Warmups

The classic warmup

Sing five ascending notes — do, re, mi, fa, sol. Loosens the lower register and centers your placement.

Wake up your top

Hit the root, then jump cleanly to the octave above. Trains the vocal cord coordination needed for big intervals.

Pitch accuracy drill

Root → fifth → root. The most common interval in pop melodies; nailing it is muscle memory worth building.

Major chord, sung

Root, third, fifth, octave — and back down. The shape of every major chord, in your voice.

Smooth out your bridge

Slide an octave up, then back down. Smooths the passaggio — the spot where your chest voice flips to head voice.
