J. But I don't think that has anything to do with it. I don't have problems with J's elsewhere. You could change my name to anything and just the stress and time pressure associated with it will cause...

I do. It's tough because it's such a light sound. Don't know if I have any tips. It's easy to use bad tricks to fill in for such a light sound, so what I try to do is make sure I clearly articulate th...
