The illustration above was modified from illustrations from Tools for Clear Speech By Baruch College to show an approximation of the tongue tip down position for /z/ because this method of producing /z/ was not illustrated on their site.  If you click the image above, it will take you to their animation for the tongue tip up method of producing /z/.
