    I've been trying to lift the soft palate by like going into a yawn except I don't really know if I am doing it right.

    Hi, Aaron! 2 things to pay attention to: (1) can you feel some space open in the back of your mouth (above your throat), and (2) can you hear a difference in the tone quality? It may sound yawny at first, but with practice we learn to lift it in varying degrees, guided by the resulting tone quality we're going for. If those two things are happening, you're on the right track!
