Great question. I wouldn’t hesitate to try but I’d preface with this person to let him/her know it will be scary and uncomfortable at first and then give it a try
Yes for THIS drill. The idea is that the straw lengthens the distance for air to travel. The only way you can move air that well is diaphragmatically So you learn to use it better. When not performing the drill breathe through your nose
The common information we get is to breathe in through our nose and breathe out through your mouth. Is breathing from our mouth this way safe? Thanks for your kind explanation
In through the nose out through the mouth is appropriate for medium intensity exercise. I don’t recommend breathing that way at rest or lower levels of activity
Nonsense. Straws are meant for overworked or overly stressed voice. They are NOT for improvement of singing. Straw exercises are meant to relax the voice. Singing is an athletic event. It requires pressure and physicality. Straws cannot build the core strength needed to sing without over stressing the larynx 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.
Bless you! Anxiety and postural manipulation has disrupted my breathing for a long time.
Thanks!
My person has stage 4 COPD. Will this help or hurt him. He has trouble doing pursed breathing properly

Regeton in the background lol
I know 😂 so relaxing
For how much time should I do the exercise? And how many times? Thanks
I ask for 5 minutes a day
@@DanSwinscoe even with 3 straws i find it easy, what should I do?
@@ahsjdjakshs2137 feel good about your breathing pattern or try it a more advanced posture like tall kneeling or 1/2 kneeling Youre doing great !
Hi. Do I have to breathe through my mouth through a straw? Inhale and exhale through your mouth?
Yes through the straw. Nose is plugged
You should learn diaphragmatic breathing through the nose. Nose breathing is for Living, mouth breathing is for exercise and healing.

@@DanSwinscoe Thanks for your prompt response and your useful information Dan
@@DanSwinscoeat complete rest, wouldn’t you want to breath mostly through the nose?

Not talking about singing. Talking about creating awareness of what diaphragmatic breathing feels like
I told my girlfriend she needed to breath with her diaphragm. She said she threw it out when she went on the pill.
