The straw exercise is part of the vocal tract semi-occlusion techniques. It consists of emitting sound through a straw while controlling breathing and vocal cord vibration. By partially reducing the air output, a balanced pressure is generated that helps the vocal folds vibrate more efficiently and relaxed. This produces several key benefits: Allows the voice to warm up safely, without harsh impact. Helps release accumulated tension in the neck, jaw and larynx. Improves resonance and vocal control, favoring a more stable sound. Reduces the risk of vocal fatigue after intense sessions of voice use.
