Yes, you should feel air coming out of the straw. My speech therapist uses a very thin piece of tissue as a visual indicator of air flow. Hold it at nose level in front of your face-it can be fairly close to start with if your voice is really struggling. As you do the straw exercise,aim to maintain a smooth, steady lift of the tissue and this will let you know if you are doing it properly. Keeping a hand on your stomach to make sure your abdominal muscles are engaged at all times really helps x

@SilentFreyja is right. you should feel air, and your nose should have no air coming out or it ruins the whole thing.
