TLDR;
This video provides a tutorial on how to create a specific beatboxing sound effect, often referred to as the "filter" sound. The technique involves mimicking the sound of "tissue" or "wipe" and manipulating vocal frequencies to achieve a dynamic effect. The tutorial emphasizes precision and smoothness, referencing beatboxer Mimi Maru as an example of someone who uses the sound effectively.
- The sound is achieved by saying "tissue tissue" without vocals.
- The filter effect is created by manipulating vocal frequencies.
- Smooth transitions between high and low frequencies are key to mastering the sound.
Introduction to the Tissue Sound [0:04]
The tutorial begins by introducing a beatboxing sound that, while not overly complex, requires precision to execute well. The foundation of the sound involves repeating the word "tissue" without using your voice. By practicing this repetition, you can start to isolate the core components of the sound.
Breaking Down the Technique [0:16]
To further refine the sound, the instructor suggests slowing down the "tissue" repetition and reversing the order of the sounds. This exercise helps in understanding and controlling each element of the sound. The "tissue tissue" sound then transitions into a "wipe" sound, adding another layer to the technique.
Achieving Smooth Transitions [0:34]
The next step involves smoothing out the transitions between sounds to create a more fluid beatboxing effect. The tutorial explains that the filter effect is similar to adjusting a filter to emphasize lower frequencies, and then opening it up to include higher frequencies. This creates a dynamic range within the sound.
Example and Conclusion [0:51]
The video references beatboxer Mimi Maru as an example of someone who effectively uses the filter sound in their performances. The tutorial concludes by encouraging viewers to practice and refine the technique to incorporate it into their own beatboxing.
