| | 1. Vibrate vocal cords, some refer to this as the gargling method 2. Flutter your tounge 3. Moter boat your lips 4. Combo of the above Vibrate vocal cords prolly is the most realistic sounding some cannot vibrate their vocal chords at all due to genetics. |

| The biggest problem i had with purring was i started out trying to do it softly and i never was getting the air flow i needed to make everything roll. my advice would be to force a lot of air till you get a loud purr and you learn the proper call control for this sound, and then start softening up till you hit that desired note.

| | Thats very good advice Scott Purr is the one call in which it may be easier to learn it loud than soft. Good Catch Also with each ind the purr can be very call dependant. Some guys can purr like a house a fire on one cut or thickness of latex and not others. |

| | I've been struggling for years with this, but am finally starting to "get it". I kind of used Scott's method, with starting loud, then work on toning it down. I'd too like to learn a little more about the amount of pressure and tongue position guys are using. |

| | The advice about starting with lots of volume and toning it down is good advice. It took me several years to tone it down to what I finally consider good purring. As far as pressure and tongue placement, I am not placing any tongue pressure other than merely holding the call at the roof of my mouth. The air pressure is held constant up into my throat by my diaphragm and the "gargling" tempo and restriction controls the air flow and speed. I do use the tip of my tongue at the end to make a higher note - a crescendo of sorts. Also, cheek movement will give the purr different sounds. Like when you have something stuck way back in your teeth and you pull your cheek muscles way back so you can reach back there and rolling that around. I hope this comes across as clear as it is in my mind. If not, let me know and I'll try again. Ed
