Once we've gone through this process, I'll move on to the specific song we're working on for the purpose of performing or recording. For voice students, I take everyone through the process of warming up by using the three parts of vocal production: Breathing, Phonation, Resonance (or Tone). I always guide every voice student through each part by using specific exercises to understand the feeling of building their voice step by step. Read More
