Get More Power and Resonance in your Belt with the Singing / Straw!

[@thatbasicthespian861]

Thank you so much for this!! As a Tenor coming into the world of Musical Theatre, there is such a high expectation to belt super high (A4-C5 in certain cases) and I always worry I am ruining my voice with bad technique. I'll definitely be following these rehearsals (as well as the mixing tutorial) with my Singing Straw Pro!

[@SingingStraw]

Yes!! You got this!!

[@miaolivia4]

Awesome! This is what I’m working on with my voice teacher right now! Can’t wait to do this!

[@SingingStraw]

That's awesome! You got this :)

[@sairoraoni]

Thank you so much for this! Been working on belting with my voice teacher so I'm definitely adding this one to my daily routine.

[@SingingStraw]

So happy to hear that!! Keep us posted on how it goes :)

[@richardwheeler3357]

Great instructions! I appreciate the simple straightforward directions. I would very much appreciate a bass range instructional video if one doesn't already exist. This straw is absolutely amazing for sure. I find it very helpful to transition so far but belting the bass notes seem to not want to project for me like I think I'm capable of doing.

[@SingingStraw]

Thank you for the suggestion! We will make a note of this :) So happy that you are enjoying your straw.

[@emmalangmaid7838]

Omg I was about to ask for this! I recently found my mix and I feel like I can’t do a proper belt anymore, any tips? 🙃

[@SingingStraw]

Ah, interesting - "proper belt" is subjective. Remember, it's all a spectrum, so if you're feeling like your "mix" is too light, try leaning into it more with more vocal fold closure and TA engagement. Squatting or even using an exercise band (stretching it out with your hands while singing) can be helpful!

[@kajemusic514]

i love watching your videos! You are so well-spoken and explain everything very well!

[@SingingStraw]

You are too kind!! Thank you so much! :)

[@lana.9073]

I really appreciate your videos dear Singing Straw Team. I would find it very helpful if the exercise would keep a constant continuous flow. With the instructions in between I tend to lose the rhythm and timing and struggle to match you when we're ready to keep going again.

[@SingingStraw]

Hi Lana! Thank you for this feedback You might enjoy some of my "No Talking" videos. In those exercises, we just go through without talking or stopping!

[@irisodamariamuller]

Thank you!! Do you have this warm up exercise as well as a no-talking exercise?? I’d like to repeat them:)

[@SingingStraw]

Head to our No Talking, Just Exercises playlist! All of our No Talking exercises are listed there :)

Do you have a video where I could learn more of a compression in a sense using the chest or just getting more power in the chest?

[@luliormachea8874]

the video we all needed!

[@SingingStraw]

Question... I do straw exercises every day since discovering the singing straw. It's brilliant! Curious though... I find I don't stay in the my chest voice throughout the warm ups as the scale's climb. Am I supposed to be trying to keep it in my chest, or is switching to my head voice a natural and OKAY thing for growing my range? Seems like I'd want to keep it in my chest for the sake of strengthening my "belt," but I can't seem to do that with the smaller straw. Thoughts??

[@SingingStraw]

Always do what feels best for your voice! The straw will help guide you so don't worry too much about what is "right" or "wrong" just do what feels best and natural - that is always a great place to be!! I hope that helps!

Great! Thank you for this! Question: can the straw help us with improving our Twang? it would be great to see a video about that. Greetings!

[@SingingStraw]

Yes! Video on twang is on my list!

[@t_sh162]

For the second exercise, is it bad if I switch to head voice as I go higher ? After a while I start straining so I have to switch

[@SingingStraw]

Not bad at all, allow yourself to move registers, ultimately you want to strengthen your "head voice" so much that it blends into your "chest voice" - and you have more overlap!

[@lynnrosasmaldonado3037]

Very helpful, thanks 😊

[@BeaSojo]

Could you please give us a video of excersices for belting with no talking? Thank you sou much.

[@SingingStraw]

Thank you for this suggestion! We will make a note :)

[@Aaa-pz6nh]

I just got my singing straws and have been trying to get adjusted to them. It seems that after a certain point in my range I cannot sing in my chest voice. I just switch to mix or falsetto, when in my chest voice I can sustain my chest voice a bit more. Not sure if I'm doing it right any tips??

[@SingingStraw]

Remember that it can take some time to get used to the resistance! Always do what feels best for your voice and use 2 or 3 at a time if needed. Keep practicing! You got this.
