Dayyyyy two... who's with me?

[@hubespeakshermind2408]

Day two done ✅💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

[@user-yq9ji6co3p]

Day 2 complete! Going to keep on showing up and see how much better my voice can become. Looking forward to the journey!

[@marianacarrera9706]

It's amazing how some exercises can do a lot for my voice! Thank you

[@katieellemusic]

Loving the new new, needed a little variety lately. Thanks Lady!

[@vgrimm.realtor]

Much appreciation! Professional auctioneer here. Grateful to find your exercises after suffering a virus and developing (prolonged) laryngitis that has left me with a ragged voice and areas that just puff out all together. Been struggling since Thanksgiving; and today is January 17… Rehabbing my voice with a handout from a speech pathologist and your videos while I recover from unrelated surgery. Thank you for your cheerful and attainable exercises! I left the speech pathologist session feeling defeated and like I didn’t even know how to hum properly! Your videos have kept me on track and assured me that I am doing them correctly! Thank you so much!

[@brendajohnson5525]

I too have suffered with prolonged viral laryngitis for the same period of time and I'm a singer. I thought I would never sing again. Thank goodness for the singing straw. I'm now singing again.

[@SingingStraw]

SO happy to have you here!! Keep up the amazing work!

[@janet2a]

These bite size sessions where the focus is on doing one exercise through, all the way up and down .. totally focussed my mind on being able to let the sensations guide me… and really ‘ feeling’ has taken me a while to access, my sensory awareness in terms of both listening and feeling was not easy to access. The slide at the start is just amazing! I had not valued just that, enough, when I started in your programme.. I just was not ready then to fully appreciate! I do the slide up and down a few times to really feel the highest pitches and then what it is like back down at the lower part of my voice. I note the reminder in these first two exercises to get back down to chest voice, as I know in my singing I have sometimes struggled in songs as I stay too light as I come lower from a high note.. especially in legit musical theatre songs

[@ethanmunnerlyn1972]

Ready to hop into this and start my morning! Just knocked it out! Can't wait for tomorrow!

[@adriennejones503]

Singing before 7:30 AM?! You betcha! Done and done!👍

[@donnapahl1007]

Today’s exercise is one of my favourites. Thank you!

[@jennymotzkus3861]

Day 2 was great. I so need these to help me move forward in my vocal freedom.

[@ArmedandFaithful]

Day two was awesome. Now I am ready for my session today. Thank u and God bless!

[@juliegriffin9962]

Oh, yeah! DONE! I did yesterdays and todays. Todays was more challenging than yesterdays, but I found my voice was more steady afterward.

[@mrderrickleonard]

[@brettdeviney1335]

[@nics8328]

I think my voice was tired from my day before doing this but it feels good to stretch the chords. Great way to get back to singing!

[@brendabrand4435]

I’m a new singer and this has helped me out so much . I CALL IT MAGIC ! Thank you so much !

[@dsofwondersabrina7926]

Hello! Ready for Day 2 I am :-) Let's go!!! Few mins later: it's completed! Loving your sweet support Whitney! Thank You! It's feel great to show up for myself, my voice!

[@burnttoast03]

Day 2 is complete! Added in day 1 to get that extra stretch in. My voice was a bit sleepy this morning but seems to be waking up now!

[@EmilyBahula]

Day 2 is complete!! I did today's exercise late but I'm glad that I got it done and then I went back and did Day 1's exercise. These exercises really help open me up to sing which is helpful!

[@Spitty95]

Just completed day 2 ! Thank you

[@deturcotte]

Did it! ✌🏻

[@Claire_Sentient]

Day 2 done! Thank you so much again 🎶💓🎤💓🎶

[@Sandrahsings]

Done!!!😘

[@Jenobiskywalker]

DONE! 🔥

[@JynniQ]

Day two done!

[@ayurvedayogacenter3827]

Day 2 Done... Love these short videos with powerful exercises. My voice sounds different after...more clear. Thank you, thank you. Question: I had a paralyzed vocal chord 12 years ago due to virus. I lost my voice, all but a whisper for 7 months. My voice came back yet not what it was. Any specific suggestions to help strengthen? Maybe all that we are doing is taking care of that....

[@SingingStraw]

Hey there!! SO glad to have you as part of this challenge. Keep up with daily practice and good vocal care. Healing takes time but you got this! Also, we always recommend checking in with your doctor since everyone's experience is so different and unique!

[@dawncowart4921]

Day 2 complete! Feeling better physically so I was ready!

[@annking6278]

Day 2.. in the books! Actually feel an improvement from yesterday.

[@cliveandersonjr.8758]

Day One and Day Two completed today! I unfortunately missed Day One yesterday but I'm here for the rest of the challenge!

[@AnnaMarieOfficial]

After missing yesterday's challenge (life got busy!), I did Day 2 and 3 in one shot! Definitely more challenging than normal after getting my braces adjusted yesterday… but I did it anyways! 🎉

[@ShaLiLi.t]

Day 2 done!!

[@pinkbunni182]

Done ❤

[@rickgodderis]

[@julrogers]

[@akuaval]

Hey so I just did Day1 and Day 2 cuz I missed yesterday. Day 2 exercise was abit challenging but I managed to whisper through even the highest notes😂. Great workout! Can’t wait for tomorrow.

[@mjwheelie]

done !

[@jamarjamerson2136]

Completed 🎉

[@paulaclark6290]

Where should you feel this in your body when you do the exercise correctly? Is it in the back of the throat, your cheeks, your mouth, all three?

[@deniobrien7486]

Day two completed! Is this a good place to ask a question? Wondering if I should be pushing my voice up into a squeak and down into a growl. I'd like to increase my range but don’t want to cause any damage!

[@babsdiamond]

Done 😃

[@alliyahkowalson4360]

Day 2 complete!

day two done!

[@andreababineaux4991]

Done

[@kevinblanding3053]

Just finished day 2. As a guy with relatively higher range that I want to expand/strengthen, I'm unsure which octave to practice in. Should I work the lower octave where I can complete the entire exercise, or the upper octave which I will have to drop out about halfway in? Or both? :)

[@Melannah1]

Finished day 2!

[@tomreed4348]

Just finished day 2

[@12kevinf59]

Day 2. Whitney, you are like a second cup of coffee in the morning. I don't know where you find all the energy. Day 2 is in the bag.

[@cynthiastevens8367]

Just finished day 2 and it felt so good. Getting the hang of it better now. Please clarify, are we adding each day's challenge to the day before, so doing day one and two today and so forth as we go on?

[@SingingStraw]

Awesome job!! We are just doing each day on their own :) So for today, you will just need to do the day 2 exercise. Hope that helps!

[@cynthiastevens8367]

@@SingingStraw Yes, thank you! I did go back and do day one and was much better at it! Now that I'm getting the "feel" of it :)

[@MsNichols329]

Completed Day 1 - I am new to the Singing Straws world, and I must say that I can definitely hear the change in my voice since I have been using these straws. I am looking forward to continuing with the straws and strengthening my vocals.

[@SingingStraw]

Yay!! So excited for you! Let us know if you have any questions :)

[@debbieditton9918]

Day 2 done. Wow! My voice is not feeling very flexible, so I look forward to the progress. I will make over the next 10 days.

[@kivilikka]

Days 1 and 2 competed. Feels amazing and I’m so excited for the coming exercises and development 😀

[@marielleroberts1009]

worked out today. Super frustrated it's not as easy as it used to be but that's why I am in speech therapy for uneven tension around the cords.

[@SingingStraw]

You've got this! Be patient with yourself and keep up the great work ❤
