[@mrfenderstrato]

Thanks for all the insights here!! at 46:35 you describe the AA vowel (like in "fly") as a tricky vowel in curbing. I also have a hard time to curb in this vowel - do you use false fold constriction to close it a bit? Or a different strategy like adding nasality?

[@ToniLinke]

I modify it a bit towards UH, false fold distortion would probably raise the formants again (so open rather than close) because of the twang

[@georgearrows7701]

Hey Toni! On Like a Stone when you refer to nasality, is that different from twang or is nasality just an exaggerated twang "shape"?

[@ToniLinke]

By nasality, I mean an open nose (achieved by a lowered velum) as opposed to all of the sound coming out exclusively through the mouth. It's independent from twang (which is just a narrowing of the laryngopharynx), although in this case I'm using both at the same time.
