Subject:  That darned rolled 'r'

I've been trying to learn how to roll my r's over the last couple of
weeks but without much success. I've already looked through the
vocalist-temporary archives (and how I wish the search function worked
a bit better) and have tried some of the suggestions there (e.g.,
repeating 'rario, radio') but without any real success.

Right now I can produce a slow and uneven rolling 'r' at the back of my
throat, with the rolling sensation placed at the roof of the mouth.
Try as I might though, it's not moving forward and it has practically
no ring to it at all. It also takes a moment or two before it kicks
in, and then fitfully.

My guess is that I'm doing something wrong here, problem is I don't
know what. Any thoughts out there on what else I could try? Or is it
perhaps just a question of giving it more time?

Thanks!
Ingo
