"The final sound that I'm going to teach you guys how to do is how to do robot sounds. And out of all of them, this might be the goofiest, but it's the coolest because when you're beat boxing and you do sounds that don't sound human, that's when you start setting yourself apart from other beat boxers. The robot noises are made of two parts. One is you're going to be making a noise with your mouth and the other is you're going to be making a noise with your humming. So, try this with me. Try to make this sound. It is kind of goofy, but when you practice it by yourself, doesn't matter. So, if you couple that noise with a high pitch hum, it'll sound like this. Very machine like. Similarly, if you'd make a noise with the side of your mouth, and you couple that with a hum, it'll sound like this. So the third noise that you can do for a robot noise starts with your lips like this. And if you have your humming pitch from down to up it'll sound like this. You combine all of those three sounds with the rest of your beat box, you're going to have a pretty interesting beat box. And that's all for robot noises."
