First thing in the morning is a BAD time to do vocal exercises, but if you must, do the "siren" - simply hum in increasing and decreasing pitch - just like the way a siren sounds.
Reply:i always do a shot of peppermint schnapps to warm me up. it works very well, and tastes great.
Reply:Try to lift up your soft pallet and project your sound as loud as you can also, make sure that you are loose and not tired as this effects your singing as well.
Reply:When you wake up after a good night's rest, your body has been in a type of stasis as things relax, your body repairs, etc. It is completely normal to have difficulties singing in the morning.





Your muscles don't get much use when you sleep and your breathing becomes shallow and slow. You need to warm up your muscles. This includes all of your muscles. The diaphragm, the tongue, the intercostals, etc. (Breathe deeply, open your mouth wide, stick out your tongue, move your head in circles, turn your head left and right, smile wide, etc.)





You don't consiously blow your nose, sniff, swallow, or clear your throat when you sleep. You need to get the phlegm (if any) off of the chords. (Try to clear your voice GENTLY, drink some body temperature water, do some simple warm-ups, etc.) This is also true for phlegm in the sinuses. Some people need to blow their noses in the morning. Dust mite allergies from sheets, mattresses, pillows and other bed linens can make morning phlegm absolutely terrible.





When you sleep, your soft palate tends to relax and drop (this is why a lot of people snore). You need to stretch out the soft palate (yawn, hum, sirens, speaking, open mouth wide, flatten the tongue).





You usually don't sing or talk when you sleep. Your vocal chords aren't being used so they tend to contract a bit. Simple warm-ups, even speaking in an appropriate pitch, can warm up the vocal chords easily.





If you find that it's taking up to 10 hours to warm up, you might want to check with a doctor to see if you have allergies. It can cause swelling in addition to the phlegm problem.





If you don't have allergies and it still takes 10 hours until you can sing the way you want to sing, take a good look at what you're doing during those 10 hours. You probably aren't using your voice, muscles, etc. enough to properly warm up. No biggie. Some people loosen up quickly and others don't. The important thing is to know which type you are and plan accordingly.
Reply:Do NOT try to sing as loudly as you can early in the morning! The muscles used to sing have been out of use for several hours and are not loose/warm enough to perform at their best. A runner wouldn't hop out of bed and sprint a 400m... he'd tear a muscle!





Warm up slowly, maybe after you've had a cup of decaf tea (caffeine dehydrates you, and your vocal chords need all the moisture they can get!). Then do your lip rolls, the humming siren, a siren on an open, neutral syllable ("ah"), then a humming siren while you do a lip roll. Yawn a lot, it will get your soft pallate stretching up. I usually then lightly sing through a mid-range piece, then a lower piece, then whatever piece I'm actually going to work on.





It should not take ten hours for your voice to perform as normal, but I would say 1.5 to 2 hours is pretty normal.
