Using drinking straws to enhance voice has become quite a trend. The exercise can have many benefits for voice, which we will discuss in future posts.

For now, I want to drop a short audio file here to get you started playing with the straw kazoo exercise, with more details to come. Enjoy!

If you’d like personalized instruction on working with the straw, or anything else relating to voice, speech, or presence, reach out for a session!
