Tension

Hello,

i've currently been working on mixing and improving my tone. I have improved immensely which is great.

However when I sing I tend to tense my jaw or close my mouth at the end of sentences too early, and I have this weird habit where the bottom of my jaw moves up and down. I know I need to open my mouth more, but when I do my jaw become sore. I also find that when I'm mixing sometimes I have tension in the nose/face area. And it's definitely affecting the quality of my voice.

is there any advice? Or Videos I can be pointed to?
