Hum And Feel

Description

Before hearing the children's choir, explore your own voices: can you feel the difference between a quiet hum and a whisper?

Cost: FreeBest time: Anytime

Play guide

  1. 1Rest your own fingertips lightly on the outside of your throat and make a gentle mmm sound.
  2. 2Whisper "hello" normally, then return to mmm. Compare what your own fingers feel without pressing.
  3. 3Take turns choosing hum, whisper or ordinary speaking for the other person to try.

Success signals

A real sensory comparison links voice use with a felt vibration.

If it's tricky

Touching the throat is uncomfortable: listen to hum and whisper without touching.
