Vocalising Your Bounce Breath

Lesson Overview

Ever heard a didge player pump out rapid vocal calls and thought… where are they breathing?! This technique allows you to do a punchy vocal pop and take a breath at the same time. Sweet!

Lesson Goals

• Be able to do a vocal bark at the same time you do a diaphragm pulse
• Take a short breath immediately after the vocal/diaphragm pulse like the bounce breath technique
• Play multiple vocalised bounce breaths

Training Tips

• You may want to revisit the bounce breath lesson in the intermediate section if you are not comfortable with that technique yet
• Keep gentle, relaxed and in control. You don’t need to be tense to play this technique
• Practice the technique without your didgeridoo until it is easy
• The quality of your vocal sound is not important at first, just get comfortable with this new coordination
• Once you are getting the technique, then work on getting a punchy, popping bark sound
