So I just got a rocktron banshee talkbox that I’m using with my cheapo casio keyboard. I’m enjoying it quite much but I’m not sure how to maker certain sounds such as F, G, T, S, probably the other more common difficult letters. So anyone have any tips?
There a just certain letters that aren’t going to come out perfect. Mainly, because you’ve got a tube in your mouth and that interfers with making the proper shapes to create those sounds.
I built my first talk box after "Rocky Mountain Way" came out, and it took a long, long time to get to where I could make words with it.
One thing I would recommend is getting a smaller tube. The one that comes with the Banshee is actually quite large. I use a tube that is 1/4" smaller, and it makes a big difference in being able to actually talk with the thing.
The trade off is that as you decrease the diameter of the tube, the less air that can travel up it and the less volume you will get out of the effect.
Good luck.
Greetings from Austin, Tx

I am leaving for Marines boot camp and i was told before i leave i have to write a letter to a board explaining my leave of absence. The reason is they have given me a scholarship. If anyone knows what kind of letter this would be called and what kind of direction i would take it that would be a great help. Thanks to all.
It sounds like you will be losing your scholarship unless you write this letter asking them to hold on to it for you until you return for your studies. Just tell them that…I’m going into the Marines, I’ll be on active duty status with them for X number of years, and I’d really appreciate the college holding on to my scholarship until I return.

Perception vs Con-ception: When i wuz (was) of the age 14 i
learned that the meaning of the word Alphabet does not mean or implies in any way 26 letters but only two. What would be those two letters and why? The English Alphabet pronounces one letter for what it iz (is) not, even when you perceptionally see the letter for what it should be pronunced yet we do not pronounce it in any English word. Why iz that?
It is the lettter W. It even sounds like another letter. hint hint.
alpha beta. alphabet. Greek. Those are the first two letters A and B. Even in Hebrew it is aleph, bet . And W looks like a double V not U. But I think that is because it was not in our original alphabet. The ancient Greeks did not have a U.
