Hands down the simplest, most effective exercise I've come across in 35 years of performing and teaching. One of the best things about it - as a teaching tool particularly - is that unlike most exercises there are very few pitfalls and this video addresses them. Cash tip is on the way, thank you so much!
I have to say I was super skeptical, but tried this exercise anyway… and I can’t believe it actually worked! Will def include this in my practice routine 🙌
As a result of this gent being ethical in giving credit to the the creator of this method and not trying to sell additional straws (that are of no benefit) He is the best teacher on the Web. He teaches the stuff that really works. THANK YOU.
Great idea. I am going to patent singing straws. I’m gonna sell non- biodegradable singing straws than are vegan and gluten free and I’ll promise to never test on sea turtles. The plus in using non-biodegradable plastic is that you don’t have to keep rebuying our straws. They come 12 different different diameters in 12 different lengths for each diameter. That’s 144 different straws. Different voices benefit from different straws. Only $1 for each Straw. That’s a total deal and I’ll even guarantee that I will tell you that you sound like one of the divas.. Whitney, Beyoncé l, Celine etc and if I don’t think you do I will give you your money back.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to show this exercise to the public using the smallest diameter straw; for those just starting to use straws, it is MUCH wiser to start with a larger diameter, so as not to put too much pressure where it doesn’t belong (cheeks, lower back, etc.). Using a wider yet longer straw in a glass of water to blow bubbles also gives people a visual aid with the goal of creating an even production of bubbles. Blowing through a narrow straw into open air is geared for more advanced individuals.
Jungkook may have seen this video as when he was talking about using straw to improve vocals on a recent video of seven song recording he said that it is scientifically proven...am I right?
Content is good. But I don't understand why there are so many editing cuts which is jarring and distracting. Please just talk into the microphone normally without these cuts if you are using them intentionally.
Nonsense. Straws are meant for overworked or overly stressed voice. They are NOT for improvement of singing. Why not you ask? Because the straw cannot simulate real world singing in any capacity. You are not phonating with an open vocal tract, are not enunciating and not using the articulators. And the biggest of all - you are not using enough core pressure. Straw exercises are meant to relax the voice. Singing is an athletic event. It requires pressure and physicality. Too much emphasis has been put on straw exercises who don't know any better because 98% of all "voice teachers" or "voice coaches" don't actively perform or have NEVER performed in any significant way.
I find these straw exercises initially make me much better. But shortly after, my voice gets tired and weaker. So I wonder if it’s like weight lifting where the muscles fatigue but recover stronger. Or if I’m in danger of damaging my voice by overdoing it.
It's a bit unclear what you mean when you refer to chest voice, head voice, and mix. If you're discussing these terms in relation to timbre, that's one thing, but if you're referring to the mechanics of how the vocal cords function, that's another. For example, all human voices operate on the same principle; the difference lies only in the range of these modes. For instance, falsetto is higher in women, while chest voice is lower in men. The vocal cords operate in only three modes: falsetto, the so-called 'speaking' or modal voice (let's call it chest voice for simplicity), and strohbass, also known as vocal fry. The concept of a 'mix' voice is problematic because the vocal cords cannot simultaneously function in falsetto and head voice modes; they simply don't work that way. I would be interested to hear your perspective on what you mean by these terms-chest, head, and mix.
Agree to disagree-- Interesting tho. I use exercises without props to accomplish the same things. i also believe the mouth shouldn't be pulled back on words like glare and that cutoffs are important . Well explained tho-- Kudos to that.
I'm not a singer but used this to work on my vocals and voice as a presenter. And wow just those few minutes I had clarity in my tone. Thank you for sharing this. Will check out your website.
Do these exercises work if youve been going through menopause? Ive been having difficulty with my singing voice, since i went into menopause. I normally sing like minnie riperton.
They make staws specifically for singers. They are just like anyother straw except metal and come with a handy carrying case. Oh..... they cost 75 times more than an entire box of straws. Someone saw a need and filled it, and is making some cash. I prefer to use a new straw every session. More sanitary.
Made my own from a metal soap dispenser😂 important question tho! It feels very good, but i can do it 2 ways. The easiest is with the sound of air coming through the tube aswell as the voice. If i try to get harder fold closure to get a sharper sound, there is no air sound coming through, and it makes it much harder. But i wonder if that is the correct way, to sort of not have any air sound at all? I hope not haha,
I know this video is a couple years old, but I just want to say thank you so much. The feeling of being able to sing something right now when I couldn't just 10 mintues ago is mindblowing. I am in shock right now...
almost no sound will come out when i do this with a straw 👀 I'd say my vocal technique is pretty advanced but I still quite struggle with vocal fatigue. After puberty I had issues with my vocal folds not closing properly. It wasn't noticeable when I sang or spoke but I knew it was hindering me while singing. I trained for 2 years with a speech therapist. Now it's way better but I still have some issues with all of that I think. And this kinda proves it. Maybe I have to start with a bigger straw? I chose a Capri sun Straw, so very small, like Adams.
I started with a wider, bigger glass straw immersed in water, ( doing bubbles that should have a steady bubbling ) it works anyway. The results are quick. Now I'm using a metal straw not as small as in the video but not as wide as before, and I'm not using water. I find this to be an effect that betters your voice a lot for about 1.5 to 2 hours then as you sing and sing you go back to your old "self" and it takes a bit more effort to sing. During the period of the effect is really effortless. ( this is what I've personally experienced it could only be me , I don't know)
If you just google SOVT you will find a lot of studies about it. I just got into recently via Oren Boder of Rayvox. I purchased their Resono straw and I’m enjoying it so far.

it does work. but when is the improvement permanent. i tried the other day and now i feel like i was back where i started. do you do this daily and always before a performance?
Omg it actually worked,thank you.
How many minutes a day😊
you're lying😢😢😢

I practice SLS and recently slacked off my exercises which has me breaking again and my phonation is ka ka. This helped a LOT. makes total sense.
it is actually good to put the straw in a bottle and to blow water while singing it creates more pressure
Yes this is a dutch technique but the straw is much thicker
Adam: * uses 500 cuts in the video * Also Adam: we’re gonna see if that dundididnt make a difference
Thanks! When singing Falsetto with a straw, the air seems not able to flow from the lung. Any tips? Thanks!

I’m new to singing and got some of the thin coffee stirring straws to do this and I think it was hurting my vocal cords 😬
Should I plug my nose cuz that's where all the breathing is happening
The best vocal excercise is when u gargling a water !
Why’s that?

Thanks for the video ! Where can we find this narrow straws ? I'm actually using a regular 6mm inox straw but I would like a smaller one to train ...

Too bad I don't have the money for the lesson subscription. Hopefully I can get good with self practice. :)
Just tried it and it’s quite amazing!!

Absolutely the best exercise - I've had so much improvement from this (cord closure in particular).
Can I do a puffy cheek exercise through a straw
Walked from the top of a parking deck, where i was listening to this, to a hotel bar down the street to grab a plastic stir straw.
Omg I can't believe it! There's literally a huge difference before and after! Thank you so much!
Literally or metaphorically?
@@bazingacurta2567or figuratively?
@@thekaliko Same thing, in this case.
It really is incredible. It's just a shame that the immediate benefits often don't last as long as I'd wish.
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏 Dana. I really appreciate your support!
Should any air pass through the nose?

I've never seen a straw that narrow where do you get one?
A bar maybe

Will this reduce monotone vocals?

Hi
Please react to "bambi" baekhyun of exo
That's soooo amazing
Hey Adam, would be great if you can put a full vocal workout with straw on keyboard...
Omg yes
Is it okay to use a bigger straw at first? Like a regular drinking straw, and then a coffee stirrer?

Can I close my lips really tightly and create pressure that way? Still letting just a little bit of air go thru?
Damn I'm early af
I know this video is a couple years old, but I just want to say thank you so much. The feeling of being able to sing something right now when I couldn't just 10 mintues ago is mindblowing. I am in shock right now...
Do we really need straws at all or closing our lips is enough to get this intended back pressure?
Does it have to be a small straw like the one you are using?
Yep, to make sure you get the back pressure, too large, and its pointless
I suspect the length isn't overly important, it'll likely be the diameter bore that makes a difference. But use whatever you can get hold of.
please react on bts film out song please
No
Your parents should have named you bts
Please is it advisable to do your daily vocal exercise when having sore throat.
No you should rest the voice when the throat and vocal tract are inflamed (this doesn’t mean whispering as whispering strains the voice).
Can it even improve my sound which sounds like I am coughing all the time?
Excellent!!
How mant minutes a day
thank u
Ive got bilateral sulcus and my voice therapist has given me this exercise I hope it helps
Hi! How are you now?
I can't believe it worked
omg it worked!!!!
Are you a Zionist, adam?
It's a coffe stirring straw right?
No there are specialised vocal straws.

why this doesnt work for me? I feel like my cords are numb or I start grunting after doing this.
Hi there. There are so many singing straws out there. Is there one that you recommend?
Can you link the study or post the name?
If you just google SOVT you will find a lot of studies about it. I just got into recently via Oren Boder of Rayvox. I purchased their Resono straw and I’m enjoying it so far.
Amazing
Sometimes the air wants to scape through the nose, must I close it?
Please react to BTS new song Film Out!

Does it help with vibrato?
So, how many times we should do this exercise in one day?
Picking up a straw ASAP!!!
Awesome 💐🌹💐
Does it help with whistle register?

Could be a straw used with hot coffee or tea
Thank you so much! I wish I had this in high school! Along with the mic systems of today! 😂
Works with a reusable stainless straw?
Definitely
So do you think buying singing straws is worth it or can I just use coffee straws and be fine with that?
it does work. but when is the improvement permanent. i tried the other day and now i feel like i was back where i started. do you do this daily and always before a performance?
