As director of a "folk chorus" (called Animaterra!) , where the music is from traditions all over the world, not the "masterwork repotwah", I can say with some authority that WYSIWYG has nailed it, once again! Genie's take on the final consonant is spot on as well, and I can only add that you need to "bounce" off the consonants more crisply than you ever would when speaking. Even in folk singing, friends- classical technique has some good things to teach us! Few things irk me more idjus than listening to a singer with lovely tone, but not understanding the words due to mushy diction!
