My nostrils flare when I sing, which I know is a sign that my voice is going too much through my nose. But when I try opening up the soft palate by working on the “yawn” motion or raising the roof of my mouth, my nostrils just flare even more. I’m unsure what I’m doing wrong.

I’ve also tried vocal warm-ups online but it temporarily (for a couple hours) ruined my voice, making it so unsteady and unable to hold a note.

I’m hydrated. I practice singing often. I know I must be doing SOMETHING wrong, but I don’t know what it could be.

Last summer, Tumblr terminated my account for an unspecified “TOS violation,” but I read through the TOS and there were none that I violated. I have sent in more than twenty support requests from various emails and gotten no response.

I have also tried tagging them in posts, commenting on their tweets/Instagram posts, DMing them on social media, and leaving a poor review on the App Store.

In December, I had a friend send in a support request for me and pretty quickly received a “we’re looking into this” response, but there has been nothing further since then.

I created a new account about eight months ago, but immediately got shadowbanned. I can’t DM on my main blog, and can’t reply/send asks on ANY of my blogs. I’ve tried sending in support requests about this as well but have gotten no response.

Are they ignoring me? Why aren’t they answering my posts, replies, or support requests?

This is so frustrating.
