specific and urgent need for choristers and choral
directors. Because of the limited amount of time
available in a choir practice and the considerable amount of repertoire that must be covered, little or no time is spent on the preparation of the singers' voices.

Vocal-EASE®
by Crane
"is one of the best tools we have ever used as a vocal group."
The track above is a clip from the Demonstration track, wherein a student follows an excerpt of the warm-up sequence. The complete demonstration track gives you an idea of how to respond to the guide cues from the instructor when you use track 3 or 4 during your own voice warm-up exercises.
The Vocal-EASE®CD or MP3 DOWNLOAD consists of 4 tracks:
Introduction (also provided as text in the package)
Demonstration (student demonstrates how track 3 & 4 are used)
Warm-up for high voices (actual guided exercise track)
Warm-up for low voices (actual guided exercise track)
Vocal-EASE® is a unique product. There are numerous products on the market providing vocal exercises or vocal warm-ups. These are, for the most part aimed at choral directors and are meant to be used at the beginning of the choral practice. Others are aimed at the individual singer and appear to be geared to voice development. Vocal-EASE® is specifically designed for the individual singer to warm her/his own singing voice before attending a rehearsal, or singing in a choral concert.
Vocal-EASE® provides a guided warm-up for the voice. Although an overview of the appropriate singing technique is covered in the introduction, the real power of the process lies in the constant reminders of technical issues during the exercises themselves.
Before each repetition of an exercise, a reminder is given of one aspect of the technique. In this way, little effort is required on the part of the student/singer to internalize technical issues.
Taking time to Warm up your Voice!
Singers who take a little time to warm their voices prior to going to practice invariably experience greater ease in singing, less fatigue and more enjoyment of the whole choral experience. Directors whose singers use the Vocal-EASE® warm-up report improved singing tone and better choral blends.
