One of our favorite sound-effects men, A Prairie Home Companion® regular Fred Newman, is a Leonardo of audio.

Put more zip in your lip with the latest edition of his popular book. You'll learn more than 150 surprisingly useful, sometimes melodious, often whimsical, and occasionally rude noises you can make with your mouth-the taxi whistle, cell-phone ring, stomach growl, honk, boing, bird, banjo, rock guitar, and more.

Comes with step-by-step instructions and an enhanced CD with video clips. Hardcover, photos and illustrations, 160 pp.
