It should only take about 30 minutes a day to warm up your voice. The main goal is to make sure that you open up the entire range. You need to exercise using all three voices - Chest, Middle, and Head. Some people think that they can warm up the voice by singing songs. I have several problems with that theory. If the song is written in a way that creates pressure or strain as you sing toward the higher notes, you are hurting yourself instead of helping. You should use exercises that gently allow the voice to move from lower to higher pitches with no tension. If you try and start out too loud or too airy, you can dry out the cords long before you ever get the chance to hit the stage. Remember that it's called "warm-up", so give yourself a break and allow the voice to build up strength gradually over the 30 minutes. Give your audience the best of you... not just what's left of you.
