Title: purrs on a mouth call?
Post by: ghillie on March 31, 2012, 11:18:30 PM
Trying to broaden my bag of tricks and I just can't seem to get this one down.  I practice and practice but I just can't seem to get it to sound worth a crap. Do you growel in your throat? ?  Roll your tongue?  Flap your lips??  LOL !

Any tips from the experts??

I don't know if you've seen this yet or not. I put this clip together a few years ago. Maybe it will help.

ghillie in no way am I a pro but I have had the same problem. I can now do all  three of the methodes you mentioned. I found alot of it is the type of call more than anything else. Technique comes with practice.  Keep at it and don't get frustrated.  :anim_25:

Try the TomBomb! It's a much easier call to purr on.

the key for me was to learn to purr without the call first...like making a locust noise while fluttering your tongue against the roof of your mouth while humming a high pitched falsetto note...it takes some practice, but I can purr without a call as good as I can without one....which may not be that good ;D

I sort of growl in my throat without using my vocal chords.  Sort of a reverse snore.  Flapping my lips doesn't sound so great.

I roll both my tongue and my lips and finish with a nice sweet cluck.

I just roll my tongue but also finish with a nice low cluck. Works REAL good.
