With regard to the soft palate lift(regardless of voice quality used) I have no problem raising my soft palate without lowering the larynx. My first teacher back in 1965 used the old yawn to open the throat technique which did indeed lower my larynx as well as lift the palate. I later learned how to lift without lowering the larynx, therefore I don't understand why many of you seam to feel that you can't have one without the other. (I throw this out to the list, not really expecting a response since I have the sneaking suspicion that I may not actually exist, since many of my questions have gone unanswered, ignored etc.) Anne
