Vocal warm-ups to sing along with

Pick one, choose your voice and press Start. Each warm-up plays its notes for you, climbs a half step each round and comes back down. Free, with no account and nothing to install.

A warm-up in a few minutes

Start with the gentlest: lip trills or the humming scale. Then sing the "oo" scale, and finish with do mi so, which jumps between notes instead of stepping. Once through each takes a few minutes in all.

A warm-up is not a workout. Sing at a medium volume in the middle of your voice, and stop if anything tightens, scratches or hurts.

Set to your voice

Low, Medium and High set where each warm-up starts and how far it goes. If you have taken the vocal range test on this device, Your range appears too, and every note stays inside the range you sang.

Questions

Why warm up before singing?

A warm-up gets your breath, your voice and your ear working together before you ask them for a song. Gentle exercises like lip trills and humming ease the voice in, and short scales get you landing notes cleanly.

How long should a vocal warm-up be?

For most singing, five to ten minutes is plenty. Start gently and low in effort, move to wider patterns, and stop well before your voice feels tired.

Do I need a microphone or headphones?

No. The warm-ups play notes for you to sing with and nothing listens, so no microphone opens and a phone speaker is fine.

What if the notes are too high or too low?

Pick a lower or higher voice, or under More choose how far it climbs. Each round moves a half step, so you can stop at any point and start again from the bottom.
