Basic Didgeridoo Vocalizations

Hi, I'm voice over artist James Benedict on behalf of Expert Village. This video is about learning how to play the didgeridoo and I'd like to share a few secrets with you. Now that you've been practicing your didgeridoo, you've probably noticed that it only plays one note. You can't really play scales on a didgeridoo, that's why we make vocalizations into the didgeridoo. We'll start off by just kind of yelling into it while we buzz. Yeah! You actually get to yell into the didgeridoo, as loud as you want to. I'm not going to scream as loud as I can right now because I'm in a recording studio, people are across the hall. Let's buzz, and kind of yell behind our buzz. (audio demo) I know it sounds ridiculous. Now let's try it with this thing and we get a really neat sound. Just kind of think of it as a siren. You can add whatever sounds you want to your vocalizations, but that one's just called the 'yell' or the 'scream', depends on what you prefer.
