Has anyone ever told you that you should have an “inner smile” when you sing, but then not explained how to do it—or why you should? (And you couldn’t tell if you were already doing it?) Have you ever struggled with nasality in your singing voice? Are you looking for that special resonance that classical singers prize?

This 45-minute vocal workout—delivered live, via Zoom—will explain how the answers to all of these questions are related to the behavior of your soft palate. Vocal exercises will focus on:

• Understanding the anatomy and physiology of this part of the throat

• Tools for learning appropriate activation of the soft palate, and how to monitor its position

• Eliminating excess nasality in the singing voice, while healthily nasalizing vowels that require it (e.g., in French)

• What nasal resonance is…and what it isn’t

Remember, practice makes permanent. To help train your soft palate appropriately, we invite you to repeat this workout often. Every Soft Palate workout is different, while focusing on the same set of fundamental skills.
