Description:
This agility routine will help you move your voice faster, with greater ease and clarity. We’ll begin with a warmup and then move through narrow range patterns and wide range patterns, ending with leaps. This routine is not genre-specific, and it’s designed to improve your agility whether you’re training for classical melismas or pop and R&B-style riffs.
The range should be comfortable for higher voices, meaning sopranos, mezzos or altos. We won’t go extremely low or high, but you do need the ability to move through your different vocal registers with relative ease. Because this is a practice routine, there will be minimal explanation and lots of singing. See you in the warmup!
