Pay special attention to the speeches of recognized beatboxing masters who not only perform in public, but also give useful tips to beginners.

Even if you are not involved in beatboxing at some time, try to carry an MP3 player with your favorite bits. The more you listen to the beatbox, the better. If you don’t have any bits on the player, you can try to interpret your favorite songs under the beatbox yourself.
