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
