  • So many people have asked me what this tube is and how it works. Well here's my explanation for you guys! I can't wait to teach you guys how to use the Talkbox in upcoming videos!

    To explain HOW it works:
    There is a little speaker inside the talbox, so when you connect an instrument to it, your sound is now coming out of this little speaker instead of out of your amp or speakers. Since the enclosure is air tight other than the tube, the sound travels through the tube and comes out in your mouth. From there, you can make movements with your mouth to get the talkbox sound! It is similar to putting your phone speaker in your mouth with a song playing and making mouth movements (try it, it works).

      So is it basically like the vibration from the keyboard is transferred to the tube, which acts like the vocal chords vibrating air?

    So if you're not using your vocal chords, does this mean that mute people can use the talkbox to sing? 🤔

      @@gav-ce5cm Thanks. It makes sense to me since most mute people are hearing and would be familiar with the sounds of language, and even deaf individuals can receive speech therapy to learn how to speak. I believe speech therapists could utilize this technology to give a voice to mute people, and enable them to sing. I think this is especially important for people who were able to use their voice box in the past and enjoyed singing, but lost that ability at some point. There is an old anti-tobacco ad of a man singing a western song with a hole in his throat, to which he applies a device much like the talkbox which applies sound vibrations through the hole and out his mouth, so he can speak, but one of his lyrics literally says, "but you can't sing worth a darn," and that's because his device only uses one note. The talkbox is flexible in being able to use many notes. We also have voice banks like TtsMP3 which automatically changes inflection of its electronic speech according to the patterns in different languages and dialects. If the technology which enables the talkbox and TtsMP3 could be combined, I believe we could have a device that enables vastly improved speech independence for mute people, and even the joy of singing!

    Hey man, I'm a little late to the party, but I really appreciate these posts. I got super into the idea of trying the talkbox out on my songs after listening to Zapp and Roger most of my life and after watching you and Swatkins use it. I bought that same one you have the other day and am just now trying it out. It seems a bit more complicated to me than it might be, but with some practice and assistance, I'm excited to see where this goes. Thanks again for the informative videos and I hope to continue to see more in the future. Keep up the good work brother!

    • @bsidethebox
      @bsidethebox 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'll answer here as well as in the "can mute people sing with the TalkBox" comment above. There are a couple of "electrolarynx" devices similar to the TalkBox that are more commonly used to facilitate speech for people who have damaged/missing/paralyzed vocal chords. The tube and keyboard is bulky and would be awkward to carry around for everyday speech, but are a couple of more common types I know of: the most similar one to the TalkBox is a device that creates a base tone in a small speaker held in the mouth (often integrated into a retainer or dentures) which is controlled via an external switch. Basically the TalkBox minus the tube and keyboard.
      The other is an external device that is basically a vibrator on a pressure switch. When pressed against the skin of the throat over the larynx/vocal chords, it "buzzes" the chords. Basically, both types of devices allow the user to speak by providing a single tone/vibration that is then modulated through mouth/lip/tongue positioning to produce speech sounds. The TalkBox expands on this mechanic by allowing tone modulation via the keyboard.
      These devices (and the TalkBox) would only be useable for those who are dealing with specific mechanical forms of mutism. Difficulty producing speech has loads of causes and many wouldn't be helped with the addition of tone/vibration: low muscle tone in the mouth and tongue, mental blocks triggered by trauma or anxiety (selective mutism), apraxia (where the brains struggles to communicate with/coordinate muscles), etc would need different solutions.
