What a World Champion Whistler Sounds Like | National Geographic

- Four-time national and international whistling champion Christopher Ullman believes whistling is an art form. Using his lips, tongue, and teeth, he can mimic different instruments or add embellishments to the song-so he's not just your average, everyday whistler.

"These lips are for whistling!"
"I can't have mushy lips now, can I?!"

This is the day that you learnt that there is a professional whistler
I feel like posting this on reddit in the TIL (today I learned) section

Musicyber I've always wondered cause i was a pro at whistling ! :)

I've heard that from various places around the internet
He needs to insure his lips

That's it, I found a legitimate -excuse- reason for not having kissed anyone. I'm a whistler apprentice and I don't want my lips to get mushy

I love the intensity in his look when he whistles. Almost threatening.
This cracked me up. Thank you
"We cannot have mushy lips and be a champion." I can honestly say that I never thought I'd hear that said..
Mushy sounds like the German "Muschi" which means Pussy. "We can not have pussy lips and be a champion"... xD
Stefanie Macher sooooo, no women allowed at the whistling championship? 🤔

Welcome back to "why is this on my recommendations" pt. 72
I don't actually know but I'm happy it did
I actually searched for it
I also searched for it
I searched for it....
You probably haven't kissed for 24 years....
Me at 9pm: "this night I will go to sleep early"
Me at 3am:
"I don't kiss, for example, 24 hours before a performance"
Kissing makes my lips mushy for 24 hours!?!
I think he means lips that aren't on the face.
Can't touch this.
+p39483 neither can he for 12 hours

This gentleman has great musical technique. Your pitch Is spot on, and you keep every melodic passage fresh and interesting.
I'm beginning to feel like a Whistle God, Whistle God
All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod
That's exactly how I feel 😂😂
He looks exactly what I would have expected a professional whistler to look like
HumorVortex Mosco looooooool... I choked....
HumorVortex Mosco... He is indeed...
Nice eye.

So true it hurts

He claims he doesn't kiss 24hrs before a performance, but that's a lie.
He kisses his best friend, chapstick.
I mean he's right about it making your lips mushy.
One thing that makes whistling so beautiful, is its an instrument that is being sculpted and changed every day, and not to mention, you can take it everywhere with you

RECOMMENDED. Yup, I am passionate about whistling.
Imagine kissing him within 24 hours of a championship, the look of dread would be unreal
01:08 "We cannot have mushy lips and be a champion." It will be engraved on his tombstone.
Taco Supreme This sentence is so funny if you know what 'mushy' means in German
Sven Schmitz Habs mir auch gedacht
he must be a huge "hit" with his wife/girlfriend

That's a question
Scientists are constantly working to find out this mystery..
Alexander Bailey it’s 15 million
XD wife carries him
I developed the technique of whistling by breathing in aswell as blowing out. And i can kiss and still do it. Does that make me a professional whistler?
At least he's a champion at something
*Sadly looks at inner self esteem*

Loving all the comments trying to act superior to this guy.
sixinthehood yeah they are real assholes
Well, they are not featured in a video talking about themselves, so they're probably not interesting at all. Who'd want to cover about someone having a job or going to school anyway, that's the fuckin norm. And who said that this guy doesn't have a job outside of making a high pitched noise out of his puckered lips? Must've been a jealous idiot.
You must also be a professional whistler
sixinthehood im superior
The bow tie is a great way to portray his level of style, class and culture!
Whistling is an underrated instrument. It's free, always on you, and sounds as good as woodwind instruments.
Except when it's -10° C outside, and blowing a blizzard, and you realise your bus isn't going to turn up...
_An odd, yet effective mating call_

He better watch out. There are a whole lot of whistling assholes nowadays. I think they want his spot.
They practice everywhere.
true true!

tacocheeze why only your girl classmates
Come to think of it a majority of the whistlers if not all the ones I know are men. Maybe women just don't do it in public?
Yep. Most of those whistling assholes practice politics

The fact that he didn't whistle the kill bill theme upsets me
Id pay good money for that!
My postman used to whistle like this, you'd hear him coming whistling a beautiful tune, turns out he was a great singer too so he had great pitch
I love how passionate he is about this 😊
I was left midly nonplussed
I don't think you can become a champion at anything if you're not passionate about it.
Ella Manning 😊
I knew a woman that could whistle on this level. It was pretty amazing. She could whistle on the inhale and exhale and just go non-stop with lots of little ins and outs that made for fast paced music. The topper, her last name was Birdwhistle, until she got married.
+WoodysGamertag i can whistle like that, in and out and use my tongue to vary pitch and volume or sound like a slide whistle :)
+WoodysGamertag Woody what are you doing here? Arent you suppose to be busy getting some kids to sit on your lap or something?
+WoodysGamertag yeah its crazy, makes me realize im a much better whistler than I thought, but still have alot to learn!
Woodys here from reddditttt :)
+WoodysGamertag Wow haven't read that name in a long time... Thanks for the nostalgia.
That was wholesome and impressive at the same time.
Gotta say, beautiful tone, musicality and range!

Why am I watching this... it's Christmas
I know right!
+Ezrah Scoggins Who cares. Why does it matter if it's on Christmas? Believe it or not, Christmas isn't the same for everyone, and Christmas doesn't always involve opening and exchanging gifts and being with family for the entire duration of the day. Also, this video was released today, on the Nat Geo channel, a decently popular RUclips channel, and by an organization that is a "world leader in geography, cartography and exploration". Not only that, but a lot of people got this from another popular site---Reddit. So yeah, you're obviously unintelligent for not understanding why you're here and for not realizing that it's not a bad thing you're here. Merry Christmas, dumbass.
BadMannerKorea I'm not going to spend my time on someone who is going to get butt hurt from a simple sentence
Ezrah Scoggins
You already spent time on it. AND ON CHRISTMAS DAY!!! THE HORROR! Nice job contradicting yourself, twice.
Why am I watching this... It's New Year's
This is amazing good to see him!!
I unknowingly started harmonizing with his whistle. This dude is awesome. ❤
Remember guys you can't be a champion if you have mushy lips
Ethan i was like "tf that even mean?"
Ethan I can be a world champion whisperer then
Ethan just end my misery
As a german speaking person I was laughing so hard, because Mushy (written Muschi) is the german word for pussy .... we dont want pussy lips

This is just all a #AD for Chapstick lol

Yeah that's where I paused the video and disliked.

That’s it , everyone on RUclips just go create a playlist of “why is this in my recommendation “ .
Leave it public .
YES XD Genius
The flourish and embellishments he does at 0:21 are so flipping nice.

@@underbudget2584 great job Carol
1:00 "I don't kiss 24 hours before a performance to condition my lips". Doubt that's a conscious decision and not by circumstance.
Years ago I heard someone whistling in the Goodwill. I followed him around secretly recording him, he was so good. Excellent tone and pitch. Very melodious. A joy to hear.
*in an interview*

I mean when you're a professional whistler it's very likely that chapstick will be your only friend
Chapstick is the vicechampion's only friend. The winner takes it all, the chapstick along with all the ladies, the money, the cars, the yachts...

Thanks for mentioning Chris. There are whistlers that has turned whistling into an art. A must hear is ADRIAN WILLIAMS WHISTLING. TITLES- Whistling Is Brand New, Flight Of The Bumble Bee, The Year 2020, JD's 49 and Perceived, just to name a few. This music will only compliment Chris Ullman's craft.

That guy is rockin that bow tie!
His facial expression while he whistles. Like "are you GETTING this?" "ALL of these sounds are coming from my bowuhday."
Imagine you frist time met the parents of your girlfriend and this dude shows up as her dad. After some hours of smalltalk he shows you this... i couldnt stop laughing... i just cant take this serious.
