Jeffrey Jacobi's warm-ups seem effective

So, I've been performing some of the warm-up exercises I wrote about just before my voice sessions, and I have to say I do think they've had an impact. I've never felt that my voice was particularly resonant, but have been surprised and pleased to feel it happening during my recent sessions. I haven't dabbled to much in the speech-corrective exercises but usually am watching and trying to practice articulation on my own any way.

I know there's debate about the "value" of warm-exercises, and at this time I'd have to say "yes" to the whole idea. One note though, do them on your way to a session. You want to walk in prepared, not to prepare. So, if you're going to do them, give your radio and/or iPod a break and use your drive time to your advantage.

Happy Spring!
