    All my life as a singer, from alto to soprano, NO ONE... taught me this. All I always hear was of "breathing control" and "opening my mouth more". Not one person in my entire life has ever told me about this specific detail. Yawning, yes. Opening my mouth, yes. But this! THIS WAS THE MAIN DETAIL I NEVER KNEW OF! 23 years of singing. I watch this video. I can pull off singing high and low without worrying of scratches at the throat, or forcing more air pushes from my stomach. I'm ready for the solo this Saturday. God bless this video 😭🙏❤

" I was so frustrated with that sentence cause it was never properly explained to me HOW to actually do it. And it never came to my mind to stick a finger in my throath. Well, now I did.... I felt my soft palate, figured out what is the best position for it and my voice was instantly better. Thank you

    It took a couple months to sing with an open soft pallet naturally, and boy what an improvement in the tone of my voice, my volume has improved (of which I was seriously lacking 😅), and control, and the ability to sing within mixed voice range longer & more steady without cracking, and to sing higher and lower notes more comfortably than when I started!

    @@gibsonlauren5072 Chest voices are stronger and more powerful than a head voice, which has a breathy tone to it and is a lot higher. They're named so as they seem to vibrate inside your chest or head. I'd say both are important; a chest voice is good for powerful songs with a lot of emotion (take Into the Unknown from Frozen), while a head voice is used to hit very high notes, and often used in opera.

    I'm happy to hear that the video was helpful! Flat singing can be very frustrating, especially when you are aware of it, and it can make you feel self conscious about your voice. It common for people, who feel timid about singing, to hold back on their natural sound volume which can make you sing flat. I'd recommend that you try singing out loud somewhere where you feel "safe" and see if you are still singing flat. Working on breath support can also help to get rid of flat singing. Hope that helps :)

    I’ve had so many instructors tell me to raise my soft pallet but nobody ever equated it to closing off the back of my nostrils as I do when I’m trying to breathe only through my mouth… your anatomical graphic showed that it was the same thing! Thank you so much! This was such a breakthrough! Now I just have to practice it- I’ve already found it’s easier to do with Eeeee than with Aaaah, but just a few minutes of practice have shown improvement! Thank you!

    Medo Fawzy Yes it is, I saw you asked about the larynx earlier. Inhaling with the "surprised face" often lowers the larynx a bit too, which is helpful when singing higher. At one point when you've practiced more, you should be able to raise the soft palate without making the face :)

    The best advice I received for opening the soft palate is to completely allow the breathe you inhale to open it for you. As you press the breathe against the diaphragm it will keep the soft palate open for as long as you need. This really helps to prevent straining.

    Great explanation! Are there any good exercises to do when you feel that your nose sometimes sound stuffed singing phrases in a song (i assume due to lack of control of the soft palate) when switching between say the consonant m and a vowel. I also found one thing that is really tricky to do if you don't raise the soft palate, and that is to do a normal whistle since all air escapes though the nose.

    Great explanation!! I usually struggle at E4-F4 (I'm newbie baritone), but now with this position a-la-home-alone and with my soft palate raised to close my nasal passage I can reach C5 ... and loudly at that ... I sound like a horny seagull, but I hope I can work on it to put more mix and make it sound more natural. Also after trying this and hitting the notes from A4 to C5 several times, it's much easier to reach E4-F4 ! Thank you! I feel I'll be going over your whole channel! :)

    Thank you for this valuable information and taking the time to share it. I have a question: In what order should the following occur. Should the soft palate be raised prior to taking in your air, or afterwards or at the same time? I ask, because i noticed that when i focus on making sure i have sufficient air for my next line, the focus on raising the palate diminishes. I suppose more practice as with anything, but wanted to get your input on this. Thank you.

    Hi Dapper Dan, Thanks for your question! Yes that would be a good way to check it. Just be aware that the air will go in your nose when you sing words with 'm' or 'n' sounds. These sounds are natural nasal sounds which automatically lowers the soft palate. Hope this helps, otherwise please don't hesitate to ask again :)
