FAVORITE tools

I’ve compiled this list of tools I get asked about often. Here are my favorites based on experience, personal purchases, research, and recommendations from other colleagues in the industry. I don’t post anything I don’t stand by. I do sometimes receive a small commission from some of the items at no additional cost to you. Thanks for supporting QuinVox so that I may continue to provide tips, tools, and mentorship for artists and music lovers everywhere.

nebulizers like the one below can be a useful tool for extreme cases such as: consistent travel by airplane, extreme changes in air quality/environment, changes in altitude, etc. However, it is not recommended to use without first consulting a doctor. and only use as directed with the proper saline solution for optimal, and safe results.

This is my absolute FAVORITE training tool. Straw phonation exercises are invaluable to singers. This version makes it easy to train any time, anywhere, & adjust levels as you learn. Brilliant tool and worth the price!

A good tumbler is a singer’s bff. Not just because hydration is key, but also for bubbles! Click here to watch a video that uses bubbles for warming up. This one comes with a metal straw and cleaner for the straw. It’s well priced and very handy. Love!

Everything is online now. Prepare yourself for any virtual scenario with a simple audio set-up that will help you sound better. I’ve been using the PreSonus setup above for a number of recording projects and daily use. It’s very versatile and affordable. But, for online lessons only, a simple, USB mic is worthwhile. I use this Blue snowball to teach via Zoom, and I love it. It really picks up sound even at a distance.

Learning the basics of piano can help singers improve pitch, adlibs and timing (among other things). I love this small version (25 keys) for those who want portability. Plus I love that it comes with Akai’s MPC Beats Software. That’s a bonus!

This is a 49-key alternative which is similar to the keyboard I use: the M-Audio Keystation 61-Key. I don’t like to have to change octaves mid-exercise, so the 61 works best for me. It all depends on what you need it for. I recommend the smaller to mid sizes for basic learning, songwriting/pre-production.

I've been drinking this tea for over 20 years. Love how comforting it feels after a long vocal day, before bed. This is not really for use other than to soothe tired throats.
