Okay kiddo, have you ever shouted really loudly in a big empty room and heard your voice echo back at you? Yodeling is kind of like that, but with a twist!
Yodeling is a type of singing that involves quickly switching between high-pitched and low-pitched sounds. It's often done in the mountains of places like Switzerland and Austria, where people used to use it to communicate with each other from far away.
When someone yodels, they start by singing a word or sound in a high-pitched voice, like "ooooOOOOOooooo!" Then they quickly switch to a low-pitched voice, like "aaaaAAAaaaaa!" That back-and-forth singing is what makes it sound so unique and exciting.
You might have even heard yodeling in music before! Some singers use it to add a special touch to their songs. And sometimes, people just yodel for fun because it's a really cool way to use your voice.
So the next time you're shouting in an empty room and hearing your voice echo back at you, try out a little yodeling and see how it sounds!
