How to Generate More Power in Your Beatboxing (A Simple 2-Week Method)
Hey beatboxers! Danny from School of Beatbox here.
Today we’re diving into one of the most common struggles that beginner beatboxers face: how to generate more power in your beatboxing.
If you’ve ever felt like your beats sound weak or lack volume, you’re not alone. This issue often discourages new beatboxers, making them feel like beatboxing might not be for them. But here’s the good news:
You can easily overcome this with one simple technique — and it only takes 2 weeks.
Why Power Matters in Beatboxing
Generating more power in your beatboxing isn’t just about being loud. It’s about building a stronger, cleaner, and more controlled sound — whether you're beatboxing at full volume or performing quietly. Think of it like upgrading from a cheap speaker to a high-quality one. The high-end speaker can handle more volume without distortion. That’s what we’re aiming for with your vocal instrument.
The 2-Week Power Boost Beatbox Exercise
Here’s how to increase your beatboxing power in just 2 weeks:

Relax and Repeat

What to Expect After 2 Weeks
After 14 days of this focused practice, you'll start noticing:

Bonus: Why Even Experienced Beatboxers Should Try This
