1. Give the microphone a clear sound
Start somewhere reasonably quiet. Allow Microphone access when the game asks, then follow Voice Setup with an easy hum and a gentle range sweep. The aim is to find a comfortable range you can return to, without forcing high or low notes.
Use a normal, comfortable voice. Vocal Glide responds to pitch: how high or low the note is. Getting louder is not the main control.
2. Pick the kind of play you want
Choose Moonlit Cave if you want to move through a world. Your pitch guides a fairy through passages. Choose Note Garden if you want to linger with a note and see a flower bloom. Note Garden has no score or failure.
Magic Bunny, Butterfly Meadow and Free Glide give the voice other jobs: moving a hat, aiming and releasing a spell, or painting a sky. You can explore those once the basic input feels familiar.
3. Try a small change, then a steady note
Hum a comfortable note, shift a little higher, then a little lower. Notice what changes on screen. Return to an easy note and hold it briefly. You are learning a controller through a visible response.
There is no need to sing lyrics or perform a song. A hum or comfortable vowel gives you a simple sound to work with.
4. Keep the first session short
The game offers one-to-five-minute sessions and Endless play. Begin with a short session so you can concentrate on a single action. If you share the phone, let the next player set up for their own comfortable voice.
If the movement feels unreliable
- Check that Microphone access is enabled for Vocal Glide in iPhone Settings.
- Move away from background conversation or other strong sounds.
- Use an easy, clear hum and keep the phone positioned consistently.
- Revisit Voice Setup if the range feels awkward.
For a continuing problem, use Vocal Glide Support and include your device, iOS version and what happened.
