Hey all,
I'm working on my vowel mods and they're coming along fairly well but, to my ear my "R's" sound really "hard" for lack of a better term. I try and sing "ah" (oz) and/or "uh" but it doesn't seem to fit every situation I've come across. It's a sticking point for me and I haven't been able to find a solution yet. Does anybody have any suggestions or recommendations on how to adjust things to soften how my "R" sound? Is there a tip or tips that anyone can share to help a brother out?
Thank you everyone,
Cheers!

R is a consonant. We don't sing or sustain on consonants.
So "he's my brotherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" wouldn't be what we would sustain.
We would sustain on the AH of Bro-th-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-r, just touching on the r of br- and the r of thah-r. In fact we could leave the one on the end out altoge-thah, if you know what ah meh-n.
Soften and minimize all of your consonants. Sing like we sing. Don't sing like we speak.
