Description

This course is an effective training for expanding your vocal range and gaining control over your voice. It’s designed in such a way that you can safely strengthen your voice at home, even if you do not have a teacher. Plus, it’s a quiet practice so you can train anytime and anywhere. All you need is a drinking straw, and a bottle filled with water.

Straw phonation is a well-known training technique among singers. It is loved for its benefits to the voice. And if, in addition to the straw, we use a bottle filled with water, the outcomes are even higher.

Singing through the straw creates additional pressure and space in your throat and mouth so that your voice works in a balanced and efficient way.
