Didgeridoo Sounds: The Loud Bark

Lesson Overview

This technique is all about volume. Time to step out of you comfort zone and really work those vocal cords

Lesson Goals

• Make your loudest bark using the “ka” tongue movement
• Use a high pitched vocal so your bark stands out clearly from your drone

Training Tips

• Practice your loudest vocal, first without your didgeridoo
• The louder it sounds without the didgeridoo, the louder it will be when you do the same while playing
• Use your diaphragm to give you extra vocal strength
• Keep your cheeks in for extra clarity in the bark
• Keep your drone and airflow low and relaxed. You should feel like you are holding your breath and making your loudest vocal, just in your throat
• The higher pitched your voice is, the clearer you will hear the sound
• Best to practice away from everyone so you are not self-conscious. It’s time to unleash!
