Tip From A Singing Teacher.

Jane must have read my log.

She has sympathy for my heartbreak and my embarrassment. She has so graciously given me a short tip about getting my singing voice.

First thing that I need to do is to "warm up."

Just like any sports that you put your body into, you need to "warm up" before you sing. Like in golf, you don't want to pull your back without the "warm up." And in singing, you don't want to pull your vocal cords.

I know how to stretch and warm up to my golf game. But how do you warm up the vocal cords?

She says there are a series of exercises that involves the mouth and throat. (Not that kind of porn exercise.) Very simply and cleanly, Jane says, "you talk ! "

"Try to talk not in your usual manner. Yell a bit, scream a bit, whisper a bit, whimper a bit. And most important, sip water, to moist the cords."

Sounds simple enough.

I shall try to TALK LOUD and whisper softly to warm up, the next time I visit a karaoke pub. (Pub, as in more for the beer than the singing.)
