Thread Name: What vocal exercises before singing?
Subject: RE: What vocal exercises before singing?
The Lightfoot song works well--that's great. Is the rest of your material mainly Dylan or Dylan-like songs? That may not be that easy on the voice. Maybe you want to bring in more melodious songs--like the Lightfoot--and less Dylan-like stuff.
Also, is it possible there is something in your venue which is not good for the voice--like smoke--or something else?
One more thing. My voice has sunk--now I can be a second bass--which is great. I can hit low E's and D's--and even below that--for the first time ever. And I've kept the higher notes (through a strong falsetto--thanks to the Beach Boys.) If you're still doing the same songs you've done for decades--in the same keys--maybe your voice has also sunk. So all you'd have to do is change the key you do some songs in and you'll be fine.
