Hi, I'm 15 years old and for 7 years of my life I have played the flute. Since then I have never been able to whistle properly, because to play a flute you have to blow across the mouth piece correctly. Could this have affected my whistling 'technique'? What can I do about it? :)
What irks me is the fact that I've learned to whistle incorrectly. I can whistle, but the the opening is not in the absolute middle of my lips, it's about quarter inch to the right from the middle. Thus, I cannot modulate the size of the opening without fucking up the whistle.
Since I learned this method as a child, it's fuckhard to unlearn it and learn it again correctly. But hell if I aint gonna try. I wanna whistle like in the song A Fistful of Dollars. That's nigh godlike whistling.
True story: I was trying to learn how to blow smoke rings and I could have sworn I heard myself whistle. Could not replicate it though. Ten minutes of this video and another ten minutes of starting at my lips while I made funny faces at myself while listening to the air flow by.... and I still can't whistle. :( What a waste of those ten embarrassing minutes. Maybe I'll try again next week.
The Way I Did It Was A Bit Different Than Yours, Lol, I Got Kind Of A Gaptooth, And When I Pucker My Lips And Blow I Can Whistle Pretty Loud Through In-Between My Teeth And When I Move My Lips They Make Different Pitches Of Whistling, Is That How You Do It? Cause Mine I Guess Is A Little Unorthodox :P
well i was not able to whistle even a sound. then i watched that video. but the same again. i was too upset that still i could not whistle even a sound. then my brother called me loser and asked me if i learnt sth. then i started to whistle. very low. then again. lil bit more stong. then i heard the sound is coming. and finally i managed to sound the whistle clearly. im so happy now. thanks a lot.
excuse me id like a little help if you dont mind answering im a newcomer to whistling and i can only mostly get one type of pitch and when i try to get any other type of pitch mostly i try and only air comes out i do everything you said but im not getting any other kind of pitch. also thank you so much for uploading this if it wasnt for this video i wouldnt have ever gotten any type of whistle at all i am very grateful
For Christ's sake, whistling is fucking difficult. Maybe it's the shape of my lips? I don't know, it really wasn't one of my childhood priorities to learn how to whistle.
Please go check out my channel, I have just started a whistling channel, I have a few tutorials on how to whistle. Also a few known melodies, and I take on suggestions for videos.
Thank you so much now i can whistle because i couldnt whistle then i watched this video now i can make some noise come out of my mouth when i try to whistle thank you:)))))))))))))))))))
@Jibbletoad Sorry to hear that. My ex-wife had Bell's Palsy for several months. No fun.
I think you'll have difficulty trying to whistle when part of your face is paralyzed. You can try, but don't be disappointed--it does require control of the muscles in your mouth, cheeks, and lips, so you may not be able to make a solid enough pucker. BUT if your Bell's Palsy has subsided, and you don't have any current paralysis going on, then I don't see why it should have any effect. You should be fine.
@xxjose95 Thanks! I have a few comedy videos on my channel. (I think I might actually have a playlist of my comedy stuff if you click on "playlists" on my channel.) I hope you find something in there that makes you laugh more!
LOL you made me laugh on the part of where u say that some people whistle with their mouth that look like their smiling at u, and also on the part of where u say "i hope that wasnt too embarrassing" and also when you said "people have been banging cave women over the head by bat and dragging them by their hair and all that good stuff" & "unless ur missing a lip or somthing lol
I was trying to whistle and then you started whistling at the same time but i thought it was me and I got O happy.. but then I looked at the screen and then.. I died.
@WhistlersBrother hey do you know how to sing well too, because it seems like if you know how to sing you can stay in pitch very well while whistling.
this doesn't help me at all. I want to audition for a play at my performing arts camp and I need to whistle for this one part in the song and this isn't helping!!
If you picked it, then I have to ask--would you attempt to audition playing the harp if you had never played one before? Or guitar? Piano? Whistling is like any other instrument--if you've never done it before, you're not going to sound good any time soon. It takes lots of practice.
My advice to you is to stay within your comfort zone when auditioning. A poor, foul sounding whistle isn't going to win you any points.
@CheesyCinemaStudios Ah. Well I'm sorry my video wasn't much help. It takes years for most people to even sound decent though. Same thing for singing, for that matter!
I think a lot of people make the mistake of trying to stretch their abilities to do a difficult song when auditioning (or try to do something they're not able to do) but I think most judges would rather hear a simple piece executed beautifully. Maybe you could hum or sing the whistling part? Good luck, I hope you do well!
@embalmerist No, not necessarily. Your tongue could be sort of floating there close to the bottom of your mouth, and/or maybe the front half or front portion might even be pointing at an upward angle inside your mouth. The main thing is, you want to have an open space inside your mouth and have the tongue pretty much out of the way. Make sure you're dropping your jaw a bit, teeth slightly apart. I hope this helps!
Is it fair to call this a tutorial when he doesn't actually explain anything about how to whistle? He's saying a lot of things not to do, but there's literally no advice here on how to create a whistling sound. I just wasted ten minutes.
@danxenatro It really is the shittiest tutorial on all of YouTube except for that stupid one about how to get a good looking girl without spending any money... Total fiction.
@shunshunrikkanumber7 It might not have anything to do with the wetness of your lips; it may be just that you haven't gotten a strong tone yet. That's OK -- it may take you a while to develop a strong whistle. (By the way I don't use Chapstick either. Occasionally I'll use the Carmex, it's much more useful.)
No lie, I've spent my life invisible to women. During that time I was an avid,if amateur (I can barely get through "Return of the Mack"without 7"dissonance instances"LOL) whistler. BUT,3 weeks ago I saw the most beautiful woman ever being hassled by 3 men who (while I'm no gay) I'd describe as adonises. I don't know what came over me , but, I knew she didn't appreciate the attention so I began to whistle "Old Man River" loudly. I'll just say that we've been *&^ing ever since, Whistle on. Whistle
aha! you're a funny guy, I bet you're a fun guy to have a beer with. You're like Rob Schneider with long hair! no offense intended!
So far you've given me better tips on whistling than anyone else, thanks. I've been trying to whistle for a long time and have never been able to get it right..very frustrating.
@savestheeday Haha, thanks... I don't drink much beer though. (I'm more of an herbal kind of guy.) I hope you keep at it; if you don't give up, and keep experimenting, eventually you will get it. Good luck!! Thanks for the kind words, too.
i kinda bite my tongue down with my teeth on the sides, but that cmes natural to me, i cant do it any other way. and i feel like im blowing more air out than im whisteling
The pitch is very low and my lips tremble like if i was trying to lift heavy weights. Is there any useful supplemental lip workouts? Also i keep getting lightheaded
I searched this because I want to whistle like In the song Moves like jagger.. Thanks alot.. still I can't get the whistle but I sometimes get a few whistles
No, I still cant do it! can you give more tips, also i feel tired after practising some time, i guess the problem is about the amount of air that passes!
Can you explain again how you change the tone of your whistle (high pitch to low pitch) ? Also how do you maintain the whistle i.e. one continuous sound
@zanelegendkiller If you watch my whistling tutorial #3 it's about changing your pitch... And to maintain one continuous note takes a big breath, and let it out slowly. But if you mean to keep whistling notes and more notes and so on, then that is accomplished by whistling both breathing in and out, so you can switch between the two and keep on whistling.
@zeledge118 Very common... apparently. LOL I seem to get this comment a lot. It is almost the same skill, whistling exhaling versus inhaling; very similar, but different enough that some people can do one but can't get the hang of the other way. I do encourage you to try though, because when you can to both, then you can whistle on and on with a lot fewer breaths in between. But, if you are happy just whistling "in" that's OK too. :)
I'm trying but still no whistle or anything close to it. I suppose you have, or have had students. Have you ever had a student that could never learn to whistle?
@QUABLEDISTOCFICKLEPO I haven't ever had students... I don't give lessons or anything. LOL But I have had several people on YouTube tell me they just couldn't get it at all. But some of them came back a few days later or even a week or two later and told me they got it after all. So, keep trying! And read all the comments on this page for additional tips... Maybe something in there might help you some more. Good luck! Don't give up!
@TheEliteGamer13 I laughed so hard the first time someone pointed that out... HAHAHAAA Amazing how perfect the timing is on #6, and then the two of them together is priceless. XD
@xXMCGamerXx Golly. I'm going to have to make a new whistling tutorial just for people missing a lip. I never realized there were so many of you. My apologies.
@hampson2 Nope, that's not a problem. Whatever works for you, keep doing it.
If you can learn to whistle exhaling too, and do both, then you can whistle non-stop pretty much because you won't have to stop to breathe in between if you get good at doing it. (I do this but I still stop to breathe a lot; just depends what I'm trying to whistle.)
@TheArnie13 HAHHAAAAAAAAA Holy shit that's the best combo. I I think this video had the ultimate luck with the numbers. I was saying "Maybe you can see this, even on my lips" but the timing of #6 is so perfect... It starts right at the "S" in the word "this" and turns it into something else entirely... LOL If I didn't know any better I would think they have engineers at YouTube trying to find the best placement of the numbers down to the millisecond.
@SummernlightningUSA Yes after you start watching a video, any video on YouTube, once you have either watched the whole thing or if you click ahead to skip to a future point in the video, then if you push a number button on your keyboard (zero through 9) then it will skip to a point in the video timeline. The lower the number, the more toward the beginning, and the higher the number, the more it skips toward the end of the video. If you push a button repeatedly it can be pretty funny sometimes.
@bigrobsgirl07 Well, people are different, so I can't say for sure, but I don't think it would be a problem. Unless your teeth somehow prevent you from pursing your lips, that is. I think one of the most important things at first is to keep trying and to develop some lip strength, as funny as that might sound. I was young when I started, but I seem to remember that my lips would get sore after a bit of whistling, but that's no problem for me now.
@bigrobsgirl07 It might make it a little harder, but probably not much unless your teeth are a freakish monstrosity. My teeth are not perfect, they're pretty crappy actually. In fact one of my top front teeth is broken from getting hit by a nunchaku so it's shorter than the other one. I had to make a minor adjustment in my technique after that happened but it hasn't really had any impact. I think you should still be able to develop good technique, regardless of the teeth.
@WhistlersBrother Well, I have an extra tooth which makes one of my frount teeth stick out further then the rest, in fact I even have an indent in my toung b/c of it.
hey whistlersbrother, i can actually get a sound out after this tutorial practicing for like 2 hours! thank you so much! haha but the sound is really silent. is there some kind of technique to make it louder or you just keep on practicing and itll get louder without me noticing?
@adidas4725 Congratulations!! Yes the more you do it, the stronger your sound will become. With repetition, your lip and mouth muscles will actually get stronger (I know that sounds strange but it's true) and over time your whistle will become stronger, more solid, and more pure tone. In general, more air will make it louder too, but the amount of air you can use is limited by the strength of your technique. As you do it more, you will get better, and then you'll be able to add more air too.
I still cant whistle.. :'c

I do encourage you to try though, because when you can to both, then you can whistle on and on with a lot fewer breaths in between. But, if you are happy just whistling "in" that's OK too. :)

I'm trying but still no whistle or anything close to it. I suppose you have, or have had students. Have you ever had a student that could never learn to whistle?
QUABLEDISTOCFICKLEPO 6 months ago
@QUABLEDISTOCFICKLEPO I haven't ever had students... I don't give lessons or anything. LOL But I have had several people on YouTube tell me they just couldn't get it at all. But some of them came back a few days later or even a week or two later and told me they got it after all. So, keep trying! And read all the comments on this page for additional tips... Maybe something in there might help you some more. Good luck! Don't give up!

@xXMCGamerXx Golly. I'm going to have to make a new whistling tutorial just for people missing a lip. I never realized there were so many of you. My apologies.
WhistlersBrother 6 months ago
@xXMCGamerXx OK... right.... Because a guy with no lip would really be clicking on a whistling tutorial video. You're right. How insensitive of me.

i can only whistle inwards but my whistling inwards is fairly strong, is this a problem? should i be trying to whistle outwards?
hampson2 6 months ago
@hampson2 Nope, that's not a problem. Whatever works for you, keep doing it.
If you can learn to whistle exhaling too, and do both, then you can whistle non-stop pretty much because you won't have to stop to breathe in between if you get good at doing it. (I do this but I still stop to breathe a lot; just depends what I'm trying to whistle.)

TheArnie13 6 months ago 2
@TheArnie13 HAHHAAAAAAAAA Holy shit that's the best combo. I I think this video had the ultimate luck with the numbers. I was saying "Maybe you can see this, even on my lips" but the timing of #6 is so perfect... It starts right at the "S" in the word "this" and turns it into something else entirely... LOL If I didn't know any better I would think they have engineers at YouTube trying to find the best placement of the numbers down to the millisecond.
WhistlersBrother 6 months ago
@TheArnie13
what are the number buttons? are you talking about 6 and 7 on the keyboard or something else?
SummernlightningUSA 6 months ago
@SummernlightningUSA Yes after you start watching a video, any video on YouTube, once you have either watched the whole thing or if you click ahead to skip to a future point in the video, then if you push a number button on your keyboard (zero through 9) then it will skip to a point in the video timeline. The lower the number, the more toward the beginning, and the higher the number, the more it skips toward the end of the video. If you push a button repeatedly it can be pretty funny sometimes.

Does it make it harder to whistel if I have crooked teeth?
bigrobsgirl07 7 months ago
@bigrobsgirl07 Well, people are different, so I can't say for sure, but I don't think it would be a problem. Unless your teeth somehow prevent you from pursing your lips, that is. I think one of the most important things at first is to keep trying and to develop some lip strength, as funny as that might sound. I was young when I started, but I seem to remember that my lips would get sore after a bit of whistling, but that's no problem for me now.
I'm not as good as the guy in the video though!
cliftut 6 months ago
@bigrobsgirl07 It might make it a little harder, but probably not much unless your teeth are a freakish monstrosity. My teeth are not perfect, they're pretty crappy actually. In fact one of my top front teeth is broken from getting hit by a nunchaku so it's shorter than the other one. I had to make a minor adjustment in my technique after that happened but it hasn't really had any impact. I think you should still be able to develop good technique, regardless of the teeth.
WhistlersBrother 6 months ago
@WhistlersBrother Well, I have an extra tooth which makes one of my frount teeth stick out further then the rest, in fact I even have an indent in my toung b/c of it.
bigrobsgirl07 6 months ago
@bigrobsgirl07 I don't know because I don't have your mouth, but my guess is, it should not keep you from whistling. Are you able to whistle?

spruss929 7 months ago
hey whistlersbrother, i can actually get a sound out after this tutorial practicing for like 2 hours! thank you so much! haha but the sound is really silent. is there some kind of technique to make it louder or you just keep on practicing and itll get louder without me noticing?
adidas4725 7 months ago
@adidas4725 Congratulations!! Yes the more you do it, the stronger your sound will become. With repetition, your lip and mouth muscles will actually get stronger (I know that sounds strange but it's true) and over time your whistle will become stronger, more solid, and more pure tone. In general, more air will make it louder too, but the amount of air you can use is limited by the strength of your technique. As you do it more, you will get better, and then you'll be able to add more air too.
