Another fast warm-up tip: HUM. You can’t damage your voice humming, and it gets the resonances going. Concentrate on getting the vibration ‘tickle’ going on your lips and the tip of your nose. Hum a favorite song — do pick one with fun lyrics to sing along in your head! Humming can also help expand your vocal range. Slide up and down, higher in pitch, and lower. Experiment with the extremes–that’s how to discover new abilities.

Another great tip. Thank you Cris!
You are so right. I was having some vocal issues last year and a speech therapist helped me out quite a bit. The humming tip was first in the list. 🙂 Thank you for a great reminder.
