    Latest blog post

    Free download: Exercise to warm up, cool down and develop the voice with a straw.

    The vocal straw technique that every creative should know. The voice is one of the most important creative tools for singers, actors, broadcasters, teachers and content creators. Through it we express emotions, communicate ideas and build presence. However, we often forget to take care of it and prepare it properly before and after using it. Therefore, we offer you a free resource designed to help you work on your voice in a simple, safe and effective way: a straw exercise, also known as straw phonation. It is an accessible technique, easy to apply anywhere and widely used in professional vocal training to warm up, cool down and develop the voice without forcing it. In this article we explain what this exercise is, why it works and how to integrate it into your daily vocal routine. [What is the straw exercise and why does it work? 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. It is recommended for both beginners and experienced vocalists, and can be used before singing, recording, teaching or also as a cooling down exercise at the end. What's included in the free download The free download includes a clear and visual guide with the exercise explained step by step, so you can practice it without complications. In the resource you will find: Detailed instructions to correctly perform the straw exercise. Specific indications to use it as a warm-up, cool-down or vocal training. Practical advice on recommended duration and frequency. Common mistakes to avoid so as not to strain your voice. It is designed so that you can easily incorporate it into your daily life, even if you only have a few minutes.
