Manny Laureano has a spectacular aura about
Irrespective to whether you tongue in the traditional way or "anchor" tongue (as described by H.L. Clarke in the "Characteristic Studies" book) the release point is in the same place: where a person would say "tooh" or the number "two". Don't worry about where precisely the tounge operates. Concern yourself with the simple command of the word you use: Two, Tu, or Tooh. They should all sound the same (spare me the French lessons, francofiles, I'm making a larger point).

The key is consistency, however, as you've noticed today. For a consistent sound you need a consistent approach, it's that simple.
