Voice Tips

What’s your go-to preparation system?

I’ve given quite a lot of presentations over the years to different industries, audiences and group sizes,  but no matter where I am presenting, I always go through the same warm-up  routine.

I like the familiarity of it, so if I’m feeling a bit nervous, then it provides a ‘home’ for me before I stand up in front of people.

Here’s what I always do:

1. Arm and shoulder rotation – it relaxes my neck which is where I hold my tension.
2. Grounding – I close my eyes, rock slowly back and forwards and find my centre – this ensures my posture is good.
3. Lip trills, going up and down the scales – this warms up my lips.
4. Deep breathing, hold and release – this fills my lungs and engages my diaphragm.

It only takes 5 minutes max but these 4 warm-ups get me in the zone every time.
