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

      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.
