I often get asked how I warm up I guess

0:04

a standard one which you heard me do

0:05

earlier was the which is kind of the

0:11

blue of the lip trill that’s what it’s

0:12

called it just gives you a very neutral

0:15

sound to be going up and down your range

0:17

with it’s stress-free it keeps your

0:20

voice balanced so that’s something that

0:21

I always start off with and my warmup

0:26

[Music]

0:30

if I want to get a bit more of a low-end

0:33

I would do like I keep going down as

0:41

much as I can and then I do other things

0:44

to blend my registers a bit better to

0:48

strengthen my head voice a bit more

0:49

there’s all kinds of things you can do

0:52

the voice is such an incredibly crazy

0:57

instrument that a lot of people don’t

0:59

really understand or understand what

1:01

goes behind singing whether it’s time of

1:05

day whether it’s like how much sleep

1:07

you’ve had or if you’ve been talking a

1:10

lot before I shoot all of these things

1:12

really play into how your performance is

1:13

going to be and as well the kind of

1:17

flexibility that a voice can have the

1:21

kind of runs that people can do all of

1:23

these things are kept together obviously

1:25

by like other things related to vocal

1:28

health like hydration and things like

1:30

that but a lot of the time if you just

1:32

don’t warm up properly or if you’re not

1:33

doing the right exercises then you’re

1:36

not going to be able to get the results

1:37

that you want it’ll really depend on

1:38

what kind of music you’re doing but

1:40

overall if you do exercises that kind of

1:43

take over all of your range so that you

1:46

know that you’ve warmed it up and you

1:48

have access to all these notes all of

1:50

these registers then you’re a lot better

1:53

off going into singing kind of

1:55

performance

1:56

I’d say also make sure to be using your

1:59

diaphragm a lot that’s something I

2:00

recently realized is very important if

2:04

you’re not activating your diaphragm as

2:05

much then you’re not going to be able to

2:08

get through longer phrases or produce

2:12

like a loud kind of sound for a long

2:16

duration and you could also cause a lot

2:19

of stress on your vocal cords if you’re

2:22

just singing from your throat so that’s

2:25

unhealthy singing technique which is why

2:27

the diaphragm like plays a really

2:28

important part I’m excited to be able to

2:32

release and kind of share with people

2:35

the kind of Indian and Western blending

2:38

that I’m doing I think that it is unique

2:41

at least my ideas I think are unique and

2:44

I’m excited to be able to actually

2:47

create something with it and show people

2:50

and I’m kind of curious actually to

2:53

think what people are gonna think like

2:54

are they gonna be on the same page as me

2:56

like what I’m trying to do like is that

2:58

what’s gonna come across you know you

2:59

never really know until it’s out there

3:01

in a jazz context or like an RB context

3:04

you you hit the notes pretty directly if

3:07

you want to do like I don’t know if I

3:09

was singing my my my I’d be like mama my

3:13

I die every night with you all these

3:16

notes are like pretty you know

3:18

specifically hit Dianna they’re very

3:24

clear but with when you’re soloing in an

3:28

Indian context you don’t really hit the

3:30

notes directly and there are different

3:32

ways of approaching different notes

3:36

based on what raga you’re even in in the

3:39

Western world if you’re doing like Dory

3:40

my facility doe it’s basically the

3:43

syllables that you’re assigning to each

3:45

note in a scale and in my culture in

3:49

Indian music we have sighting I’m a bath

3:51

Anissa which is the exact same thing

3:53

it’s just different syllables Indian

3:55

music if I were to sing the scale I’d

3:57

say static I’m about the nisab but if I

4:01

were to sing Sai days that II got a

4:03

sunny day so I wouldn’t sing them that

4:07

directly it would be like Sade Sade got

4:12

it it is uh so yeah like there’s really

4:16

cool differences based on the raw guys

4:18

that you’re singing in the notes that

4:19

you got a hit but it’s a cool thing to

4:21

study I hope you guys enjoyed thank you
