How To Play Didgeridoo Animal Sounds. This advice doesn’t only apply to the playful animal sounds we make, but also to the breathing, which is essential in playing the digeridoo and should come from your belly. We recommend using a “p” sound to get the drone started strong and on cue.
In this didgeridoo beatbox tutorial video, didge project’s jerry walsh demonstrates how to play 3 basic beatboxing rhythms for the didgeridoo. Without the didgeridoo, try making a dog bark using your voice. In this video class you will learn some basic breathing techniques, how to use the different parts of your body required for playing, and some simple practices that you can start working on every day.
If any air is leaking out the side of your mouth while you play this will greatly detract from the quality of the sound.
Before we are finished though, i would like to recap what i have taught you. Now try this with your didgeridoo. What’s great about these rhythms is that they do not require circular breathing, so even if you haven’t mastered circular breathing yet, you can pick up the instrument right away and begin to play. The didgeridoo has been played by aboriginal australians for at least 1,500 years, and is known for its otherworldly sound.
