What does the hard palate do when singing?
Hard Palate: located at the roof of the mouth. Because this palate is hard sound bounces off it. This can help direct sound and make it resonant.
What is the soft palate singing?
The soft palate moves up at the beginning of a yawn. The tongue usually releases down at the beginning of a yawn. ... Holding up the soft palate is what you want to do when you sing or speak.
