What a World Champion Whistler Sounds Like | National Geographic

the primary difference is between an
average Whistler that you might hear
just on the street and champion and
artistic Whistler are a couple of
factors one is the range you know how
high and low can you go now there are
the techniques that people use for
example I’ve developed all these funky
techniques is the regular lip whistle
but I can also whistle with my tongue
and then go so I use those as
embellishments to mimic an instrument or
to add diversity and it really helps me
and interpret the music in a more
interesting way there are many ways to
keep one’s lips conditioned I don’t kiss
for example 24 hours before a
performance because kissing makes your
lips mushy and we cannot have mushy lips
and be a champion and I drink ice water
but perhaps most importantly is my best
friend
chapstick there is a handful of people
around the world who can whistle love to
whistle and have turned a routine type
of sound into heart
