Thank you, Preston”
If you have a wide vocal range, you might be able to relate to this.
It can feel like a blessing and a curse—straddling two completely different vocal worlds.
On one hand, you want to hit those deep, rich lows with ease, and on the other, you want to soar to higher notes with the same smooth control.
But finding a way to truly develop both of those areas can be tricky.
When your range spans so many registers, it can be hard to feel fully “locked in” with one sound.
You want to get the best of both worlds, but figuring out how to train both your low and high registers together can seem like an impossible task.
That’s where the Singing / Straw comes in.
The Straw: Your Roadmap to Consistency Across the Range
The beauty of the Singing / Straw is that it helps you connect with your voice in a way that doesn’t force it.
If your range spans from baritone to countertenor (or anywhere in between), you need a tool that helps you build both strength and control in equal measure—and that’s exactly what the straw does.
When you’re transitioning between vocal registers, things can get tricky. The lower notes need strength and stability, while the higher ones need more control and support.
The Singing / Straw helps you build both in a balanced, healthy way.
1. Feel the Connection Between Your Registers
The straw gives you real-time feedback.
As you sing through it, you’ll feel the pressure in your vocal folds—whether you’re working in your lower or higher registers—and this feedback helps you develop control.
It’s like setting a roadmap for where your voice truly resonates.
You'll begin to feel when you’re crossing into that "sweet spot" where your voice feels most aligned.
2. Focusing on Airflow, Not Just Sound
The key to unlocking your sweet spot is managing airflow.
The straw helps you stabilize your airflow and pressure across your entire range.
The more you practice with it, the easier it becomes to navigate that transition zone—the passaggio.
As you work with the straw, you’ll begin to feel where your voice “opens up,” and that’s where you’re connecting to your voice’s true sweet spot.
3. No More Forcing Between Registers
Instead of pushing hard into your lower notes or straining for those high notes, the straw creates a balanced back pressure that gives your vocal folds the right support.
This means no more forcing or straining.
You’ll get to practice evenly using your voice, without pushing one range too hard at the expense of the other.
4. Build Strength Without Sacrificing Range
It’s easy to get stuck focusing on just one side of your voice—whether that’s your low notes or your high notes—because that’s what feels most natural.
But with the Singing / Straw, you can train both—simultaneously.
This tool helps you build strength across your range and smooth out any weaknesses in between your lower end of your range and the higher end.
You’ll begin to find a smoother transition, creating that consistent, full sound no matter where you land in your range.
In Short: Get to Know Your Voice from the Inside Out
With a wide vocal range, it’s easy to feel like you’re divided between two voices.
But the truth is, your voice is a whole instrument. The Singing / Straw™ helps you bring it all together by giving you the tools to feel and understand your voice in a whole new way.
By the time you get comfortable using the straw, you’ll know exactly where your sweet spot is.
It’ll be the place where your voice feels connected, powerful, and balanced—without forcing it.
If you're ready to finally make your full vocal range feel like one seamless, powerful sound, try the Singing / Straw today and see how it helps you unlock the potential of your voice.
Ready to Find Your Sweet Spot?
Happy singing,
