Before any singing performance, a female vocalist must first do a series of vocal warm ups. It applies the same principles as stretching before a physical exercise. A singer must also do a series of vocal stretches before belting out. This will help prevent trauma on her vocal apparatus and prevent further damage. One best way for a female vocalist to warm up is to trill her lips and tongue. Do this like you are rolling your "r's" in climbing and descending pitches. This exercise helps to loosen the tongue and lips, as well as the jaw and throat. It also makes the vocal folds vibrate only at their edges. This warm up is easier to do for most singers.

Another important habit that IMMI a female vocalist must develop is to get enough sleep at a regular time. Insufficient rest is not good for singers as it will drain them of energy needed to perform. It is also an irritant to singers and its effect will show in her voice. Lack of sleep results in voice fatigue, lost of voice control and poor tone. That is why some singers who are overly stressed shows signs of raspiness in their voice and diminished range. Being overly tired can make a singer loose her concentration while performing and this could lead to strains and injury.
