"For these next two segments, we're going to be covering scratching and making robot noises, both of which kind of sound really goofy by themselves, especially when you're practicing. But don't be discouraged, because once you get these sounds going they're going to blow everyone away. Two words that you can think of when you're scratching. One is era, and the other is wicka. Kind of like Wikipedia, but a lot cooler. So, you're going to go--for the era noise, the idea is to have really high pitch but as you're saying the word changing the pitch, so it's going to sound like this. And for the wicka sound you're just going to try to say as high as you can. Sounds really goofy right now, but you get thrown into the mix it'll sound great. You can also slow them down, and once you throw it into a beat box everything comes together like you're a one-man ensemble."
