Best time to warm-up

Warm up in the morning the day of a performance, and brush the dust off again half and hour before you perform.

Work on your [i] [ɛ] and [ae] in the middle, the e octave encompassing middle c for men, and an octave up for women. Very bright with zero abdominal action or support, mp initially to mf. Start on the lower notes and be sure and keep the core or buzz in the sound.

Singers who wait to warm up just before a performance put themselves at a dis-advantage for achieving the best and most efficient resonance which usually ends up with one's over- compensating physically, and bringing on unnecessary fatigue and premature vocal exhaustion. You don't want that happening on the big night.
