If you’ve ever wondered how this funky mechanic build lets us do some cool stuff with our voices, it’s time to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By inserting the plastic tube halfway into your mouth, you’re directing the sound of the synth or guitar into your mouth. By changing the shape of your mouth (talking without actually saying anything), you’re vocalising the sound of the synth or guitar (modulating it<\/a><\/strong><\/span>) into the shape<\/strong> of the words you’re mouthing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This warped sound is then sent back through the Talk Box and all the way to the output!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Musicians began using Talk Boxes in the 1930s. In those days musicians started playing with throat microphones<\/strong> made for pilots to modulate their voices!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon the arrival of 1964, what we now call Talk Boxes were being recorded in live music. Pete Drake<\/strong> is one of the first known artists to use Talk Boxes in his track “Forever”.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho Has Used Talk Boxes in Their Music?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
