There was a really nice study using MRI to explain beat-boxing: 
http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.4773865/ Extensive free related resources at USC here: 
http://sail.usc.edu/span/beatboxing/index.html. (You can download all the videos and 
images behind that page from the parent directory: 
http://sail.usc.edu/span/beatboxing/. Nice of them to keep that open for even easier 
access!

The authors make interesting comparisons to sounds in many minority languages around 
the world (such as the 'click' consonants in many African languages); they also show 
how beatboxing sounds can be represented using IPA symbols.

I like to introduce this with a video of the excellent Tom Thum: https://goo.gl/sIwCj :)

Also, the North Carolina Language and Life Project at North Carolina State University 
has lots of good multimedia resources, many freely available. They have various web 
presences, e.g. https://languageandlife.org/, https://www.youtube.com/user/NCLLP, 
https://vimeo.com/languageandlife, https://www.facebook.com/NCLLP, 
https://www.ncsu.edu/linguistics/ncllp/.

Keep us updated with how it goes!

Dave
