Articulatory Warmup

Never start mechanical drills cold. Prepare the musculature to prevent tension and improve isolation.

  1. Jaw Release (1 min)

    Massage the masseter muscles. Let the jaw drop open with gravity. Do not force it open.

  2. Lip Trills (1 min)

    Blow air gently through loose lips to create a "brrr" sound. Slide up and down your vocal pitch range.

  3. Tongue Stretch (1 min)

    Point the tongue as far out as possible, then try to touch your nose, then your chin.
