Description

Method

1. Firstly, break the word down into syllables (chunks). For example, microphone becomes { mi cro phone }.
2. Now, you need to say each syllable slightly louder than you would normally say it and keep them short - { MI CRO PHONE }.
3. Next, you need to generate the echoes. The echoes are ventriloquised. This means you say them without moving your lips. Also, you only need to say the very end of each syllable.
   • MI becomes NGI
   • CRO becomes RO (pronounced ROW)
   • PHONE becomes ONE (pronounced OWN)
4. So the pattern becomes:
   • { MI NGI NGI }
   • { CRO ROW }
   • { PHONE OWN OWN }
   {MI NGI NGI CRO ROW PHONE OWN OWN }
5. Now, each syllable, e.g. MI and its echoes needs to be exactly the same pitch and each echo gets slightly quieter by the same amount. The final pattern becomes : {MI NGI NGI CRO ROW PHONE OWN OWN }

• TWO : { TWO OO OO OO }
• BASS : { BASS ACE ACE }
• I LIKE TO BEATBOX : { I I I LIKE EYEG TO OO BEAT EED EED BOX OC OC OC }
