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

Sometimes I just read people's e-mails and agree with them or say, "Yeah, I
wonder that too," but don't make the time to say so... sorry!
I also don't have a problem with raising my soft palate without radically
lowering my larynx or widening my pharynx. I think that those can happen
(Paul Kiesgen at IU calls the over-lifted palate giving a singer the look of
"a dog eating peanut butter") but I think that a lifted palate is a natural
part of the process to avoid a nasal tone and create more resonance space.
So for those people who say, "If you're not nasal, it isn't necessary to
raise the palate," you're right, it isn't necessary, because it's already
raised. If it weren't, the person would have some nasality in the sound.
