How Native Speakers Say It: Only give full vowel clarity to the primary stressed syllable. Relax all unstressed vowels into a neutral, low-energy schwa (⁄ə⁄).

When "low down" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "low down is" sounds like "low down-iz").
In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "low down" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
