By now you’ve probably heard about Straw Singing – all these YouTube voice teachers and IG singing influencers posting videos about how it will save your voice.
Some are even selling $75 “special” singing straws!! (don’t get me started).
Now, working with straw exercises can be helpful to alleviate tension and vocal fatigue. . . .BUT. . . .the reason why I think it’s complete BS and why I’m not hopping on the Straw Singing bandwagon is because it’s a BANDAID on a MOSQUITO BITE.
Why, you ask?
Because it doesn’t address the real problem!!
There’s so much bad information – and “fad” information – out there and I don’t want you to be
misled.
So this Thursday I went LIVE in my FB Group (The Pro Singer Success Collective) to give you some real information about Straw Singing.
We talked about:
- What Straw Singing is, why people use it and why it’s useless for singers who care about the health and longevity of their voice and their careers.
- AND what you should be doing instead.
If you weren’t able to tune in for the live broadcast on FB, you can watch right here!
If you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to post below and I’ll be sure to answer you.
(And in the meantime, if you’re one of those people who bought a $75 straw, I’ll send you the recipe for a great margarita!!)
Sending love!
Hi – I can’t find a link to the ‘Why Straw Singing is Total B.S.’ Facebook video – does it still exist?
Hi Maxine, thank you for letting me know the link in the post wasn’t working. It should be fixed now. But just incase, here’s the direct link: https://youtu.be/JeXLDIcu8rw
