To produce the /aw/ sound, the tongue must be high and far back in the mouth, with the teeth wide apart and lips forming a circular hole. As air moves through the mouth, the tongue moves forward to touch the lower front teeth, and the lips close slightly to form a smaller hole. Producing the sound properly involves opening the mouth well before closing it into the smaller circular shape.
