Guys & Lower Voices Singing Warmup - No Talking! (with the Singing / Straw)

[@jeanbrunomartin5984]

Enjoyed that warmup... Thanks!

[@wandajames143]

Please more exercises for guys!

[@dianalynnhoward]

Although my range has increased singing beautiful songs like Anne Murray and getting great applause, this suits here suits me very well because I sing a lot of Tanya Tucker songs and classic rock. I have been told that my voice is what they call contralto. Singing contemporary Christian songs at church are very challenging, and I love those songs. I get to sing every Sunday for the service! I must be doing something right or they wouldn't want me back. Your lessons are great!

[@conraddiehl6888]

This is my first daily warm-up. My go-to. I can breeze through it in ten minutes. And with no talking, it goes very quickly. It helps my ‘find’ my voice. I love the soulful third exercise. Thanks for steam lining it. I have recommended your site to other singers. We are fortunate to have this! 🎶😊

[@SingingStraw]

Thank you so much!

[@Jack-Wrighter]

This is so great! Been doing this warmup consistently for a few weeks now and notice a huge difference! Also discovered a nice trick of wrapping the end of my singing straw with a thin napkin, making sure to not block the hole. This makes it so spit isn't leaking out non stop, and the napkin also moves/makes a sound when blowing through the straw so I can better monitor when I'm pushing more or less air through.

[@SingingStraw]

That's a great idea!!

[@PabloZelaya]

Really enjoy this video!!!! Thank you.

[@SingingStraw]

Thank you Pablo!

[@zubinmowlavi9165]

Awesome!!!

[@SingingStraw]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@conraddiehl6888]

Thank you for this great warm up!

[@SingingStraw]

You're so welcome!

[@chaswood1517]

as a guy, I thoroughly enjoyed this video! lol.

[@SingingStraw]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@aizikfriedman]

Cannot thank you enough for making all of these videos! Do you have any advice for my jaw clenching up on the higher parts? Thanks again!

[@SingingStraw]

Jaw tension is the worst! A little gentle stretch and massage can be helpful, plus giving yourself alternate movements to keep from holding tension, i.e. shaking your head "no" back and forth while singing. Good luck!

[@aizikfriedman]

@@SingingStraw I'll give it a try. Thanks!

[@davirtuoso]

Great warmup video for my voice! That soulful third was a new one for me - it took a bit of adjusting but got there in the end. Added this to my vocal warmups playlist to use more regularly 😁

[@SingingStraw]

Wonderful!! Keep up the great work!

[@zacharygreenberg1831]

Is there an alternative for that last one? I don’t think I can do that one comfortably yet.

[@SingingStraw]

Yes, you can always sub it for another exercise - try any from my other videos!

[@joshuamele3565]

Do you think you could do one that's slower? I have a lot of trouble with breath support.

[@SingingStraw]

You should be able to slow down the video in settings!

[@cathygracecatubay3207]

Your so pretty mam This technique mam can help me to reach the high notes?

[@SingingStraw]

Thank you! Yes, the Singing / Straw can definitely help with high notes, check out this video for some exercises to get you started: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pInbYY1po75qhsk&t

[@cathygracecatubay3207]

Singing Straw wow thank you so much mam🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@billf9847]

What is a good warm up right before a singing audition

[@SingingStraw]

There are so many good ones! Choose a warm-up that best suits whatever song you will be singing! And remember to focus on stretching your voice from the lowest point to the highest it can go. Hope that helps :)

[@FnyBeatsx]

i feel like mostly the second excercise is too high for me, do you have any tips on that. And I'm using 3 straws right know and how long do you think it will take until I can use 2 straws

[@SingingStraw]

Here's a link to a video on some tips for high notes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pInbYY1po75qhsk

[@PegasusLeos444417]

What should I do if I feel two straw is easy for me, I have use two straw for quite a while now, should I reduce to only one straw and what happen after that? Thanks Whitney

[@SingingStraw]

Hi! Yes, I would recommend dropping down to 1 straw to increase resistance! Do you have the S/S original or Pro?

[@PegasusLeos444417]

@@SingingStraw the original one

[@mitchellglass9109]

Do you offer online private voice? Or do you know a voice teacher in Arizona that specializes in singing straw?

[@SingingStraw]

Whitney does teach privately but at the moment her schedule is totally full. She has a studio with 20 amazing teachers that she's personally trained who love singing as much as her, and they offer a free intro lesson (online via zoom). Please send an inquiry at songbirdsf.com/ and they'll set you up! Happy Singing!

[@WayneRemington]

just curious what are the highest and lowest notes in this warmup?

[@SingingStraw]

In that first exercise I started at a C3 and took you up to a C5 - likely stayed around there for the rest as well!

[@billf9847]

How many times a day should you use your straw.

[@SingingStraw]

Just a few minutes each day does the trick! Find what is best for you and your voice :)

Why it is easier to do these exercises on thinner straw than a thicker on?

[@SingingStraw]

It's actually harder to sing with the thinner diameter straws, because they create more backpressure and resistance in the vocal tract - but ultimately that's what is so beneficial, so while the thinner straw can feel more challenging, it's giving you more of a benefit!

[@matrix-_-360]

@@SingingStraw i think i was using the thicker straw without closing it half at the end of it ,that is why I thought it is harder

[@instrumentalsax]

Bonus after Day 3 Challenge

[@FnyBeatsx]

this is still to high and have to do everything in my head voice

[@FlameOfAnor86]

Is it normal for my cheeks to want to puff out? Should I try to avoid that?

[@SingingStraw]

It's totally okay for cheeks to puff out! It does not make a difference and is just a personal preference :)

[@wandajames143]

Is this the same as the June 8th male non binary? I love this with no talking!
