gwendel,
instead of just sirening, you may want to add staccato exercises as well. i like using the syllable 'bip', myself. the benefits of staccato exercises, from my experience, is that it helps to keep the sound from spreading. it's hard to spread a staccato 'bip' and when returning to legato singing, it becomes obvious by contrast how spread one's singing has been. staccato singing also helps to seperate the 'meat from the motion'. that is, the exercise really points out how seperate the feeling of producing sound is from the sound itself.
