This is the first time I have understood how to raise the soft palate. Thank you so much! Your videos are the best. I think I'l just watch only your videos; they are so clear.

I'm trying to new technique to keep the soft palate raised. I've noticed for quite a while that many singers I like do not appear to be dropping the jaw or opening the mouth much at all while singing. While working last night, I noticed that dropping the jaw opens up the nasal passages. So when I'm trying to drop the jaw and lift the palate, I'm trying to accommodate two opposing forces. But while the jaw is not being dropped at all, and the mouth is not open very much, it's much easier to keep the soft palate naturally raised. It also reduced tongue tension and makes it easier to articulate. So I'm almost trying hard to prevent to jaw from dropping and the mouth from opening too much and my singing seems to sound and feel much better. So I'm really confused about books that show a singer with their mouth wide open on the cover or teachers that tell you to put two or three fingers in your mouth. Can you really get a great modern vocal sound singing like that? I don't know.

Thank you. Been singing for years and have never been able to raise the soft palate. I think I'm finally getting it after practicing La-Ga's and Ya-Ga's for the last few days. Odd thing is that for me to raise my soft palate, I almost feel like I'm closing the back of my throat. The opposite of what's actually happening. So I would almost have to think about closing the back of my throat to raise the soft palate and cut off singing through the nasal passages. Not sure if that makes sense.

[@EvannaLily123]

Same for me! You described it perfectly. I also have trouble with the soft palate and found it to be so restricting.

[@JohnSmith-pb4ri]

@@EvannaLily123I think what might be happening is that you are closing off the nasal passage, which almost feels like a garage door shutting the back of the throat. I worked on getting this feeling down earlier before every note and every line and wow. Singing was so much easier and sounded so much better.
