Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Try doing the "siren" exercise, where you lightly sing starting at a high note and you slide down. You can also start low, slide up high and then slide back down. In addition, in my voice lessons we do this with an actual phrase, that is we "call" the phrase in a high-ish light voice and sort of sing-song say the phrase. This opens the throat; I sing the phrase right after I've called it, and it always improves, it's amazing. Ask you director about the "siren" if you can't get it from my description.

Good luck.
