I get the advice, but what results from that isn't a proper "ee" vowel but more of a German ü or a French u ([y] is the IPA symbol). The basic idea is that the "ee" vowel is MOSTLY a function of tongue position (high and arched, with the edges touching your top teeth), NOT your lip position. So if you put your tongue in the right place, you can keep your lips pretty neutral (not spread out, not puckered together) and still produce a clear "ee" vowel.
@@girlwhoeatscarrots-db1uy Great! The other tip I have is about the tip of your tongue: generally speaking, you should try to keep it right behind the front bottom teeth so that you're not subconsciously retracting your tongue as you open up (retracting the tongue tends to push your larynx down, and you want it to be flexible). The middle of your tongue should still be able to elevate and arch while the tip of your tongue stays there. There are of course times when the tip of your tongue needs to come up to form certain consonant sounds (n's, l's, r's, t's, and so on); and that's fine! Just make sure it returns to the default position right behind your bottom front teeth once it's done whatever it needs to do in that regard.
Was your chorus teacher a Disney princess by any chance?
Singing Snow White's songs really helped me find my voice btw
your voice is amazing
The lip pucker is used by soo many great singers
@@onepleiadian only for e's or for all singing ?
Love it. The "e" is exactly what I was struggling with this morning during vocal exercises.

Yes, I agree 😊
