It is neutral – the the tongue lips and jaw are relaxed.
The key problem for learners learner s of English pronunciation, is that the schwa is also invisible! It can be spelt with any of the vowels of English: ‘a’ as in amazing /əˈmeɪzɪŋ/ ‘e’ as in father /ˈfɑ:ðə/ ‘i’ as in lentil /ˈlentəl/ ‘o’ as in computer /kəmˈpju:tə/ ‘u’ as in supply /səˈplaɪ/
