Depending on how much you have to sing, it could take you an hour to get your voice to its peak before a performance. If you don't warm up, the audience won't really get to see what you're made of. Here are warm-ups you should try:
-Octave Jumps
You should work on your intonation and connecting with your breath, and this warm-up does that. Keep your notes short and detached, start from one of the lowest notes in your vocal range, and then quickly switch between that note and the same note an octave above three times. Because you're keeping your notes short, your pitch accuracy may falter, so just concentrate on hitting both notes straight on each time. But don’t fall flat on the top note or sing sharp on the bottom note. Try to avoid that if possible.
-Elevator Slides
These help work through your vocal registers and smooth out any breaks. To do an elevator slide, make a noise similar to a long, slow siren. Start by using an "ah" sound and slowly descend from high to low and back up. Be sure to keep your throat relaxed and don't let your notes catch in your throat as you sing higher. This can easily happen if you don't move the resonance up into your head voice. Speed the exercise up as your voice gets warmer, and switch the "ah" sound to an "ee" and then an "ooh" sound that'll work a slightly different vocal placement each time.
