Method 1: Practice the effect coming from a distance.
1, breathe in. Take a deep breath and breathe in as much air as possible. The actual function of transmitting sound from space is also called the "distant effect" because it makes your voice sound as if it comes from a distance.
In order to spread sound through the air, you should use the pressure generated by squeezing a large amount of air through a narrow passage. So inhaling a lot of air is the first priority.
Practice taking deep breaths without being noticed. Take a deep breath through your nose and avoid making a "panting" sound when you take a deep breath through your mouth.
2. Lift your tongue. Put the base of the tongue near the soft palate. The soft palate is the soft part of the top of the mouth near the throat.
Replace the tip of the tongue with the root of the tongue. Your tongue should be close to the soft palate, but it didn't touch it.
This action sealed most of the throat. The opening of your throat should be narrow like this, so as to make the vague sound needed to achieve the effect.
3. Apply pressure with the diaphragm. Abdominal contraction tightens the diaphragm, which creates pressure in the lungs. The diaphragm is the muscle below the lungs. It works when breathing, and the deepest breathing is done with the diaphragm.
Because the diaphragm is located directly below the lungs and above the stomach, tightening or stretching the muscles in your upper abdomen will also make the diaphragm tense.
The pressure under the lungs compresses the airway from the lungs to the mouth and nose. This compression allows you to control your voice better and keep it in your throat.
Step 4 sigh. Exhale slowly, and the exhaled gas will sigh when it leaves the throat. Keep the respiratory tract constricted, and you can keep breathing in your throat. The resulting sigh stayed in my throat and sounded like it was coming from a distance.
Practice sighing many times like this until you get used to the feeling that sighing is reserved or coming from a distance. Every time you take a deep breath, you also contract your muscles. When you feel nervous or have a sore throat, take a rest.
5. make an "ah" sound. Repetitive control of sigh inhalation and contraction techniques. Don't make a deep sigh, but make a simple opening sound, such as "ah". The "ah" sound should be long. Pronunciation begins with exhalation and continues until you exhale all the gas in your lungs.
Be careful not to speak loudly. If anything, you have to make the sound fuzzy, because it is part of the far-reaching influence. With the increase of practice, you can slowly improve your voice. At first, we should focus on keeping the voice in our throat.
Keep practicing this skill and pronounce "ah" until you get used to it. Stop practicing when you start to feel sore throat or pain.
6. Replace "Ah" with "Help!" . When you are used to pronouncing "ah", repeat the techniques of breathing and contraction, and replace "ah" with several words, such as "help!" "Help" is a common word in ventriloquism, because air-borne sound is often used to create the illusion that a talking puppet is trapped in a box. You can also use other words, such as "let me out" or "I'm here!" . It's up to you to decide which words to use, but it's best to choose simple words, because transmitting sound through the air will make your muscles tense.
Repeat this sentence as often as possible until you get used to making such a sound.
7. Limit your practice time. Do not practice for more than 5 minutes at most. Stop practicing immediately when you feel pain in your throat or lungs or are particularly nervous.
Your throat, vocal cords and pharynx work in unusual ways. In order to avoid injury or overstretching, your exercises should be short and precise.
With the accumulation of your experience, you can extend the practice time slightly, but it should still be relatively short.
Method 2: Cover your mouth.
1, control the lips. There are three basic lip postures when transmitting sound from space: relaxed posture, smiling posture and open posture. Open your lips slightly and make a relaxed posture. Keep your chin relaxed and your upper and lower teeth apart.
Laughing posture is very common in ventriloquism performance, but it is not used as much as relaxing posture and opening posture when it produces "distance effect". Smile by supporting your chin and lips. Pull your lips into a smile with the muscles of your mouth. Your lower lip will protrude slightly more than when you smile normally.
The open posture is good for expressing shock or surprise, but some movements of the tongue may be found. Keep your mouth open so that the upper and lower jaws are clearly separated. The muscles of the mouth are slightly upturned, which can be said to be an open smile.
2. Practice simple sounds. Making some simple sounds hardly causes the chin to move. Practice every sound in front of the mirror until you get used to making these sounds without moving your mouth. The long and short sounds of five vowels (A, E, I, O, U) belong to these simple sounds.
The "C" and "G" that combine rigidity with softness are also in these simple sounds.
Other simple sounds are "D, H, J, K, L, N, Q, R, S, T, X, Z".
3. Practice challenging sounds with forward pressure. Challenging sounds, also known as "lip sounds", are achieved through the position of the tongue called "pressing forward" or "pulling down". You usually pronounce "B" and "M" by immediately closing your lips, but this action is too obvious to make people believe that this sound is not from you.
When you use "forward position", your tongue seems to replace your lips.
Touch the tip of the tongue behind the teeth quickly, with a little force. This action is done to make a sound every time the lips naturally close.
Use this technique to pronounce "b, m, p, f, v". Note that these sounds are abnormal, but this changed version is the closest to normal sound you make without moving your lips.
Don't push too hard, and don't touch the palate with your tongue. If you do this, your "B" will sound like "D" and "M" will sound like "N".
Method 3: The direction of practice is misleading
1, seek sound. One way to mislead the audience is that you are looking for the sound source just like them. Contrary to imagination, just because you spread sound through the air doesn't mean you can make your voice sound like it comes from a certain direction. Even if you master the skills, careful observers will still find that the sound is made by you.
The successful propagation of sound in the air depends on whether you have the ability to make your audience or listeners look for sound elsewhere immediately.
People instinctively look in the direction that others look. By showing that you are also "looking for" the sound source, you can effectively let many people follow your sight to find the sound source.
2. Look at a fake audio source. After you "find" the sound source, a good way to continue misleading the audience is to keep your eyes on a fake sound source. This action also follows the principle when you are looking for a fake sound source. Human curiosity makes them look where others are looking. By looking at an object or direction, the audience will naturally follow your line of sight to see that object or direction. As the hallucination continues, they may wake up, but at first they will subconsciously look at where you are looking.
3. Use nonverbal communication skills. Strengthen the illusion by reacting to what you "say", as if you were someone else. If what you say is shocking or surprising, make a gesture to express these emotions. Raise your eyebrows, pretend to inhale in surprise, and quickly cover your mouth with your hand, or put your hand on your forehead to show your disbelief.
Similarly, if what you hear makes you angry, cross your arms, turn your back on the source of the sound, or use other gestures to express your anger.
