> a. Tip of the tongue farther back in the mouth than I thought.
I also spent a long time trying to do the tongue trill and i only got it (that is, hoping I'm doing it correctly) when i put my tongue further back on the ridge and not just behind the teeth as suggested by other sources including some vocalisters. (Whenever I have technical problems I wonder how important individual variations in anatomy are and whether I am doing things correctly. I mean is there an official tongue-trilling position ? ) Coinciding with the cat songs theme (I'm really not obsessed with cats), i've found that if I go for prrrrrrrr rather than trrrrrrrrr, i get into the position for trilling which works for me.
