Vocal Exercises For A Powerful Voice (With a Straw)

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.

Somehow I feel that this is THE ONLY EXERCISE that truly helps and you can feel the difference in singing RIGHT AWAY. I had a lot of problems with tension. I better keep doing these exercises. WOW!

[milordmilord]

I've been taking singing lessons for two years and I feel that I haven't made any progress.
I will start this exercise today and do it for 30 days. I will come every day to tell you how I am doing, if I improved or not (I need to improve to be able to graduate in August 2023 ie this year).
Today/day 1: it's a challenge🤯
I have done it 2 times today.

Day 1✅
5/3/2023

Day 2 ✅
6/3/2023 🤯

Day 3 ✅
7/3/2023
I notice a great improvement in my shoulders, jaw and neck that were tense. (It is worth mentioning that my voice feels more relaxed when I sang today before doing the exercise) I did it for the third time now.

Day 4✅
8/3/2023
today I did it 3 times, in the morning while I was in the bathroom, in the afternoon at about 1 p.m. and then at 4/5 p.m.
It's amazing this exercise, I don't feel any tension, my voice has more body and I can sing some high notes better.
(Accompanied this exercise with some other exercises from this same channel and other exercises, according to what I think my voice needs).

I drink more water than usual.
I sleep better and I sleep longer.
I also eat better.

Day 5✅
9/3/2023
I did in the morning.
I realized that my voice needed a break.


Day 6 ✅
10/3/2023
In August, God willing, it will be the graduation concert, and I will be practicing every day until then.

I feel like I'm starting over after being so busy these days and can't write down the days I did and didn't exercise.

[ladycharlesmusic]

Why does singing feel so good after doing this? To think I've had straws in my house this whole time and haven't been making V sounds through them!

[jonathanchaplin]

Using a paper straw may not have been the best idea... lol

[itsduck]

Well I've been doing this for about 45 days now and it definitely helped me go much higher, but the best part would really just be that I strain less when singing higher notes. I don't choke as much and that allows me to push further which is where the higher notes really come in.
Definitely recommend this, its probably the best vocal exercise video out there for quick results.

You're an angel!!!You helped me improve a loooot!!❤️

[drtagewach]

This is phenomenal! Been working with this for 5 days now and I have noticed so damn much increase of breathing support and vocal power. Everyone who wants to improve singing skill (fast) should go and get their SOVT Straw asap. I'm totally blown away. Thanks Jacob for pointing out on this 🤩🤩🤩

[ethanznelson]

Reminder that using your head voice is ok! Try to bridge the gap. Also, using a straw with water at the other end is more therapeutic and massaging for your voice while using it dry is more of a workout and stretch.

[Rowizzz]

I just bought my straws~ Doing this everyday starting March 27, 2023:

D1: Done ✅
D2: Done ✅ I notice my jaw tensing by moving forward during the exercises and I mindfully relax it when I feel it. Still cracking my voice at high notes T^T
D3: Done ✅ The glides are more easy now, I don’t crack as much! But I do kinda feel strained after doing it. Maybe the straw is too narrow?

—2 weeks break— gotten so busy but I alwys try to do siren whenever I see my straw.

D4: Done ✅ I feel strained after doing this. Maybe bc it’s been awhile or I am putting too much effort in exhaling thru the straw.

[fergie]

My whole head was resonating...so cool...thank you so much!!

[StellaWolfMusic]

Been doing this for a week with a regular straw and it has worked I was sad about my voice before because it was always to weak and shaky, but not anymore!!! ❤❤

[swethajeevith]

I can't thank you guys enough for how much these exercises helps me. It's been just a week since I started this particular exercise and I've already seen a real good improvement ..Thank you so much❤😄 this has boosted up my confidence on a different level

[slushyslushy]

Going to try this 0:40 (I started this 1 day before making this comment)
Day 59 tip: with the second exercise I found easy for me to breathe after 4 notes
D68 tip: don't practice these w/your chin touching your chest. This is to keep an open throat which = more power
D86 tip: practice gamakas and hum(within your range) if the video is going beyond your range(humming is a recovery exercise)

Day one is done
Day two I needed a break due to doing this once by myself and once with my mother on day one
Day three done
Day four done
Day five done
Day six done
Day seven done
Day eight done
Day nine done(discovered the exercises (mostly the glides) are done easily with the sliding of the tongue down and back and back to it's normal position)
D10 done(figured the abbreviation was more pleasing and suitable)
D11 missed( I was watching a gawr gura stream(she's my inspiration) and i was doing cardio))
D12 done (everything is glides) anyone have any tips for me to improve faster?
D13 done

D27 missed because gura stream went long
D28✔(don't move your tongue forward and back while singing. I made that mistake.)(-chest breath)
D29✔ ✔✔✔✔.1(trying it with a plastic boba straw I got from a restaurant instead of my normal metal straw and it felt weird 1st time around 2nd try it felt more comfortable)(gura seems so far away with that belt from her karaoke stream)(then again I never tried to belt)(.1 because I did the last exercise again)
D30✔✔✔✔✔(may have missed 2 days but still, I finally reached 30days)(currently trying w/water on second try)(I didn't strain my voice on other exercises after doing this 5 times yesterday; I'm doing 5 again)
D31✔✔✔✔✔(almost forgot)
D32✔(gura had an endurance stream)(sucked up some dust through the boba straw. Damn near died)(pushing myself to crack while practicing, I'll update if it helps)

[deanosphenos]

I use this tech in my daily routine. TRULY AN AMAZING WORKOUT FOR EXTREME VOCALS. (This also works with the mouth close to a tight O if you don't have a straw).

[tulip]

omg I was so overwhelmed by the second exerise haha

[arunakumari]

love the straw, my voice doesnt feel strained after practicing now, feels relaxed😊👌🏻😁

[citadeloricks]

Excellent exercises. I now speak with an over emphasized British accent, amazing!

[emlybker]

This is amazing! It felt like I was doing a full on ab workout! This is helping a lot!
