SOVT Exercises Explained: How to Heal, Rebalance, and Strengthen Your Singing Voice

In this episode, Sarah breaks down SOVT (semi-occluded vocal tract) exercises and why they’re essential for vocal health, rehab, and technique. You’ll learn how straws, lip buzzes, and other SOVTs actually work — and how to use them correctly to reduce strain, improve mix, and feel better in your voice.👉For a limited time only, spots are now open to register to work with Sarah.  🎉You can now claim your spot for Winter 2026 Group Lessons. This is where you can get individualized coaching and training from Sarah, but benefit from listening and learning from other singers at the same time. There are 2 levels of classes: Intermediate and Advanced. Intermediate is perfect for hobbyists or pros who can't make the Advanced Class time. The Advanced Class is for students who are looking to sing professionally: either reclaiming their voice after stopping their training for years, are experiencing physical changes or are ready to book more gigs and jobs using their voice. Group is where we focus on song application and performance- please note: in order to do this, you must already have the pre-requisite, The Pillars Series, in order to participate in group lessons. This is to ensure that students get the most out of the experience and we aren't re-teaching the same things. Registration for winter ENDS Jan 17th. ⏰There's only a couple spots left- so claim yours now. 🔥 Yes this is currently the only to work with Sarah at the moment. Click here to register for Winter 2026 Group lessonsMiss the registration date?
