I Learned Beatbox Sounds with No Experience

this week i wanted to learn a few beatbox sounds and then combining them to create a bit from scratch in the end starting from the basics the btk sounds are fundamental to create a beat the letter b is the kick imagine seeing a word that starts with the letter b like bass or beatbox this one is already the right shape of your mouth now think about filling your mouth with air and creating pressure inside it then by slightly opening your lips and releasing the pressure you should get the kick and it's pretty easy next is the t or hi-hat just think about a word that starts with the letter t try to say table or terrifying put the tongue against the front teeth and create pressure inside the mouth and when you release it by slightly moving the tip of the tongue you should have this sound the last sound of the phonomenas is decay or snare like the previous two sounds think about a word that starts with k or c like cat creating pressure instead of mouth and then releasing it in the beginning i just kept producing weird sounds like if someone was strangulating me then by focusing on creating the sound in this part of my throat and drinking a ton of water i started to get some decent results by combining the three basic sounds you can already make some simple nice beats this is so cool the fact that i'm drowning my microphone another problem was that i was running out of breath really quick and so i had to learn the inward snare it's basically like the snare but instead of breathing out we breathe in push your tongue back until you're not able to inhale and then by slightly releasing the tongue you get a sound like this this allows you to breathe in and in my opinion it sounds even better than the normal snare i found a line a few patterns to follow such as go at this point i had a choice learning to make a good simple bit or learning to make a bunch of weird sounds the first sound that decided to learn is the harlow club and it's basically the water pouring sound at first i thought this was generated by the tongue against the top of the mouth but it's actually the opposite imagine to suspend your tongue and then smash it on the bottom of your mouth when it dried i started to get something right away but i couldn't control it really well and my jaw was getting tired fast by alternating practicing and rest after a few minutes i started to get good results but the sound was still pretty flat to make it more realistic i needed to change pace and pitch of the sound by changing the shape of your mouth you can modify the pitch starting from low and then going high and after about 25 minutes i was getting pretty good results it's so cool and also the more you practice the louder it gets the next good sound i wanted to learn is the human saxophone and to learn it i followed this great tutorial first you need to sound like a turtle making love like hey assume the weirdest special expression you could possibly make and by adjusting the pitch of the voice from high to low and changing the shape of your mouth after a while you should sound more and more like a saxophone i sound like i kept trying for one hour making slight changes but i really couldn't make any progress i still need to remove the human sound of my voice and i had no idea how to do it then in the evening i tried again this time keeping my tongue flat on the bottom of the mouth and this made a huge difference yeah that's better way better than before let's go now it's time for the zipper it's insanely cool but pretty hard to learn i went through a bunch of tutorials for this one and i had zero results at first but then i found the technique that was kinda working close and stretch your lips to form a sort of awkward smile and think about kinda biting down on your lips with your teeth at this point you have to nail pretty hard and focus all the air in the tiny open spot between the lips it took me 40 minutes to get something that didn't sound like a fart at first i couldn't even make a sound and after that the pitch was completely off it was too low but by stretching the lips even more and therefore reducing the space between the lips you can increase the pitch that was nice once you get to this point to create the zipper sound you simply need to smile a bit more after inhaling this will basically close the space between your lips causing the pitch to go even higher at this point it's all about practice and in the end i was pretty happy with the results that's nice before moving to my personal favorite sound there is another one i couldn't wait to learn based on the same turtle making love concept of the saxophone you can also easily learn the trumpet sound this time instead of opening your mouth close your lips and leave a small space on the side at first when i tried i was pretty far off but literally after two minutes even if it was unexpected i started to get something similar to a trumpet i'm getting there you need to keep practicing reducing the space between the leaves until you can clearly feel the vibration keep your lips as close as possible and bring the lower lip slightly above the upper one and once you find the right spot you can try changing the pitch of your voice i think it's pretty good right now [Music] the last trick i wanted to learn is the water drop sound and just by hearing it i realized that this was gonna be my favorite one but i had absolutely no idea how to do it and in the beginning i wasn't making any sound then i realized that the water drop sound has maybe something in common with the whistle so i kept trying and surprisingly after just a few minutes i started to get something similar to a watershed no way the base of this sound is in fact a whistle so you need to create a no shape with your mouth bring your lower lip a little bit forward and slowly excel making adjustments until you hear this sound now to produce the water drop sound you simply need to use your tongue so this is my mouth these are my thief and this is the movement your tongue should make to produce the water drop and also you just need the air inside your mouth you don't need to excel after about half an hour my water drop was good but not great the secret to make it more realistic is to flick your finger against your chick and cannot open the mouth after the sound and in the end i got it before creating the final bit i also tried the lip roll which is extremely cool if you can do it but every single tutorial you watch told me that it usually takes months to get it in a few hours i made a big progress but i decided to keep practicing slowly and with no rush follow me on instagram i'm gonna keep trying there and now finally i wanted to combine the sounds i learned to create a simple bit obviously just by using my mouse it took me a while to make it and a bunch more to edit it but it turned out like this it's beatboxing is a huge word and i'm just scratching the surface
