How do Straw Exercises Help the Voice Get Better?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- With normal voice production, the lungs push air between the vocal cords causing them to vibrate. In order for vibration to occur, enough air pressure must also develop below the vocal cords. Known as subglottic pressure, there needs to be a match between this pressure and how tightly the vocal cords are positioned together. Vocal problems and fatigue occur when there is a mismatch or imbalance between the subglottic pressure and the vocal cords which are closed together against this pressure.
Vocalization through a thin straw puts the vocal folds in the most optimum position and shape for vibration. Known as semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT), this is accomplished by creating pressure above the vocal cords to partially negate the pressure from below.
As such, voicing becomes easier with the better position and shape of the vocal folds, especially to help start a clear easy sound whether the vocal cords are too stiff, or too tight from muscle tension dysphonia, or whether they are swollen due to inflammation. Furthermore, a strong clear voice can be sustained for longer periods of time without fatigue.
A regular drinking straw can be used at first, but as one gets proficient in these exercises, the goal is to use a 3-4mm diameter straw that is 5 inches long.
Depending on the vocal issue present, the diameter can also be varied. The more tight or pressed the voice, use a thinner or longer straw. The more breathy the voice, a wider or shorter straw can be used.

I love the animation and breakdown of how everything works. Thank you
Yesss same! ❤️🔥
I need this for real, my voice is low and it gets tired easily so my throat muscles hurt, it's worse if I try to speak louder because it feels like I'm forcing it, well I need to see a speech therapist 😢
(I edited to make it more clear)
Flex your ABS and relax your throat
@@drake4611 I'll try it, tks :)
low as in deep?
@@naegleriafowleri2230 I mean like "low volume" it's not deep since I'm a girl

Thanks for the concise, clear demonstration of how SOVT exercises with straws work for the voice! I will be sharing.
Awesome, thank you!
I need these exercises and some speech therapy. When I try to speak my voice sounds constricted. It’s as if I’m lifting something really heavy and trying to speak at the same time, but it mostly happens when I am anxious. Sometimes I will try to say a word and my throat just closes and I can’t speak or I speak but my voice sounds so forced people can’t understand me. Sometimes it feels like I run out of air but I will take a deep inhale before trying to speak and it doesn’t help. Other times it feels like something in the back of my throat gets paralyzed and I strougle to speak.
It sounds like spasmodic dysphonia. My husband has this, and his voice sounds like what you've described.
@@MsMorganGirls How did he get diagnosed? if you don't mind me asking. I've gone to my doctor, a social anxiety therapist and a neurologist and they haven't diagnosed me. They just give me muscle relaxers and epilepsy medication because I also get spasms and muscle twitches in my throat muscles and soft pallet and in my tongue, but the spasms only happen when I relax my body, so when I'm trying to sleep for example. when I was searching the symptoms I thought it was some type of myoclonus, but my neurologist hasn't diagnosed me with anything yet she still doesn't know what my speech issue and muscle spasms might be.
@i0073 He went to a ENT doctor, who did an endoscopy and saw the problem. There was no mistaking something was wrong with his voice. There are three different kinds of spasmodic dysphomia, and some online research can tell you what type you have, where some sounds are harder to make. Speech therapy can help, and when he was diagnosed, they were using Botox injections. RFK, Jr., has this, and I think Glenn Beck has it, too.
@@MsMorganGirls I’ve been trying to get my primary doctor to refer me to an ENT, but he doesn’t want to, he seems convinced that it’s all related to social anxiety or some type of epilepsy. I think the best thing for me to do is change my primary care doctor and try to get them to refer me to an ENT because even when I am not anxious I struggle to speak. Thank you, I will definitely try to see an ENT and also get some speech therapy.
@i0073 there are examples of sounds that are easy and hard to make if one is experiencing dysphomia. They're available online. It may allay your concerns or persuade your doc.

Es una gran labor hacer estos vídeos explicativos, imaginen a uno realizando por más de 25 años ejercicios de paja de forma incorrecta 😂😂😂.
Theory suggest that flutists will be the best singers😅
in what way?
Так и есть,духовики не плохо поют
It's blowing while making a sound. Not just blowing through the straw.
I'm not a flutist but I'm a chorister and this skill has really become helpful. especially for who has a weak voice like me.

Will this exercise make my voice stronger to push my vocals
Yes
😂😂😂No. Ask a real voice teacher. Not a ENT. ENTs don't knowhow to sing
@@aileenkapphahn1015you do realize that ENT's are medical specialists don't you? While a voice coach can teach how to sing and how to care for your voice their specialty isn't throat health. They're not medically trained at all in any aspect and in fact will suggest people seek an ENT should they develop issues with their throat.
@@aileenkapphahn1015singers do use straws and it can help some people produce more balanced sound, breath support and tone but is definitely not a fix all, crutch, or guarantee it will fix ur specific challenges.
Yes but No. your Voice’s loudness isn’t the point.
Endurance and Purity is the point.
THOSE are “strong voice” traits not just “can I sing louder if I use straw phonation”
I'm just wondering why the more tight or pressed the voice use a thinner or longer straw. But the more breathy the voicea wider or shorter straw can be used.
I would guess that a thinner straw would provide more back pressure or resistance, which would cause the throat to open up more and correct the tightness of the voice. Whereas a straw with a wider diameter would provide less back pressure and perhaps cause the throat to open up a little less.

I didn't quite understand. Are you trying to increase the air pressure above or below the vocal cords, or both areas? On second viewing, I think the object is to increase pressure *inside* the vocal cords. By increasing it above (after) the vocal cords, it keeps the pressure inside the vocal cords higher, longer.
Thanks, im going to try
Благодарю!
😍🙋♀️🤩
リップロールとかストローがなんで発声にいい影響を与えるのか気になってたけど，声帯の下から来る過度な空気圧の影響で上手く動かなくなった声帯に対して，口から出る呼気量を減らして声帯より上の空気圧を高めて下からの空気圧を打ち消すことで，声帯の動きを整えるのか．
Gracias, lo voy a intentar aunque diosito no se enorgullewasca

Does this exercise help vocal nodules or should I be doing it if I have got vocal nodules?
I'm not an expert, but if you have vocal nodules, I would follow your ENT's advice. You could get a second opinion if you want to be sure. If you haven't seen an ENT for a formal diagnosis, I would highly recommend that. If you have vocal nodes, depending on how far along they are, you may be able to reduce them and eventually get rid of them through exercises given to you by a speech therapist.
You only have one voice, and once it's gone, it's gone. Take care of it, and yourself, stranger!
I have noticed that my voice is changing and I'm wondering if exercise can help, I'm 63 .
jajajaja que rayos rl título en español? 😂
This is very interesting
This is silly. It simply trains constrictor muscles and closes the throat. The best way to effectively use sub glottic pressure is to have well developed registration, meaning well developed intrinsic and extrinsic laryngeal muscles responsible for closing and stretching the vocal cords. Proper tuning of the pharynx to the fundamental is also essential. The straw technique develops mouth resonance, entirely the opposite of what you want. It is good for small white/thin voices.
감삼니다

Can this help stuttering??
Yes.

I use this straw breathing method as a way to convince smokers to quit! I suggest they breathe only through the straw for 5 minutes several times a day then explain that over time smoking cigarettes can cause lung cancer or emphysema which greatly diminishes the lung capacity leaving them short of breath. It actually works to convince them to quit smoking.
What does this exercise do?
I can't find any 4mm wide metal straws to buy though, only 6mm ones :(
Thanks now I can scream like a demon bc I just scream a lot

Que mala elección de palabras
I’m not really seeing a difference between these diagrams 😭 I don’t get it. I just want a visual of what back pressure is. I have and love my straws but I want to understand what is happening.

The subglottic pressure you mean? When you breath normally, the vocal cords totally relax and fully open, therefore, no pressure exists, and no sound is created. The more the vocal cords close, the more pressure is created by the air flow going between the gap made by the 2 vocal cords. When you sing with proper techniques, the pressure is enough to vibrate the cords but the air flow can still move pass the vocal cords comfortably. When you sing with bad techniques (no support from the diaphragm, no naturally positioned larynx), the vocal cords open more, the air escapes more easily, thus, if you want to increase the volume, you have to constrict the muscles around your larynx to tighten the vocal cords, and if you overdo it, the cords will rub against each other plus the pressure below them is dangerously high, you'll ruin your voice.

This video is an add. There is no value in using any straw other than the cheap plastic straw typically referred to as a coffee straw.
