Semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) exercises are like yoga for your voice. They balance pressure, reduce strain, and help your vocal folds vibrate more efficiently — giving you clearer tone, easier high notes, and longer endurance. 💫 Straws, hums, lip trills… small tools, huge results! #VoiceScience #HealthySinging #SOVT #VocalWarmup #StephannieMooreVoice

The science behind SOVT exercises: Basically, you partially block the airflow (like with a straw, lip trill, or humming). That tiny bit of resistance creates back pressure in the vocal tract, which helps the vocal folds vibrate more efficiently instead of slamming together. What that does for your voice: • Less strain, less squeeze • Better vocal fold closure • More stable pitch • Easier access to high notes • Great for warming up and resetting a tired voice Different voices may need different a
