blog entry when lips to this it’s not a
V the lips must do this mmm must have
been have have been very beautiful very

word carved he stops the sound in the
middle carved carved it almost sounds
like a be car car carved carved
delicately cow carved as if as if here
the v carved carved here in the word
every he pronounces the v sort of as a
mix between a w and then our and his
lips take this position arre arre hmm
it’s really all about the lip position
in this sound every deal is perfect in
every detail as as if they were new I
liked her as if you but I didn’t hear
that every every detail every detail as
if David I still hear a V I here’s all
of the sound every every every yeah
every here in the word of he started to
move his lip up into the correct
position but he stopped making sound
with his vocal cords if he had continued
to pass air it would have sounded like a
F but he did not even do that he didn’t
continue to pass air and he didn’t make
a sound with his vocal cords
which meant that the sound just kind of
tapered off at the end of the word o of
hmm very important to keep making sound
here o printing um Oh Oh green tea no

a very brief Oh as long as you have the
lip coming up and the vocal cords making
sound you’ll be good
