Humming: A Gentle Wake-Up Call for Your Voice

A strong, resonant voice starts with a good morning routine! After a night of rest, our voice needs a gentle awakening—otherwise, we might end up sounding like a ghost, a monster, or just plain hoarse. 😄

Humming is a simple yet powerful tool to warm up your voice naturally. Why? Because it activates the middle tone of your voice—the most balanced and effortless range for speaking. Plus, it helps your vocal cords function smoothly and resonates through your chest and head, preparing you for the day ahead.

Try this quick and easy humming exercise:

1️⃣ Relax your body.
2️⃣ Breathe deeply into your diaphragm.
3️⃣ With your lips gently closed, start humming and sustain the sound as long as you can.
4️⃣ Take another deep breath into your diaphragm.
5️⃣ Resonate in your chest: Hum while directing the vibration downward. (TIP: Lightly tap your chest and back to feel the resonance.)
6️⃣ Breathe deeply again.
7️⃣ Resonate in your head: Hum while sending the sound upwards.
8️⃣ Another deep breath.
9️⃣ Slide through your vocal range: Make a gentle squeaking sound, moving from your highest note to your lowest.
