By popular demand, #SOVT expert Oren Boder, creator of the SOVT Singing Straw, is back!
We had so many more AMAs for Oren following our SOVT Workshop together that we invited him back for SOVT AMAs part 2 (part 1).
In part 1 of this two-part return, Oren, Gillyanne and Jeremy answer questions on:

• what SOVT really is
• the difference between active and passive SOVT
• which way should you move - straw to singing or singing to straw
• the difference between airflow, subglottal pressure and backpressure
• specific exercises for moving from straw work to sung phrases
• differences for the singer between steel and silicone straws
• should you hear the airstream down the straw or not
• which end of the SOVT Singing Straw you should blow down and why
• why feeling resistance in the abdominal wall during SOVT exercises is a byproduct and not a focus
