Warm up's

Good posture; to reach high notes and to reach the full capacity of your voice its good to keep a straight posture. Having a good air flow is the best way you can control your breathing therefore making the best sound.

Taking a deep breath; If you are tense at all while breathing, it will resound in the muscles of your vocal folds. You need to breathe normally, but keep your shoulders low and your chest relaxed. Concentrate on breathing lower staying loose throughout your core .A good technique is to place a hand on your stomach to remind yourself that the diaphragm is the muscle that will be giving you the best sound. Hold an "s" sound (like a hiss) when you exhale to control the amount of air that you can exhale.

The Jaw;It's important to release your jaw. Any tension at all will keep you from your best sound. A good way to warm up is by massaging your checks with the heel of each hand. Push in and down right below your cheekbone and rotate in a clockwise motion. Your jaw should open without you even thinking about it and be forced to relax.

Tongue exercises; To Work on lip and tongue trills is another important exercise. Another common method to warming up apart from scales are trills. They relax the lip and tongue, engage breathing, and eliminate tension. For lip trills, you should create a raspberry sound by loosely placing your lips together. Try with different consonant sounds, like "h" and "b." Go slowly up and down your range.
