You guys are freakin’ awesome and I am so happy you wrote that John as that was my thought exactly after reading your post (with absolute and utter respect!!!) haha
Bill, as I said in our chat, you are all over it without even realising. Just work with whatever pitch you are creating and all so slowly just work on moving it up or down a semitone or less. Just get used to the mouth moving without the body engaging.
