Comments on: Alveolar Trills Revisited: Enter the Tiger http://www.zenoli.net/2009/03/alveolar-trills-revisited/ High Weirdness in Low Places Wed, 09 Jun 2010 20:17:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: paul http://www.zenoli.net/2009/03/alveolar-trills-revisited/comment-page-1/#comment-15745 paul Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:50:56 +0000 http://www.zenoli.net/?p=211#comment-15745 Joe, Mark, and Becky, Thanks for the interest! I have managed to refine the sound produced by this method, but it's still difficult to achieve in the context of a word. Joe's question is to the point: my glottis is definitely vibrating along with the tongue, though the sound is quite different than an uvular trill. At this point, I need to lock an actual person in the room with me and force them to produce several hundred alveolar trills while I listen and try to peer into his or her mouth with a flashlight. Any, um, volunteers? Joe, Mark, and Becky,

Finally tried it today...and it sits in a weird place in my mouth. But it totally works!!! Thank you!!!

I think that's where I am at... and when I try to "move it forward" in my mouth, it still feels like an uvular trill but the tongue is shaking a little too... that is.. I can still feel that my uvula is pointed forward. what's the back of your throat doing here? when you are doing the “growl” or “chewbacca” in the tiger method, are you effectively doing the uvular trill?
