So like that’s a little jam session that we just did right there.

(Jay Flo): Yeah yeah, for example alright he was doing whole like, and I was doing a little more like fill-ins like sound effects so a couple of hi-hats. Things to follow up on what he was doing but putting on top of it instead of doing the same sounds and try to communicate that way.(Kid Lucky): Is this like having a conversation, like we’re doing right now so you know it guys that’s really would jamming is really about.

*beatboxing*

We are sound artists, y’know what i mean, we are vocal sound artists, we are able to create any way that we want and what i just did right there is a straight up freestyle I can imagine people just doing this kind of stuff ’cause they chose to and be able to move their voices in a way that allows them to be able to take it to different places. A freestyle is what you really want to do at any given time, and there is no one telling you that you’re not doing it and you’re not doing it well when you’re doing it for them.

So, a freestyle can be any way that you want it to be, and, you know, just as long as you’re allowing yourself to experiment, y’know, with that, and have fun with it. The only competition that you have is with yourself, no matter what happens, if you’re battling like 15 or 20 cats, or whatever whatnot, the only person you’re battling at the end of the day is yourself, y’know what i mean, that’s it. I mean, y’know, when you freestyle, it’s all about you, it’s you, whatever’s going on inside you, and how you can best get it out. “

How to Improve Your Beatboxing Technique https://howcast.com/videos/499362-how-to-improve-beatboxing-technique-beatboxing/ Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:21:29 +0000 https://howcast.com/videos/499362-how-to-improve-beatboxing-technique-beatboxing/

Transcript

“If you wanna try getting better at beatboxing one of the things I recommend is definitely learning the sounds perfectly. So you might have a kick a high hat in the snare but if you learn how to do them clean and nice, and you know, then you can start experimenting because you are able to control the sounds. So you definitely want to learn how to do the sounds clean and then start creating your own stuff.

So, you know, you can have the same three sounds like (beatbox noise performed)) kicks, high hats, snares and then do them in different ways (beatbox noise performed) but they sound clean like (beatbox noise performed).

So, definitely getting your sounds clean helps. Another thing that I think helps is listening to music, you know, sit down, listen to music and try to imitate. See that’s one thing that humans can do is like try and imitate. Like if you go up to a friend who speaks another language and he says like…””try to say this the way I say it””…It’s a different language that you’ve never heard but because you’ve heard him say it you can sort of try and imitate how it sounds.

So, listening to music definitely helps because then you can get your ideas out and try and imitate things, even though you might not know how to do them but you think and try to explore as to how to do it.

And also, if you want to listen to other beatboxers, you know, it helps too. But I definitely recommend working on your own stuff and listening to music definitely helps just as well as listening to beatboxers. But if you listen to music you’ll be more original in the end.”

“Kid Lucky: Sup, I’m Kid Lucky, president and founder of Beatboxer Entertainment.

Jflo: And I’m Jflo, I’m the 2011 american beatbox champion.

Kid Lucky: We are beatboxers here in new york and, y’know, been teaching y’all a little bit about what the human beatbox is all about, but, a little bit about myself, i started up a company in 2002 to push and promote human beatboxing because I got tired of human beatboxers not getting the respect that they so deserve, and I’ve been doing beatboxing, y’know, professionally, since about ’95-’96. The reason I’m so passionate about beatboxing is that it has literally saved my life. It’s been there for me since the beginning, it’s always been there for me, it’s never left me, and, y’know, allows me to express myself, y’know, to get out any kind of situation, problems, love, y’know, life. Beatboxing is definitely my form of expression, but what about you?

Jflo: I started beatboxing because I was into hip-hop when it first started. I love beatboxing because i feel like you can express really any sort of music, any sort of genre, anything, and express it, more life, which means, you’re speaking your mind. So when somebody’s beatboxing, they’re expressing what they’re thinking in their mind about music in a life way.

Kid Lucky: People can visit my youtube channel at youtube.com/Kidlucky1

Jflo: you can find me on youtube.com, Jflo beatbox, and the same thing goes for facebook and twitter, at real jflo beatbox.

History of Beatboxing https://howcast.com/videos/499318-history-of-beatboxing-beatboxing/ Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:50:06 +0000 https://howcast.com/videos/499318-history-of-beatboxing-beatboxing/

Transcript

What’s really great about the history of beatboxing is that all the practitioners are here, most of them are here now. They started it. Which is like unlike a lot like other genres. People forget that Hip Hop itself is only since the late seventies. The person that I’d say started beatboxing is Doug E. Fresh. We really got to see Doug around 1983, 84, when Beat Street came out. That’s when you really got the scene. Okay, this is beatboxing. You know what I’m saying, beatbox, Doug E. Fresh, you know what I mean – wow. With the Christmas Rap from the Treachours Three. That’s the first when the world got a chance to see beatboxing as a whole. People were just really into it. On the same note you have to give props to Darren Robinson who was the beatboxer for the Fat Boys, who was also know by the name Buffy. He was just really dope, he had whole different type of sound. Where Dough E. had like p-k-p-k, with the clicks, very clean and everything, Buffy had a pf-huh-huh you know what I mean. It’s a very harsh sound that he was actually able to do you know to the extend that he did it at. Around that time you had Jock Box from the Skinny Boys, who started coming out, you had Ready Rock C with the Fresh Prince, who is now known as Will Smith. Back in the day it was him, Ready Rock C and Dj Jazzy Jeff. You had Biz Markie coming out a little bit later. It’s funny because you know I like Biz because of him beatboxing and talking at the same time, which Buffy did a little bit as well. But I like Biz because he set up a movement to do stuff with words that I do now. That’s why I think Biz Markie was always very cutting edge. He is to me one those underrated beatboxers because he is so avantgarde in how he approaches stuff.

How to Become an Amazing Human Beatbox https://howcast.com/videos/499309-how-to-become-an-amazing-human-beatbox-beatboxing/ Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:43:33 +0000 https://howcast.com/videos/499309-how-to-become-an-amazing-human-beatbox-beatboxing/

Transcript

What makes an amazing beatboxer is really you. And what you want to do – it’s an art. I mean, at the end of the day, it’s your art. You know what I mean? It’s what you want to do. That’s how you become amazing – by being you, by being your own artist, daring to do things that no one else will do. Many, you know, are followers, you know what I mean? To be an individual artist is what you should be working to do. Following people, doing what other people are doing, trying to be as mainstream as you can, is great; but at a certain point, what do you feel? You know what I mean? And then that’s the art right there – that’s why I do beat rhyming, because for me, it’s my art. It’s who I am. And for any beatboxer that is maybe watching this or who wants to beatbox – be you. You know what I’m saying? Be different. Dare to do something where people go, “you’re crazy”. You know what I mean? Dare to reach for a different type of reality in it, dare to push it to the boundaries and expand the boundaries. You want to be a great beatboxer? That is all up to you – it really is. I mean, I couldn’t even begin to tell you how many beatboxers go, “oh his snare isn’t really like this” or, “he doesn’t do this beat” or, “he doesn’t do that”. If the crowd likes you, who gives a damn what the other beatboxer says?

Transcript

So like, you know the snare, the inward K snare is a, it’s a sound if that is used for definitely like when you’re breathing in, so like us a lot of beat boxers don’t like to hit (sigh), you know what I’m saying? is a little idea and note the T and the K, you know would just (beating). You know what I mean, and you know going inward with it (beating). You know what I’m saying so you can actually like just breathing in. Instead of going out (beating, you can breathe it (beating)you know and you know the tongue is in the same place(beating)you know what I mean. Everything is they just you know just going, when you’re about to say you go (beating) you know. Watch out ’cause you might just do something like that (beating) you know. But it’s new is like you know when you’re sitting there like dropping some beat like (beating) you know what I mean, so like you know that’s the Inward K. I actually like using the regular breathe myself you know and don’t normally use it. I think that like you know it is great for beat rhyming when I know without the inward K but I incorporate it in there from time to time toward in there but yeah I think it’s something good for you know when you’re doing dance music you know what I mean. Stuff like that it’s really thought to be how to use the inward type.

(Yeah, I, World, Rock) And you’re like, “yeah this is dope!”, everybody else is like “yeah, just lay off” and that’s what it’s like. You try to use it sparingly once you get it down.

“You’ve gotta remember that when beatboxing you want to breath so you weren’t to have circular breathing where you’re like not every sound is outward. Now if you have any trouble learning inward sound like the inward K or the zipper or anything in general thats inward you can always just breath and make breathing noises between your beats. It doesn’t have to necessarily sound like it’s a real sound, its more like something like this like

So you’re not breathing in, it doesn’t really sound like it’s a sound out there or like a special sound effect, its more like im breathing in like

So dont be afraid to experiment on waste breath. There is also another way you can breath its through your nose. When your beatboxing with your mouth really your making the noises, but youve gotta remember to sort of breath through your nose like

How to Make Hi-Hat Sounds in Beatboxing https://howcast.com/videos/499301-how-to-make-hi-hat-sounds-beatboxing/ Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:54:10 +0000 https://howcast.com/videos/499301-how-to-make-hi-hat-sounds-beatboxing/

Transcript

The hi hat is a very common sound used by a lot of beatboxers because it represents a major, you know, thing in the drumset and into the instrumentals and to the beats. The way you want to do a hi hat is the letter T. Now what I mean by this is you say “T, T, T” but you hear almost like a pronunciation behind it. So what you want to do is you want to take your tongue and you want to put it behind the top of your teeth in the top of your mouth. And you’re going to say “T” but you want to keep your tongue in there. “T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T” but you’re going to pronounce the T and have the air come out in between your tongue and the top of your mouth until you get that crisp sound, crisp like, “T, T, T, T.” Um, and that is a hi hat. And it’s a major sound that you can use into the beat. It’s like [beatboxing] If you’re saying the letter T but without saying it and just doing that pronunciation “T, T, T, T, T, T.” If you put an S in front of it you can go TS which is like, “Ts, Ts, Ts, Ts” and that’s still a hi hat. You have dry hi hats and you have long hi hats. Dry hi hat will sound more like, “T, T, T.” But you’ll have an open hi hats that’s like, “Ts, Ts, Ts.” So to do an open hi hat you just put an S. So you want the S to sound like “Ssss, Ssss, Ssss.” Keep it going instead of just stopping and saying “S.” “Ts, Ts, Ts” and that’s how you make the open hi hat. [beatboxing] |just not sure how you wanted the transcription of the sounds to be shown

Transcript

It’s very hard, it’s a lot of breathing in, breathing out, with a bass sound, like I said, it’s rarely used because it’s so hard to do, you know what I mean, that is also like if you’re going to do it, then yeah, yeah it’s a very tough sound to do. I can’t even go on about it, this is like Buffy’s legendary sound. you know what I mean, this is like Darren Robbinson’s legendary sound. This is like I’ve heard certain people do it from time to time and to try doing it for as long as he did, and as powerful and consistent no one could do it like robinson. everybody just tries and not like robinson no one, you know what I mean I just like I would say say you would have to talk someone into doing it, and now I’d say we are kind of lost teaching our selves to do it you know what I mean cuz he..

How to Do a Beatbox Lip Roll https://howcast.com/videos/499299-how-to-do-a-lip-roll-beatboxing/ Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:48:55 +0000 https://howcast.com/videos/499299-how-to-do-a-lip-roll-beatboxing/

Instructions

  • Step 1: Using your lips Know that a lip roll involves vibrating your lips by blowing air out through loose lips.
  • Step 2: Using your tongue Use your tongue to cut off the resulting sound to create new sounds. Incorporate the sound with a kick.

Transcript

So a lip roll or I call it, I think is more of a lip isolation is this sort of thing where you shake your lips and you vibrate your lips and I’ll show you what I mean. You blow air out and when you’re blowing air out you wanna vibrate your lips so it was like. So if I was just blowing air, I’m not pronouncing anything. Just purely blowing air fell like shaking my lips. You wanna do that like. So the way you do this is you use your tongue to sort of push air fast and then stop blowing air and so you do the same vibration that you do when you do. And you do it with a kick so it was like. Now you can do it in front of your mouth when you blow the air out like. And you can do it on the side. When I do it with a kick, I tend to do it more on the side because I tend to do my kicks on the side so it helps me out, so it was like. So you have that lip vibration blowing air out. So you do it with a kick. And ways you can incorporate this into beats and since you’re doing it with a kick, you can just incorporate into the kick like.

Transcript

A sound I like to do a lot would be the zipper. Uh, now, the zipper, which one of those, you gotta pretend that you have a straw, and it’s a really big straw. And you’re drinking a drink, so you wanna make that lip, um, sort of, gap in your mouth. And what you’re gonna do is, you’re gonna suck air in real quick, and then you’re gonna close it, close the air gap. I’ll show you what I mean. So, you wanna create, if you, if you had the hole open, and you didn’t create no vibration with your lips, it’s just like. But as you make your lips closer, and close the gaps, you create a vibration, so you can hear it, like. But, you wanna do it real fast, so it sounds like. And you can incorporate that into beats like. And if I had a zipper. |

Transcript

The Sound Effects, the different part and definitely something to have fun with, or like an alarm like, and you know the Air horn, you know you can just have fun with the sounds. One sound that I like is the Duck noise which is like the K Snare. You do the K like, but you pull your tongue down you will make almost like a Quacking noise like, so what you wanna do is keep your tongue up there and keep blowing the air out on the sides, so the same way you do the K snare but blow the air out so you go, so when you’re blowing the air out the things is you have your tongue on the top of your mouth. The air is coming out of the sides to make that little quacking noise. You can just a little creative like chicken like, you know incorporating to beat. You can also do it like laughing, like this is sort of like humming like you’re doing the same thing as humming with the beat boxing but you wanna just instead of humming you wanna like “Hum-laugh” like, so you are like humming laughing in a sort of way if you can hum-laugh and then do the beat and you can learn to do that. You can use the sound effects and you know anything really like a helicopter like. That’s like just blowing air out and using like your teeth like, like “chica-chica”, sort of like that like. Scratching, obviously it’s sound effects. My sort of scratching is like, I’m sourcing like, saying like, like, that sort of thing. You can use the kick as well for a scratch. The backward scratch. You know you can use this sort of sound effects which might take a while to learn but you can always just experiment. If you could try to imitate a sound and you can do it on your own way then you can use whatever sound effect you really wanna do.

“How to Beatbox:

Winning a Beatbox Battle

Yo. How you win a beatbox battle? There’s a lot that goes into that. You know what I mean? Like you there’s and and just knowing where your who the crowd is, what they’re looking for, what do they like. You know, what can you get away with. I mean winning a battle you know you may be better than a person and a person will come out and like and beat you with something simple. You know that the crowd just loved for whatever reason. And so like you know it’s never always the way you want it in a beatbox battle sometimes. I mean the reality of it is that uh, how to win is to just practice and practice and practice and practice and never let anyone see that it fazed you whatever they did you know. Um, learning I guess in beatboxing now is like learning another beatboxing style and like being able to use that against them. You know um, you know trying to talk a little bit of trash while you you know while you’re doing you know your beats. Um, but the reality of it is, the real true reality of it is you’ve got to win the crowd. You’ve got to win the crowd more than the other beatboxers did, you know what I mean? You’ve got to make the crowd scream and roar harder than what the other beatboxers did for you to win it you know. So whatever it is that you do don’t worry about other beatboxers and what they’re saying or if they say that’s why. You test all your material out in front of the crowd. If the crowd loves that response, hold that you know what I mean and it’s just like that’s how you win it. You know you win by the crowd. The crowd will always give it to you. Doesn’t matter because the judges look at the crowd you know what I mean? Period.”

“The hardstyle, is a kind of electronic music where the beats are really fast and it consists mostly of kicks and lots of bass, and it sounds crazy sometimes, but it’s really really fast and consists of a lot of kicks and bass and, y’know, compared to other music like dubstep or house music, which is a little bit, tends to be slower, and y’know even hiphop’s a lot slower.

“Okay, so, if you want to beatbox hardstyle, one way to do it, is always to half the bass and the kicks and you have to be really fast. So you want to do it like this, with this bass, the lip bass

Of course one of the major things is technicality and one way to be technical is to sort of do a drum pattern beats which you know can switch a lot and you gonna show your skill, so I’ll give you an example like (beating). So this is more advanced because it’s very technical but the reason why I am able to keep up my speed and I am able to do that it’s because one of the techniques that I can help you do this in an advance way is what we call TKs. Now TKs because the reason why it’s called TKs is goes that letter T is the Hihat and then the letter K will be more like a snare, like K K. Well you do it “T K T K T K T K”. So you say T and then you say K, “T K”. And the way you incorporate this when you get good at it to make it sound like (beating). So that’s how you incorporate TKs which a very advanced technique that will help you get that technicality. Also an easy way to learn TKs since you incorporated it in between beats, an easy way to do it is with drum and bass. If you can learn that one two pattern of drum and bass which sound like (beating), you can incorporate TKs.(beating). Obviously if you get good and fast you can do it like (beating). So that’s drum and bass but with TKs and if you can master your TKs then you can do more technical stuff that doesn’t have to be drum and bass but an easy way to learn the TKs is to learn the drum and bass because you have the “one, two, one two” beat pattern and the kick and the snare and you have that gap to really practice your TKs.

How to Qualify for a Beatboxing Championship https://howcast.com/videos/499291-how-to-qualify-for-a-championship-beatboxing/ Thu, 19 Jan 2012 06:53:45 +0000 https://howcast.com/videos/499291-how-to-qualify-for-a-championship-beatboxing/ Transcript

So if you wanna get serious with beat-boxing, you want to start competing and you think you got the skills and you practice enough to want to compete and you want to qualify for beatbox championships. You can do that. Obviously, here in America, there’s different rules apply, depends where you are and where you go. But the way it works in America really is you apply online at the americanbeatboxchampionships.com. They don’t tell you when you can apply. It just comes out, so you have to keep checking the website and eventually it will say you can apply. What you do is you leave your name and your email and eventually they get back to you and you have to go through this video submission that they do which is like online videos. The first video they ask you to do is a solo video which is a 2 minute video where you do a two minute solo freestyle beatbox. And then eventually you send that and weeks later you do the next video which is beatbox over acapellas. So they send you a bunch of acapella song that you can beatbox over. And you can use many other songs or you can use one song or you can even use your own songs if you have your own acapellas and you do a two minute video of that where you have acapellas and beat-boxing behind it and see what you do with that. And then the third video will be covers, so the third video is where you beatbox covers of songs that are already out there and try to like imitate the way they sound. When they get the three videos, they score the videos in different categories that they do. I’m not really quite sure what all of them are, but some of them are like musicality, technicality, flow, and how clear you are with your sounds. And the top 16 from these videos get to go to the championships to make an actual bracket tournament beat-boxing battle of what they do here is one minute rounds until the finals. The finals are one minute and a half rounds. But different rules apply to other places like in Canada and other places overseas I think like Germany, they do elimination rounds where they take all the beatboxers to the event, you don’t have to sign up before before and you go onstage and you do a two minute freestyle of your beatboxing and from there the judges pick the top sixteen and then make a bracket, so there’s no video submission because of a lot of the speed and it’s more about going to the event and doing it.

So if you want to beatbox dubstep, you got to perfect the base, which is the main concept of dubstep because it’s the reason why people like dubstep because of the base of what people call the drop. So you want to do beats that sound a little something like this. Your spacing the first kick and the snare so that you have space to fill in between with high halves or the bases. So you have Now you add the high halves and stuff or the base. Now if you add the base So if you listen to the base and if you listen to the actual kick and snare, you can tell that the kick and snare are slow in between each other but you’re hearing the base in between. So that’s where you get the wabbles from and that where you get the high halves fill ins. So So you can listen to the different speed of the actual drums and the base. But you want to master the base so that you could do that. So you got to make sure that when you do the throw base, which is you want to sort of like shake your through. Like, lets say for example you say the letter ‚Äòah’, you want to say like “ahhhhhhh,” but then you want to shake your through and go like, “ahhhhhhhhhh”. So that’s coming from you throat, you’re vocalizing it, so if I hit my throat like, “ahhhhhhhhhohhhhhhhhhh”, you can tell that it’s coming from the throat. And you can say words like “mama” if you’re doing the high pitch, “mama, mama, mama” or you can say, “Wa”. You can change the pitches, you want to have a low pitch or a high pitch. So you want to remember that you have to learn how to do the base and you have to control it so that you have the high pitch or the low pitch, whatever you want to do. It’s easier to do the low pitch first, and that’s one base you can do to do dubstep.
