"Woo" octave slides
A slide from the bottom of an octave to the top and back on "woo" passes through the register change without stopping, so the break smooths out.
How to do it
- Round lips, "woo" like an owl.
- Slide up the octave without steps, lightly at the top.
- Slide down and let the voice get fuller on the way.
Remember No gears: one smooth slide.
