Vocal Exercises To Increase Range And Power (With a Straw)
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 08. 2024
- 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.

lol the first one is literally 2/3rds of the video
I've tried many vocal exercises and this is the most effective, especially if your putting the straw into a plastic bottle of water and blowing the bubbles,
Even after 1 session you noticed the power and resonance,
100% if you do this once a day 5 days a week with his other "sovt for powerful voice than that's completely transforms you as a singer,
The thinner the straw the more effective is the outcome
You are a blessing of god
Thank you :)
Totally!
Amen!
Sorry to be that person but *God
@@Jacobsvocalacademy excuse me do I inhale as often as I push like or just push 4 times than inhale
I reached a stage where my saliva is coming out of my straw
That's not saliva that's vapour

Saaaaaaame
In minutes my voice feels better and I’m going higher than I have before. This is literally awesome going to try and do this everyday
It's so nice of You to upload such a tremendous series of tutorials to help young Vocalists, God Bless You.
Yo, I just started and sang thing I normally belt and sang it all with gentle, quite voice. It's probably the best exercise I did.
I don't know what type of stuff you did, but my voice INSTANTLY improved!!! Like the tone is SO much better! I'll continue to do this exercise and definitely recommend it!
Did you continue
@@bf4lvr Yes! I did continue and I think improve quite a bit!
@@dwatpotato4952 good to hear
@@bf4lvrhihl
Thank you for this video! My voice feels so much stronger now that I’m warming up with a straw!
You are welcome 😁
This is so wonderful to hear! :)
@@Jacobsvocalacademy . when it's time to hit the high notes, should I use it with a chest voice or a mixed voice? . if i use mixed voice, well i can't. Or probably i did it wrong? I still confused with the how you sing with straw. Sorry... Can u help me
can you tell me how you do the vvv sound please?
We need more straws excercise this is dope
It’s on the way 😋
You're going to love what we're working on! :)
@@FiveMinuteCall totally!
@@Jacobsvocalacademy first time I already saw a difference,thank U dude
can you tell me how you do vvv sound through the straw?
I face my parrot cage when doing this and he literally just got a shower 😂😂
Anybody else drooling while doing these exercises? Lol
🤤
There gon be alot of spit lmao
😂
I thought I was doing it wrong XD
You're not alone 😂
If your abs don't hurt then you're not doing it right ✅
If you're throat hurts you're doing it wrong ❌
this should be pinned
Bruh my mouth lips and cheeks are getting tired.
@@psychlyeslg same. I even have to hold the straw. Between my index and middle finger cause of that. But using my breath support
Thank you very much man, without this channel I would be doomed. I try to practice everyday with your videos, they have really helped me to become better singer.
It would be great if you would add some more examples about the (kind color contour) of sound we should make during the exercise,
I have found it extremely difficult to find the right sound while doing them.
And again thank you very much man for making my dream more within reach.
can you tell me how you do the vvv sound please?
@@WolfIIzarean so I first do the vvv sound without the straw then put the straw in but keep the same shape
hello how do we know if we have done the exercise correctly. How should we feel when doing these exercises?
Ion know but my mouth be tired lol
you know when youre watching football and they make that "hut" noise? If youre not feeling it from there (your diaphragm) youre not doing it right :)
@@Fringebaitx so it’s good for the diaphragm is it
thank u so much for this😁 have a great day!!

Can you do a vocal exercise on how to develop whistle register?
I already have a few of those. Search for them on my channel ;)
Jacobs Vocal Academy thanks to you and the grace of God...I have developed a whistle register.
Yay!
I love this vocal exercise.

This Works
Just Put In A Lot Of Effort
can you tell me how you do vvv sound through the straw?
@@WolfIIzarean Put your teeth front of the straw
Not that Simon Le Bon has the best or strongest voice...but I have a bit of trouble singing Duran Duran songs. His voice is higher than mine, and I don't want to transpose every DD song. Looking forward to doing all these exercises. Thank you.
i am starting voice exercises today my range is also enough high but i wanna imrove a lot about singing and technique. And this is gonna be my fav exercise
My ambition is all day for 4-5 months.
And i hope my chest belting note max will be C-C#5
i will update all day
day 1 +
day 2 +

Are we supposed to do it without stopping
Cus I Have a serious headache rn😪
when he says to try to slide smooth my brain plays cha cha real smooth in my head and now my table is covered with saliva
Thanks for this. I think this is more challenging than just a normal vocal exercise. Just 1 question. My throat feels like its expanding, is it just fine?
This is actually a normal sensation. As you add more resistance your vocal tract will expand slightly due to the pressure - and you can often feel this. Just make sure it still feels balanced, so don't overload with too much pressure!
Okay this works crazy good after just 5 minutes
can you tell me how you do vvv sound through the straw?
Fr
@@WolfIIzarean sorry I just saw this 😭 so it's gonna work if the straw doesn't have any airflow blocked on the other side I guess, I havent done this in a long time
@@ririthereal no worries thank you!
@@WolfIIzareanhi
Take a ball pen, take out the ink pipe and back end plastic also and you got a perfect singing straw.
Inhale exhale calmly first for 2-3 minutes without making sound of inhale, stand tall.
Don't try to copy your favourite singer (i did this for months, its an stigma)
Properly make sound without abdominal tight.
Don't pay attention to vocal chords, pay attention to inward and outward motion of your stomach...
Your welcome...
Omg thank you, i really needed this
can you tell me how you do vvv sound through the straw?

Wasn't paying attention when the track skipped to the next "40 Minute Vocal Warm Up With A Straw" and was like, Hell no.
Great 🥰
Thank you 🙏
Thanks a lot...my voice feels a whole lot better😁😁😁😁😁
can you tell me how you do vvv sound through the straw?
does this exercise go up to head voice or go into higher notes? cause I am going higher and higher into head voice/ high chest voice and I am not sure if I am doing it right
Using a straw primarily produces a "mixed" setting, whilst also elongating the vocal tract - so you might find you can access higher notes with greater ease.
SOVT Straw so as long as my vocal cords feels like it’s getting worked it’s working?
@@FiveMinuteCall Hey I’m trying to do these excercises and around d4 e4 f4 I feel immense stress - like a weight my throat can’t lift. G4 is impossible. I feel that my voice is more soother, clear, and resonant with other notes, but every time I hit those I just can’t get a clear output
Any reasons why/ exercises aimed at that?
I’m getting to the point where I think it isn’t possible to fix it.
YOU ARE THE BRST🏆
My voice always cracks when I sing low key
Please explain
It’s because it’s not in your vocal range I think..?idk I saw it’s somewhere
There's a couple of things to be mindful of here. It's likely that these notes are across a break, so you'll need to work to strengthen them and help to blend and transition across them. There's also the factor of the breath, and that the breath pressure requirements change with pitch. So you might need to explore boosting the breath pressure slightly for lower pitches.
Yeah, its probably the breath. Low notes need to be backed up with a bit more support. Remember keep your chest/shoulders relaxed breath with the belly.
You just need to practice a bit. Then will all be fine. Bc It happened with me too. Now its all cool
The way your tongue is located changes the air flow and if the air flow fails your voice will
crack
Am I to do the whole exercise without any break?
That's optional. You can run through the whole exercise for a good workout, or you can choose your favourite exercises, or note ranges, for something more targeted. :)
Wowww nice. Vibrato training with straw plz. Awesome coach
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the support! I really appreciate it 🙏
Do I really need a straw while performing this?
Just a clarification..
Thank you very much!
This exercise looks promising
Yes, these exercises are designed specifically to take advantage of the physics of straw phonation. There are certain airflow, acoustic, and pressure interactions that are modified when using a straw, and we leverage this to provide an athletic style workout for the intricate muscles of the voice.
Off topic but did anyone else get a smule add
Is this the only exercise I need to do every for a better voice? Do I need to do something else? Other exercises from the channel maybe?
is this why singing felt familiar to me after playing a wind instrument for 10 years
I have a few doubts related to this, I really want to improve my vacal range and singing. Will @jacobs vocal academy be willing to answer them?
Sure! It would require you to actually tell me what it is though..
@@Jacobsvocalacademy so it's not really related to this video, it's just a general doubt. So all I wanted to ask was that are your warm-ups and exercises to be done at a specific time or can I do it randomly at anytime of the day? Also if it is to be done according to a schedule then pls tell me which time of the day would be most suitable. Okay, just this last question. Are your warm-ups just for a warm-up or do they improve the vocals if you do them everyday?
You can do them anytime of the day.
warm ups are just to warm up. If you want to really improve then you need to use the other exercises as well
@@Jacobsvocalacademy thank you so very much.
You are welcome 😉
1 day!
Let’s go! 🙌
@Jess Caley I loooove this exercise! It’s definitely getting better. But sometimes I feel like I did a workout.
@Jess Caley thank you!) I’ll do my best!)
Have a month to prepare for an audition so I’m gonna do this every day till that audition
Day 1:✅
(Edit: did this for almost a month but completely forgot to update. BUT IVE IMPROVED SM)
Rip
Can you make an exercise video on how singing softly ?
U can also use this
thank you so much
my throat hurts i don't think i'm doing it right.
Support
Work with your diaphragm not your throat
Can we get more straw exercises?
Sir my voice has changed already i'm 17 and i started singing now so can i hit all these notes i can hit all notes except the upper three and how long it will take to learn to sing
It’s my first time warming up with a straw, don’t know if I’m doing this right, is it normal to have saliva in the straw😅😅
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it happens to everyone
Yep, saliva will naturally accumulate as a result of the direction of airflow. I recommend maybe backing off the breath pressure slightly to find a more gentle airflow configuration. This should help reduce this.
SOVT Straw Thanks !😊
I love you jacob
One thing I will say is after two years of doing these exercises I believe only the first one is actually effective
Day 1. Feeling wierd. I'm not sure if I'm doing right.
Can you expand more on how it's feeling and I can point you in the right direction? :)
@@FiveMinuteCall well, I was like only breathing out with rhythm. 😂😂😂 Not singing.
Also you're so kind. Thank you for replying.
@@javaddjames3217 Which exercise were you referring to, or all of them? :)
@@javaddjames3217 same
Hi Nice video!
Thanks!
Can you please upload a demonstration video. I don't know how to do the V sound. Is it just normally blowing through the straw? Or is it something else?
A little late reply but I think it's just regular V sound.
I’ve been just blowing with sound, trying not to puff cheeks and push from your core. I would imagine this is correct since it’s like almost impossible to make the shape a V needs while blowing through the straw
Does this actually work? Would LOVE to hear some testimonials! 😀
Is it normal that my vocal cords feel over worked?
Your voice should feel like it's had a workout, but never overworked. It might be that you're training with too much resistance, and if so, find a wider, shorter straw to work with.
SOVT Straw Yes workout is much suited term. I didn’t experience pain or any difficulty singing just a new sensation, thank you!
@@td2926 Yep, that's a good thing. We don't ever want pain, but this new sensation is good. It's akin to how your other muscles might feel after working out in a GYM. They'll feel *worked*, but should never be painful.
SOVT Straw I was surprised to feel that kind of feeling. I mean, I did many vocal exercises, 1-2 hours, hard ones too. But this one, hm, sometimes I can do it until the end, but the next day 5 or 7 minutes is enough) My voice is alright, but I feel that I’m tired and I want to sleep)
Sir ur videos are great but we are not knowing how to do it just can u pls Illustrate it so that we can follow u correctly
7:10 rips me up
Update: no longer, haha -- feels great !
Done 22.2.22👍
@JacobVocalAcademy in the higher notes my voice become little shrill... Will this exercise help me to solve this issue? please reply...
Could this help your speaking voice?
Yes, absolutely! Straw exercises are great for the voice in general, so these'll definitely help build and develop your speaking voice!
SOVT Straw what are straw exercises?
@@lukebrodin631 Straw exercises are the ones featured in this video. Checkout the "How Singing Through a Straw Will Make You An Awesome Singer" collab I did with Jacob for more info. :)
SOVT Straw where can I find this video?
@@lukebrodin631 On Jacobs channel. Just check out his most recent videos. :)
3rd! 😁🎤🎶
Can you do vocal exercises that are for people with a cold? 😅
Pls don't do vocal exercises if you have cold.
When you push your voice through a cold, your vocal cords can swell, which can lead to a condition called laryngitis. When you develop laryngitis, pushing your voice is a very bad idea.
What can I do when I have a cold?
Should I avoid vocal warm ups, exercises,..?😅
Yes avoid doing vocal warm ups
So that's the reason why my voice is bad..🥲 Thx btw
Can I use this as warmup before singing?
Yes, absolutely! That's what this is intended for.
Yes this is perfect
@@lanaandthediamonds3651 thank you
@@lochdeekyoutuber3382 if u use this everyday before singing your voice will be stronger and if you feel one day your hurts take a break until it goes away
Which is gap to breath in the first exercise?
I feel the vibration in my head. Is that ok? Or am i doing it wrong?
That's perfect
what are the benefits of this exercise?
Read the description
Okay let's try to do this for a 30 days
Day1:done, feeling strange😹but I love it
Day2:done, wow I did it😹
Day3: didn't do it, i had lots of fuckin homework😹
Day4:done//yaaayy//I think there's a little improvement
Day5:didn't do it:/
Day6:only now I understood what straw means(I'm not English speaker😹) and now I use it, so this day is done/I feel my voice sounds kinda softer and more tender/
Where'd you go
Anyone using a regular straw or did you buy the straw?
Where is the video that EXPLAINS How and Why the straw exercises work?
Day1:done
8:25
Are these okay to do with the boba milk tea straws? Like the wide ones
Honestly who knows. I didn't even use a straw I used the container that pens are put in. So as long as you are using a tube with a whole at each end you should be okay
@@lynnne Thanks!
As the comments elude to, any kind of cylindrical object with opposing apertures will work. However, they probably won't work as well as they should or could, especially for you voice. 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. I have lots more info on my website, so check the link in the description for more. :)
@@FiveMinuteCall Gotcha. Thanks!
Hi, I dont understand how I need to place the straw… Help please 🙏🏽
I think i'm gonna build a 6 pax at this rate
Not sure if I'm doing it right or not, my throat feels itchy like? Like it hurts and I coughed a lot
It sounds like you are using a very thin/long straw which is providing too much resistance. It might also be that you're outputting too much of a pressed-pressurised sound. I recommend finding a wider straw 6mm (approx) and using it with about 1cm of water. This should make things more therapeutic and eliminate the issues.
@@FiveMinuteCall thank you so much! I’ll keep that in mind.

Do we have to vocal cool down after this exercise
U should always do a vocal cool down when done singing
Is it normal that the sound kind of cracks? It’s my first time doing these
Is your throat is hurt when doing this or am I do this wrong
You can try to reduce the amount of resistance you're adding, so try a wider or shorter straw.
I'm not able to understand. Do I have to hum through the straw, only blow aair out or what
You make the sound through it.
Is it okay if a falsetto?
Was wondering this myself, I just switch whenever it starting to feel uncomfortable. The excercise eventually connects/blends chestvoice with the headvoice.
Is normal to feel my throat dry?
Not sure mine is dry also I wish someone would answer your question
i am so fuucing frustrated rn how do you do the dang vvv slund through the straw
Do we have to breathe in from the nose ?
That's totally optional. :)
Is it normal to feel like imma pass out?
Can any one tell me what it means to do 1×4, 2×4, ....? I am not a singer but i am ill.
Adding this to the list
If this works, I will give you a cookie.
I’ll be back in 2 weeks.
where we place the straw?
Can i use a pen instead of straw?
Checkout some of the comments I've replied to a bit further down for a full answer. In short, yes, I guess you can use a pen, but it will never be able to offer the same benefits as a dedicated straw that's been chosen for its length and aperture to offer the resistance settings necessary for your unique individual voice.
Imma sit with a bowl for my vapour
why dont you mention scale?

Yow my comment is lost and I am on my day 21 today so here we go.
