vocal exercises: Work on targeted exercises to build your vocal strength and endurance. Consider working with a vocal coach who can guide you through exercises tailored to your specific needs and goals.
3. Engage in conversation: Find opportunities to talk more during the day, even if it's just casual conversation with friends, family, or your partner. This can help you become more comfortable using your voice and improve your vocal stamina.
4. Gradual exposure: Ease into your new role by participating in low-pressure singing situations, like informal jam sessions with your band or open mic nights. This can help you build your confidence and become more comfortable on stage.
5. Warm-up and cool-down: Just like any physical activity, it's essential to warm up your voice before singing and cool down afterwards. This can help prevent strain and injury while promoting vocal health.
6. Mindset: Remember that your role as a lead vocalist is a learning process, and it's okay to make mistakes. Be patient with yourself, and focus on your progress rather than aiming for perfection.
7. Support: Surround yourself with supportive people who can encourage you and provide constructive feedback. Your bandmates, vocal coach, and friends can be invaluable sources of support and motivation.
Remember to enjoy the process, and don't be too hard on yourself. Embrace the opportunity to grow as a vocalist and musician, and most importantly, have fun with it!
For some reason my voice is more tired after I warm up!
It also just kinda feels like it hasn’t warmed up at all
I am very careful with my voice, when I feel the slightest pain in my throat I skip my training because I want to avoid to hurt my voice. When I feel pain while I practise, I immediately stop singing.
So I’m only here because i like to do voice acting on smule and everytime i’d try to put on an certain voice I can’t hold it for too long. I know this video isn’t for voice acting but for some reason i felt it could help me
great advice thanks
Glad it was helpful!
any advice on developing vib / making it stronger ?
Hi Dan! I am trying to strengthen my upper register and when I am finished I feel slightly fatigued vocally. I have been singing for a long time, but I do end up spending 2 hours singing some times and that's when I get tired. Am I pushing myself too much during practice? I get worried because I have been told in the past that your voice should never be tired but that doesn't seem to make much sense to me as I don't believe that anyone can just sing indefinitely. Do all singers get tired if they push themselves for 2+ hours or can singers with proper technique sing without ever getting tired?
Watching this because I wanted to sing longer in my car
Hello, dr. Dan! I really enjoyed your video, thank you!
The question of building vocal endurance and stamina is, for too long, an unsolved issue for me. The reason why is simple... I don't know or, in other words, I can't decide which are the right vocal exercises to be done in these 20 minutes to a full hour of workout. Would you please help me with an advice?
Thank you so much!
Hi, Pina Sandu. You may find my online singing course helpful - drdan.co/onlinesinginglessons. Feel free to check it out sometime. The first module is free to preview!
This advice was extremely helpful to me! I just finished band rehearsal and noticed that I just flat out “run out of steam” after a few songs - and this seems to happen at every rehearsal and every show. It’s been super frustrating to say the least.
The marathon runner analogy really hit hard! I typically do a warm up earlier in the day and then vocalize on my way to rehearsals and or shows.
When would you suggest warming up beforehand so that I can save my voice?
Thank you SO much for all your content!

Karin Isman put me onto you. And I've been addicted to your videos! ☺️
+Dr Dan's Voice Essentials she sure is and will do! I would like to email you as I would like some help with singing contemporary. I've only been classically trained but work as a contemporary singer. I pretty much transfer and apply most of my classical techniques into my pop singing, and have figured out on my own how to apply it in various ways where it can work... But want to learn other ways... Karin said you would welcome an email from me and that you do Skype lessons? As I am in Sydney! Thanks :)
What about appoggio breathing? How does one do that? I heard that is the correct thing to do, but how is it done? How much time should a person do singing exercises per day? Say,if they have been doing this for a while...I can not afford a teacher or any lessons...this is all I got! Can you help?
Looking forward to your videos and your help. I struggle with vocal stamina and I'm starting to promote my new album, so I need some techniques and advice. Thanks!
Hello Dr dan if someone is back to singing after a 3 month break, how long does it usually take to go back to stage-level? Pop singer
I think you could be back up and running within 1-3 months.
I'm a guitar teacher, therefore I have to talk for long periods of time almost everyday. Does talking for long periods of time affect you? It seems like my voice gets tired faster once I start singing. Does talking deviate vocal rest?
Yes, talking excessively also affects your voice. Teachers use vocal care routines to avoid losing or damaging their voice all the time, especially if they have loose tempers! 🙈
@@hotdoggop4376 yes thank you! I've been much better, it's hard because I teach guitar, but I don't talk at all when I can and it's really helped my singing!
Thank you that was helpful! I’m trying for first time.. how long do you think before I can sing powerfully for 2 hrs a day?
I was just cast as the Baker’s Wife in Into the Woods and I’m so nervous since all the roles I’ve played until now have one big song and then not much after that for the rest of the show, whereas the Baker’s Wife sings throughout majority of the show, and it’s Sondheim so it’s super tricky
So what exercises to use to build this strength and stamina? You did not show us how, you talked all through the video!
Dan I already know why, I just need to know how to improve tone and build up from singing for 1-2 hours to singing a full 4 hour gig. There is no reason to ask me why, or have roundabout useless discussions. I am very straight up, direct, I just want to know how to improve and be the best I can, and get gigs and make money and totally totally maximize my music abilities. Just the necessary facts. Unfortunately I can not afford to pay anyone for any lessons. That is just how it is.
I did not say that, I just want to know what to do, not only the why..I am thankful for the videos, I just want to make sure I am doing it totally correctly. When you say "vocal practice" do you mean just the warmups and exercises, but are you including the singing of songs also? Different things mean different things to different people.. I also play guitar, and practice is different than playing songs..
Dan I can only sing 1-2 hours... I need to be able to sing 4 hours which is the normal gig time...Can you help me to achieve this? And STOP doing that "Sound check" thing every minute or 2!
Can the same technique be used for increasing vocal practice more than an hour or hours, as I've seen some of the vocal teachers practicing for hours and hours, and they sound amazing?
If only it could be sooner I would be so glad since I have other styles to practice daily as well.
So it will get over an hour, therefore I was looking for your prompt reply!
Anyways thank you sir!
Okay for now I will practice the techniques for an hour and wait for your video :) !
I went to go purchase online lessons but only available to students over the age of 18, gutted. Ill have to get you cd while i wait till my 18th hahahah
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials is there any vocal coaches in New Zealand you would recommend?
Hey doctor Dan! Can you teach me how to do vibrato/improve vibrato. I have vibrato when I sing but it sounds weak. I always want to sing with a strong vibrato like Ariana Grande. Hihi 😆
I’m singing a song that doesn’t have a change key and first half is good but i can’t finish the song without my voice breaking
What about vocals with the occasional scream in it? I'm having issues w my voice breaking around the 40 min mark. New issue, been singing 3 hour sets for years.

Thanks Dr Dan for the reminder.
How would you approach getting your body and voice ready on the day of a gig?
So I get what he’s saying, and what he means. But can anybody let me know how I could practice? I know it’s probably just singing 20 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, but I feel like that’s not right. If I’m wrong though then tips are helpful, if anybody could also give tips on doing metal or hardcore gigs for longer then that would help a lot. Thank you!

I get sore after one hour, and I have this huge 50 inch chest, not fat at all, apparently a lot of potential with a larger chest correct? OK, I need some serious help with being able to sing longer, for full gigs.

good eye mate he is Australian
Does not doing exercises makes our voice stamina low

This is what I needed I’m playing Brooke in Legally Blonde
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Tenley Tenley. Thanks for watching.
The background song is giving bloxburg build mode 😭
Somebody help me with this:
I can sing a lot of songs that only use my mid and low register on a row without getting tired, but if I dare to attempt a song like Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin, even though I can hit the notes, my vocal stamina runs out COMPLETELY and I can't sing perfectly after that.
Does anybody know how can I fix that? I mean how can I sing more songs that require my higher register to be used without getting that vocal fatigue after?
Johnny, always remember - your voice will naturally fatigue when you are singing notes that sit outside of your sweet spot. Watch the following video to learn more - ruclips.net/video/KJtUlLo-qWA/видео.html
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials thanks for responding, Dan! I did watch the video, although I'm rather disappointed to know that I will never be able to sing more than a couple songs out of my tessitura :(
isn't the voice designed to be working 24\7?
+Dr Dan's Voice Essentials damn( that's why my throat hurts after singing, it simply gets tired cuz I talk and sing almost all day long
Damn i end up watching tips for singers because my vocal chords are fatigued after a little more intensive and a bit more noisy conversation than i am used to every time after like 7-15 minutes.
If i ever decide to start singing i guess it will be a lot of pain in my throat from the beginning if i wont know when to shut up.
There should never be any pain.
@@DrDanRobinson
No pain
Just voice getting weaker.
Maybe i dont exactly understand what fatigue of vocal chords actually mean
i thought he was gonna show us a technique
