so apparently my meow is pretty much indistinguishable from an actual cat x3 (yay voice training!)

how do you, dear reader, suggest i use my newfound powers?

      i’d say sorta like mrow, although the “r” isn’t really an r (as in murky, and what some but not other people call in english schwa). if you speak german its kinda like the shift from u to ö, except the initial sound is a. if you don’t, try and make an a sound (as in tap), then add a little r (as in occur) to it, and that’s pretty much what sound i make after the m. from there, closer to the end, i emphatically bring it to more of that a sound, and quickly finish with the w. i also don’t round my lips at the end with the w.

      i would try and post a voice clip but i’m not really sure how to do that here sadly.

    Confuse your neighbours like I did once (they thought there was an actual cat in need of help once near our house)

      something along the lines of “then an alien arives: NECO-ARC” i think (neco-arc is the name of the funny cat)

    If it’s anything like my kitten meow used to be, turn it into a whistle note. I only found out after I lost my voice that the technique for the meow and achieving a whistle note is very similar.
