Since some folks (understandably!) don’t watch reaction intros, I wanted to clarify something; My specialty as a performer and as a reactor is a cappella music. While I’m sure there are a lot of great solo beatboxers out there, the structure of multi-voice performance is much easier for me to process and analyze, which is why I chose to check out Berywam. As time goes on, and I get a better understanding of beatbox as an art form, maybe I’ll be able to understand and analyze some solo work down the line. But in the short term, I plan to just tackle multi-voice performances, since it’s closer to the art form I am most familiar with :) Thanks for understanding!
Just some suggestion for more recent stuff; Jairo equilibrium-tincture Ya Na Ha - Free your life First two is a duo aka tag team and the third one is a crew. Also regarding resources well there is mostly youtube tutorials for the sounds, Im pretty sure most learn from UA-cam and asking beatboxers in a community nearby at the very least this is from my personal experience (well it is kinda tough sometimes because of how vague the explaination is and sometimes with certain sounds I literally used my hand to make my tongue do the position needed during my early stages of learning LOL) Another thing that I think is worth mentioning, I heard that there is actually some sort of research done by vocal doctors/specialist although they still dont have any solid stuff going on so far.
I’d be so happy to guide you through some of the more beatbox kinds of stuff they’re doing some time… I’m obsessed with the anatomy of how all of these sounds are made and once you can start to recognize where certain sounds must be coming from, it becomes a lot easier to comprehend what’s going on. I have a few videos on my channel showing an opera singer/vocal coach some of the best stuff out there and there’s like a hundred more videos we made together on his channel… I mentioned this so you know I’m not just a random UA-cam comment (:
At 16:00 he’s holding the mic there to emphasize a sound called a lip roll. It’s done by sucking air in through the side of your mouth and making your lip vibrate. It’s one of the most effective ways to make different bass sounds.
Make a trumping/farting sound blowing out the side of your mouth with just your lips. Now do it by sucking air inwards rather than blowing air outwards. Gradually open your lips while doing the inward thing and at some point you'll hear a bassy sound. Voilla - Liproll.
To any beatbox fans, I want to mention that this is probably one of the best channels for detailed acapella analysis/appreciation of arrangement and structure. Since a lot of beatboxers are trying to transition into releasing their musical performances outside of competitions, I think this is helpful feedback for the community right now, since a lot of acapella groups have already set up their careers off of doing just that with pure vocal music. Especially since there are so many great beatboxing tag teams and crews now and we can't always rely on them getting selected for battles to showcase their music. So if you want to see the community get more feedback from this perspective and more beatbox groups be appreciated for their music, I encourage everyone to share these videos around the community, and also comment any great crews and tag teams that would be good for this channel to analyze next.
15:50 that technique is called a liproll. There's many variations of this technique the one beatness is doing at that particular moment is called a sub-bass liproll. It works by inhaling air through one side of your lips. Think of a lip buzz but done inwards. The sub-bass liproll is quieter than a regular one but it allows you to reach lower notes. That's why he needs to put the mic closer to the source for it to be properly picked up.
Also, you should collaborate with Fairy Voice Mother. She is a vocalist with arrangement experience who has ALSO recently gotten into beatbox, and you BOTH have AMAZINGLY ENTHUSIASTIC reactions.
Berywam is like a band Beatness on the Left is the bass player Wawad (next to beatness) is the counter melody while Beasty and MB14 (Beasty is next to Wawad, and MB14 is the Black shirt guy) is the main Melody and Rythmind (on the right) is the drums
Ladies and gentlemen: we’ve managed to make another person addicted to beatbox😂 Seriously love your a Capella background. You can understand so much yet can still learn a lot about beatbox. So keep it up❤️
You should reqct to “den”s cover of spiderhorse, its a compilation of him separating out his sounds and editing them together to make a musical accapella beatbox piece, and it’s beautiful
The sound at 8:45 that you describe as a breathy growl sound is called a lip roll. It's just breathing in with a certain lip position so that your lips oscillate at super low but loud frequencies. I'll toss anything else you mention that I pick up on below this.
One thing that's helpful for remembering the members is the name of the group. It's a combination of all the original members BEatness RYthmind WAwad Mb14. I always forget the new guy's name though. In order from left to right in the video it's Beatness, Wawad, New Guy, MB14, Rythmind.
16:00 the logic there is that's where he's doing his lip rolls. He holds the mic right on top of it so he can capture the full spectrum of bass frequencies clearly. If he held it anywhere else the bass would be much weaker in the mix
And if you want to learn more, a good start is just asking beatboxers in your discord. I'm Defiant in there and I can probably show you the basics of a lot of techniques like lip rolls and some of the many vocal basses
I came here for the reaction. I'm a "vocalist/singer" and I've been blown away by bbx since I saw how crazy it is. I now beatbox and personally, I think this art form of "beatbox" IS the future of vocalists, and so I LOVE seeing the reaction that other singers get when they're introduced to this world of truly BECOMING an instrument. That said, I would love breakdowns. The beatbox world is insanely talented and gifted, but there's extremely little objective and non-subjective information explaining what we're doing. One thing we NEED (albeit are resistant towards) is breakdowns and explanations of wtf we're even doing. We largely don't know wtf we do or how it works, and it would do the bbx community a lot of good to have the knowledge of singers and musicians implemented into our aptitude for "just figuring it out". More knowledge of musicality and the structure of the voice can only help more beatboxers do even more insane things that much faster.
I loved both the reaction and the analysis. Growing up I always thought beatboxing was so cool and I started doing it myself but I hardly knew anything about the musical theory behind it. So to see someone so knowledgeable on the technical level explain it is so fascinating. Definitely watching more of your analysis videos!
Ima be honest I think you would have a lot of fun watching MB14 la cup showcase. He’s the guy in the black shirt preforming on a loop station, where you can repeat your voice
I like the acapella perspective you bring to this beatbox video. I advise you to watch one of their showcases so that you can see them perfom live: here are 3 of them: berywam at german beatbox championship, berywam at the z event or berywam at the asia beatbox championship. Their name is a combination of their names (BEatness & BEasty, RYthmind and WAwad and M for MB14 a former member of the group you just saw performed in this video)
I really enjoy watching reactors who are being genuine with how impressed they are about what they are reacting to. When you can genuinely see and hear that they really like the video and aren't just praising it to pretend they like it or just talking to have something to say. And added to the fact that they're very well versed in the arts of whatever kind of talent they're observing so they actually know what to find that's impressive and know what to appreciate. I'll admit I only ever really enjoy beatboxing but I do genuinely like your reactions and look forward to more.
if youre getting into some beatbox crew stuff, i would highly recommend doing "ya na ha - free your life" its absolutely amazing there are also tag teams, rogue wave and middle school are 2 good teams for that, hiss and alexinho (2 of the people from the 'if only' video you reacted to) made their ow song together called who cares, its very very good
I like discovering things along with others discovering them for the first time. I've noticed that beatboxers all use their hands a *lot* and it helps me follow the complexity of what they're doing here if I watch their hands during the performance. I love that's its as visual as it is auditory.
@@whyvern6817 That makes sense, considering how naturally most of us gesture when we talk, and then you add the urge to dance to music into the mix... looked at it that way, it would be surprising if beatboxers didn't gesture.
7:49 Funny you mention this, because the two go by their stagenames of "Beatness" (grey shirt) and "Rythmind" (white shirt) and they live up to their names as two of the most precise and consistent beatboxers in the world!
Since you like group performances, "Ya Na Ha - Free Your Life" is a no-brainer The winners for the GBB23 group wildcards haven't been announced yet, but I'm certain they will place under top 3
I'm not sure if a duo qualifies as a group for you, but Colaps and River from the 'If Only' video won the biggest beatbox championship of 2022. Look up Roguewave GBB2022 if you feel like checking them out more, or for loop try MB14 La Cup Showcase. Welcome to the beatbox scene, it's a wild ride. Loving your genuine reactions! And btw @15:52 he is holding the mic to the corner of his mouth because he is performing a technique called a 'Lip Roll' to produce the sub-bass sounds and he's moving the mic closer to the source :)
Honestly I am so excited for you to deep dive into this world because it is also something I don't much about. And if I had the time to deep dive I would but I am so busy currently, I sadly can't. So I am really excited about this new chapter in your channel, I think that it will be amazing! Thanks for the great reaction as always💜
Mr mortius, I love your beatbox videos as a beatboxer myself, I think u need both reaction anf analyzing, pure reaction is boring. Infomation and figuring things out is always fun, thats what set the difference between you and normal reactors who just comment. So rocking my friend!
he puts his mic on the side of his lip because thats where the base is coming from. its a sub vibration liproll. btw check out lesage singing because he knows a lot of details he is an opera singer and vocal coach that also beatboxes. he is some really interesting insides. also he made videos with actuall vocal scientists speciallised on the subject of beatboxing (yeah the legit are doctors of beatboxing and the human vocal anatomy) and he made videos with beatboxers explaining in detail how stuff is possible and how it all works, also body wise. highly recommend it to you
M.O.M GBB 21 Showcase, it's only a 3 people crew but they're still great and current world champions, this video is their live performance witch is what they won the competition with
I loved both reaction and analsis! I always enjoy when singers react to beatbox because they are always picking up on things that I don't usually pay much attention to! I also love acapella groups so you gained +1 fan 😁 Now I just need some time to watch all other reactions that you did 😅 I'm not much of a discord person so If I may, I'll post my recommendation here. It's a beatbox crew from Russia called "Ya Na Ha" and they made wildcard (video entry) for GBB23 (Grand Beatbox Battle) which blew my mind! Have a nice day/night 😄
this is why his mic is in the side of his lips .. he's actually doing a technic called a "LIPROLL" .. a lot of times they do it in the side portion of their lips .. so he moved the mic closer to the source of the sound to get a thicker and heavier bass line
16:47 so here why that guy move mic to left of his mouth in this part he was doing a bass line and that bass call in beatbox Liproll sub bass and you only can do Liproll sub bass side of your mouth that why he move mic to the side from where he doing the bass And please react to king interia vs helium gbb its a best battle thanks you sir
I dont know if it’d be good for an analysis but i think you’d love mb14’s performance: la cup worldwide showcase 2018. It’s a great video to showcase what beatboxers can do with the loop station plus i love the musicality and performance.
@@ducky4420 I go back to it time and time again as well. I love a lot of the looping that's happening and the interesting ways it's shaping up to be something very different and evolving. BUT, I must say I really appreciate MB14 and the "purity" (for the lack of a better word) of it. Minimal effects, just solo acapella
I love how you compared the differences in what singers are trained to do versus beat boxers - it’s almost like they purposely turn it on its head, but I don’t think I would have caught that before you explained it - thank you!
First of all... Welcome to the circus! 😆 I'm excited to watch you go down this rabbit hole, sir. I'm no expert by any means, but I can certainly answer a couple things, and point you in the direction of more! [INFODUMP INCOMING] You were absolutely correct when you clocked that they're constantly adjusting mic positions - a lot of sounds (particularly low basses and some record-scratch fx) benefit greatly from the proximity effect. In that particular case you noticed, it was an inhaled liproll, which is (a.) almost always done with the side of the lips rather than the center, and (b.) inhaled, so that most of the high-frequency air noise gets sucked into the lungs, leaving a purer but quieter bass sound. Some other sounds such as throat bass or vibration bass tend to come through the front or side of the throat as much as the mouth, and others like snore or uvular basses may even need the mic in front of the nose to pick them up well! Beatboxing uses all parts of the vocal tract, so dead-center in front of the mouth isn't always the best microphone position. As far as learning more about some of these wild vocal techniques, I know a fair number of high-level beatboxers have some tutorials (or tutorial series) on their channels that break down the mechanisms of sound production for various sounds - Remix, D-Low, TylaDubya and ALEM come to mind immediately. It might also be educational to check out some beatbox reaction videos to see someone who really knows what they're talking about break down some performances - again, I know several of the big-name title holders and competition judges do these pretty regularly, and we're currently toward the end of submissions for entry into the Grand Beatbox Battle. There are literal hundreds of vocal techniques within beatboxing, and new ones are still being invented, so that's admittedly a big topic, but also endlessly fascinating! If/when you do get to analyzing solo beatbox performances (although there's a LOT of good duo/group content out recently), since you tend to focus on structure and composition, it may be interesting to examine the ways in which the restrictions of a single human voice influence song structures and the creative ways in which people work around them with layered techniques, strategic gaps that your brain fills in, inhaled sounds, etc. Den, D-Low, WING, Gene Shinozaki and Show-Go are all very good examples of this, but musical structure and cohesion of flow is becoming a steadily more-critical component of solo beatboxing pieces. Multi-person groups can be a challenge to break down and analyze, because the various song parts are rarely divided up strictly by person - they're often densely interwoven and traded back and forth between people, so unless you already know what the various group members sound like in isolation it can be tricky to pick out who's doing what at any given moment. The "If Only" video was a good example - all four of them were carrying the bassline at different points. AAAAAnyway, there's my $0.02. Looking forward to more of this excellent shenaniganry! 👋
The simplest way to explain beatboxing is "Using different parts of your (mostly) respiratory organs like your vocal cords" Just passing air through your lips in a certain way will make sound, and now your vocal cord is free to do it's own sound on top of the lips sound etc. Like whistling while humming. Basically combining many different ways human produce noises.
Guy on left doing bass was doing outward chest bass then switched to Sub bass Lip roll. Which is actually an inward sound. You can see his cheek depress inward indicating air being pulled in. Lip rolls are common bass techniques in BBX. It is done on the side of the mouth, hence why hes moving the mic when switching bass techniques
I don't really beatbox either but love the whole scene so much. Here's a bit of vocabulary you can research. Basses: Lip rolls, throat bass, chest bass, vibration bass, inward bass, lip oscillation bass Other: Polyphonic voice, mouth trumpet, siren, click rolls
I think you'd really like a beatbox/a capella group called New Schooler, they're from Japan (I think) and they are amazing, slightly easier to understand I guess for you! 🙏
There are a couple of beatboxing documentaries. There are several Ted Talks with a beatboxer/looper called Tom Thum. There is also a documentary by a prolific beatboxer called Reeps One, the series is named "We Speak Music" but he also has a couple of Ted Talks, those should give you a bit more insight into the ins and outs of modern beatboxing including the physical mechanisms.
If a beatboxer is holding their mic to one side of their mouth, it's because they're doing a liproll, which is a technique where you inhale and make your lips vibrate. It produces a very low bass sound using the mouth for extra resonance room. You can pitch it by hollowing out your throat more or less depending how deep you want it.
A good liproll tutorial is here for those wondering what's happening with the mic on the side : ua-cam.com/video/hBVIHueK_ys/v-deo.html For beautifully constructed multi artist beatbox there are ROGUEWAVE, MIDDLE SCHOOL, SARUKANI, UNITEAM....
Den Spiderhorse is insane! you will love it! mic to the side for the lip roll so it sounds louder. Generally the sounds is made at the corner of the mouth. Many Many beatboxers have tutorials on UA-cam for specific sounds. Subbed for more beatbox😆
17:00 If you want to learn technique and terminology in regards to beatbox, I would reach out to D-Low to see if you could do a collab where you discuss the most common beatbox techniques. Maybe even talking about some of D-Low's routines as well.
For me, this reaction and your If Only one were great and eye-opening because I would never have encountered this art aside from the beat boxers in a cappella, which I basically dismissed as unknown territory (huh?) and could not appreciate as they deserve. Now you will have insight into what those beat boxers are doing as well as the pure vocals, which will be super! I think you'll find your own area of interest that melds with the art form. Some information on the how is fascinating, but like instruction videos getting very detailed has a limited audience. The composition and quality of the sound production interest me personally. This is all really fascinating. Just some thoughts. Great work!
The bass sound is probably a liproll, which is made by vibrating the lower/upper lip (left or right) so for the sound to hit good and proper, the mike has to be the side. I think
@13:25 the distorted synth like sound on an arabic scale isn't done by the guy in the flowered shirt but mb14 the one in the dark shirt 2nd from the right. His solo stuff and specially his loopstation performancies are really great views / listens as well. I understand that you come from an acapella background but I'd say give loopstations at least a try as tehy are basically multi voice perfomances done by one person alone. And I could imagine for someone from an adjacent style of music it could be intresting watching someone live layering voices on top on another arranging them.
Ok so on the far left his name is Beatness then we have Wawad (with the cap) Beasty then MB14 (Black Shirt guy) & the last guy Rythmind this will be helpful in the future cuz i already know u are gonna chk more Berywam sets cuz they are the best crew beatboxers in the scene there is so much more to explore for you bro keep watching more beatbox videos !!!
I would love to see you watch Tincture by Equilibrium. They are a duo that prioritises vocals and does amazingly simple but complex stuff. That might be something for you :)
Hi Mortius , i like your reaction , i think i looked like you , when i saw this the first time :)) Maybe you look to "Berywam FR Asia Beatbox Championship Judge Showcase" i think you will enjoy it .
If you want to get into solo beatbox with high level of musicality, you should listen to Gene Shinozaki (for example his GBB wildcard 2021) or Den (it literally doesn't matter which track). Regarding loopstation, I would recommand checking out MB14 first, he usually does it without many effects so it'll be more understandable for you.
Since some folks (understandably!) don’t watch reaction intros, I wanted to clarify something;
My specialty as a performer and as a reactor is a cappella music. While I’m sure there are a lot of great solo beatboxers out there, the structure of multi-voice performance is much easier for me to process and analyze, which is why I chose to check out Berywam.
As time goes on, and I get a better understanding of beatbox as an art form, maybe I’ll be able to understand and analyze some solo work down the line. But in the short term, I plan to just tackle multi-voice performances, since it’s closer to the art form I am most familiar with :) Thanks for understanding!
Thanks for your clarification :D Really excited for your future reactions♥️♥️🔥

Nah they need at least the guy from beatbox like madox or chezame.. at least someone that can explain who make the sound and how it's produced
She collaber with Stitch and a guy from Beatbox International recently. Was sick.
Stitch accidentally talks or laughs in poly-voice often apparently.
Uhh that would be dope

while Beasty and MB14 (Beasty is next to Wawad, and MB14 is the Black shirt guy) is the main Melody

MB14 (the guy in black shirt) can do a multi-voice acapella-group by himself. Try his La Cup Showcase 2018
Indeed mind blowing performance. Incredible voice, instrument-like sounds, crazy harmonies and so on !

he puts his mic on the side of his lip because thats where the base is coming from. its a sub vibration liproll. btw check out lesage singing because he knows a lot of details he is an opera singer and vocal coach that also beatboxes. he is some really interesting insides. also he made videos with actuall vocal scientists speciallised on the subject of beatboxing (yeah the legit are doctors of beatboxing and the human vocal anatomy) and he made videos with beatboxers explaining in detail how stuff is possible and how it all works, also body wise. highly recommend it to you
15:45 The left guy is doing what is called an inward lip roll which produces a bass sound at one side of the lip
I think you'll really enjoy YA NA HA ... they also have one of the best crew performances .. it's really rich with intricate vocal techniques
It's not as clean as it should and they're going to make a studio version, but they're really worth noting
M.O.M GBB 21 Showcase, it's only a 3 people crew but they're still great and current world champions, this video is their live performance witch is what they won the competition with
I loved both reaction and analsis! I always enjoy when singers react to beatbox because they are always picking up on things that I don't usually pay much attention to! I also love acapella groups so you gained +1 fan 😁 Now I just need some time to watch all other reactions that you did 😅 I'm not much of a discord person so If I may, I'll post my recommendation here. It's a beatbox crew from Russia called "Ya Na Ha" and they made wildcard (video entry) for GBB23 (Grand Beatbox Battle) which blew my mind! Have a nice day/night 😄
this is why his mic is in the side of his lips .. he's actually doing a technic called a "LIPROLL" .. a lot of times they do it in the side portion of their lips .. so he moved the mic closer to the source of the sound to get a thicker and heavier bass line
Thanks for your reaction. "Oriental mix" , " chinese trap", "feeling good", "eminem medley" are fantastic, you won't regret it

Uppp
16:47 so here why that guy move mic to left of his mouth in this part he was doing a bass line and that bass call in beatbox Liproll sub bass and you only can do Liproll sub bass side of your mouth that why he move mic to the side from where he doing the bass
And please react to king interia vs helium gbb its a best battle thanks you sir
9:46 the inhale youre talking about it probably from one of the beatboxers. a sharp inhale is sometimes used as a "closing hihat" sound
I dont know if it’d be good for an analysis but i think you’d love mb14’s performance: la cup worldwide showcase 2018. It’s a great video to showcase what beatboxers can do with the loop station plus i love the musicality and performance.
100% agree with this recommendation.
@@Haddcore Ikr still to this day love the whole thing
@@ducky4420 I go back to it time and time again as well. I love a lot of the looping that's happening and the interesting ways it's shaping up to be something very different and evolving. BUT, I must say I really appreciate MB14 and the "purity" (for the lack of a better word) of it. Minimal effects, just solo acapella
Man,you gotta react to "Jairo-Fuego".
One of the great musical beatbox track I've heard so far. 🙇🏻
You should definitely check out YA NA HA's gbb crew category wildcard
Its so great to have another musical professional join in on the beatbox community, welcome bro!!
ESH
I love how every time someone makes a beatbox reaction for the first time they get so much love from the beatbox family
I love that too!!
love your reaction 😂 keep going ❤
Bro your reaction is so genuine. We are glad you found beatboxing fascinating.
I love how you compared the differences in what singers are trained to do versus beat boxers - it’s almost like they purposely turn it on its head, but I don’t think I would have caught that before you explained it - thank you!
First of all... Welcome to the circus! 😆 I'm excited to watch you go down this rabbit hole, sir. I'm no expert by any means, but I can certainly answer a couple things, and point you in the direction of more!
[INFODUMP INCOMING]
You were absolutely correct when you clocked that they're constantly adjusting mic positions - a lot of sounds (particularly low basses and some record-scratch fx) benefit greatly from the proximity effect. In that particular case you noticed, it was an inhaled liproll, which is (a.) almost always done with the side of the lips rather than the center, and (b.) inhaled, so that most of the high-frequency air noise gets sucked into the lungs, leaving a purer but quieter bass sound. Some other sounds such as throat bass or vibration bass tend to come through the front or side of the throat as much as the mouth, and others like snore or uvular basses may even need the mic in front of the nose to pick them up well! Beatboxing uses all parts of the vocal tract, so dead-center in front of the mouth isn't always the best microphone position.
As far as learning more about some of these wild vocal techniques, I know a fair number of high-level beatboxers have some tutorials (or tutorial series) on their channels that break down the mechanisms of sound production for various sounds - Remix, D-Low, TylaDubya and ALEM come to mind immediately. It might also be educational to check out some beatbox reaction videos to see someone who really knows what they're talking about break down some performances - again, I know several of the big-name title holders and competition judges do these pretty regularly, and we're currently toward the end of submissions for entry into the Grand Beatbox Battle. There are literal hundreds of vocal techniques within beatboxing, and new ones are still being invented, so that's admittedly a big topic, but also endlessly fascinating!
If/when you do get to analyzing solo beatbox performances (although there's a LOT of good duo/group content out recently), since you tend to focus on structure and composition, it may be interesting to examine the ways in which the restrictions of a single human voice influence song structures and the creative ways in which people work around them with layered techniques, strategic gaps that your brain fills in, inhaled sounds, etc. Den, D-Low, WING, Gene Shinozaki and Show-Go are all very good examples of this, but musical structure and cohesion of flow is becoming a steadily more-critical component of solo beatboxing pieces.
Multi-person groups can be a challenge to break down and analyze, because the various song parts are rarely divided up strictly by person - they're often densely interwoven and traded back and forth between people, so unless you already know what the various group members sound like in isolation it can be tricky to pick out who's doing what at any given moment. The "If Only" video was a good example - all four of them were carrying the bassline at different points.
AAAAAnyway, there's my $0.02. Looking forward to more of this excellent shenaniganry! 👋
The simplest way to explain beatboxing is "Using different parts of your (mostly) respiratory organs like your vocal cords"
Just passing air through your lips in a certain way will make sound, and now your vocal cord is free to do it's own sound on top of the lips sound etc. Like whistling while humming.
Basically combining many different ways human produce noises.
Guy on left doing bass was doing outward chest bass then switched to Sub bass Lip roll. Which is actually an inward sound. You can see his cheek depress inward indicating air being pulled in. Lip rolls are common bass techniques in BBX. It is done on the side of the mouth, hence why hes moving the mic when switching bass techniques
D Low (previous world champ) has a vid on youtube where he does 30 different basses.... yes. thirty....
I don't really beatbox either but love the whole scene so much. Here's a bit of vocabulary you can research.
Basses:
Lip rolls, throat bass, chest bass, vibration bass, inward bass, lip oscillation bass
Other:
Polyphonic voice, mouth trumpet, siren, click rolls
I think you'd really like a beatbox/a capella group called New Schooler, they're from Japan (I think) and they are amazing, slightly easier to understand I guess for you! 🙏
berywam is a group of 4 people wawad, beatness, rythmind and beasty.
He switches the mic placement to get the sub bass from the inhaled lip oscillation.
the part when you were hearing at 9:28 was about the person in the black shirt and his name is mb14.
Waltz no.2 (One Man Orchestra) From WING would be a great reaction. As the title says it is a One man Orchesta with only sounds from his mouth.
MB14 la cup showcase 2018 big big requrst u really need to check it out!!
Luckily for you, there are a good number of beatbox groups, welcome to the beatbox family
There are a couple of beatboxing documentaries. There are several Ted Talks with a beatboxer/looper called Tom Thum. There is also a documentary by a prolific beatboxer called Reeps One, the series is named "We Speak Music" but he also has a couple of Ted Talks, those should give you a bit more insight into the ins and outs of modern beatboxing including the physical mechanisms.
If a beatboxer is holding their mic to one side of their mouth, it's because they're doing a liproll, which is a technique where you inhale and make your lips vibrate. It produces a very low bass sound using the mouth for extra resonance room. You can pitch it by hollowing out your throat more or less depending how deep you want it.
Omg you react to French group 😮😮😮
They are so amazing I hope you react to more of them
The Airhead Group is amazing 💥💥
I love your enthusiasm mate, some Beatbox Crews that I can also recommend is Ya Na Ha, Sarukani, and Squid! But yeah Berywam is just world class.
btw solo with structural composition - Showgo: otonashi
You need to watch BERYWAM on AGT All Stars. They are amazing
A good liproll tutorial is here for those wondering what's happening with the mic on the side :
ua-cam.com/video/hBVIHueK_ys/v-deo.html
For beautifully constructed multi artist beatbox there are ROGUEWAVE, MIDDLE SCHOOL, SARUKANI, UNITEAM....
BERYWAM!!🔥🔥🔥
Plss react to equilibrium gbb tag team wildcard
loved the reaction highly recommend Chinese trap by berywam just a beautiful piece
Den Spiderhorse is insane! you will love it!
mic to the side for the lip roll so it sounds louder. Generally the sounds is made at the corner of the mouth. Many Many beatboxers have tutorials on UA-cam for specific sounds. Subbed for more beatbox😆
17:00 If you want to learn technique and terminology in regards to beatbox, I would reach out to D-Low to see if you could do a collab where you discuss the most common beatbox techniques. Maybe even talking about some of D-Low's routines as well.
For me, this reaction and your If Only one were great and eye-opening because I would never have encountered this art aside from the beat boxers in a cappella, which I basically dismissed as unknown territory (huh?) and could not appreciate as they deserve. Now you will have insight into what those beat boxers are doing as well as the pure vocals, which will be super! I think you'll find your own area of interest that melds with the art form. Some information on the how is fascinating, but like instruction videos getting very detailed has a limited audience. The composition and quality of the sound production interest me personally. This is all really fascinating. Just some thoughts. Great work!
The bass sound is probably a liproll, which is made by vibrating the lower/upper lip (left or right) so for the sound to hit good and proper, the mike has to be the side. I think
It's because when you lip roll, you do it from the side of your mouth usually. Some can do it from the front as well.
The names in the vid from left to right haha: Beatness, Wawad, Beasty, MB14 and Rythmind
Sideway Mic Holding= Lip Roll 🔥
I’ve got a suggestion of someone to check out. Vinny Marchi a counter tenor with an amazing voice
@13:25 the distorted synth like sound on an arabic scale isn't done by the guy in the flowered shirt but mb14 the one in the dark shirt 2nd from the right. His solo stuff and specially his loopstation performancies are really great views / listens as well. I understand that you come from an acapella background but I'd say give loopstations at least a try as tehy are basically multi voice perfomances done by one person alone. And I could imagine for someone from an adjacent style of music it could be intresting watching someone live layering voices on top on another arranging them.
And there you figured it out I should watch till the end :D
Mb14 La Cup Such A Classic 🔥
Also Berywam Asian Championship Showcase Its Lit 🥵
If you want to hear some musical beatbox song, you can watch :
WING - GBB23: World League Solo Wildcard
Ok so on the far left his name is Beatness then we have Wawad (with the cap) Beasty then MB14 (Black Shirt guy) & the last guy Rythmind this will be helpful in the future cuz i already know u are gonna chk more Berywam sets cuz they are the best crew beatboxers in the scene there is so much more to explore for you bro keep watching more beatbox videos !!!
I would love to see you watch Tincture by Equilibrium. They are a duo that prioritises vocals and does amazingly simple but complex stuff. That might be something for you :)
Berywam chinese trap is a great piece
I like the analysis and the reaction 👍
i love your reactions
*Achievement Unlocked:* Beatbox Community
LISTEN TO MB14 la cup showcase for something different its the black shirt guy
Welcome to the world of beatbox ❤

Beatness, Wawad, Beastie, MB14, and Rythmind.
Do you know « Pow WoW » a french accapela Group in 80’ ?
Hi Mortius , i like your reaction , i think i looked like you , when i saw this the first time :)) Maybe you look to "Berywam FR Asia Beatbox Championship Judge Showcase" i think you will enjoy it .
You should react to berywam vs beatbox house, or watch codfish's 2018 comp, and dlow's 2019 comp, you're gonna love it
If you want to get into solo beatbox with high level of musicality, you should listen to Gene Shinozaki (for example his GBB wildcard 2021) or Den (it literally doesn't matter which track).
Regarding loopstation, I would recommand checking out MB14 first, he usually does it without many effects so it'll be more understandable for you.
If you want more groups check out more Berywam but also M.O.M and Sarukani. They performed at gbb 21 and I think you’d have a lot of fun with them
react to mb14 lacup loop station beatbox
Mb14 show case 2018 it very amazing
