Re: Overcoming Anchor Tonguing

Disclaimer: what I'm about to tell you has worked for me, but may not for you.

I myself am an anchor tounger. I suffered with similar issues involving crappy tone, slow tounging, etc. This was very frustrating, made only worse by the "prejudice" against this way of tounging.

What has worked for me is to realize that anchor tounging is often associated with a lower tounge position. By focusing on raising the back of my tounge and exploring different voicings, I have been able to improve upon many of the issues that I have been suffering from without relearning how to articulate.

This may be something to consider. The issues you are experiencing may be more issues caused by poor voicing/bitinqg, rather than where you happen to articulate.

Just a thought.

Best of luck on your journey!
