  • This video will teach you the best vocal exercises to help you increase your range, access higher notes with ease, sing more freely, and gain vocal power without straining!
    It uses a technique called SOVT - also known as "Straw Singing".
    Singing through a straw modifies how much air can escape the body, which allows air pressure and acoustic energy to be reflected backward from the lips, decompressing and helping the vocal folds vibrate more easily, and with less muscular effort. Basically, it works in a similar way to how an athlete trains in a GYM.

    Somehow I feel that this is THE ONLY EXERCISE that truly helps and you can feel the difference in singing RIGHT AWAY. I had a lot of problems with tension. I better keep doing these exercises. WOW!

    I've been taking singing lessons for two years and I feel that I haven't made any progress.
    I will start this exercise today and do it for 30 days. I will come every day to tell you how I am doing, if I improved or not (I need to improve to be able to graduate in August 2023 ie this year).
    Today/day 1: it's a challenge🤯
    I have done it 2 times today.

    5/3/2023
    Day 2 ✅
    6/3/2023 🤯
    Day 3 ✅
    7/3/2023
    I notice a great improvement in my shoulders, jaw and neck that were tense. (It is worth mentioning that my voice feels more relaxed when I sang today before doing the exercise) I did it for the third time now.
    Day 4✅
    8/3/2023
    today I did it 3 times, in the morning while I was in the bathroom, in the afternoon at about 1 p.m. and then at 4/5 p.m.
    It's amazing this exercise, I don't feel any tension, my voice has more body and I can sing some high notes better.
    (Accompanied this exercise with some other exercises from this same channel and other exercises, according to what I think my voice needs).
    I drink more water than usual.
    I sleep better and I sleep longer.
    I also eat better.
    Day 5✅
    9/3/2023
    I did in the morning.
    I realized that my voice needed a break.

      This does make your voice stronger, especially 3 times a 5 days a week morn aft and late evening,
      After 5 days your voice improves 20
      -25% easily,
      And because you know your voice wont crack,you sing with a open throat but its important to have 2 days of complete vocal rest if your also singing or doing other karaoke or other forms of vocal exercises,
      It's important to avoid fatigue that rest and water are incorporated into your vocal conditioning,
      Been doing this on and off since September with another vocal conditioning workout and the results are amazing, getting massive applause at karaoke nights and im definitely improved by 100% hitting those high notes

    Reminder that using your head voice is ok! Try to bridge the gap. Also, using a straw with water at the other end is more therapeutic and massaging for your voice while using it dry is more of a workout and stretch.

    Well I've been doing this for about 45 days now and it definitely helped me go much higher, but the best part would really just be that I strain less when singing higher notes. I don't choke as much and that allows me to push further which is where the higher notes really come in.
    Definitely recommend this, its probably the best vocal exercise video out there for quick results.

      @@WillBuildsStuff I am currently using a pen case because it has a super small opening in the end. It might be hard for you to do that but I have just been working my way up in difficulty. Just try to find a type of straw that is slightly difficult for you to blow through. Then work your way up every 2-3 weeks
      And it has definitely helped a ton with my mixed voice. I am able to breeze through from my chest mixed and head voice. I have also been pairing this with the "10 minute mixed voice" exercise video.
      Feel free to ask me any more questions because I have gone through a ton of these videos and found the ones that help the most. (at least for me)

As I said I'm doing this since June now and I'm still impressed, you will feel it the first time you use your SOVT Straw. Give it a try, if u serious with your voice development the few bucks it costs is nothing in comparison. But nevertheless it's just my personal opinion, I'm practicing singing for a little over 2 years now and tried alot but this is by far the most efficient way for improving my voice I found so far.

    Going to try this 0:40 (I started this 1 day before making this comment)
    Day 59 tip: with the second exercise I found easy for me to breathe after 4 notes
    D68 tip: don't practice these w/your chin touching your chest. This is to keep an open throat which = more power
    D86 tip: practice gamakas and hum(within your range) if the video is going beyond your range(humming is a recovery exercise)
    Day one is done
    Day two I needed a break due to doing this once by myself and once with my mother on day one
    Day three done

    D29✔ ✔✔✔✔.1(trying it with a plastic boba straw I got from a restaurant instead of my normal metal straw and it felt weird 1st time around 2nd try it felt more comfortable)(gura seems so far away with that belt from her karaoke stream)(then again I never tried to belt)(.1 because I did the last exercise again)
    D30✔✔✔✔✔(may have missed 2 days but still, I finally reached 30days)(currently trying w/water on second try)(I didn't strain my voice on other exercises after doing this 5 times yesterday; I'm doing 5 again)

    D3: Done ✅ The glides are more easy now, I don’t crack as much! But I do kinda feel strained after doing it. Maybe the straw is too narrow?
    -2 weeks break- gotten so busy but I alwys try to do siren whenever I see my straw.

    1. When am I supposed to breathe during the second exercise?
    2. My lips get really tense after a while. Isn’t tension in your face/ lips/ jaws something to be avoided when singing?
    Pretty new to vocals, any input is welcome!

      1. After 2 notes, 1x2 *breathe* 2x3 *breathe* 3x3 *breathe*
      2. I like to do lip trills after the exercise which helps
      Again, I’m not an expert at this, but this is just what works for me 👍

    Do these exercises ever have any lip movement? (Not sure how one would do that...) Or are we always just kind of doing straight oo vowels as one would through a kazoo? Is all the vvvvv sound we are hearing merely the near-mic "vocal fry-ish" sound through the straw?

  • @allanjustinboncay2321
    @allanjustinboncay2321 Před 3 lety +37

    Can i just use a regular and standard drinking straw? I'm broke as hell and that's the only thing that i could find 😂

    • @FiveMinuteCall
      @FiveMinuteCall Před 3 lety +15

      Yes, you can indeed. Just be mindful that the degree to which these effects occur are dependent on the resistance of the straw and its length. Individual differences mean that a single straw cannot be applied to all voices, and they're also task dependent too. You might find that you need a narrower straw to get a better workout, you might also find that you need a longer/shorter straw too. Really play around and explore what works for you, and be mindful about choosing a length and aperture configuration that'll suit your voice and your unique vocal needs. Our SOVT Straw is specifically engineered to maximise the airflow and pressure interactions, providing the most benefits for your voice - but you can certainly start out with a regular straw too. :)

    • @Alpha-Andromeda
      @Alpha-Andromeda Před 2 lety +2

      You can change the resistance at any moment by simply putting your plastic straw deeper or more shallow in your glass of water.
