Name: A Relaxed Tongue
ID: m20176
Language: English (en)
Summary: This module represents a brief discussion of the role of the tongue in vowel formation. The tongue has another distinct role in the sounding of consonants. A relaxed tongue is necessary to good vowel formation. Most young singers do not have a problem in this area; a few do though and it is good to be able to spot that as a problem regarding vowel formation and eventually regarding consonants.
