OK....this is kind of tounge and cheek...so bear with me.
Joe perry use to use a home-made talk-box. He took a air-tight leather sac filled with air, ran a tube from it to his mouth. Now this part takes some talent. you have to manually squeez the sack with your elbow against the side of your body. You have to do this while strumming/picking you guitar (in other words, you have to squeez the air-bag and play your guitar at the same time). While doing that put you mouth up to a microphone. By squeezing the air into your lungs, you adjust the sound by moving you lips in variouse directions.
I have tried this before, but not with a mic. If I had a Mic. I think it would work.

I hope I was of some help. And I hope this dont confuse ya to much, if anyone else can explain this better, be my guest!!
Thankyou
