My style of beat boxing/vocal percussion uses a different technique of kick release, nasally dominated as opposed to the typical ‘mouthing’ techniques. This had pro’s and cons. Cons – it was initially harder to mic up as there was significantly less air being released on the kicks, and it was hard to get the levels of the vocals right if I was doing a beat at the same time. The pro’s – doing a break beat, a bass line an lyrics at the same time became a serious option without compromising integrity of lyrics
