Didgeridoo Articulation & Vocalization Combo

Video Transcript

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 actually had a chance to play your didgeridoo, you've probably noticed a few things that seem a little odd about it. A traditional didgeridoo has a bees wax mouthpiece. You want to keep this up. You can buy bees wax at any local craft shop. You just kind of melt it on there and form your mouthpiece how you like. If you've been practicing for a couple of days, now, you've probably noticed this started to melt away a little bit, very important. Also, you've probably noticed that this thing doesn't play anything other than one note. It's not a bummer. You don't want to drill holes into it, it's not a flute, it's a didgeridoo. But, we can do things to make it sound unique. We'll add more articulations and vocalizations together. We're going to use the 'Ta' sound and a little bit of a hum into the instrument. We'll combine two of the essential sounds that you use when you play the didgeridoo. So, we'll say, "Ta, ta, ta." But that time we'll actually say "Ta" instead of just the ?t? sound while we play. So, "Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta," while saying it and buzzing at the same time. I know it sounds like a lot right now but practice and you'll get it down, and you'll get something that sounds a little bit like this. (audio demo) Pretty cool huh?
