I practice during my commute. Find a diaphragm that fits your palate. I have found that diaphragms differ greatly I width and it can really affect the tone that your calls will have. Also will determine how easy it is to make a decent sounding call.

What is your opinion of the calls you got from amazon. I am in the beginners boat as well. I want to ensure that any failure is do to me not the equipment. Learned this the hard way with duck calls.

I second this as well.  Out of all the elk hunters in the world Paul's way of teaching is the easiest for me to understand and he is fune to listen to.  Here are a few podcast that focus more on elk calling tactics and situations, rather than producing calls, but I have listened to them several times.

I know I am missing a couple.  I think their was a second one with the rich outdoors.

Also, I love the Podbean App.  It fixes a lot of little problems that would frustrate me with just downloading them and using my normal player on my phone.

Well it looks like you live in Tacoma, so best advice would be keep them in your truck or car and practice when you are stuck in traffic.
While I agree with practicing while you drive, I will caution folks, do not keep them in your vehicle.  Keep them in a pocket, or bag you carry, but not in the vehicle all day.  Heat really nukes them, and summer time (when most of us practice because OMG season is a month away) it is very hot in a vehicle in the sun..  Don't ask me how I know.

Everyone's mouth is different so you gotta find what fits.  I take a narrow to medium frame and prefer a tight stretch latex.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Just remember, what, when, and why you make a call is 100x more important, then how great you sound.  At least where predators, ungulates, and turkeys are concerned.  I can't speak for waterfowl.

timing is also very important with waterfowl.

Get a hold of Paul  (elknut)I bought 1 of his package deals some calls tapes DVD and his playbook.
It was very informative.
As tbradford said it's more important why and what call you make and pauls info is great.
Call him he will talk your ear off he loves this stuff and his enthusiasm is contagious.

I didn’t get an elk for myself but, thanks to Rory’s teaching and suggestions I was able to call out some cows that were beaded so a friend could get a shot a them.
