For a while I thought I was correctly pronouncing the rolled r sound until I rather embarrassingly discovered what I was doing was actually more like a uvular trill. I can get most of the way to doing the trill properly now, but I’m running into an issue where the sound of it is wrong. The best way I could describe is that it’s too sibilant, or too airy. There’s also a slight problem of the trill kind of turning into /s/ or /z/ (or a similar sound) when I’m starting or finishing it. I’ve tried to find information on what sound I’m actually making or what I’m doing wrong but pretty much everything directs me to what I was already doing, that and I generally can’t find anyone having my problem.
