Woooooow. Thank you sooooo much. Aiming the sound out my forehead instantly improved my tone. It's almost pleasant sounding now. Thank you for getting me closer to my goals
Great video! I suggest you rename the video in something about not lifting the soft palate or how we shouldn't control it, just to make it stand out more. It might be one of the few videos that does not focus on "controlling your larynx", but really letting it do what it does. Thank you!
Thank you for the comment. I’m happy you are recovering and feeling better. I’m not in a position to advise you on this, but i’d say trust your body as well.
@@TheVoiceGuru the only thing I am struggling with is the falsetto, anytime I sing with falseto it doesn't sound,it's just as if I am whispering,like I am trying to blow 🌬️ a burst balloon 🎈
Thank you for your comment. First, when you inhale, the soft palate lifts. The key is to sing within that inhalation state by interrupting the "inhalation" with the sound. so it's as if you continue breathing in but you sing while feeling as if you are still filling your lungs with air. Does this make sense? If not, I'm releasing a video this week and another one next week that discuss this.
@@TheVoiceGuru thank you for your respons. I have a whole lot of tongue tension, is it possible that that is also the reason why I have trouble with my soft palate?
do contraltos and mezzos have a lower soft palette than sopranos?? I always struggled with tone and accessing my chest and I think this is why. I always had a weird "beegees" sound singing and I was told by someone to try to lower the soft palette
When you say Beegees, do you mean singing in Falsetto? Usually this comes from an unstable coordination between vocal vibration and the air. Soft palate should always be elevated, though it lift because of the air pressure and not because we want to lift it with our minds. I hope this helps!
Omg why dosent this have more views!?
Thank you! Share it so it can get more views
Great explanation of a complex mechanism.
Great! I’m happy this is helpful. Cheers
Straight facts all the way through 💯

Thank you Karyn for the comment and the suggestion. You’re right, I should rename the video!
Great stuff. I've had massive issues with this since vocal surgery. Everything feels wrong, its like starting over haha.

I understand, try keeping the air flowing and the legato while staying open (jaw and throat). The falsetto shouldn’t be pushed either.
great video
I don't understand one thing people say wen you yawn your soft palate raises but if you do that does it stay raised the whole time you sing

Great video, at 3:30 are you referring to releasing the sound at the third eye?
Yes exactly! Very well understood
so should we always breath through our mouth when singing?
Thank you for the comment. Breathe in from the mouth, but it doesn’t mean you should block the nose. Air passes through from both sides.

Tongue pressure can be a sign of pressure in the throat too. All the muscles are connected. Allow the “energy” to come from the breath instead
