Does anyone know any really good singing warm ups?

Please!!! does anyone know any vocal warm ups before singing?

• I need something that'll make my voice clear and any tips on how to be in perfect pitch. My voice lacks energy sometimes meaning my voice goes flat, do you have any breathing exercises to correct that. I'm going to my music teacher tomorrow to get some more tips and hopefully get in his class but i want to sound the best i can be. I'm a 14 year old guy btw

  Here's a video of classic vocal warm-ups: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqVzi36AlNA Here are some tips about singing in pitch: Listen to lots of recorded or live music, especially classical music. This may not be your favorite genre, but classical music, Mozart in particular, has very clear and logical harmonies. The first step in learning to sing on pitch is learning to hear pitch. Pitch is easiest to hear surrounded by sweet harmonies. Get yourself an instrument, preferably an acoustic guitar or piano. Stand quietly and try to feel the vibration in your ear and in your body. Getting accustomed to feeling the pitch will help you hear the pitch. Play a note or even better a chord on your instrument. Playing a chord with the note you want to sing will help your ear hear the note better. Remember to also try to feel the vibrations of the chord. Now, sing the pitch, keeping the harmonies of the chord and feeling the pitch in mind. Have someone else listen to you or record yourself. Were you on pitch? Do you need to aim the pitch a little higher or a little lower? Adjust the pitch and try again. Once you are on target, try to repeat it. Practice, practice, practice. Repeat this exercise every day for 5 to 10 minutes. But remember, Rome wasn't build in a day. Be patient with yourself and give yourself at least two weeks of practicing before you decide whether you are tone-deaf or not. The easiest way to find out how you should breathe for singing is simply by feeling it. Being able to visualize and feel the proper way to breathe helps make the process more natural for you, too. Inhalation refers to air moving into your body — breathing in. Exhalation is when you exhale or blow out the air. You exhale when you speak or sing. Inhaling to sing Singing songs requires getting a full breath quickly — a quick inhalation — because the orchestra can't wait five minutes for you to find the air. So knowing how your body feels when you inhale helps you to get air in your body quickly to sing the next phrase. Use the following exercise to explore your own inhalation. Get a feel for how your body should move when you inhale and exhale. 1. Pretend that air is really heavy as you inhale. Visualize it weighing 50 pounds and let it fall low into your body. 2. Let it fall lower than your belly button. Explore this sensation. 3. Then let the breath fall in faster. Still visualize it being heavy but let it fall quickly into your body. 4. You can also fill your lungs as if you were going to blow up a balloon. You will feel your abdomen and lower back expand. This sensation of quickly filling your lungs with air is how you properly inhale for singing.
