Trumpet Yelps with Inflection and Excitement

[bbcoach]

I'm curious, for those of you that have several years of experience with the trumpet (I'm a newbie), how do you break up your yelps and add inflection, so you aren't a monotone caller?  Or can you?  With pots, diaphragms and boxes, which I am fairly proficient with, I can add hiccups and a good deal of inflection and excitement into my calling.  I know some will say Practice but is there some tidbits of instruction that will help?

mix it up, practice single clucks and yelps at diffrent volumes, then practice a cluck and a yelp and vise versa and so on, your transitions will get faster with time and it'll become muscle memory (which makes it hard for me to explain). Dont get in a hurry trying to string it all together. Just my 2 cents, so hopefully this helps a little.

IMHO the secret to mastering the trumpet yelper is mastering the control of air first; and every trumpet draws air slightly different. When you can control air draw up and down the "musical" scale low to high and high to low, adding inflection and excitement comes natural as you speed up and slow down the air draw. Controlling air draw and seeing how long you can hold the draw, then holding the draw high to low and low to high, will reduce that learning curve.
