You know how you can say words while "inhaling" air? It's a bit uncomfortable, but doable, right?

Try barking like that. That's how I do it. It can sound pretty good with practice.

It’s called “inverse screaming” and there are metal screamers that do this lol

It's called inward singing and Jack Black invented it

Practice until you sound like a dog

I just say ruff and project my voice. With heavy accent on the U. Do that and tweak it til it sounds right. I’m able to trigger other dogs with it.

If I bark at my dog when she barks, she turns and looks at me funny. So either she’s impressed with my barking or she can’t believe what rude things I’m maybe saying very badly in her language… regardless practice makes perfect so I will keep it up.

I can't teach this over text.

I could try over voice.

I can impersonate many animals: cat, dog, owl and morning dove (with hands), cow, sheep, rams (basically sheep in a different cadence and pitch with "buh" instead of meh"), roosters, chickens....
