Hello Susi and List:

I have found onset exercises work best to obtain correct closure of the
vocal folds for singing and counteract the effects often found with singers
who lift weights.

The best description of the correct onset exercise procedure and examples of
exercises for their use I have found in Richard Miller's book, "The
Structure of Singing".
