Have you ever experienced raw, tired vocals? Then you need to learn about straw singing, because it really is worth the hype!
Whether your voice is strained from heavy usage or fatigued from an exhausting cold and flu season, straw exercises can help. I recorded this sick, because I thought it would be an ideal time to demo how much straw phonation can help a tired voice!
Straw singing benefits all voices. It's a great therapeutic exercise to add into your daily voice routine, and will help optimize your vocal output. So I recommend including it into your vocal warm-ups even when healthy.
Let me know in the comments if you've tried straw singing before, and whether you think it lives up to its reputation. :)
