Hi gang:

Every now and then people ask about warmups - as witness this thread - but just
singing some notes in not warming up, necessarily. I studied with a man named
Joe Kline years ago and learned (and now teach) a lot about support, the
physiology of the voice, how not to damage it, etc.

I would encourage all of you to find a teacher who knows the voice, and can work
with you to improve your skills. Just singing low won't help your low range
(maybe it will in a year or two, but that's a long wait, and even then if you do
it wrong, you may never increase your range).

As they say, my two cents,

Brian Beck
Bass, Eureka! 2008 Seniors Champs
Baritone, Dealers Choice
Lead, Side Street Ramblers

(OK, I admit it - I'm saying I know a little something about the voice ----- )
