The most common voicing for chords in vocal exercises is just a root position chord going straight up & back down the chord tones 1-3-5-1-5-3-1.

Typically the exercise starts on C, then goes up in half-steps however far the students vocal range extends.

So on guitar for C, C#, D that would be:

|---------------------------------------------------------------|[br]|---------1-------------------2-------------------3-----------|[br]|-------0---0--------------1---1--------------2----2--------|[br]|----2---------2--------3---------3--------4----------4-----|[br]|--3--------------3--4---------------4--5-----------------5-|[br]|---------------------------------------------------------------|

Hope that helps!
