Sygyt   Message List

I have found it quite unable to get a good Sygyt voice.

I've gotten a strong khoomei voice and a kargyraa voice that doesn't
hurt! (not to toot my own horn of course) In any case, with these two
operations going on fine and well, I still can't seem to get a Sygyt
whistle. I get a tiny whistle sound by moving my tongue back and forth
(and can control it into a melody) but I can't seem to get that
whistle louder than the base/root voice (if you know what I mean)

I've tried putting the tip of my tongue on the roof of my mouth (as
I've heard that is what to do) but I lose the whistling sound when I
do that.

In other words . . . Help!

If anybody has even slightly figured out Sygyt, any help would gladly
be appreciated.

Thanks!

Kyle

Thanks for your help y'all! By the way, when you say "the roof of your mouth," is there a specific place on the roof or does that not matter. I,e. in the back,...

Unfortunately you'll need to experiment. Each person's anatomy is unique so the location for one person to hit the sygyt whistle may not work for another...

The easiest way I've found to work on controlling the overtones, without straining the vocal cords: practice with an electric toothbrush! Without singing....
