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
