Kind of fell into this accidentally the other day , anyone else do anything with it ? You know , kind of the Peter Frampton " Do you feel like we do " voice thingy , Joe Walsh on " Rocky Mountain Way " too . Can't really explain how I'm doing it exactly . I know I'm backing off on my embouchure a bit so a little air is being let in or out of the corners of my mouth . Then I am " mouthing " the words , not actually saying them , as I draw or blow through the harp . The tongue comes into play too . It gives you sort of a " robot " voice and the words are recognizable , although I need to work on it a bit to make them clearer . Haven't tried it out at a jam session yet to see how it plays for my buddies . I just wondered if anybody had tried it and how they might do it .

Sorry about the title of this thread ; I typed Making your harp " talk " but somehow " talk" was was cut off .

ah yeah, i did my OGM with talking through harp once, machine voice..i thought it was funny but most just found it hard to understand...i still kind of like the effect. maybe i'll do it again as the only calls i get on my landline are from charities and scammers

I'd also like to hear a clip if you can upload something.

Every time my harmonica talks, it turns out he wants his mama.
