Singing is a whole body experience, so it is important to relieve physical stress and start in the right way with a few relaxation exercises before singing. Follow our 5 step singing warm-up routine below:

1. Neck Stretch

Look as far left as you can, then right. Repeat facing your chin downwards and upwards.

2. Shoulder Roll

Rotate your shoulders forwards, and then backwards. Then squeeze them upwards, and release.
