Step 2: The Basic SoundsOK, now you are ''droning right along" and feel fairly comfortable with the basic drone. Hopefully, you've gotten past the drones and are now ready to expand the sound variations you can make.
Take a deep breath, relax, and exhale. Note the shape of the mouth and lips. The lips should be lightly parted and the jaw relaxed. Not completely slack, just relaxed.
Now say "didgeridoo" out loud with out moving the jaw or lips (do this WHILE you are playing!). You should feel a vibration in your body (especially in your head) as you say it. The tongue does most of the work and the sound seems to come by itself from deeper in your body. Just to make sure you are moving your lips or jaw, look at your reflection in a mirror while you do this.
'O', 'U', and 'E' Sounds
Using the same techniques (we are always using the basics), now say "oooo" (like ''oh'', but longer) and note the tongue position. The tongue is toward the bottom of the mouth and forward. Do not focus on the location of the tip of the tongue but on the wider middle part of it.
Now say "oooooh" or "u" (like the "u" sound in ''tooth'') and note the position of the tongue. The tip of the tongue is pressed against the front bottom teeth, or close to it. The sound resonates in the head especially somewhere in the sinuses and/or ears.
Now say "eeeee" and note the position of the tongue. The wide middle part of the top of the tongue is pressed against the roof of the mouth. The sound also resonates in the head especially somewhere in the sinuses and/or ears.
Practice alternating between the three sounds in the same breath.
Again remember:
- Do not blow too hard
- Keep your lips relaxed
