Some of Our Favorite Tools for Singers

Elevate your performance and vocal well-being

Enhancing your voice and unique sound goes beyond vocal exercises and techniques; it involves discovering the perfect tools to complement your voice. In this post, we've curated a list of some of our favorite external resources tailored to meet the unique needs of singers. Whether you're a seasoned performer or just starting, these tools aim to amplify your vocal skills and support you and your voice.

1. Stainless Steel Mug with Lid and Straw

Staying well-hydrated is essential for maintaining vocal health, and this 40 oz stainless steel tumbler ensures seamless hydration throughout your day. With a built-in XL straw, it's perfect for on-the-go straw singing exercises—ideal for warming up, cooling down, and resetting your voice. We don't start the day without it.

2. Mypuremist Handheld Steam Inhaler

Adding extra surface hydration to your vocal tract can be crucial, and a personal steam inhaler provides just that. Portable and versatile, integrate it into your pre-performance ritual or use it whenever you need a hydration boost, especially in dry environments or during recovery from illness.

3. VocalMist Portable Nebulizer

Consider a personal nebulizer for additional surface hydration; whether you prefer steaming or nebulizing depends on what works best for your voice. Nebulizers use isotonic saline solution, and their smaller particles travel further down the airway, making both options valuable tools for vocal support.

4. The Peanut Massage Ball

Combat neck, shoulder, and back tension—common hindrances to your best voice—with a peanut massage ball. Placing it at the base of your neck can alleviate "tech neck" or instrument-related strain (we're looking at you "piano neck" and "guitar neck!"). Listen to your body and let this tool release tension, making it a valuable addition to your vocal health routine. One of our favorites.

5. Facial Roller and Gua Sha

Tension in the jaw and facial muscles frequently affect singers, and a facial roller or gua sha tool can provide some much needed relief. Incorporate these tools into your comprehensive vocal health routine, adapting their use based on your unique needs for maximum effectiveness.

6. Singing/Straw

Enhance vocal efficiency with semi-occluded vocal tract exercises using the Singing/Straw. This portable tool, perfect for warm-ups, cool-downs, and vocal resets, promotes optimal sound production. Take it anywhere to achieve your best voice, and use our affiliated link and code: evolvevocalstudio to save 15%.

Remember, these tools are personalized, and it's essential to listen to your body. When in doubt, consult with a professional to tailor their use to your unique voice and needs. Embrace these resources, and let them elevate both your vocal prowess and your musical journey.
