SOUND OFF & STAND OUT!
Inside all of us is a very special mouth sound that's just dying to get out. Now you can hail a cab in style with the "2-Finger Taxi Whistle." Dazzle a date with your "Puppy Whine." Perk up a dull sales meeting with the "Hawaiian Nose Hum." Spice up your out-going phone message with the "Baby Voice." Or maybe you just want let loose with a well-timed artificial "Stomach Growl." If so, MOUTHSOUNDS is for you.
Author, actor, and sound master Fred Newman is the (not-so-quiet) genius you hear on the weekly public radio program A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor; in movies--such as Gremlins I & II and Who Framed Roger Rabbit?-- and daily on the PBS award-winning reading series Between the Lions. Now Fred shares the secrets of sound making in MOUTHSOUNDS, a book and CD combo that teaches you how to whistle, pop, boing, and honk. Become a Human Beat Box, perform "Purple Haze" in duck quacks, summon your terrier (or teenager) with the "Fingerless Whistle," and amaze family and friends with your rendition of "Titanic: The Movie in 20 Seconds." Even learn to create your own character voices--monsters, babies, old folks, and animals.
CRANK UP THE VOLUME
Mastering sound making is easy with the book's step-by-step instructions, photos and diagrams--and the enhanced audio CD that demonstrates each sound and doubles as an interactive CD-ROM for your computer. You can watch video clips and hear Fred perform the five sound stories included in the book. You can even listen to a live rendition of "The Fred Newman School of Audio Realism" with Garrison Keillor on A Prairie Home Companion.
MORE THAN 200 SOUND EFFECTS
Based on the latest sound theory, with a solid grounding in vocal techniques, MOUTHSOUNDS is the only complete guide to vocal sound making.

And, it's a must-have for anyone who wants to stand out using sound!
