And when it does, most singers either push through (not helpful) or stop singing altogether (also not helpful).</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of&nbsp;<em>Vocal Tips in 10</em>, I’m walking you through a simple, strategic sequence of exercises to help your voice reset and start feeling like&nbsp;<em>you</em>&nbsp;again—without forcing or overworking.</p><p>We’ll work through:</p><ul><li>A gentle&nbsp;<strong>SOVT “HN” exercise</strong>&nbsp;on one note to ease the voice back in</li><li><strong>Straw in water with sliding intervals</strong>&nbsp;to help reduce swelling and irritation</li><li>A&nbsp;<strong>“floppy jaw” release</strong>&nbsp;to reduce tension in the articulators (because your body&nbsp;<em>will</em>&nbsp;try to tighten up when you’re not at 100%)</li><li>An&nbsp;<strong>“NG” exercise</strong>&nbsp;to reconnect resonance and smooth out your registers</li></ul><p><br></p><p>This is the kind of reset I use with singers when their voice isn’t cooperating—so instead of guessing (or spiraling), you have a clear way forward.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Stop guessing.
