It's tough to explain over a computer, but the best advice I can give you, is first make sure you trim the mouth cll so it fits comfortably in your mouth. You need to be comfortable with it so just keep it in your mouth for a period of time until your comfortable. Next just try to make a sound with it, any sound at all. Don't try to sound like a turkey, just make it squeak and squeal. People have different tactics on how they do each call. But I would just say get to the point where you can make noise consistently then try to work on sounding like a turkey. Apply different amounts of pressure with your tongue or position the call in different spots in your mouth. It will take a while and some getting use to, but just work at it. Hope this helps some. Good luck!
