There's a book by Alan Greene where he advocates that to. He describes how
to keep the tongue lowered for all vowels, but I couldn't find mine: it must
be in some parallel universe with some of my socks and bills. I'll have to
wait for a new astrological configuration for it to come back to our
universe ( I hope the bills continue there ).
Anyway, you can go to a bookstore and take at look: it's in the final pages.
He says you must sing on the HONH: larynx lowered, lifted soft palate and
the tip ot the tongue resting V-shaped at the bottom of the mouth FOR ALL
VOWELS.
