Singing through a straw is very useful in voice habilitation and rehabilitation. Straw phonation follows a subject known as semi occluded vocal tract posture and was introduced to the voice world by a voice scientist named Ingo Titze. The benefits of straw phonation are less effortful singing and speaking, by way of the vocal folds stretching and decompressing. Use straw glides first (starting low in your range and ascending as high as you comfortably can, then returning low), then accent second (soft to loud on various pitches). Put a straw in water and manage your bubbles!

The tuning fork can be used to find those places in our body that don’t easily resonate. To find these places, slap the fork against the palm of your hand, then place the prong end near different parts of your body. You should be able to hear the buzzing of the fork equally. If you can’t hear it, then it’s time to break out the Z-Vibe!

Imagine dehydrated vocal folds acting like sandpaper against sheetrock – it will wear down quickly and abrasively. SO, steam frequently!

A Balance Board is a perfect tool to help singers learn to engage their core muscles. Without connection to our core- our abdominal muscles, lower back muscles, glutes, hamstrings, and pelvic floor- the body has nothing from which to support itself while singing. Try placing a balance board next to a wall or barre and attempt to balance yourself on top of the board. Slowly, begin to take away the support of the wall or barre and see how engaged your core feels!

You can also place the ball at chest level and squeeze the ball between your hands while singing to practice engaging your upper middle back.
