Members Howie22 Posted September 16, 2008 Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 How far in advance of singing is acceptable/best to do your warmup routine? How far in advance of singing would a warmup be considered ineffective (ie. - warming up too early)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members light_without_heat Posted September 16, 2008 Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 I used to fret about warming up right before a gig and tried to go out in my car and run some scales or whatever whilst in the midst of setting up and all that nonsense. It never really worked out that well... Then I read that if you warm up several hours before the gig you're still "warm" and some light humming and whatnot will get you in shape right before the gig. Perhaps someone with a more educated view can come in and shed some light... (Al?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My warmups are during my morning shower (moist air FTW ), and I'm good for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought you needed to warm up right before singing, but some equipment issue or other last minute setup problem always kept me from getting an adequate warmup.
