Cracks. Strain. Fatigue. You know the feeling.
As singers we ask a LOT of our voice. And when it gets tricky, what's really happening is simple: the system isn't working efficiently. Unlike an athlete who can fix their swing, we can't see or adjust our instrument. So we practice for hours and nothing changes. That's exactly why I created this challenge.
Why the Singing / Straw Method works
Every workout in this challenge is built on something voice scientists call an SOVT: a semi-occluded vocal tract. Sing through a narrow straw, a lip trill, or a hum and you create back pressure in your vocal tract. That pressure lowers the larynx, releases tension, and opens the back of the throat.
Best part: it helps realign your vocal folds so they vibrate more efficiently. The straw is the most powerful version, which is why I built one. But every exercise here works with whatever you have on hand, including nothing at all.
The exercises do the physics. Showing up every day does the rest. That's what these ten days are for.

Hey singers, I'm Whitney!
Singer, songwriter, vocal coach, studio owner, creator of the Singing / Straw. I built the app so you can train with me every day, wherever you are, in the time it takes to make coffee.
One year in, 200+ singers warm up with me inside the app. This challenge is my birthday present to you. Life is too short to hate the sound of your voice. Give me ten minutes a day.
Imagine...
- You have a warmup you actually look forward to
- High notes feel easier, not like a gamble
- Your voice feels stronger and more balanced than it did on Day 1
- You've sung ten days in a row for the first time in... ever?
What happens when singers do this every day
The jump I always tensed up on just... happened.I struggled with the octave jump and would tense up every time. Started using the Singing Straw today... I was not only able to do the jump, I was shocked at how easy it was. I forgot it was a trouble spot!Lexy, app member
Sang a Mozart aria and wasn't horrified.I am finding a huge improvement in my voice. Was able to sing a fairly difficult Mozart aria the other day and wasn't horrified with how I sounded. I love, love, looooove my straws.Elizabeth W., app member
My range is bigger and stronger.The Master Your Break no-talking warmup has helped me increase and strengthen my range so much. Love love love!Nadene T., app member
Got questions? Got answers.
How much time does it take?
About 10 minutes a day. Open the app, watch the video, sing along, answer the prompt. That's it.
Do I need a straw?
Nope. Some workouts use one and we'll show you lots of options, and if you'd like one of ours you'll get a special discount after you join.
Is it really free?
Yes. You'll enter a card to start your 7-day trial, and if you cancel before day 7 you pay nothing. Stay, and it's $14.99/month, cancel anytime from your account in two taps. Either way you keep all ten challenge videos plus every warmup, workout, and livestream replay in the app.
When should I sign up?
Before Wednesday, October 14 is ideal. That gives you a few days to get set up, and your 7-day trial covers most of the challenge.
I already have a Singing / Straw. Does this help me use it better?
Yes. Every workout works with or without one, but if you've got yours, you'll get more out of it than you have been. Bring it to Day 1.
What if I start late?
Join anytime. The videos stay in the app, so start on Day 1 whenever you're ready and go at your own pace.
What if I can't make the live finale?
The replay lands in the app right after. You won't miss a thing.
How does the grand prize work?
Finish all ten days and you're entered. One winner is drawn during the live finale on October 23 and gets a full year of the app, free.
I'm a total beginner. Is this for me?
Yes. Any voice, any level, any style. Pros use it as a reset, beginners use it as a starting line.
I'm already an app member. Do I need to sign up?
Nope, you're already in. Everything is waiting for you in the S/S Studio Community.
The world needs your voice.
