Lesson 6 is about proper lip position ... and no ... this is not an example of good lip control. Tom goes over several theories and concerns. The old school way is clenched mouth into a fake smile. You see it all the time. But it is not natural. It separates the figure from ventriloquist. When you see the smile, it's a red flag. It causes your mind to have to disbelieve a little more. The way Tom shows is a little more difficult, takes more practice, but is natural and gives optimum air flow for sound to go forth. Tom then gives us the vowels to practice. A welcome relief for many of us who were chompping at the bit. Lord, give us paitence at baby steps.
