I am a 67 year old man with a Pulmonary Fibrosis diagnosis, I sing in a band and I am not sure how long before it really starts affecting me, (I am not fishing for sympathy) your videos have really helped me and I try to do them each night. I just want to thank you young lady for helping me sing my best.

I am recovering from nasty pneumonia- it did a number on my vocals😢 using your videos and singing straw to get my vocals back. Thank you.

3 years later and still have this workout in my routine 💕🥰

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve done it 2 days in a row now and I already noticed an improvement in my voice while singing a particularly challenging song I wrote! These exercises WORK! I also do some lip trills and a couple things I learned from a teacher named Debbie Beinhorn years ago, but those things on their own without this warmup did not help me sing my difficult song. This will be my go-to from now on🙏

[EvinNazya]

This was insanely challenging! You had us up in that scaleee😂 thank you for this! My break was smoothing as the video progressed :)

i’m playing elle in legally blonde and some of the songs are right in my break and this helped so much!!

Thank you for this! Had a morning matinee performance and my voice was hoarse and had a blockage right in the top of my range. This cleared it right up! Felt it clearing as the video progressed. Thank you!

[instrumentalsax]

[matthewcalhoun]

I keep coming back to this one. Thanks, WN!

[RachelZamstein]

how do I know I’m not humming? I can feel the air coming out of the straw but I feel the sound may still be stuck a bit in the hum space, or in my mouth if that makes sense? Trying to gage how much air I should be releasing at each part of my voice it seems to move as the resonance moves.

[mariomorales]

Hey Whitney! I love these no talking videos! I was looking through your videos, and I don’t see any that are for helping pitch, or maybe there is and I just can’t find it? Can you do a video for pitch improvement? Thank you! I love your work! ❤️

[roryhochstein]
