Ok here's the deal ive noticed that when i take my highest notes my Soft palate lowers realy much thus closing off the entire vocal path in the back.

can someone give a tip on how to train it to remain raised?
ive tried the yawn and the big tenor breaths, but they dont seam to do it for me...
always thought i had the palate raised but when i looked in a mirror as i tried to take those highnotes i instantly saw how it lowered realy much and clos...(you know the rest) happy for help!

Big tenor breaths???? That's your first mistake! You DO NOT need a big breath for high notes. Tip #2- follow the Raise Your Voice system. and watch the videos on the Members section. practice the owl exercise so you learn where to place your voice.

The owl exercise is in ryv2 or in a certain
video lesson?

thanks.

Well the thing is that i dont think it's the placement, i hum to get the resonance buzzing on my teeth but as i take it higher...
i watched this in a mirror i saw the whole thing come down and close of almost all my throath only leaveing a small pinhole. i tried several things just to trick the voice to keep the soft palate raised on the high note. but as i came to a certain point(note) it came down.
thanks for tip though il try the owl infront of a mirror and see if it makes a diffrence

The owl exercise is mentioned and explained in one of the videos. I do not remember which one. Jens, it is most defnitely placement. The teeth buzzing is a partial sign of correct placement. Sounds like a lot of stress and constriction. I would work on Bullfrogs, tongue pushups and removing tension from the tongue from the useful tips in the section on VSR from RYV. Plus work with the mirror. This is a very common problem with singers that is caused from years of misdirecion, where the mind/body thinks you are trying to swallow as you ascend. Also try yawning and making the biggest highest yawning sound ever, then slide down your range. Don't make it musical; really yawn and let out a BIG sigh. Really over exaggerate the yawn. You'll get it.

Yeah the same thing happens to me...I think someone mentioned this in the post called Tonsils (Uvula). To tell you the truth, I can't produce a high note without out my throat narrowing and my uvula disapearing...I just can't do it...I feel relaxed...it doesn't feel like there is a great strain...but it still happens. It kinda scares me because it means too much tension, but as of yet i can't seem work my way around it.

BIG thanks for all the tips! you need to be pushed in the right direction some times!
now il work infront of the mirror and see what it does for me.
It's mostly in the high falsetto/mix parts over tenor C that makes it lower like crazy, even when i go whistle probably why my whistle is so unstable from day to day
