For the longest time I couldn't whistle, not even a little. Family and friends told me if I kept practicing I would eventually get the hang of it.
Now, 27 years and hours of practice later, I can proudly say that they were wrong. I still can't whistle.
Webberjo nice
inkd_cali86 Why would you even TRY THAT
😂
inkd_cali86 a small penis?
10:13 technically she can still whistle.. while blowing on my whistle
This is one of those 3:00 AM videos
huh, it's 3:15 am for me..
Exams preparation in computer scince*
It’s 2 AM for me
Almost to the minute :D
It's 3 rn man tf
Man: I escaped from North Korea.
Camera guy: Oh wow.
Right!? Sounds so bored or sarcastic like sorry, only escaped north Korea xD
Yea😂
Calls the CIA
Man: i lost my entire family, my heart aches for them every day, i can feel death creep closer every ticking minute and whistling is the only thing keeping me together
Camera guy: ok
That has to be the least impressed 'oh wow' ever.
I am a professional breather. I breath air 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for 39 years.
I've received many awards at the Cloud Academy Awards 30,000 feet in the air.
You turned on manual breathing thanks man
Congrats dude! Wish I could be that good one day XD
SILENCE BRAND
@leon gary dont forget the times he had to hold his breath
😂😂😂😂😂
the old japenese dude with lung problems was the happiest, most energetic person i've ever seen.
reminded me of the applepen dude
lolz you are so right... its 2:04am where im at... and i have class tomorrow xD
That’s why they are one of the longest living people. In one part of Okinawa the average age is over 100 with 5 generations alive at once!
Their lifestyle and diet are possibly bigger factors, but happiness always helps!
Oscar Armstrong yeah he was awesome.
This man escaped north korea and now lives in the us and is a professional whistler... If that isnt a life story then i dont know what is
Did he? How did he escape?
@@rosemary.-6576 8:52 -- it's not the filmmaker
The guy who escaped North Korea is a absolute coward. He left his wife and two children who he brought into this world to fend for themselves in a ruthless country.
TurtleBeacher I believe he escaped North Korea to South Korea and then left his family in South Korea to go to the US. So, no, he did not leave them in North Korea.
TurtleBeacher that’s how it’s been done the whole time people have been coming to America. They send the man over and he gets a job and finds residence then he sends for his family.
10:16 bruh her tongue is literally a cylinder
James Barnett its a tube😂
I'm kinda addin that to my whistle list.....encourage me
ITS A SAUSAGE!!!!
@@saade7663 haha esh im really close to fetting that whistle and popularizing in beatbox scene
@@mshbeatbox i still get a really slight note in that toungue position using ralik whilst method...m i close?
IT'S FRAKIN HARD 😡
Whistling is such a lost art. When someone is whistling it creates a peacefulness. A hostile environment can be diffused by whistling. My dad was a very beautiful whistler. He could do bird. Songs and lovely toons.
Whenever I hear someone whistling nicely I always thank them and encourage them.
Yondu would beg to differ.
I have misophonia. I really can't stand whistling. It makes me aggressive all the time. Don't know why, but it just happens.
It's truly a shame and weird how it is so ubiquitous yet no one is aware of it. It's such a unique way to create sound using just your body with no instruments yet it's shoved under the rug due to social norms and stigmas
For me, it's just annoying. lol
The world needs more people like ya dude (:
"Join me in whistling or singing the National Anthem."
I lost it.
Me too 😂
Lol..you won't be given such options anywhere else
followed by "truly an international event" ...
I hope you find it
Facts
The double whistle thing blew my mind!
yeah I know, I mean I knew Tuvan Throatsinging existed but now I am gonna spend the next month awkwardly spitting at my monitor with my tongue out my mouth trying this
The guy at 4:40 is also doing a chord and his tongue isn't sticking out tho
Truly incredible. I'm lost for words
dude, what the hell? How did she do that??
I lost my shit literally
This video has so much authentic humanity. No ego, no anger, no ulterior motives just people forming a community around the fact that they enjoy whistling. Its actually quite beautiful
Damn CZcams recommended is getting awesome.
I loved every minute of this.
Man escapes North Korea to find his dream... WHISTLING!
I got on youtube this morning to try to figure out why my mouse wouldn't work, and now I am watching a documentary about competitive whistling. Not disappointed.
Edit: Holy crap almost 2k likes! Ty all! I found out my problem and just had to update some drivers and the mouse worked fine!
Michael Connelly but why doesn’t your mouse work?
@@SuPeRCoDMaN7 He hasnt fed it thats why. xD
Did you fix your mouse tho?
i recommend hamsters
I hope your mouse is ok tho
I've got tourettes syndrome, and one of my tics just happens to be involuntarily whistling whenever I hear other whistle sounds. This video was hard to get through lol
Is it funny or tragic or ironic? i don't know...
@@quebradao2 i think the "lol" signifies that we can laugh. :)
do a reaction video
@@LYNXzTwist you monster
Someone send this to Sweet Anita on twitch, she has tourettes too and will prolly get ticked by this too.
Where my ‘can’t whistle’ bois at
We here!
It's sounds like a queef when I try to whistle
undrachevr noice
Whistling is like swimming every one can do it with practice
John Francis oh I’ve tried
7:41
That’s why you you’re here, you’re welcome.
Impressive, I hope to whistle at some level 10 levels short of this and master Amazing Grace
that double whistle was dope AF
I can't whistle. Never could. One day, during a visit to the doctor about snoring, he noticed that my tongue's frenulum (the little stringy fiber that connects my tongue to the bottom of my mouth) was unusually far forward. As it turns out, I'm not simply bad at whistling, I am actually physically incapable of it. Thanks, science!
this may be why i cannot whistle. i tried quite often for over a decade now and only managed to whistle once accidentally. the way i have to position my tongue and lips is simply too specific because of my frenulum.
hahah i just realised that breathing in makes me whistle!!! oh my god it has been 10 years and i only just fucking discovered.
this is fucking great i'm FINALLY satisfied.
Well im able to whistle with tongue pushed down as far as it goes or to the top, I can even whistle with food inside my mouth so idk how that thing is stopping you from whistling
TheL aw
yes because pushing your tongue as far down as you can or as far as it can go to the top will definitely move their frenulum forward to allow for whistling. wow dude, thanks for your wise wisdom and guidance.
I never knew Stanley was a world-class whistler.
Nickelgoose just about to comment that
Stanley can be surprising
LMAOOOOO
LMAOOOOO IM SCREAMING FJSJJFJSKFKSKALLALDKSLSLSK😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
Literally Nobody:
CZcams: You like whistling?!
Chris I dont even know how to whistle lmfao
Theblack man wearing the suit whistling was so amazing I got shivers. He was outstanding.
dude sounded like a legit bird lol was awesome to be honest.
He’s definitely the worlds best Whistler
TheHornyEnglishMan it's just whistling lol don't stain your drawers
3Z14 IS D34d can you whistle like that? Nope.
RIP Purple Tac HAHA! I don't want to, nor do I need to, sooo not sure what you're trying to prove lol. You're done here.
Imagine applying for a regular job and having "professional Whistler " on your resume.
H i r e d
Hahaha
Imagine applying for a regular job....
Do you mean wrestler?
No, it's whistler.
Imagine having ascended to "professional whistler" and then having to apply for a regular job. Oh how the mighty hath fallen.
Date: What do you do for living?
Me: i whistle
In russia we have proverb, that can be translated literaly like "if u witsle u will have no money". Basicaly it means to not lower your ur attention, but still... This guys makes money from that :)
@@Demondo2 this is true!!! 😂😂😂 Whenever I whistled there people will look at me horrified and tell me to stop 😂😂
Oof, there's nobody from the Canary Islands in there.
They've got a dying whistling language in one of the islands, it's amazing.
Hala Madrid
Sylbo is awesome
😲
I’m surprised how beautiful a whistling competition could be, thank you for showing different beautiful things that exist in the world!
That double whistle blew my freaking mind
Berleezy's Pause Face omg ikr!!!
Berleezy's Pause Face like, what in the actual fuck
4:40
If y’all wanna know when it’s at 10:08 hopefully I saved some time for u guys
Lol that's not that hard.
I just watched almost 15 minutes worth of people whistling.
*awesome*
A double whistle?!? WTF? Blew my mind.. make two holes with one mouth. Just when you think you know everything....
Verisimilitude Dude bruh ☠️🤣
Ahhh the ol double tone whistle.
*Pat's belly*
Back in my day......
Look up polyphonic overtone singing :D
@@bitbrain3468 Look up Polyphonic Voice and Double voice. only Beatboxers will know ;)
10:15 The double what? Holy crap! How... geez!
Right!? I've gotta figure out how to do that!
magreen85 Let me know once you've figured it out. I have no clue whatsoever what position that tongue is in!
it looks like she is making her tongue long, thin and rigid to allow for each side of her mouth to act as a resonating chamber
she's probably also doing weird stuff with her cheek and throat muscles to control the pitch
I don't know for certain just kind of guessing
if you have a wide tongue you might not be able to do that
or it might take a while to learn how to control the muscles for that position
fucking blew my mind
Who else on here tried to do the double whistle and failed?!LOL
i ditched school to sleep more at home but it’s nice seeing other people do something esle
skippd cause going back after lunch was harder than just walkin home
I ditched to school to steal cans of red bull at Walmart
pablo henrique and this is why weebs will never get anywhere in life.
The lady said she whistles to handle her anxiety made me tear up a little. As a veteran I searched for things to “on the spot” downgrade my anxiety. Whistling is one of my methods, as it brings me back from the expanded issues in my mind day to day. Now, my oldest daughter has caught on, so anytime she hears me whistle we “whistle-talk”. This is no Sylbo mind you, but she knows it calms me down and we have fun with it. With the help of my children this has become one of the most powerful grounding methods that I’ve found for myself. It works for me to pull myself out of aforementioned expanded issues and plants me right where I should be, whistling with two amazing young ladies.
4:41 when you show up for a test u didn‘t study for.
qToby dont juge him
Listen again, it's a two voice whistle, practically a chord...
Thats the best comment here
More like "when you show up to take two different tests at the same time"
6:56 So this is what happened to Stanley after The Office ended.
Mark Fernandez LMAO
UNDERRATED
I THOUGHT OF THATTTT
HAHHAHAHAHAH GOD DAMMIT
Epic
“I escaped north korea when I was 15 years old.”
“...ohh, wow.”
lol
Fucking kek
Huh cool
interviewer didn't know how to respond and made himself look dumb lol
When i was 15, i didnt have the courage to leave my house, let alone create a new life, in another country. How easy some of us have it, makes me wonder.
I've been whistling all my life and I'd like to think i'm pretty good. I never knew there was a competition/gathering like this for other whistlers! i'm not afraid to say that watching this brought tears of joy to my eyes. thank you so much for uploading this! I now have a new goal in my life. make it to Louisburg N.C. for this event!
@Beth Duffy Do you get on youtube just to try and make people feel bad?
I love this short well done documentaies about seemingly uninteresting stuff. Grat Job!!!
That professional whistler has such an outstanding whistle tho. how is that even possible
Magic and the dark arts
@@heavyrain5949 it actually depends on their toungs
@@@jose-gr7jg
I always thought it was magic and the dark arts :(
@@heavyrain5949 hahaha
Practice
No one:
CZcams at 3AM: Hey, wanna watch a documentary about competitive whistling?
Me: Sure :D
Dont know how I ended here
Us: Yea why tf not
It's 1:45AM for me, but close enough.
Milko Garces literary watching at 3:00 AM rn
Awesome video! Make some more documentaries, you definitely have the talent for it and I’m not just whistling Dixie!!! Couldn’t resist!
it's like watching a bird competition but it's humans! awesome!
poor me, I can't whistle.
My kids make fun of me!
Could a choir of whistlers be called a flock?
I think it is. Either way, if there's no official name it's up to you.
Boom, two wrong facts that are facts but are also wrong.
A choir of Whistlers would mean Blade would've defeated Frost and Demonskinos much faster
Lol I was hoping at least one person would whistle Dixie
I'd call them a purse.
I choir of whistlers would be called a...
Choir
This video broke my dog. He wagged his tail so hard that he's paralyzed
@Ivory Birchman Drax from guardians of the galaxy?

Judd Romano HELL YEAH I WANNA HEAR THAT
IT MUST BE DONE
I DONT KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT
LOOOOOOOL
Great video thank you for sharing. Had no idea they had competitions like this
Pretty crazy stuff, I’d love to attend some out of the ordinary things like this. Honestly never knew this existed, great job and video!
At first I was like "I'm pretty good at whistling, maybe I should give this a shot" then I saw 10:13 and thought "another one of my dreams crushed before it even began"
Same here
What dafuq happend to her tounge?
TreachourusJdogg omg I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣
@@wolfy4734 curl it
I can say that bit was haunting, how the heck?!? Burnt it with fire!
4:40 You vs. the person she tells you not to worry about 7:45
Cranky brooooooskskjsksbdhehvq
Yeah that guy sounded like he couldn’t even whistle at all
Cranky 😂 hahahah
Dylan Chevalier I think he was trying to do that double whistle technique but wasn't great at it
Dylan Chevalier he was whistling two pitches at the same time hats why it sounded weird
That double whistling technique and the sound it makes is awesome!
ok that double whistle is actually super impressive 10:07
Not many people can say they escape north Korea and survived, let alone leave his parents and family and use whistling to help with the thoughts.
Oliver Kinghorn yeah.. cause all the ones who died are dead.. duh
really touched me when he said he misses his parents. It hurted me to know he may not be able to see them and probably not been in contact with them for so many years now. Pinches my heart really.
I used to be in a Taekwondo organization where the grandmaster led the North Korean mob out of North Korea.
Hit me right in feels fr like damn
this ;_;
I can die knowing i saw everything
You didn't see GTA 6.
I'm so glad I stopped and listened to this awesome video! I loved it! I'm already dreaming over going to a competition with children I don't even have yet just to have the unique experience of witness such amazing talent in real life!
Thank You for sharing this video and people experiences and reasons why they whistle.
Beautiful
there is something beautiful about seeing people from different races and ethnicity and diverse backgrounds getting along, and bonding with each other over something that seems to be so silly to many others.
It seems like the world is so divided political and accusations of racism, at least on the internet.
Its very refreshing to see everyone so happy to just do something they enjoy.
If there was more passion about silly things in the world, perhaps people could get along more. connecting with someone different than yourself and seeing them as another human and not just a black man, or a white or asian man, or republican or democrat, we could all just be whistlers someday.
Well said :)
Then you remember it's these people's passion and that they have much more of a life than you.
*DID YOU JUST SAY WHISTLING IS SILLY* (Triggered)
メレデス 👍🏼
"divided by ACCUSATIONS OF racism" 🤔
This is a strangely touching story but seeing all these people unite over their passion and seeing their tolerance for eachother is amazing, great video.
you,re saying this because of the blacks lol
this video warms my heart bro nothing makes me happier than seeing a group of people from everywhere in the world being passionate about one thing
My father was the best whistler I have ever heard he loved whistling especially whistling the US sitcom 'Cheers' he caught facial cancer and couldn't whistle no more,he was devastated. Rest in Peace Father I will see you again.
I loved this. It's truly a documentary that has such heart and that human element that is so lacking in media today. And what a message of hope.
I'm almost 25 and still can't whistle... that's some damn talent these folks got!
Molly Burke got this in your recommendations too?
It's not talent, it's called practice and patience.
@@minhngoctran2930 she's blind
Anyone can whistle. That's what they say. Easy. Anyone can whistle. Any old day. Easy. Anyone? Musical theatre? No? Okay.
@@SpicyNoodlzz she's blind she probably just needs someone to like manipulate her lips to the right shape
Great documentary. Definitely needs more recognition. I love this.
This made me happy. Thank you for taking your time to share your story.
That double whistle technique is extraordinary.
It's like magic
She’s great!
The North Korean man... bless him...
Btw BEAUTIFUL and wonderfully executed video! I would love to see more of these eccentric documentaries type vids on these niché hobbies. SUBBED
Nice! I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you!
me, trying the double whistle, knowing I can't even whistle normally: *_pffhhh_*
Same😂🤣😂😂😂🤣
me, trying the double whistle, normally being fully able to wistle: still *_pffhhh_*
Why you didn't called me to this selection? I'm the best whistler ever!
Vinheteiro I love you
Oh I am subbed to you
ō_ō
OMG
I subbed to you
I used to live in Louisburg!! The Whistlers Convention has since shut down due to the death of the gentleman who organized it (the man at 2:47) Mr. De Hart was a huge part of the Louisburg community, funding and organizing a lot of big events. (If you ever visit, be sure to check out the beautiful De Hart Botanical Gardens, which was named after him due to his major contributions to it!)
Louisburg is a small town full of incredible people, and you could probably make several documentaries about it. It's full of history, too! If you're ever nearby, be sure to check it out!!
Im just outside due to work, alot. So I whistle. It passes the time, it entertains me and also the people around me.
In some parts of my town where Im more regularly around, I have been dubbed the Birdman (Vogelmann in german), by the local residents, mostly senior people, who still remember a time where people whistled more regularly, just because they felt like it or were more happy maybe, and I find that very endearing.
Some even greet me with "How can you always have such a good mood?"
I really don't, but whistling either masks it or helps me get one : )
The complimentary chapstick was a nice touch
Wow that black dude was absolutely insane. Im absolutely blown away.
He whistled for Cirque Du Soleil.
CptWigglestheWiggly Do you know his name?
Game Boy Sean Lomax
You racist, only see the race first. Next time say: the guy in the suit with the mustache. OMG im so tired of this racism.
lol, is that a pun?
I love all the people doing stuff from musicals, singing in the rain, my favorite things and I live in NC, I'll have to check it out
Proof yet again that music , in many forms, brings humanity together in peace, love, and friendship.
This video confirms that ive been on youtube for too long today.
James Burgess lmao
James Burgess 😂🤣😂
Same here 😂🙃😥
Dude and I watched the whole thing!!!
James Burgess tbh me too, should stop I think
Holy cow. That 2 tone whistling was amazing. What a fun thing to watch. Whistling is under rated. I listened to a whistling performer when I was a kid and loved it ever since.
Who knew this could be so heartwarming, your a great filmmaker bro
Really loved this
I want to become the best doctor
I want to become the best mathematician
I want to become the best artis
Hold my beer I WANT TO BECOME THE BEST WHISTLER IN THIS EARTH
Musial Felix After hearing that dude whistle Ave Maria I wouldn’t be surprised
I also wish to be the best artis
“This earth” how many earths are there?
Zeras1 it’s not that uncommon of a thing to say.
Lucas Riddle Still doesn’t make sense
I didn't know what to expect when I clicked on this video, but I was pleasantly surprised to watch a story about a group of people being happy and getting together about something they loved.
Beautiful guys, well done. Hope to see more of this
I used to listen to Sean at Subase when he was in the Navy! He worked downstairs from me. It was wonderful!
I’ve thought for years I’ve been missing something in my life.
*this was it*
This is it chief? Really?
Hahaha 😂
Love the username 👌🏻👌🏻👏🏼👏🏼
Next level screen name, Mr beast would be proud
this was way more interesting than i thought it could be
Just WOW!!! cool video but even cooler vibe. I like this from top to bottom everything.
That double whistle was mad impressive
“I escaped from North Korea”
“Oh waaoowww”
Lol come on dude you didn’t sound impressed at all 😂
Devon Hodges this oh waoow sound like "I finish dark soul in hardcore noob"
I believe he was going to say it with more conviction, but soon realized that the man was continuing his story, so.. he kinda gave up in the middle of the "oh wow"
I've never typed "whistling" into a search bar in my life... just sayin'
Ikr holyshit how the f did I get this recommendation
Same lol. There's some Juicy characters in this game. Real whistle fighters. The guy from India is number 1 P4P
Yet, here we all are. I'm just as confused.
Lmao
wkwkwkwkw cool man
You did a fabulous job Ian! Your short film should be on Netflix or a short reality series. So cool! I'm a decent whistler! I should practice and join you at the next contest!
Great story and inspiring for me. Thank you
I never thought I'd say this, but the guy at 7:40 almost had me in tears with his whistle - most people can't manage that much emotion in their singing. Just mind blowing.
P.S. - just seeing now that he won the championship, and I'm incredibly happy hahaha
Mind blowing? Don't you mean ... air blowing?
If he won the championship then whistle has a long road ahead in classic music world.
whats that song called again
Goosebumps time
Aditya Diwan ave maria
Imagine that on ur resume
John Smith great comment hahah
instantly hired
Sometimes I need some type of background noise to help me concentrate. Your hired .
They would never get a job. Imagine sitting next to someone whistling all day long for about a year or 2... nonstop
J they don’t have to....
This is so cool! I'm glad I came across it once again.
Shocked to see how many people show up to this event.
Not really. If i heard about a whistling competition, you better believe I'm going. Plus plenty of other people. Who wouldn't want to see a whistling competition. So strange of a thing lol
Chris young how many???? LOL do you live in a real small town. You can walk into a chipotle at lunch time with more people.
Matthew Schwenker google search sarcasm to begin with buddy. Then move on to satire. And if you get that far learn about hyperbole.
Matthew Schwenker r/wooosh
Many are from across North Carolina who go as a tradition since the competition has been held since 1974
Double whistling, WHAT!? First time I've ever seen that, have never even imagined it!
inkd_cali86 Im not gonna shave
That was wild from start to finish.
Really well-made video. Must have been quite the experience!
Loved this video. Thank you!
Really great 🙏👍👍
I didn't even know there was a thing called whistling competitions, whistling groups...... but it is really interesting! Thanks Jubilee for showcasing these unknown but interesting talents! ❤
