Try a straw

Not just a notorious prison, but the forum to learn everything you need to know about getting your vocal tracks down, from a whisper to a scream, and all stops in-between.

Try a straw

Post by musicturtle »

So over the last year or so, my voice has not been as strong as usual. I had some problems I documented somewhere here with reflux, and I just never got fully back to the voice I had before, but not for lack of trying. I was doing warm ups, vocal exercises, etc. to get myself back to where I was. I was beginning to think it was just age and I things were starting to deteriorate. But I kept searching...

Then one day I found the tip to vocalize through a straw. Either just through a straw or through a straw in water.

Three weeks later doing these exercises and my range and power is back almost to what it was in my early twenties.

I suggest for anyone wanting to improve their singing voice in terms of range and stamina to google singing exercises with a straw.

Just thought I would pass along something that worked for me.
