Nasopharynx

[Blameitonthevodka]

So I've realized it's good to send the sound towards the nasopharynx when singing high notes as it adds power and resonance....should I be doing this in chest voice too? Just confused....!

I don't think so. But personally I don't like to think of resonant placement in terms of parts of the pharynx so I couldn't really tell you for sure.

It sounds nice with high notes but I think using this in chest voice takes away from the nice dark quality of it, but I'm no expert

not for your higher notes......for high notes you want to send the breath tension back and up behind the soft palate where it can travel freely to it's appropriate resonating cavity.

The nasopharynx is behind the soft palate, it resonates the sound in the nasal cavity(I've been doing my research). Other than that, I have no idea how the nasopharynx comes into play with singing, I think it's useful for falsetto too.....not sure where the sound should go for chest voice. All this singing terminology/technique is fairly new to me and I don't have time for lessons but I have to sing! So all I can do is experiment and research/use this forum.

I've been doing some low notes recently but they don't feel like they are in my ribs, so to speak. It still feels like it's in my head.
