Is all a dark l? Thx

[@pronunciationsnippets]

Yes, it sure is, because that L is occurring after a vowel sound.

[@bonkoo5978]

I thought you supposed to put tip of your tongue on gum ridge above front teeth?

[@pronunciationsnippets]

That's also a possible placement for the light L (not the dark L, though).

[@bonkoo5978]

So when pronouncing dark L, do you lightly touch back of your lower front teeth or do you touch more firmly?

[@pronunciationsnippets]

Just lightly. It's simply an anchor point, to keep the tip of the tongue low in the mouth.
