If you’ve been singing less lately—whether because life got busy, you took a break, or you’ve been focused on other things—I have two videos this week for you:
For the busy woman or mom who still wants to reclaim her singing voice, this is exactly the kind of quick, effective routine that fits into your life. Let’s break down what you’ll get from this, how it ties into your existing vocal journey, and why you don’t want to wait to jump in.
Why You Need This Warm-up
Maybe you’ve noticed that your voice doesn’t feel as flexible as it once did. Maybe you skipped daily warm-ups while raising your kids, doing your job, managing home life—or maybe you simply got out of the habit of singing. Whatever the reason, your voice is like any muscle: if you don’t use it, or stretch it, it will lose some of its agility.
And for women especially—moms, busy professionals, life-filled days—finding time to practice can feel like another item in the to-do list. That’s why simple, efficient routines like the one Ingrid shows in the video are so powerful.
If you’ve read our post on Vocal Exercises for Working Moms, you’ll already know how practical it is to have warm-ups that fit around school drop-offs, lunch breaks, or kids’ nap times. This video adds the extra benefit of showing warm-ups you can do when you’re not in your full studio setup. And if you’ve visited How to Start Singing Again After a Long Break, you’ll appreciate this—because resuming singing after a pause involves both mindset and practical action. This video helps you step into action.
What You’ll Learn in the Video
Here are some of the key take-aways from the routine:
-
Quick posture and breath preparation — Even 1-2 minutes of alignment and easy breathing can make your voice feel more free.
-
Mini vocal warm-ups you can do anywhere — No full piano-studio setup required. Whether you’re in your car, kitchen, or waiting room, these are accessible.
-
Confidence-boosting mindset shift — Recognizing that warming up doesn’t have to be perfect, but it does have to happen.
-
Public-friendly options — For those moments when you’re around others and still want to prep your voice without feeling self-conscious (key for busy women on the go).
What makes this so relevant: it aligns with the idea of “ease + consistency” from our working-moms article, and echoes the idea of “restarting” from the break-and-resume article. You’re not going for hours; you’re going for smart, focused.
How to Integrate This Into Your Vocal Routine
Here’s a simple plan to make this video’s warm-up work for you:
-
Pick your moment – It could be right after you drop the kids off, before your TikTok live, or as a quick midday break.
-
Watch the video through once so you’re acquainted with the flow.
-
Do the warm-up in real-time, following along with Ingrid.
-
Repeat for 2 minutes on your own – just pick one of the mini-exercises you liked.
-
Record a short note in your warm-up tracker (we’ll talk about that in a second).
-
Use your voice within 30 minutes (sing a line, speak up for a live session, teach a mini-lesson) to keep the momentum going.
This is a direct extension of what we talked about in the “Vocal Exercises for Working Moms” post—making it easy to maintain your vocal practice even when life is full. And if you’re getting back into singing after a longer break, it offers a safe, doable reopening of your voice (as discussed in “How to Start Singing Again After a Long Break”).
Why This Matters for Your Singing Goals
Whether your goal is to:
-
sing at your daughter’s wedding,
-
audition for a community theatre production,
-
teach a live voice session,
-
or simply feel you again when you pick up the mic—
This warm-up becomes the foundational step. When your voice is warmed and alert, everything else is stronger: your range, your tone, your stamina, your emotional connection.
For busy women who’ve put their singing on the back burner, this is the bridge between “I wish I could sing” and “I am singing”. This video helps you cross that bridge—and doing it in a way that honors your full life.
