The exercise feels really good. Like my vocal folds are saying "Oh, there you are, vibrations. Where have you been?"
My vocal coach ❤️🫂😊
Straw exercise starts around 3:55
i really needed this! ive been going out a lot with my friends and now my voice is kinda tired! this channel has literally everything i need
So happy to hear that :) Be kind to your voice and keep up the great work!!
Thanks a lot 🙏🏻
Ben sick and without voice 1 month! Checkt with a doctor and nothing is wrong, so now it’s rehab time!
It feels a lot easier to talk after following your tips and tricks!
Lots of love ❤️
Oh no! Hope you are feeling better. So glad the videos are helping you :). Keep up the great work!
love this!! just spent a month out and already feeling better since doing these exercises today!! thank you:) xx
Yay!! That's amazing. Keep up the great work :)
That’s exactly what I need now. It’s sad, but yes. Thank you for this exercises, I feel it helps 🙏❤️🌹
You're so welcome! Be patient with yourself :) You got this.
You really are amazing thank you
Happy to help!
Very helpful, thank you :)
You're welcome!
Great video! Definitely using this today with my allergies!
I hope it helps!! :)
Thank you so much. I’ve been using the singing straw with my vocal coach and it’s great to have a video to follow along - at the moment I’m rehabilitating my voice after a flare of my neurological condition. Three months of barely speaking and having my muscles not working right anywhere in my body has left my voice pretty weak and straw work is SO helpful.
SO SO happy to hear that!!! Keep up the great work and keep us posted on your journey :)
I've overused my voice last week & today I decided to be back & this is the perfect video. Thank you so much!!
You're so welcome! :)
This was really helpful. Been out of sync for about a month following an infection.
So glad it helped you!! Hope you start to feel better soon
Just what I needed today😀coached too much the other day…..
So glad this helped!! :)
Hi i had vocal nodule surgery and trying this,
Hi whitney what eyeshadow do you wear here haha out of the topic i like it
Thank you! This information was so important for me to hear! today I'm going to get the second Covid 19-vaccine shot, don't know what would be the side effects from it yet but trying to prepare my voice for any case. 💖😃
Best of luck!! Thinking of you today!
@@SingingStraw Hey! Luckily my voice is fine, I'm just a bit dizzy and weak. Thank you a lot for caring♥️
Hi Whitney! I've been wanting to strengthen my voice for a long time, AND I got sick, so I ordered the S/S (original). I've been doing this video every day for about 10 days or so w/ 2 straws. Is the idea to strengthen enough to be able to use one straw before moving to longer workouts? I tried your "How to jump back in" workout yesterday (w/ 2 straws) and it seemed great, but a few hours later my voice felt tired so I'm back to this one today. I'm stressing about what's the right thing to do!
I'd work your way to a single 3mm straw here and then once you're comfortable with that, start doing longer sessions.
@@SingingStraw Thanks so much for the reply! Continuing to strengthen :)
For how long and how often per day do we do these exercises?
Just a few minutes every day is all it takes!
Hi Whitney, just purchased your product and I've very excited to add the straw to my rehab routine. I've been experiencing vocal issues since December after going through covid. I've been having trouble accessing my mix...the space that I used to be able to create is gone through my higher chest voice and passagio. ENT ruled out vocal damage so my chords look good. I gig frequently, about 4 times a week...what do you recommend for a rehab to rest ratio? Trying to find a balance between gigs and rest and rehab that makes sense for me without taking complete vocal rest, as the vocal rest I've taken (2 weeks) didn't prove to have helped this issue with my voice. Any insights would be appreciated
Hey there! Thanks for reaching out - I'm glad you saw an ENT to rule out vocal damage. Great first step! It can take time to build back your balance in the middle after an intense infection like COVID. Rest/Rehab ratio can be different for everyone, and will depend on the style of singing you do and the length of your sets. If you are new to straw phonation, start by just adding a daily straw warmup and cooldown to your routine, see how that helps. Then if you need to, try to mitigate your voice use and gigging by using a straw to "reset" in between songs or sets. Hope that helps! LMK how it goes :)
Hi. I was wondering if I can practise more often using the singing straw?
I'm new to singing and my singing teacher said I shouldn't be practising more than 30 mins a day.
Thanks for your videos 🙏
I always suggest doing what feels comfortable for you!
i used to be a pro singer, but haven't really done a lot for 3 years since dealing with autoimmune stuff - I wanna get back to singing but i lost so much power and top voice. Humming is my favorite thing. I just got the pro straws. I feel like i'm not really doing it accurately. It feels like I may be using too little support or too much. My voice cracks easily and swell. Are there other videos I should begin with?
Have you seen this one yet? czcams.com/video/8ER8gm-jGkA/video.html
My voice took a beating after I had COVID. More recently, I had a string of surgeries that all involved time on a ventilator. I'm fully recovered now, but my singing voice has suffered.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you find these videos helpful as you work to get your voice back! Keep up the great work. Sending good vibes your way :)
@@SingingStraw thank you very much!
How do you know when you’re ready to start belting again. I had a sinus infection and lost the high end of my range for about a week. I’ve been doing gentle exercises like this (with my Singing Straw, of course) for a few days now. Things are back range-wise, but I’m nervous about going further! 😭😭😭
Always do what feels best for you and your voice! Be patient and gentle with yourself. And, if you are really worried - I would recommend talking to a doctor and/or specialist :)
My voice is sometimes hoarse and sounds like a vocal fry. Is there a vocal exercise to help that?
Make sure you are taking care of your voice in other ways - staying hydrated, getting enough rest, etc. And our exercising helping with strain might help you out as well. Keep us posted!! czcams.com/video/Rdggvm10PHs/video.html
I’m going on an important audition in 2 weeks and I’m sick and lost my voice and I’m panicking
Don't panic! You got this. Make sure you take care of yourself with rest and TONS of hydration. This video will definitely help once you are starting to feel better. Don't forget to check in with your doctor as well. Sending you healing thoughts!
I have lost some of my range.
Keep practicing!!
