A friend of mine sometimes, as a joke speaks "inside". A bit of a robotic sound and it's funny

Yes it's possible (singing too) and I guess it's possible that's what he is doing in the clip but I don't think he does that.

It also doesn't look like he is doing what William described. I've played a piece which had a part with two voices, one playing and one singing in the same way William described. Not like the effects he described but same technique of playing and singing two melodies at the same time. This sounds very different.

Anyone can try humming/singing while blowing air and then humming/singing while blowing air from the cheeks, same as blowing/playing while circular breathing. It is different and in the clip it sounds like the latter. So, it sounds/looks like in the clip he is doing exactly what Liquorice described.

So to Tobin: Some of the cheek puffs are for breath and some are for humming. It's not very fast circular breathing.
