Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf for the last days :)
woohoo vocal longevity! i wrecked my vocal cords two weeks ago for a gig from being sick then overpracticing to compensate for the lost rehearsal time, but i was out of commission for a week. now i know better and will use this to give my voice some extra tlc. thanks!
your videos are amazing! Vocalists, please do this. I just had vocal nodules and am recovering. This literally made my voice FEEL better AND sound better.
I sing in a metal band and I did this right after practicing fry/false vocal fold screams and it really helped to reset the voice. Especially when you use the right muscles. Great cooldown!
I honestly really gotta thank you whitney. I dont use the singing straw exclusively, but the benefits I see when I do all my regular daily workouts, and then use your warmup video with the straw right before singing? Absolutely amazing. I hope your channel continues to grow and you keep making videos because they truly are gems.
I definitely am adding these vocal Cool downs to my routine. Thank you so much! I I'm working on becoming the best vocalist I can become so I can get my first gig. using your techniques and warm-ups etc being added arsenal for my training toolkit on top of everything I'm already working on. So thank you so much I have already watched five of your videos and I Incorporated your cool down. I noticed that I definitely need that because right in where my larynx and down in towards where my Adam's Apple is it's extremely tight I almost sound nasally now I wonder if that means I have a cold I think I might have a cold I don't know 🤣🤣🤣 but I definitely found out that my range is absolutely insane I'm actually a tenor but I have tenor/base voice type... Thank you Whitney! 🙏❤️
Cool down would come at the end of your day or after your last performance. Just a few easy glides/slides downward to let go of any tension you're holding onto!
Are there any specific exercises that I can do with my singing straw that help with staying “in the right key” or help train your ear to sing in the desired key (within reason) or pitch? I do believe the singing straw is making my voice stronger and I believe my “internal pitch” (what I think I am hearing versus what is actually coming out, lol) is improving as I continue to strengthen my voice. I record myself sometimes to see if what I am hearing (internally) is what my desired sound is on the recording. It is sometimes hit and miss. I try to perform songs (acoustic guitar solo gigs) that are reasonably within my range. However, even then, sometimes I’m a little flat. Thanks for your help with this. I love my SInging Straw!
YES! All ear training exercises work really well with straw phonation and can be even more effective than your usual vowel/consonant work because you are getting the extra ease from the straw. I'll make a note to cover this in an upcoming UA-cam!
This is gonna be such an odd question, but sometimes the muscles around my mouth twitch and "shiver" involuntarily when using the straw... is this normal??
Not odd, that can happen sometimes - I would encourage you to experiment with puffing your cheeks, and maybe also try blowfish (straw without straw) to get more relaxation in those muscles. Could also be good to alternate straw and lip trill until it gets more chill. Good luck!
I got a better handle on what it is that I was trying to ask; - When I have 8 or 9 second breaks (a couple bars) in the middle of songs that have very high notes, are there studies showing that it helps to sneak in some quick mid range sighs for example , to recover, for the next line or is it better to just do nothing for those few seconds ? - Also during 1 to 3 or even 10 min breaks between songs or sets, are there studies indicating that sighs or descending exercises of any sort, are better than just not using the voice, in order to be best prepared to continue singing?

I'm literally looking at this because I just finished a brutal screaming session too haha
Felt much better after doing this routine after talking loudly in a bar all night. Thanks.
YES! That's what I'm talking about - take care of your voice!

That is wonderful to hear Robbie! I love it! Keep up the great work :)
Got my singing straw today! Noticed an immediate difference in tone and feeling in my body right away! Thank you, Whitney!
Wonderful! I love to hear that!
Don't know what i would do without your videos and singing straw. I rely on them before and after a performance. Love this cool down. Thank you!!
Thank you Shem - so glad you're enjoying the workouts!
My voice already feels better after my practice! Thank you :))

COOL DOWN ADDED! Thank you for the idea and instruction! Truly amazing!
You are so welcome!
Thank you this is so helpful! Blessings and gratitude 💗🙏🎵🎶
So glad it was helpful!
I like the cool down - just did it after my Day 4 workouts - the original Day 4 video, plus the Belting video. Whew!
I definitely am adding these vocal Cool downs to my routine. Thank you so much!

You're so welcome! Keep up the great work!
thank you for helping me with my homework
Thanks for making such great content Whitney! Is there a no talking version of the cool down?
Not yet - I'll make a note!! Thanks for being here :)
Wow! Tension is gone! Freeeedom!
YAYY!!!
Appreciate this so much! Subscribed! :)
Awesome, thanks so much Victoria!
Sweet! Thank you so much for this.
Yay Mike, glad to know you're singing along!
sooooo comfortable
❤️❤️
Love the “cool down”
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Cooling down after a practice session now.
If you've been singing really high, do you recommend starting at a higher pitch for the slides and descending scales?
Yes definitely Maya. I'd start right smack in the middle of where you've been vocalizing and work your way down. Great question!
Thanks you so much for this! Really helpful!!
So glad it was helpful! :)
What do you suggest for cooling down if we have multiple performances or practices a few hours apart? Love your videos! You’ve help me A LOT!!!
Cool down would come at the end of your day or after your last performance. Just a few easy glides/slides downward to let go of any tension you're holding onto!
Thank you very much! :)
You're welcome!
Nice video! It help me a lot
Glad it helped!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
This is great 👍

Where could I get this straw?

Is a metal straw the same thing as a metal straw and do they do the same thing?
Our straws coming in specific sizes to help you practice with more resistance! You can read more about it here singingstraw.com/pages/learn
What can we do between songs and
between sets to save and recover
our voice during a gig (rock) , just rest
it or do some cool downs?
I love a good downward slide as a cool down in between sets!
@@SingingStraw Thanks much.
I got a better handle on what it is that
I was trying to ask;
-
When I have 8 or 9 second breaks (a couple
bars) in the middle of songs that have very high
notes, are there studies showing that it
helps to sneak in some quick mid range sighs
for example , to recover, for the next line
or is it better to just do nothing for those few seconds ?
-
Also during 1 to 3 or even 10 min breaks between
songs or sets, are there studies indicating
that sighs or descending exercises of any sort,
are better than just not using the voice, in order to
be best prepared to continue singing?
Has the "cool down no talking!" video been deleted? :(
Oh I don’t think I had a cool down no talking yet!
@@SingingStraw I love this cool down so much! Thank you 💓One without talking would be really appreciated though as I really enjoy the warm up version. Thanks again 🙏💕
Do you give lessons?
I do! At the moment my 1-1 sessions are full, but I am just launching a bootcamp for singers this month - you should join! www.becomeabettersinger.com/

1:10 starts cool downs
Thank you!!
Is this legit? Why is the website not optimised for cell phones?
It should be! Did you go to singingstraw.com ?
@@SingingStraw Yes and it made me want look elsewhere for similar product because your webpage is all messed up for cell phones.
So I bought the sing ring instead.
