S/S Challenge Day 3 - January 2023

[@SingingStraw]

Woot woot! How are y'all feeling today? 👇

[@chrishellelaniece9175]

AWESOME!!! Day 3 complete!

[@Timberwolf4565]

Day 3 in the books had so much fun

[@jackmagradey5372]

Love the vibration from the straw in my throat on the low notes. Now to stop the flip from chest to head!

[@harpergirll414]

This is very helpful and so fun!

[@dougfig]

Love this slower exercise. Really helped me feel when my voice wanted to 'flip' during the assent and 'stretch' at the top. Interesting how coming down felt very different than going up. Thanks, as always!

[@juliegriffin9962]

Holy moly! I love these! 1,2, & 3. DONE! My voice is feeling more free tonight. Happy Dance!💃

[@JynniQ]

Day 3 is complete! Upper range feeling less strained already! Stacking exercises is helping.

[@LaRueOnline]

Loving this challenge!!! Day 3 caught up and done! ☑️

[@TVLIYAmusic]

Day 3 done! Doing these in the morning feels so much better than at the end of the day when my voice is already tired

[@LaLulu1204]

Day three, feeling steadier and loving the exercises.

[@lisaphillip8771]

Thank you! The straw has transformed my voice over the last year.

[@jamieb7342]

I've been practicing everyday and have noticed a difference!

[@sistert58]

I’ve been using your other videos prior to the challenge and I’m enjoying that for this challenge you are doing a little more talking since I’m relatively new to using SS 🙂 Day 3 done. The other day I was letting my son use one of my straws to one of your KZbin videos and he could feel the difference so he is getting a set of his own for me for his birthday!!

[@Claire_Sentient]

I think I learned the most about my voice so far with this particular exercise (e.g., where in my range my vibrato is most controlled and strongest). That immediate feedback that I could sense and interpret was awesome. I also have to say I so appreciate the opportunity to do a shortened course, focusing on a day-by-day format, because I feel less overwhelmed than I did by the weeks that were ahead of me in the full course (I did not get past two weeks). I am learning that's a big part of my challenge--to commit and do one step at a time. I love singing and playing guitar, but achieving all the steps to becoming as proficient as I wish to be becomes my focus, as opposed to just doing the thing because it's one of my lifelong passions. I really appreciate getting the chance to hack my brain into reframing the experience. Thank you so much again for this supremely accessible chance to learn and improve in so many areas at once!! ✨️🎶✨️

[@pamwiley1609]

all good. Thanks for the slow pace, the explanations, and the suggestions to vary the exercise.

[@linellaraff1593]

😊Day 3 done and extras…Happy to be back on track. Much more clarity after these exercises..

[@raystokes7638]

Enjoying the singing straw Old man singing bass, my voice cracks going up but I stay with the exercise into falsetto and it does not crack coming down. My voice feels free, full and clearer pitch. Thanks!

[@SingingStraw]

Yay!! So happy to hear that! Keep up the great work :)

[@ScoobyDooDoo415]

Done Day 3 7/6/23 Mid Year Dedication

[@yanisperret1171]

Day 2 and 3 done in France. I really appreciated all the positive vibes and words you shared. Thank you so much !!!

[@12kevinf59]

3 days in. Feels good to just this little bit to keep my voice in shape.

[@JanSeides]

OK. Day 3 is on the books. Loving this.

[@JHoraceB]

Day 3 Sunday Review Completed at 152pm ET 22 Jan 23. Feeling More resonant, relaxed, more ease in my voice 😊

[@itsdennishull]

Another great exercise! Having some congestion & nasal issues that made it a little harder but stuck with it and my voice feels warmed up!

[@ArmedandFaithful]

Had long day, but I just did my day 3. Whew. Voice is feeling tight but good. Thank u

[@Indy_View]

Definitely feeling that beautiful vibrato in my voice doing this one 🤎

[@itsjust_christa]

Day Three Done! I do these in the evening, and it's a perfect cool down from the day and aids in my nighttime creativity =)

[@burnttoast03]

Day 3 done! Such a great way to start my morning and really wake up my voice. Thanks for the motivation to stay accountable and do something for myself before the start of the day!

[@gretchenhunt712]

Day three done! 🎉 My voice is changing as I’ve been consistent using my singing straw. Love the effective simplicity of this!

[@sassysatya2703]

Day 3 Completed! Enjoyed the exercising with intention. Working ok my vibrato and happy it was coming out with this exercise! 💃🏻

[@karenkiely4270]

Day 3 all done!! Working on my vibrato on the higher notes. Thank you.

[@ceciliasaprettyname]

Feeling good. I might have to do these later in the day. Thought these would be good morning warmups, but my voice needs more time in the am.

[@Melannah1]

Finished day 3! It’s interesting how the sensation changes as I mob through my range. I can tell I hang out in alto the most I. My usual singing.

[@timarismith09]

Done. I can definitely feel where I've been using my middle voice pretty hard (I sing in a rock band) and I'm excited to see how these exercises help me keep my power and dexterity through my range

[@ScoobyDooDoo415]

Ayyyeee Second Round - Day 3 - Hi & Low registers Done ✅ 7/27/23 Mid Year Dedication! Yesterday was crazy, Life happens but Let's goooo!!!!

[@adriennejones503]

Singing in the morning, singing in the evening, singing in the car! I love the spontaneity of the singing straw.

[@SingingStraw]

Love this!

[@missnikkigiron]

Day 3 done!! I did the medium straw and small straw and switched between the two to challenge myself today 😊

[@brendabrand4435]

Day 3 done I am feeling so much better about my voice ! Thanks you so much for your time you are amazing !!

[@ScoobyDooDoo415]

Done 👍🏼✅ What I've learned is to try to start these exercises right below my first "breaking point," or the point where I'd crack, and smooth it out with these exercises. It's like ironing out a stubborn wrinkle. (It takes time and focus) Haha! For me, if I start high, I don't address the issue. By starting an octave lower, I'm able to address and correct it, then proceed. #BabySteps #Crawl2Walk

[@brettdeviney1335]

Day 3 done! I have to drive a decent distance for my job in the morning, so I love being able to combine days while I'm driving (while still being safe🤣)

[@lorigill6834]

Day 3!! Keeping in shape.🎶

[@Fan.of.TOH.]

Thank you for this challenge. It is keeping me accountable to be doing these exercises.

[@SingingStraw]

You're so welcome! Thank YOU for joining us!

[@jorireijonen7113]

Thanks for another great exercise

[@katemasterson3568]

days 2 & 3 done :) i noticed how much more difficult the vibrato was with the straw! my vibrato is there but pretty artless and i can tell this is going to really help me control it and make it sound better and more powerful

[@barbfw1116]

Day 3 done. Whitney, thank you for your positive energy and enthusiasm!

[@SingingStraw]

Awww you're so welcome! :)

[@powercoachjen]

Almost went to bed and got up to do day 3. Thank you for making it so doable!!!

[@MartaSears]

I just completed day 3's workout. Thank you!

[@dawncowart4921]

Day 3 done! I changed my straw size today thinking I'd have an easier time, and it was less challenging...TOO easy...lol

[@robincoffelt9884]

I am amazed at how strong my voice feels after doing these exercises! Thank you so much!!!

[@deturcotte]

Day 3 done! I can already hear and feel the difference in my voice. ❤️

[@SingingStraw]

YAY!! Keep up the great work!

[@Almasdelritmodance]

Done ✔️ This is just great!! I'm feeling good every day 😌

[@srudinoff]

Loving this challenge - thanks Whitney!

[@dianemolinaro1203]

Day Three complete and Wow- the sustain is soooo nice to relax into the note! Feeling like my voice is really nicely warmed up, loose and relaxed. :D

[@sarahoblova674]

Done, thank you so much!😊Greetings from Czechia

[@Jenobiskywalker]

Did all three days today and I’m feeling really good! 🔥

[@SingingStraw]

Yesss!!!

[@ellawhettingsteel2821]

Feeling fab doing this after a day of drama school 👍🏻

[@deborahjones8761]

After a later start due to illness I’m finally enjoying this challenge and have always liked your tutorials Whitney!

[@AnnMaritamusic]

Day 3! Taking things a little bit easy today, had a late rehearsal last night, but straw phonation is a great way to recover.

[@lisapforr8228]

Singing along

[@LB-gl8gy]

Day 3: ✅ and feeling a little more stronger ~ 😃

[@adriennen6433]

Doubled up on day 2 and 3 this evening. These exercises do remind me of how to let my breath carry the voice and how the spin or vibrato will come on its own.

[@christineeldridge2768]

Day 3 completed. Feeling great! 🎉

[@tomreed4348]

Finished Day 3. Being retired from worship leading, haven't sung in over a year. Trying to get voice back in shape. It's like I'm starting from the beginning. Upper break is terrible. Gets frustrating but not giving up.

[@gregstrawn3721]

Day 3 completed. Felt better about my technique today.

[@SShack92]

Doneeee 👏🏻😁 Loving these exercises!!!

[@veronicaantico7819]

doubled up today!! i missed doing it yesterday so i did day 2 and 3 today. my issue is really in my middle range as i haven’t sang for years or even talked due to a lot of years isolated and silenced. So my speaking voice is lower an I break in middle range. I still need the 2 straws because just one is too difficult for me. I get easily dizzy too. I need to get back on my music career and I have not much time left to take of charge of it .. thank you Whitney.

[@SingingStraw]

Love that you are doing what is best for you and your voice! Keep up the great work! :)

[@nadiamoiseyeva9819]

Third Day! Nailed it!

[@pamelazakrzewicka978]

[@FawnFritzen]

Woooo, that felt great! 🎉

[@hellou27]

Day 3 done and Done!

[@aquakultre2087]

I always feel great after these videos. My voice feels like it's where it needs to be vocally, and when I'm speaking. Thanks for Day 3

[@AnnaMarieOfficial]

Day 3: Let's get it! :) 10 minutes later I've completed Day 3's video! This challenge is honestly such a game-changer on so many levels... both in terms of improving my vocal range/stamina, and also holding myself accountable! Thank you Whitney; this is the perfect way to kick off the new year!

[@SingingStraw]

Yassss!!!!

[@UpintheAirTV]

Done with about half an hour to spare!! I am so tired but proud of myself for getting it done ❤

[@janet2a]

I echo Anna Marie above! The 10 minuteness , single exercise down mindfully and well is soo unexpectedly beneficial! I have caught up now after a busy start to my week, and was happy to be able to access every pitch… and felt so hoof afterwards I was doing these three sessions at the end of my day, when my voice will have been warmer. I am going to go back and repeat them shortly in my early morning and see if I can feel the difference. Looking forward to Day 4 ❤

[@instrumentalsax]

Day 3

[@jodeeh1675]

Day 3 done & this is really great! I think I can feel the difference already. It really helps reduce the tightness I often feel.🫰
