How can I learn to beatbox (vocal percussion)?
The simple answer is to listen to instrumental/pop music (especially the percussion/drums) and try to imitate the different sounds of each drum with your mouth (finding your own syllable and sound) and just practice every second you get (in the car, shower, doing the dishes, walking to class, etc) If you want a more structured approach, check out www.humanbeatbox.com. They have great tutorials on different syllables, spelling them out phonetically with instructional videos. Also, sites like www.beatoutsidethebox.com, www.mouthdrumming.com, www.discoverahobby.com, www.acappellafoundation.org, wikihow, and YouTube can really get your proverbial ball rolling and help you find your sounds and what works for you.
