    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 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!

      @Jonathan Jacquet yeah and a lot of ppl don’t know you don’t actually speak into the tube you have to whisper aggressively for it to sound good and the sound you use from the keyboard replaces your voice and you have to play the right note on the keyboard just like any instrument

    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!
