Donald Duck voice...

Post by cody »

I searched around, and this has been bothering me for a LONG time.

HOW do you do the Donald Duck voice...maybe some sinple instructions? I've been to one site that tried to explain it, but it didn't do it to well. PLEASE I REALLY WANT TO KNOW!!! BTW i'm new :D

Well, its rather easy to do the basic sound - you close your teeth and force out air from the back of your mouth through your cheeks. Actually making the words somewhat distinguishable, or doing it as good as the guys who've voiced the duck in cartoons through the years, is the hard part!

I admit I've practiced quite a few times (in private of course :D ), and the only sentance I can manage to make sound even remotely understandable is "What's the big idea?"

I don't close my teeth, but I swell my tounge to force the air to go behind my rear teeth on the right side to my cheek.

Phrases that I've mastered:

"OH BOY!"
"Watcha doin Unca Donald?"

And the most important: Donald's upset, shouting, fighting mad sound. (You have to shake your head really fast to get that one out correctly.)

As a general rule, sounds that take a lot of tounge finesse are the hardest.

I tend to put my tounge on the roof of my mouth, contract my jaw muscles slightly, and add a bit of salvia to my speech while I force the air through.

It seems to work well.

I do a fairy decent Sean Connery and Stitch as well.

I'm also available for children's parties.

I can make Donald Duck sounds. But like Jack said, the hard parts talking!

I can do a good Roger Rabbit though.

I can do Donald Duck, but my words are even more hard to understand than Donald's
