I spoke with Aaron Lewis of Staind recently, and he told me how he doesn’t warm up his vocals before shows.
“I don’t warm up. I tend to be smoking one thing or the other on the way to the stage. And no, I don’t do anything to warm up. Actually, if I play acoustically, I could play every night for weeks on end and it wouldn’t hurt my voice. Playing with the band hurts my voice, because I try and keep up with volume of the band.”
