Is there any singers here?? - i need advice and tips

[mcleodstickle]

ok, im looking for singers that sing in choirs etc,

Im doing singing as my second instrument for my standard grade music. And i cant get singing lessons through the school, because im already getting two others ( which is really bad cos singing lessons outta school are really really expensive)

anway back to the point, because i cant get a singing teacher i dont know how to warm up my vioce or what excersises to use or anyhitng.

And i thot since there is such a large number of varied ppl here, somone might be able to help.

Cheers!

warm ups and stuff...

Easy. Just sing scales, ascending and descending, a semitone higher each time for about five minutes. If you haven't warmed up by then, do some arpeggios, broken chords, exercises etc etc...
