Lip trills are a fun and simple way to get your voice and breath flowing. Just press your lips together gently and exhale while voicing a pitch, letting your lips vibrate in a buzzing motion — like a motorboat.
Why it works:
Lip trills loosen tension in the jaw and throat, engage diaphragmatic breathing, and prepare the vocal folds without pressure. Great as a first step.
How to do it:
Inhale deeply through your nose.
Exhale with closed lips, letting them flutter.
Add pitch: start on a comfortable note, then glide up and down.
Time: 2 minutes.
