The illustration above was captured from a point of articulatory excursion during the animation for /ʌ/ from Tools for Clear Speech By Baruch College. /ʌ/ is  a very similar phoneme to /ə/ (also called "schwa"), but an animation for schwa was not available on the Baruch website. Instead, if you click the image above it will take you to the Sounds American website. From there, click the /ə/ symbol to hear an audio clip and illustration.
