Drinking straw:  Singing your song through a straw improves your head voice, prevents pushing and focuses your air.  See here for more info.

Paper bag: Do you know why they always make someone who’s having a panic attack breathe into a paper bag?  Because carbon dioxide (the product of exhalation) calms us down.  And it works before any stressful activity (like, say, an audition).  Seal the bag around your mouth and nose and take slow breaths in and out, recycling the air–repeat for 30 seconds to a minute, and you are guaranteed to feel more chill.

Gauze:  Using a gauze pad to hold out your tongue while you are singing can be very illuminating.  It will show you which words on which you tend to tighten your tongue, and this awareness can make good changes in diction and freedom of tone.

Tongue Depressor: You can use a tongue depressor to check the strength of various muscles in your tongue. By pressing the tongue up into a depressor, you can exercise the supra-hyoid muscles that are essential in belting. If you press the tip of your tongue out into a depressor, you can work the thrust muscles of the tongue that helps improve clarity of diction and reduce the tendency to “choke” the sound.
