David,
I almost need to have my own question of the day question. I think this is the last one for a bit though.
I'm having no problem creating the WaWa acoustically but when I use the mic I can barely get it at all. Should I be doing a WaWa articulation as well or just holding the note and doing it with my hands? I'm using a brown biscuit, Lee Oskar, my thumb is covering the 9 and 10 and my cheek the rest, I'm covering the sides as well, and I think my seal is tight. So tight my hands almost hurt holding the mic. I've also watched the video on the WaWa several times.
Any ideas?

No articulation from the mouth... it's all hands. This one is simple unfortunately, your cup is not tight yet. The test of a tight cup is that you can do a Wa Wa. Be aware that some holes will have a much stronger Wa Wa affect due to their location on the harp... 2 or 3 is very strong... the 2" really strong (I know you're working on that one). Keep working it, but focus on positioning more than how hard you grip... it takes about a year to get good at.
