I started singing lessons this year after a good deal of procrastination. My teacher showed me this vid of someone singing and it shows in great clarity just how big and dynamic the tongue is. You can also see the soft palate rising as well (I believe). I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Amazing, some of those notes had the tongue almost shutting the airway off and yet the sound remaind the same,who would have thought the tounge moved about so much.
I was talking with a guy at open mic the other day. He had a harp, and so I joked that we harp players needed to spread the word that harp players use our tongue a lot. He looked at me like I was crazy.
He was a folk/rack player. Not a bend in sight. The worst part though, is he seemed to have better luck with the ladies. :(
You're on the right track though Nate. Dang those rack players and they fandangle multi-tasking tomfoolery! Who wants a gal impressed by that kinda shenanigans anyway! ----------
