In addition to the warm up, the singer should drink lots of still water before and also during the session.

GET THE SINGER TO DRINK LOTS OF STILL WATER It’s basically like sports – no professional athlete would ever skip preparation and warm up! My favorite vocal warm up is by Stevie Lange – on her website you can find female and male versions.Ģ. A good warm up has a slow build, and consists of a big variety of notes, expressions and phrases. Trust me, it’s worth it and will save you hours in vocal recording.

The warm up should take at least 30 minutes, a full hour is even better. Just do a search on YouTube for “vocal warm up” and you’ll find lots of options.

There are some great vocal warm-up programs out there. I know this is not directly related to mixing, but a great vocal performance and recording is the best foundation for a quality vocal in the mix – so if you’re in charge of vocal production, here are some ideas for you. Getting this right can save you a lot of work in the mix!
