    So many of you have asked me to create a Kulning tutorial in English. It's really 10 minutes scratch on the surface of the art of kulning, but I hope you can find inspiration and the way to more knowledge.

    Thanks for all the lovely comments! I'm working on publishing more videos and tutorials. Hope to inspire you to go out into the woods and raise your voices in Kulning.

    I learned from drunk Navajo that it's all in the ululation. The ululation makes sound actually travel further, plus the human ear picks it up easier than a flat tone. ALSO if you can find an echo, then you can whoop, and then count until the echo returns and with that information you can determine range. According to the person who told me that ancient indians used to use that technique to measure distances over miles.

    Okay, I have to say, this really struck a chord with me, no pun intended!!
    The first time I found my voice was when I was in children's choir at 10, then continued singing by myself. At one point I began to test myself to see if I actually had a VOCAL RANGE -- and ended up going pretty high. Me -- Soprano.
    Then I got into community college and was back with a group there.
    There was so much that I learned. However, I had never heard of kulning until now!
    I never realized this beautiful Swedish form of singing could make a difference for me.
    This could be a good way for me to rediscover the confidence in my voice and perhaps keep working on my larynx and my vocal range!

    P.S. I am actually pitch-perfect. Don't wanna brag, but I gotta be honest.

    I practiced this and my cats ran over to me purring loudly with huge eyes.
