How to make this sound:

Video Text:

The aw sound.  This aw is very similar to the ah as in father, which is a little more open, ah. Aw. You can see, there is a shift in the lips, and also the cheeks come in a little bit. Ah, father, aw, law. So, the coming in of the cheeks kind of makes this a little bit longer and the lips come out just a little bit. Ah, aw. There is also a very subtle change that happens with the tongue. In ah as in father, it's laying. And it continues to lay on the aw law, but the difference is, in the back, it shifts back a little bit. It shifts back towards the throat. Ah, aw. And that changes the color just a little bit.  Sample words:  law, crawl, log.  Sample sentence:  Your daughter is taller than when I saw her last fall.
