Singing Straw Original vs PRO vs Sili: Which Straw Set is Right for You?

I think it’s fair to assume that you’re here because you’ve at least heard about singing through a straw. 

Maybe you’re already intrigued by the Singing / Straw™ and wondering, “Which one of these sets should I be using to give me the best bang for my vocal buck?”

Don't worry, I’ve got you covered.

Here’s the breakdown of each Singing / Straw set so you can figure out which one suits your voice best. 

We’ll talk about the Original, the PRO, and the Sili, because hey, it’s not just about using any old straw. We’re in this for results – and you need the right tool for the job.

Singing Straw Original – The Perfect Starter Kit for Vocal Newbies 🎶

Let’s start with the Singing / Straw ™  Original. 

This is your gateway straw – the one that opens up a world of vocal freedom. 

If you’re brand new to vocal exercises and need a solid foundation, this is your go-to. It comes with three 3mm metal straws, giving you the option to stack them for a stronger workout if you want to really push your limits.

Why 3mm? 

It’s like the Goldilocks of straw diameters – not too big, not too small, just right for most singers. 

It's enough to give you some resistance to work those breath support muscles without making you feel like you're trying to sing through a coffee stirrer (not that you'd want to, trust me). 

If you're just starting your vocal journey or getting back into singing after some time off, this is a no-brainer.

How will it help you? 

The Original is ideal for everyday warm-ups, helping you build basic control, breath support, and smooth out those registers. 

It’s simple, effective, and perfect for keeping your voice in tip-top shape when you don’t have hours to practice.

Who's it for?

• Beginners (duh!)

• Singers getting back into practice after a break (like me when I had my first baby – seriously, I was struggling to get my voice back).

• Anyone who needs gentle yet effective training to build vocal foundation and ease into stronger sounds.

BONUS: It’s affordable – at $49, it’s a great entry point for singers who need the basics without breaking the bank.

Singing Straw PRO – The Vocal Warrior’s Tool 

Now, let’s talk about the Singing / Straw™ PRO. 

This is where you start getting into next-level vocal training. It comes with three straws – 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm – allowing you to adjust the resistance for a customized vocal workout.

Here’s the deal:

• 2mm for heavy resistance when you need to really feel the intensity and strengthen your vocal folds.

• 3mm for regular use (think of this as your everyday training tool).

• 4mm when you need something lighter, say, for cool-downs or when your voice is a little tired.

Why does this matter? 

The PRO gives you control over every aspect of your vocal technique. It’s great for singers who have been practicing for a while and want to build strength, coordination, and flexibility across their entire vocal range. 

If you’re already used to doing some vocal exercises (like SOVT stuff) and you’re craving a more nuanced approach to your training, the PRO is your best friend.

Who’s it for?

• Advanced singers (this is the pro version, after all).

• Coaches who want to use it with their students.

• Anyone who wants to supercharge their vocal range, add more power to their belt, or smooth out transitions between head and chest voice.

Pro Tip: The PRO straws are also amazing for those vocal exercises you find tricky, like cracking your higher range or sustaining long notes. If you're already solid in your singing and looking to refine your technique, this is the toolkit for you.

Singing Straw Sili – Comfort, Flexibility, and Fun Colors 

Last but definitely not least, we’ve got the Singing / Straw™ Sili. 

This is the straw for those of you who love the feel of silicone over metal. Made from food-grade silicone, it’s soft, flexible, and comes in three fun colors: Cloud Gray, Slate Blue, and Wisp Green. 

The Sili is designed to feel like a cozy hug for your mouth, while still offering the same benefits as the Original (3mm diameter) for breath support, coordination, and range.

Who’s it for?

• People who prefer silicone to metal for comfort (for example, sensitive singers or anyone with texture preferences).

• Kids or singers newer to straw phonation who need a softer, more flexible straw.

• Singers who love having fun with their gear (hello, pretty colors).

This one’s perfect for those who need a gentle touch but still want the power and magic of SOVT training.

So Which Singing Straw Set Is Right for You?

Here’s a quick breakdown of who should grab which set:

• If you’re a beginner or coming back from a vocal break: The Original is perfect for you.

• If you’ve been singing for a while, or want more control in your vocal practice: Go with the PRO.

• If you love silicone, want something soft and flexible, or you’re buying for younger singers: The Sili is your best bet.

Whether you’re just starting to explore your voice or you’re a seasoned pro who wants to take it to the next level, the Singing Straw system has something for everyone. 

And when used consistently, they can help reduce strain, improve tone, and expand your range.
