<< as i experiment with opening and closing the nasal port (going back and forth from 'uh' to 'uh-huh', non nasal to nasalized) it seems that there is a corresponding reduction in sub-glottal pressure when opening the nasal port. >>
Have you noticed whether the larynx rises in conjunction with the increased nasality? This seems to often be the case with this sort of technique, no?
-Speaking of the velum/soft palate...my current teacher often speaks of raising the soft palate by first raising the 'zygomatic arch.' Is there scientific evidence for this connection? Does raising one necessarily raise the other?
thanks!
