Make sure that you always warm-up before practicing!
If you have an audition or performance, I suggest that you first take a long, hot shower and enjoy the steam. Then, make yourself a nice cup of herbal tea (ginger or lemon is best). then, using your warm-up CD, do four exercises all the way through (about 15 minutes) and then sing through your song once. Then stop!
You want to make sure you are well-warmed up, but not blown out. Bring some hot tea with you to your show or audition and humm a little if you find you are waiting a long time. Have a couple of snacks handy, too.
