Great speakers don’t leave their voice to chance. They warm up — every time.

A warmup isn’t about being theatrical. It’s about preparing three systems:

• Breath (airflow)
• Resonance (tone)
• Articulation (clarity)

This routine takes 2–4 minutes and prepares your voice for presentations, keynotes, video shoots, sales calls, or any high-stakes speaking.

1. Breath Activation (20–30 seconds)

Start with the foundation: airflow.

1. Exhale fully
2. Low inhale for four seconds
3. Pause one second
4. Release slowly

This stabilizes your tone and prevents early fatigue.

2. Jaw Release (10 seconds)

Tight jaw = tight voice.

• Drop the jaw naturally
• Loosen the tongue
• Let your mouth hang comfortably

Your voice opens instantly.

3. Forward Resonance “Mmm” (10–15 seconds)

This is the quickest resonance activator in the world.

Hum a gentle “mmm” while feeling the buzz:

• in your lips
• in your nose
• across the front of your face

This creates clarity and brightness.

4. The Lip Release (5–10 seconds)

Blow air through your lips lightly:

• “brrrr” sound

This resets tongue tension and frees airflow.

5. Articulation Drill (10 seconds)

Activate clarity with a quick consonant pattern:

• “Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa”
• “Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta”

This sharpens your sound without strain.

6. Phrase Warmup (10 seconds)

Speak one slow, clear line with forward placement:

“This is the sound I’m using today.”

This locks your voice into the right position.
