When articulating during the cording exercise are you maintaining the tongue block embouchure or are you in a puckering embouchure?

 

I find it difficult to say Tata and tootoo without my lips and a pucker embouchure. If you're puckering on the cord do you maintain the pucker or do you move to a tongue block, emboucher for the single notes?

 

Thanks
