Bobby Koch Billion Dollar Book Warmup:

By the way Joe – I just remembered I used this a lot when I was aggressively cold calling
(http://www.ljlseminars.com/vocal_warm_up.htm ) ...an old trick from a Communication University prof of mine.
 
Put a pencil in your mouth, hold it between your teeth and recite it slowly. Do this once or twice before you start
calling – you’ll be amazed on how much more clear, and articulate you’ll sound – this was very useful for me
actually, hopefully for you to.
 
Send me whatever u got over there, would love to compare notes.

1) Before you begin, drink a glass of warm water.

While warming up the voice is important for those who speak a lot, it's also important for those
who don't. Some people have solitary jobs where they hardly speak at all, such as computer
programmers, artists or writers. If the vocal chords are under used, they may actually begin to
weaken and atrophy.

So that your voice stays as healthy as possible, I include a short version of my favorite vocal
warm up below. Here's how it works. The sentences in the warm up have been designed to work
many of the vowel and consonant sounds in the English language. Saying them properly can
actually strengthen your articulator muscles. Before you begin, drink a glass of warm water.
Then, read each sentence aloud slowly, pronouncing each word as carefully and properly as you
can. These are not tongue-twisters. DO NOT RACE. While doing the warm up, if your throat
becomes sore or your voice feels strained, stop immediately. Work up gradually until you can
comfortably do the entire exercise. And of course, if you have persistent hoarseness, weakness or
any kind of throat or voice problem, please see your doctor.
