Whether you are a professional singer or a beginner vocal warm up exercises should form a part of your daily singing regimen. There are numerous benefits associated with warm up exercises and most singers and instructors will vouch by the efficacy of a warm up session to alleviate muscle tension and improve voice strength and quality. Ideally a warm up session should last for 20 minutes. It should be started after drinking lots of fluids to lubricate and moisturize the vocal chords.

A major benefit of vocal warm up exercises is the increase of the blood flow to the organs of articulation. A good start to a warm up session would be relaxation exercises that prepare you mentally and physically. The other procedures should include breathing exercises, pitch exercises and exercises that improve vocal strength. Over time, you will be able to develop a regimen that suits you the best.

But if you are just starting out your instructor may be able to advise you on warm up exercises specific to your level of expertise. Even though there isn't a rule to picking warm up exercises you will be more comfortable with certain exercises over the others. Warm up exercises should start at the mid-range to minimize the possibility of damage and then gradually move towards the extremes. There is certainly no shortage of online sources and books that will give you all the information that you are looking for. But if you want to develop your own personalized set of vocal warm up exercises you may want to avail the services of a voice professional.

Some of the common exercises include:

Sighing Yawning: This is a very simple exercise where you yawn normally inhaling deeply with your shoulders, jaw and tongue relaxed and then exhale with an audible sound.

The Hmmm Sound: This exercise involves starting the hmmm sound at a comfortable pitch but changing it to aahhh as you proceed.

The Straw Technique: You should start by inhaling as you yawn but purse your lips together to breathe out through the straw.

Vocal Exhalation: Start by inhaling deeply once your lungs are full expel the air with a sudden sharp contraction of the abdominal muscles, the result will be exhalation with a distinct 'huh' sound.

Vowel Sounds: A good exercise to relax the jaw and to improve pitch range is to sing various combinations of consonant and vowel sounds at different scales ranging from low to high and vice versa.

Tongue Twisters: Another way is to use common tongue twisters like 'she sells sea shells on the sea shore'. The aim while performing this exercise should be to avoid tension in the articulators (tongue, palate, lip and throat). You can then try to experiment with different pitch levels.
