Practice 9/1/17

9:45 AM

Some residual phlegm on folds, but I think that's just dehydration. Causing some scratch in sound.

  • Start low (no higher than G4)
  • taking concepts from Lesson 8/31/17:
    • gently release soft palate upwards; key is gentle
    • be aware of root of tongue and tip of tongue
    • watch [i] for purity, as well as [u]
    • stay ground (use whip/belt/rope for pulling)
  • be patient. start quietly.
  • watch chin, and temporal muscles.
  • gentle panting for scrape-y onsets
  • sometimes thinking about tongue is too much; so think release space between molars AND front canines (so sound doesn't fall back)
  • on [i]: release blade of tongue.
    • back molars release (of both palates... hard/soft)
  • experiment with different vowel order/patterns
Still some interference in larynx. Perhaps tongue? (Probably tongue.)
