Abstract
In the past, vocal warm-ups have been little more than a few scales and arpeggios on a few selected vowels, whether for choir or for solo singing. In recent years, however, a greater understanding of the mechanism of the human voice, combined with a greater understanding of exercise physiology, has led to entire systems of carefully designed sequences of exercises. Specific muscles are targeted, even specific portions of the vocal fold. Of principal interest is the way in which the vocal tract is engaged, and ultimately disengaged, in providing acoustic loads for the vocal oscillator. A system of warm-up exercises will be presented here that have become the backbone of vocology, the science and practice of voice habilitation.
