🗣️ Today’s exercise is one you literally can’t do too much: the straw technique.
This simple but powerful tool helps reduce vocal strain, improve airflow, and restore a more stable sound — making it especially effective for people with Spasmodic Dysphonia, Muscle Tension Dysphonia, or general vocal tension.
In this video, Drew shares a personal take on the exercise using a sentimental whiskey bottle repurposed as a metaphor for recovery — showing how even everyday objects can carry meaning in your vocal journey.
💡 You’ll learn:
Why the straw technique is safe for daily use
How to posture yourself for maximum vocal benefit
Why making your recovery meaningful can boost your mindset
Whether you're recovering from SD, managing vocal fatigue, or just exploring SOVT (semi-occluded vocal tract) exercises, this is a must-know daily vocal drill.
🎙️ Hosted by: Drew Hanson
