That’s my point. “F” should be labiodental, “ph” should be bilabial. It’s not the “accepted” way, that phoneme doesn’t really exist in English, but it should.
Not really keen on sharing my voice online. It sounds almost identical, just a little softer. You can try it yourself: wherever there’s a “ph”, put your lips together as if it were a “p”, then separate them the tiniest bit and push air through like an “f”.
Kinda like you’re blowing off soup, but without pursing your lips. I think it’s basically like the embouchure for a single reed woodwind.

Interesting. Can you record yourself saying “photograph” with two bilabial [Φ]s?

the voiced bilabial fricative is /m/
how do you make an /f/ sound- voiced or not - with your lips closed?
edit: nvm, I watched the video, it’s for non-english speakers and doesn’t really work without releasing into a vowel.
