can't do lip trill

Hello everyone! I have tried everything Jonathan Estabrooks has to say about lip trills, and I've also tried many many lip trill techniques from a number of other instructors in the past. And so I have concluded that I simply cannot do lip trills. I wonder if there are some other warm up exercises that can take the place of the lip trill?

Thanks everyone for your time!

Straw singing is a great alternative! See below for a few resources:

I had this same issue, I found this great YouTube video that helped me, it takes two hands on the cheeks and you just need to add some extra support for your cheeks and the corners of your mouth. If this helps you can experiment with hand placement, took me like three days but now I can do it with only two fingers!
