Singing warmup - biological clock and the show

Klaus_T

I have a show coming up in around ten days, planning to adjust my warmup time so it aligns with the show. Ken says to warm up a full hour before the show, and to warm up at the time as the performance will be, at least in the week before the show. my question: if, say, the show starts 8pm, I would obviously start warming up on the night at 7, but do I start doing the warmups the week before at 7, or at 8? does it even make a difference? would like to hear peoples' thoughts/experiences.

@highmtn , @Furious_Phil would be nice if you pitched in

You have to do what you have to do. If you are unable to adjust your practice times before the gig, you will still do fine. If you are able to do the warmups at 7 in the days leading up to your gig, then that would be ideal. If life is not ideal, you can still have a great gig.

@highmtn , cool thank you!

Yeah, what Bob said, ideally.
Oh, and break a leg!!!

@Furious_Phil , thank you! if we go down now, I know it won't be because of a lack of warmup
