How to cry like a baby?

Published in Mimicking Sounds 2 mins read

To cry like a baby, you can use the back of your tongue to create a squeaky noise, rather than your lips, while saying "what".

Breakdown of the Baby Cry Technique

Here's a step-by-step guide based on the video reference:

  • The Squeaky Noise: Babies often make a distinct squeaky sound when they cry. This sound is crucial to mimicking a baby's cry.
  • Tongue Position: The key to achieving this squeaky sound is by using the back of your tongue, not your lips. This position is the critical part of creating the specific sound.
  • Vocalization: While making the squeaky noise with the back of your tongue, attempt to say the word "what". This combination of tongue position and vocalization is intended to replicate a baby's cry.

How to Practice

You can try this method:

  1. Position your tongue back in your mouth
  2. Attempt a squeaky noise.
  3. Add the "what" vocalization.

Additional Considerations

  • Practice: It might take some time and practice to get the sound just right.
  • Vocal Range: Babies have a unique vocal range, so it might help to mimic a high-pitched tone when attempting the cry.
  • Context: Remember that a baby’s cry varies depending on the context, whether they are hungry, tired, or in pain, this method focuses solely on the basic cry sound.
