Straw Exercise
Next, we're going to be doing the straw exercise. As you saw in the video, this one involves no head movement, you should be moving your head side to side as you do it.
Instructions

- Great job! Keep going.
- Feel it shift into head voice.
Important Tips
- There should be no strain.
- If it starts to strain, you can duck out and wait for it to come back down.
Sa, make sure to keep your head still.
Sa, great job!
