Singing Through A Straw Can Make You An Awesome Singer (Paperback)

The Book
SOVT (semi occluded vocal tract) exercises have been used by singing and voice teachers for decades. We know that they work, but we don't always know why... Until now! I've written this book to share with you all I know about Straw Phonation, singing straws, vocal tubes, voice straws, and everything in between; including the science and theory behind these transformative techniques, my experiments, data, and exercises, as well as my own protocols for selecting the right straw for you. Understanding the why of SOVT will help you answer the important questions of which straw for which singer, when you should use water and what effect it has, and what changing the diameter or length of the straw does for voicing. I've taken care of the science, made it super accessible, so you can start implementing these techniques straight away!
