1 Why warm up?

Warming up your voice and body is not only beneficial for your performance, but also for your health and well-being. It can prevent vocal strain, fatigue, and damage, as well as muscle stiffness, pain, and injury. It can also reduce stress, anxiety, and nervousness, and increase your focus, concentration, and creativity. Warming up your voice and body can help you prepare mentally, emotionally, and physically for your presentation.

2 How to warm up your voice?

Your voice is a powerful tool for communication, persuasion, and influence. To warm up your voice, you need to activate and relax the muscles involved in breathing, phonation, resonance, and articulation. To do this, you can start by taking deep breaths from your diaphragm. Then, hum softly and gently in an ascending and descending pitch. You can also make lip trills, tongue trills, or rolled Rs to loosen up your lips, tongue, and jaw. Finally, try saying some tongue twisters to practice your articulation, pronunciation, and enunciation. Doing these exercises will help you control your breath and support your voice while creating a smooth and even tone.

3 How to warm up your body?

Your body plays an important role in your presentation, as it conveys your attitude, emotions, and messages. To warm up your body, you should stretch and move the muscles involved in posture, gestures, and facial expressions. For example, stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms relaxed. Align your head, neck, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles to improve posture and balance. Roll your shoulders forward and backward then lift them up and down to release tension in your shoulders and neck. Rotate your head slowly from side to side then nod it up and down to relax and mobilize your head and neck. Make some facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, raising your eyebrows, opening your eyes wide or sticking out your tongue to warm up your facial muscles and show more expression.

Take a posture pause every hour! Your posture and body language speak volumes. When you see someone standing with their shoulders back and down, chest lifted, do they look confident and self-assured? Is their posture a reflection of how they feel, or is their posture influencing how they feel? Here’s your sitting posture check: ● Sit up straight, away from the back of the chair ● Lengthen your spine, move your shoulders back and down ● Bring your chin in ● Place both hands behind your head, lifting and lengthening your spine and opening your elbows wide, ● Hold this wide elbow position for 7–8 seconds, then relax back in the chair ● Repeat every hour, gradually you’ll start sitting with better posture and stop slumping at your desk.

4 How long to warm up?

There is no fixed rule on how long you should warm up your voice and body before a presentation. It depends on your personal preference, your level of experience, and the type of presentation you are giving. However, a general guideline is to warm up for at least 10 to 15 minutes before your presentation. This will give you enough time to activate and relax your voice and body, without overdoing it or exhausting yourself.

In addition to formal exercises to promote body and vocal warm up before presentations, I also practice mental exercises too. Be careful how much you rehearse the speech/presentation itself, as it might sound over rehearsed. Instead, while I’m indulging in my getting ready routine (makeup, music, protein shake, hydration, etc), I rehearse all the unexpected scaries that might occur. Think about being interrupted, losing your slides, having a tech malfunction, or even just a brutal Q&A from an intense audience. Then I play it out and respond to it aloud with how I’m going to handle it. After that, jitters usually calm and your mind is ready to go!!!
