That's interesting you say that Adzie, because I'd assume (am I right?) that it's predominantly consonants and that cause us tension. Do you find breathing out on the word helps if vowels cause trouble? When I have trouble saying 'Today' etc, I know my 'o' sound is always strange. I have to say too-day as opposed to ta-day, and so on, and it sounds slightly tense. Good to hear from you and thanks again for replying ;)
