Warming up is very critical to a great performance. You must warm up your muscles. Singers are very much like athletes. Like an Athlete, always make sure you are properly warmed up and prepared both mentally and physically before you begin to sing. If you were to run a hundred metres without warming up, you would probably pull a muscle. Same with singing. Gently, warm up your voice and think positive thoughts before you begin.
A rule of thumb is to do at least 20 minutes of vocal exercises. If you perform a lot, it could take less time. If you perform infrequently, warm up longer. Otherwise you warm up on your audience or, worse, you find congestion, range weakness or other problems on stage rather than in the privacy of your home -- where you can work to overcome them.
You go to hit a note… and a different one comes out! Your delicate little vocal folds were not made to go from 0 to 60 in three seconds. You must stretch them to their full range gently and gradually!
