YO - my throat feels weird but in a good way. i guess i’ve never been fully warmed up

[MashaZheglova]

I'm loving it so much because I don't wake up anybody warming up at 4 AM 😊

[valerieerickson]

I’ve been singing for a very long time and I’m blown away by this technique! I could feel and hear the difference right away! Warming with a singing straw is my go tool .. it really works!

I decided to take singing lessons a couple of years ago and one of the hardest things was learning to breathe correctly. I must say that since using the singing straw for a few weeks now it is more natural that I sing from my diaphragm. My voice is much smoother and stronger. I was definitely surprised that it had an effect on my voice so quickly. I like this warm up too. Thank you.

I started a couple of weeks ago incorporating my Singing Straws back into my singing routine. I had Band Rehearsal the other night and notice an incredible difference in my tone and delivery. I now use my singing straws while I'm on the stationary bike. Best investment.

I'm actually kinda blown away at how much this has helped me improve!

[maduroholdings]

My teacher has me do a lot of slow glides with the straw it feels like it is really strengthening the weak parts of my voice

After practicing with these videos for a month, I asked for a singing straw for christmas and now only one time after using it my voice feels so much stronger and better!

[anniesherman]

Alrighty. I’m gonna try to learn how to sing again and try not to be so hard on myself. Or cringe when I hear myself. Or sing for the bad reasons. Then maybe I’ll finally share a video of me singing that I like. Once I’m more prepped that is. Here’s to 2021!

[HeyMichaelGarcia]

I’m so excited you have a YouTube series now with the singing straw. I just received my straw a few weeks ago and I was loving the Instagram videos, And now this!!!! Thank you so much Whitney.

I just got my singing straw and I am so excited to be using it! I have sang for years but was diagnosed with a thyroid autoimmune disease a few years back and have noticed my voice fatigues so quickly. I am excited to be using this to improve and start feeling better when I sing again. I love all the warm ups and think I will start incorporating them in the mornings after I steam. Thank you!

[AmandaSnoise]

When I saw you had silicone straws I bought a pack. My voice teacher has me pinch straws to practice with different air pressures. Most silicone straws are way too long and floppy. Looking forward to getting these!

[TullioGomes]

Loved it... I was looking for a short and easy warm up to practice! Thanks!

[bobbybelfry]

I love it! It’s the most productive and effective technique I have ever practiced.

[jifejacobs]

I just got my singing straw and I'm seeing a major improvement already. I love all the exercises!

[beej]

I just used the straw for the first time today. So I have a lot if practice I need to do. I didn't feel any straining in my neck so far so good.

[Paula-pdqv]
