    strengthen vocal chords are drumroll please draw  exercises have you heard about straw exercises if  

  • 01:16

    not no problem I am going to give you some basic  information so that you can start improving your  

  • 01:23

    voice today straw exercises or straw for nation  have many benefits for a singing voice here are  

  • 01:32

    some examples straw exercises are excellent  vocal cord closure exercises so you may use  

  • 01:38

    them to eliminate unwanted breath Ernest straw  exercises encourage legato or smooth singing  

  • 01:46

    because they require a steady air flow during  straw exercises your vocal cords are aligned  

  • 01:53

    well therefore these vocal chord exercises help  erase breaks in voice my favorite benefit is  

  • 02:01

    sound production without muscular and vocal  effort you don't need to press or strain your  

  • 02:08

    muscles to sing therefore these exercises are  wonderful for strained vocal cords but they are  

  • 02:15

    very useful for singer who wants to learn how  to not strain your voice when singing now you  

  • 02:23

    may be asking oh is this possible well here is  the short answer straw exercises are so called  

  • 02:31

    as opt exercises or semi occluded vocal tract  exercises these are exercises during which the  

  • 02:40

    a partial closure or narrowing in the vocal tract  when you produce sounds with an open mouth without  

  • 02:47

    narrowing the vocal cords have to resist the  pressure that is created below them but if you  

  • 02:54

    create narrowing in the vocal tract in the case  of straw exercises the narrowing is at the lips  

  • 03:00

    back pressure is created there's back pressure  above the vocal cords then encourages better  

  • 03:08

    vocal cord position and vocal cord closure sounds  complicated but it really is not if you push too  

  • 03:17

    much air through the vocal cords two things can  happen the vocal cords either cannot resist the  

  • 03:25

    pressure and they leak air and you will sound  breathy or the vocal cords resist this pressure  

  • 03:32

    by tightening which results in pressed for nation  and vocal strain so straw exercises are a great  

  • 03:40

    tool for singers who use either too much or too  little air when singing so what do you need for  

  • 03:48

    this exercise a straw or several straws of  different ways I would encourage you to use  

  • 03:55

    fully biodegradable environment-friendly straws  made of paper straw or bamboo or you can also  

  • 04:03

    use reusable straws made of metal glass or silicon  I also saw singers using bucatini pasta which is  

  • 04:13

    spaghetti like pasta with a hole running through  the middle I personally use straws made out of  

  • 04:20

    actual straw and because they are completely  natural they already come with different ways  

  • 04:27

    if this is your first time doing straw exercises  then experiment with different ways of straws the  

  • 04:36

    smaller the diameter the more challenging task  because the back pressure created by this thin  

  • 04:44

    straw will be larger so pause this video and go  and find yourself a straw I'll wait right here

  • 04:53

    good you are back now let me show you a very basic  straw exercise and if you stay until the end I  

  • 05:05

    will tell you where to get more straw exercises  put the straw in your mouth and make a good feel  

  • 05:13

    of with your lips around the straw don't let the  air escape through the nose or mouth and if you  

  • 05:20

    are not sure if air is escaping through your  nose you can plug it and vocalize in this way

  • 05:29

    use the bell ooh one vocalizing during straw  exercises this vowel will encourage neutral  

  • 05:38

    position of the larynx because the sound with  a straw will never be as loud as the sound with  

  • 05:44

    an open mouth focus on the sensations where do  you feel the vibrations can you hear and feel  

  • 05:52

    the airflow through the straw how much air  do you need can you feel the back pressure  

  • 05:59

    how does it feel now inhale through the nose  and then phonate through the mouth and straw

  • 06:10

    choose a page in your comfortable speaking  range and sustain the sound notice that you  

  • 06:17

    will be using much less air than during  vocal exercises with an open mouth put  

  • 06:23

    a hand in front of this draw and feel the air  coming out if you don't feel the air you are  

  • 06:31

    cutting it off at the level of the vocal  cords also make sure that the air is not  

  • 06:37

    escaping through the nose if it does pinch  your nose and sustain the sound in this way

  • 06:58

    try to make the sound as a resonant as possible  

  • 07:02

    feel the vibrations in your lips  in your soft palate in the straw

  • 07:20

    this is a very basic exercise but  you can use straws for four nating  

  • 07:27

    on any pitch high or low or for  practicing scales and arpeggios
