According to Johnson, “It’s important that singers or people learning how to sing know the basics of vocal production. It can make all the difference in a successful performance. A good vocal warm up not only can help you sing better but will keep your voice healthy and in shape throughout the years.” Ellen decided to do these free instructional videos because she felt it was important that the exercises were being done properly. “I wanted to make sure that people understood the concepts of warming up the voice and YouTube was the perfect way to get the word out! There is an instructional booklet that goes with the download and cd version but unfortunately I couldn’t get iTunes to include it, so I offer a pdf to anyone who purchases a download.”

The Vocal Warm Up and other vocal products are available at http://www.vocalvisions.net or as either a download or cd through CDBaby.com, iTunes and JazzBooks.com.
