Ready to learn about the transformational power of communal singing and how it can elevate your daily life?

In this episode Greg takes a quick look at some of the many different vocal warmups and workouts used by vocalists and coaches alike. From choir lofts to Broadway stages, we explore the diverse warm-up styles that help singers tune their instrument – their voice. We review vocal coach sensation Cheryl Porter, known for her viral YouTube vocal warm-ups, and the various styles of a few others.

Dorian then delves into the hymn of the week, the uplifting "O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing," which is bound to leave you thinking about what you're doing with the one tongue that you have.

Did you know choir singing is actually a secret wellness hack? Reduced stress hormones, increased disease-fighting cytokines, enhanced memory, increased lung capacity, and even relief from postpartum depression – all these benefits and more from letting your voice soar in harmony with others. We share heartfelt testimonies from choir members and music ministry participants who have found solace, healing, and community in the act of singing together. Remember, you don't need to be a professional vocalist to join in; all are welcome here in the Choir Room.

In his final segment on this topic, Coleman takes another dive into the deep symbolism behind raising hands during worship. Rooted in biblical tradition, this act of surrender and devotion serves a dual purpose – it directs our attention beyond ourselves, while also underlining our dependence and surrender. So, whether you're a seasoned vocalist or someone who's vocal booth is in the shower, join us, and let's make a joyful noise together in the Choir Room.
