Vocal Echo

Description Vocal echo is where you echo words to make it sound as if you are speaking through a delay unit. Once you perfect this technique it can mess with people's heads! Method In this method we will show you how to delay the word 'microphone'. 1. Firstly, break the word down into syllables (chunks). For example, microphone becomes { mi cro phone }. 2. Now, you need to say each syllable slightly louder than you would normally say it and keep them short - { MI CRO PHONE }. 3. Next, you need to generate the echoes. The echoes are ventriloquised. This means you say them without moving your lips. Also, you only need to say the very end of each syllable. * MI becomes NGI * CRO becomes RO (pronounced ROW) * PHONE becomes ONE (pronounced OWN) 4. So the pattern becomes: * { MI NGI NGI } * { CRO ROW } * { PHONE OWN OWN } {MI NGI NGI CRO ROW PHONE OWN OWN } 5. Now, each syllable, e.g. MI and its echoes needs to be exactly the same pitch and each echo gets slightly quieter by the same amount. For more tutorials visit http://www.humanbeatbox.com/learn
