Vocal + Wellness Shop
For Your Vocal Wellness & Transformation
Want to go even deeper? There are many gadgets, tools, tonics and retreats available on the market today to help nurture and develop your vocal power. These products are some of my favourite tools to use in the studio. I have put this page together to help support your ongoing vocal and personal growth.
You can buy these products through the direct LINKS I have provided or you may find some of them down at your local health food store, chemist or department store. It’s always best vocal practice to take the time to use these products throughout your vocal development, before your presentation or performance.
The Warm Up
#1 Top Pick: The Voice Straw
Anyone who has stepped foot into my studio know that at some stage they are going to do straw work. I was really excited to find The Voice Straw in a recent online voice forum. These straws are stainless steel, reusable and they come in different sizes, which is great support your developing voice. The sweetest element to this pack is the added cup component: You attach the cup to the straw and put the cup over your mouth which will help develop your acoustical pressure. It’s Super Nerdy + Super Effective. If I have recommended you get this pack, don’t just take my word for it, take a look at the science behind this product for yourself.
The FORBRAIN
The Forbrain has been used for many years in my studio for both singers and professionals who want to create that more authoritative and engaging tone. There is so much research and science behind this device, I really need you to go and read up on the huge benefits to integrating this device into your vocal life.
- Bone conduction transmits the sound of your own voice 10 times faster and with greater clarity than air conduction.
- The dynamic filter enhances specific frequencies of speech and constantly surprises the brain to increase memory, attention and sensory processing.
- Auditory Feedback Loop: Forbrain corrects the way you hear your own voice leading to better speech production and increased confidence.
The BELTBOX
The BELTBOX is a fabulous answer for both singers and non-singers. My executives and business professionals will often express their frustration at not being able to practice their presentation in the confines of the office space without others hearing them. The BELTBOX disrupts the self-conscious patterns and concerns of others hearing you and is the perfect answer to getting used to the sensation of speaking and singing while muffling the sound.
Tip: While using the device ensure you are not holding back or compensating your voice.
Medicinal Support
Posture Medic: LLB Studio Recommended
Posture Medic is specifically designed to help you overcome your poor postural habits and retrain your body to stand up straight with our easy Stretch – Strengthen – Stabilise program.
Using the Posture Medic for our short and simple 10 minute stretching and strengthening program can improve your range of motion and upper body strength. This can help you straighten up and stand tall naturally.
By wearing the Posture Medic as a dynamic brace, you can retrain your body to maintain the ideal position:
- head up
- straighter neck and back
- an open chest
- shoulders back and down
Most people feel the difference in just one use. We recommend that the Posture Medic needs to be worn for short periods of time initially to get used to the new posture. This is especially important for those with quite rounded posture as the changes will be more dramatic.
Ceramic Neti Pot
After practicing Ayurvedic Medicine for more than a decade one of my daily practices is the Neti Pot.
The Benefits
- Clear the nostrils to allow free breathing.
- Remove excess mucous.
- Reduce pollen or allergens in nasal passages.
- Reduce cold and flu symptoms.
- Alleviate sinus headaches.
Vocalzone Tea
A powerful, naturally caffeine free drink blended by herbal experts. Vocalzone Tea is a standard “go to” in The LLB Studio. A Tea that has helped famous singers for more than 100 years.
The Benefits
Their ingredients are natural supplements, which have been highly regarded by herbal experts for hundreds of years. In the case of some ingredients such as Myrrh, their use has been heavily documented in ancient history.
TBOYUAN Nebulizer
At some stage in any performer or speakers career they need the support of a steamers and/or nebulizer. the Tboyuan t has been a favourite of mine for many years and I recommend it to all my clients. It creates a mist, not steam, which has finer particles that penetrate deeper into your sinuses and airways for better absorption.
Ear Plugs
As a professional who needs their voice to be fit and healthy, you need to be cautious about how you use voice in environments with loud background noise, such as clubs, airplanes, busy restaurants etc. These environments can quickly lead to vocal fatigue and in some cases damage.
To help measure how you use your voice in these environments I recommend you wear one ear plug. This help you project your voice without straining. I know this seems weird and a little extreme. But ask yourself, do you want to be an athlete or an Olympian? You are getting paid to speak, so you have a duty to do all that you can to give your very best performance, every performance.

Recommended Practitioners
There is no question that my health has been comprised and I am eternally grateful to my team who have supported me in creating a sustainable, happy, healthy and loving life. I believe to understand ourselves we must consciously live with ourselves, observe ourselves, know our content, our nature, structure and movement. By doing this we start to understand that we are not static beings, we are living things. To live with a living thing our spirit must be alive, our bodies must be strong and our mind needs to be free of opinions judgments and values.
