To make a water drop sound with your mouth, start by drinking water or licking your lips to wet them. Then, whistle to get the right mouth shape. If you can’t whistle, purse your lips together while leaving a slight gap for air to pass through. Once you’ve made the right shape with your lips, mouth the word “Hoink.” While you mouth the word, tap or flick your cheek to make the sound louder. You should also hold your breath or breathe through your nose, since you won’t be able to make the sound while breathing through your mouth. If you don’t get it at first, keep practicing, since it can take some people a while to get the trick down. For more tips, including how to stop yourself from exhaling through your mouth, read on!
