How to Raise Your Soft Palate and Open Your Voice

welcome to sing geek today we're going to work on opening up your voice by racing your soft palate hi my name is Ronnie Peterson and I'm here to geek out on your voice don't arrange yourself palate will give you a more full and resonant tone in your voice it will help you get rid of masala tea and will help you reach some of those higher notes by creating more resonance space we can manipulate our sound with our oral cavity and that's what we're going to do today by learning to raise our soft palate so now you know the benefits of raising your soft palate let's talk a little bit about what the soft palate actually is and do some exercises to help you raise your soft palate and the rule of your mouth you have your hard palate in the front which is like that bony part and then as you go further back where it gets soft it's your soft palate at the end of the soft palate that thing that hangs down in the back it's your vellum when your soft palate is lowered you can breathe through your nose but when the soft palate is raised it closes this neighs Laporte as we call it so you can see if you want to get rid of masala tea for example closing that leaves with pork makes it so that the sound can't travel into your nose that's pretty cool we're about to look into my mouth I just wanted to warn you because I know it can be a little bit gross but my goal really is to get you to learn how to raise your soft palate and I think seeing how it works really gets you there so here next to me you can see that my soft palate is lowered and now it is raised and allured and it is a race again that's how it looks like from the inside let's do two exercises to help you raise your soft palate in the first exercise you're going to feel your soft palate raised with your thumb and in the second exercise you're going to hear the difference between when your soft palate is raised and when your soft palate is lowered so in this first exercise you are going to be putting your thumb in your mouth so we're just wash your hands so at least wash or some before we do this so it's going to go in different steps we're first going to feel the hard palate then we're going to feel the soft palate and then we're going to yawn to raise the soft palate and feel that raise with our song so let's feel the hard palate and scooch it back and not too my back don't get sick that's right I feel a soft part now we're going to be on and feel it raise who can put sound effects if you want okay so I definitely felt my soft palate rates especially right at the tip of my thumb I felt it go off you can also do like a surprised face like it also helps you raise your soft palate so try that up okay let's practice making sound with your soft palate raised so what we're going to do is that we're going to sing huh so that all your song comes out your nose I can show you that it comes out my nose by doing like this huh right it's all coming out here and and then we're gonna just switch to an ah sound huh you can check that it's all coming out here by plucking your nose so that sound did not change the sign that means that the sound is coming out of my mouth let's try that together [Music] a nice round sound right we don't want this No haha yes please we want that haha great work guys the next step is to start practicing this in your songs and so with everything else that we do we can overdo it so be careful that you're not raising your soft palate to the point where you feel constricting in your throat that's not the point right what works for a lot of my students is to do the singers smile where you're sort of smile from within and that raises your cheeks it raises your soft palate and your eyebrows and then usually put your soft palate in a pretty good place if you have any questions about this ask them in the comments below maybe someone else had the same question and I love to geek out on that stuff so bring it on and if it was your first time here today I invite you to subscribe join me here at singing every week as we continue to geek out on your voice to create the sound that you want
