Let's start by helping you to become familiar with your oral cavity and how its resonance is affected by your tongue location and the size of your throat.

Vocalize "E" as in "Key" without the K... and while continuing to sound this, slowly change it to "OH"... and then slowly to "AH" and then slowly to a yawn while still vocalizing. Picture in your mind's eye the location of your tongue relative to your mouth and what happens to your jaw position for "OH" and your throat for the yawn.

More tomorrow...
