Physical Warm up Prep for singing- video (Alison Harris Music)

One of my students requested this physical warm up in video form, so I thought I'd share with all of you.  This is just a quick check in and physical prep you can do before you sing.  One of my teachers explained the vocal warm up practice as a way to send enzymes to the parts of your body you work with when you sing.  I start with a little shifting, walking, or stepping in place to activate the pelvic floor, which stays turned on and engaged to support the diaphragmatic muscles while singing.  Then I move to shoulder rolls to relax the shoulders, but more importantly to open the ribcage which houses the lungs.  Half circles of the neck relaxes the throat and frees the vocal chords, and a little tapping of the cheekbones and third eye, or center of the forehead,  prepares for tonal focus and resonance.
