I was just made known about SoundCloud and love it. Here is a series of yelp/purrs/clucks.

Please tell me what I need to do differently, or if I am good to go and just need to keep practicing.

I like your clucks and purrs better than your yelps.  On the yelps, try picking up your cadence a bit, aiming for about 3 notes per second, and shortening the length of the individual notes by about half.

Does this sound a little better? I apologize for the extra noise in the clip. That is my daughter sitting next to me.

I would still shorten the length of the individual yelp.  It's hard to explain on a message board.  I once called like you until an expert turkey hunter took me aside and showed me what the cadence should be.  The next morning I called in a tom by myself.  Keep at it.

No.  It sounds very monotone like a seal.

Break each call into 2 notes YE-LP.

The videos that JBIRD22 posted were very good videos...  Also, play some recordings of real birds, or good callers, and compare them to the sounds you are making...  This is a method I find very useful to myself...  In my own head, I sound great, until I compare my calling to real birds or good sounding callers.

I should also mention that as far as mouth calls (or any other calls for that matter), I am still on a pretty steep learning curve myself...  I was a bit disappointed to hear recordings of myself calling recently.
Did I do that?
