history of singing
https://www2.lawrence.edu/fast/KOOPMAJO/brief.html
'Change, in the history of Western solo vocal performance, has arisen from a variety of unlikely causes. Far from actively guiding the evolution of their art, most composers and singers have been content to simply respond to the challenges and opportunities presented by ever changing circumstance. Thus a conventional approach to the subject, surveying the music written for solo voice, would show the effect rather than the cause of the changes. Hopefully the approach taken here, primarily tracing the development of opera, will be more informative. For as Paul Bekker pointed out in his book, The Changing Opera, "...the singing voice is the root from which the opera has sprouted and grown...the form of the opera arises from the voice; it becomes physically perceptible in such shape as is dictated by the development of the voice...the history of opera becomes the history of the voice."'

'Warm Up #1Breath Relaxation: Releases tension often associated in the breathing mechanism that can interfere with effective voice production. Ordinarily, if there is tension when breathing, that tension radiates to the voice box muscles. Take a normal breath and then exhale. Make sure your shoulders and chest are low and relaxed. Repeat many times making sure that your breaths are focused low in the abdomen and that there is not associated chest, neck, or shoulder tension while breathing. You can place one hand on your abdomen to remind you to keep the focus low and away from the chest and shoulders. Hold an “s” sound like in hiss when you exhale.
Warm Up #2
Jaw Release: Reduces tension in the mouth and jaw area during speaking and singing. Place the heels of each hand directly below the cheek bone. Pushing in and down from the cheeks to the jaw, massage the facial muscles. Allow your jaw to passively open as you move the hands down the face. Repeat several times.

Warm Up #3
Lip Trills: Release lip tension and connects breathing and speaking. Releases tension in the vocal folds. Place your lips loosely together release the air in a steady stream to create a trill or raspberry sound. First try it on an “h” sounds. Then repeat on a “b” sound. Hold the sound steady and keep the air moving past the lips. Next try to repeat the b-trill gliding gently up and down the scales. Don’t push beyond what it comfortable at the top or bottom of the scale.'

'A short vocal warm up improves the quality of the sounds you make and helps prevent vocal injury, keeping you in good voice and making your voice production feel better. Many people use warm ups everyday. You should use vocal warm ups before vocally intensive activities like public speaking or singing, classroom teaching, or exuberant social events.'

Don’t push the top or bottom of your range but do try to increase the range gently each time you do the scales. Now reverse and glide down the scale from the top to the bottom on an “e” sound. You can try this on the “oo” sound also.

Hold the sound steady for 2-3 attempts. Now use the woo sound to go up and down the scales.

how to warm up what do you need
'Step 1: Discipline your voice Discipline yourself with a good diet and regular exercise. The poor blood flow from self-abuse can compromise vocal quality. Step 2: Relax the body Relax your whole body and do a series of breathing exercises, slowly, to exercise your diaphragm. Step 3: Warm up incrementally Warm up incrementally, never forcing your voice. Thicker and deeper voices will take longer to prepare. Tip Trying too hard, going too fast, or attempting to vocalize too soon can do great damage. Be patient and cautious. Step 4: Drink water Drink lots of room temperature water throughout the day. Give your body time to absorb the water before working your voice. Step 5: Do scales Do your scales, starting from middle C and going low, and then high. Be comfortable and don’t push it. If it hurts, stop. Step 6: Build the voice Build volume, speed, and range as you go. Vocalize a siren sound, using "Ee" as you move up and down your range, and repeat until you feel limber. Step 7: Work and shape the mouth Over-enunciate different sounds and phrases to work out your mouth, tongue, and face. Open your mouth for vowels, and make consonants crisp. Tip Singing is done with vowels. Consonants are pitch-less. Step 8: Avoid using the voice Avoid using your voice throughout the day you have to sing. Don’t raise your voice or whisper, which can also fatigue your voice'.
