A thread of Taehyung’s vocal and singing warm-ups during practices and before performances

#BTSV #뷔 #방탄소년단뷔 #V

Lip trills to loosen up jaw tension and relax his tongue. He’s also mixing it up with sirens in the latter half

Facial stretches to tongue and jaw tension. Adding this here — although he’s not vocalizing, part of warming up pre-performance is making sure the muscles of your face are relieved from tension!

Yes, Taehyung (and Jin) are singing the song from Lion King and arguably a favorite song of his but I do suppose there’s a reason for this. Circle of Life pretty great for practicing your vowels and loosening up the jaw

Taehyung and Jin practicing It’s Definitely You. Tae also helps Jin in correcting a note!

Rapping is a part of extended vocal technique, one in which Taehyung clearly has. Here is Taehyung practicing Yoongi’s part in Ddaeng as Yoongi supervises him.

He really takes his parts seriously. Here is Taehyung practicing his part in Ddaeng alone

Very serious, detailed, and self-critical. Here is Taehyung again rapping Yoongi’s part in Ddaeng while JK films him. Filming your practice is a good way to track your progress and correct your performance.

Taehyung has gained a reputation for singing operatic style during practices & downtime. While we know he’s having fun, it’s actually a good way to check your dynamics and tone-quality, especially when he sang inside the bathroom for better acoustics.

“Nessun dorma“ is a tenor aria. Why is Taehyung singing an aria meant for tenors (and not baritone)? Well, if you have to sing a majority of songs for tenor tessitura, I’d might as well warm up and practice for it! https://twitter.com/btsitalia_twt/status/1159545077712265222?s=21

Taehyung and Jungkook singing A Daily Song backstage. They’re harmonizing here too. A very nice way to check your timing, hearing and pitch!

Bonus:

This isn’t from backstage/practice, but it’s pretty neat at how Taehyung and RM just burst in doing tongue trills and roll on those “r’s”. Tongue trills also the same benefits with lip trills.

Obviously, exercising and practicing his singing already a habit for Taehyung that he does it even off the clock (as should a true vocalist must). Singing a variety of songs are one of the most effective to warm up your vocal muscles. +

So, the next time you see Taehyung singing outside of a performance, this isn’t just bec. he loves music or singing. There’s a reason why he brings a Bluetooth karaoke mic with him. He’s also exercising and practicing his vocals to improve his performances as a singer
