I was wondering if you could please see if i am using a rounded or unrounded vowel in the recording of me saying 'coffee'. Thank you.

How can YOU not tell whether or not you lips are rounded?? That's the strangest request I've seen all day.

Your vowel sounds like a normal /ɑ/ to me, but it's too short to sound natural in the word "coffee". You need to make it longer.
