I get asked this question a LOT!
And it needs to be answered in 2 parts.
The question is: “How Long Should I Warm Up My Voice Before Singing?”
The question isn’t: “How Long Should I Warm Up My Voice?”
BIG DIFFERENCE and here’s why:
When we warm up for singing, we are getting ready for “the main event.” – Singing.
AND
Depending on what we are singing, we may warm up differently.
Let me give you an example:
If I know I will be singing something really high, I will warm up in that range.
If I know I will be singing something low, I will warm up in that range.
If you know what you are doing, and know how to warm up correctly, I typically will take about 1 hour (or so) to warm up for singing… No matter how long I will be singing.
I oftentimes will sing for hours. BUT YOU MUST WORK UP TO THIS OR YOU WILL HURT YOURSELF.
In addition:
There are a lot of coaches espousing that you should only “work out”
or warm for for no more that 30 minutes.
THIS IS ABSURD.
Think about this guys.
Your voice is a group of muscles. And like any group of muscles in your body, responds as such.
If I am a soccer player, would I only train for 30 minutes to play a
90 minute game? OF COURSE NOT! How then could I possibly build up the stamina to sustain a 90 minute game? This is hogwash! In fact it is the opposite!!!!
We train even more (safely) so we can sustain a 90 minute game “game shape.” (meaning: adrenaline is high, the stakes are high, our output performance will be much more intense than our luxury workouts. Often times I will train for hours daily 5-6 days per week to get ready for a tour etc..)
I cover all of this thoroughly in my singing course “How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else” for anyone interested.

““It’s awesome. The private sections of the forum are worth the price of admission alone. I struggled with 2 different tertiary (university Level) level teachers (6 months each about 8 years ago) telling me my voice just wouldn’t be able to do what i wanted to be able to do and even if it could, the material i wanted to be able to sing would be too ‘Dangerous.’ Absolute rubbish. If you do the work thats laid out in this course, you are golden, I started in March Last year struggling to hit the E4 note in ‘Under the Bridge’ chorus now I can sing this stuff:
