Can't easily do a lip trill

I'm enjoying the course.  My problem is that I can't seem to do a lip trill at will.  I've tried support through touching the sides of my mouth and starting with an "M" sound.  Every once in a while I can do it, but not with any consistency and duration.  Any tips?

Thanks,

Dave

Hey, Dave!

Please check out this blog post I wrote and let me know if you find it helpful: https://www.30daysinger.com/blog/lip-trills-all-about-the-vocal-exercise. I've included troubleshooting and lip trill alternatives in there!

Hi Camille,

Thanks so much for link to the blog.  Very helpful.

I'm startlng to get it but I think it will take some time.  I found that if I stick out my tongue prior to performing the lip trill, I can get it going a bit more consistently.  Strange!

Thanks again,

Dave

Interesting, and good to know! Some folks do a "raspberry" or tongue trill (with the tongue sticking out) instead of a lip trill, and that's another form of SOVT. Best of luck!
