Part 3/7:
Engaging with Lip Trills
The second exercise involves a lip trill, often referred to as a "bubble," which requires energy and focus. An element of fun is introduced by encouraging singers to avoid smiling, as the exercise demands a serious engagement to be effective. The intensity of the trill enhances vocal strength, setting the stage for more profound vocal work.
Exploring Vocal Scales
Following the lip trill, the focus shifts to singing scales with a playful "foo" exercise. This particular warm-up is designed to feel light and freeing while allowing singers to stretch their vocal ranges. Newcomers are encouraged not to worry if they stumble at first; the exercise will become more familiar with practice.
