WE ARE FINDING THE SAME THING !!!! Front upper head is the best vocal placement, it will automatically raise soft palate, it makes you more forward singing. Others theacer didn't thaught this !
This has clarified a lot, thank you. I used to lift my palate back and up (as in yawning). Just because sharing is loving: The exercise that has completely transformed my voice is taking my tongue out completely , pointing down (watch for tension on neck and jaw), hold it with a cloth, and sing the vowels from the uvula and going up the scale lifting the palate conciously into the same direction you explained. It helps to open everything on the inside, create ping and improve chord closure, extend the range...etc everything that you need for good singing.
Hi, I'm from India . It's changed the game. Now am able to sing most of the difficult notes that I can't sing before. Guys no one will tech you like this. Love you ❤
GREAT video! I never thought about how the pallet can move directionally , no one’s ever mention that before in my many years and thousands of dollars in coaching. It was either up or down, tried this motion and was pleasantly surprised at how much it changed the timbre of the sound. Thanks for taking the time to make these.
I am trying to reach a note I was able to reach a few years ago and don't seem to do now because my voice goes to the back too much, as I am not having singing lessons anymore. These tips are amazing but I will look whether you maybe have a video with the exercises. Thanks.
Interesting! That feeling of “frontal” soft palate lift seems somewhat similar to what I feel when I do the “inside smile” (i.e. an imagined smile in the back of the throat) and the “singer smile” thing (slight lifting of the cheeks). Are those at all related?
Yes! Absolutely related. There's not a whole lot of soft tissue on the head, and that forward palate lift is quite subtle, so you can trigger it in a variety of ways - both things you describe sound like they would do the same thing.
Subtle approach of "raising the soft palate".
Thank you!

Very helpful , the up and forward is helping me so much! Ty!!❤
This is a fantastic video. I tried the bit where you said aim the sound at the middle bit of top of mouth and it worked!

My pleasure- glad they’re helpful! Sometimes an image really is more helpful than an explanation.
Watching your videos on the train. Can't wait to get home to try these tips!
Thank you again!
Really cool video 👌
Any singing tips for a person who has a split uvula? Where the soft palate did not completely fuse.
I always understood that by flairing the nostrils (smelling the rose) lifted the soft palate.
I’ve never heard that, but I’m flaring my nostrils right now and somethings going on! Cant wait to investigate further!
I can reach that very high note if I came from high to low, but on this song I need to go from low to high.

Thanks, Francesca! I'm happy to put together a full warm-up of exercises for bringing the sound to the front. Thanks for a great idea!
