I sang competitively in high school, so I need something with a bigger voice to keep my vocal cords working. Yes, I sang solo too. So, I tend to sing songs with lots of range and changes in tempo, plus big notes with long holds. One of my favorite warm ups is the opening to the Evenescence song "Call Me When You're Sober" though. If I keep my vocal cords in shape, I can hit every note and the long hold at the end. I have a friend who is a piano and vocals teacher, who used to sing on Broadway 20 years ago. She sometimes gives me little things to work on also. My senior year of high school, I sang a song called"Lord, Send Me Anywhere" as my solo for state competition. I came in 4th. The girl who came in 3rd sang the same song, and was a former student of my teacher's. OMG is that song hard!
