Title: Best way to learn Owl hoot - With Mouth
Post by: C.j. on February 11, 2013, 03:00:56 PM

What is the best way to learn the owl hoot with your mouth? I have been practicing in the truck on the way to work, should I be blowing from my stomach/gut? any other tips?

Practice makeing the tone and cadence.  I force air up from my diaphragm versus just "exhaling" I also, try to get the echo sound by letting my cheeks expand.

As far as voice yelping, I may not be the best, but I have called in and killed turkeys by doing it.  I tighten my throat to get the higher pitch and somehow I get a little rasp, too.  Maybe I should record my voice calling so you get the jist.
