Thank you for this helpful video, it's the second one I've seen of yours and both have been very helpful, especially today as my voice was feeling a bit strained. Love how clear and concise your delivery is and the bit when you asked us to hum a song of choice, actually brought me to an original melody! 😀 You've got a subscriber for life! Thanks so much!
I just tried this exercise along with other singing warm ups, and the change is very apparent while singing high notes! With time, I am hoping these exercises will make sure my high notes don't sound airy haha!
Great question! I'd say that neither is more advanced, just different. A coffee straw or something similar will provide a tremendous amount of back pressure and the user can't push too much air. But I really like that back pressure for working on range and passagio. A bigger straw with less back pressure feels like it needs a bit more of an exacting approach for air pressure to keep the sound steady. If you haven't found it yet, this is my new favorite SOVT.... using a cup with a hole in it! ua-cam.com/video/2zmTfsjBNF4/v-deo.html
I have a question Kathleen. When singing through the straw, is it just basically singing "ooo" not actually trying to force air down the straw? For some reason I seem tempted to do that. I love your videos, thank you!!
Thanks for your question! Yes, singing through a straw can feel SO weird at first...I definitely would encourage folks to think of singing "ooooh"... then, the straw is like an extension of the vocal tract.
Exercises like singing through a straw or through a cup (linked below) will be very similar. If you don't have front/top teeth, then you'll need to substitute some labiodental sounds (like a V) - you can try lip trills, tongue trills, more straw work, hum, or sing on sounds like ng.

Sounds great! Keep at it.
yayyy loved this one!!!
the cats are such a joy hahaha
So glad!
Excellent! Great info and clarification! Thank you, Kathleen!🙏🥰🙃
Glad it was helpful!
Love doing raspberries/lip trills they are great for reducing tongue tension. I sometimes practice these in my lower register to strengthen it.
Yes!
Love this. I like that you are having fun with both the exercise and the video editing!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for your guidance! I just started with you yesterday and I am so hopeful your lessons will help me regain my singing voice!
Glad to hear you're jumping back in!

U GOT MY SUB WHEN I SAW THE ART ON THE PIANO
Grazie❤❤❤

I think you should have done a before and after song to show how the exercises help ;)
Thank you for this! Which is more advanced, a coffee straw or a milkshake straw? Thanks!

@@VocalWarmupsWithKathleen Thank you Kathleen ☺
Can you tell me how not having teeth might affect these exercises?
