Is the Yodel in Y!ou?
October 12, 2009 on 2:48 pm | In Fun Stuff, News | 13 Comments
This week, we’ve launched the first-ever Yodel Studio where Yahoo! users can come and record their personalized version of our famous brand sound.
That’s right, the catchy Yahoo! trademark, which is part song, part celebration shout, is ready for you to modify, mix and simply make your own. Be loud, be funny, be serious or be seriously silly, but most of all just be YOU! Just head over to the Yodel Studio, plug in your webcam, select a background track and…Yodel! If you need inspiration, there’s some samples to inspire you.
No webcam? Just use your video phone or camcorder to record your yodel, then upload it here. And if you want to really go all out, you can even download the backing tracks to edit and mix your Yodel at home. Then upload it through the site.
We’re also holding live events in New York, London and Mumbai with a little help from local (and famous!) musicians who will help coach eager Yodelers into giving their best performances.
Don’t think there’s much you can do with our Yodel? Check out the samples below by clicking the play button. Inspired? Record your own and share with your friends!

lets us not forget October is Domestic Violence Awareness month.. There is not enough focus and attention given to this matter. There are women affected by this epidemic every day.There are many who are dying because they are unaware of the resources available to them.. Women, stop living in fear, shame and guilt.. lets speak out to break this vicious cycle.. take a STAND!!!!!!!!

Maybe a Freddy Mercury or Elvis Presley voice shoud fit the perfect sound for an original and quality Yahoo brand sound.

I can not yodel, not at all. Thank you Sarah for the compilation of the best of them. At least I can listen and enjoy.

I’m surprised that you don’t have also a sample with a traditional YODEL, which I think would sound supergreat with Yaaahoo! I hope you’ll take into account my suggestion as, honestly, this was the first thing I expected to find and I didn’t. I’d very much like to have one (I’d create my own one but my voice -believe me- cannot reproduce a original german yodel)
Thanks,
Violet
