Not everyone who sounds nasal actually is.
Remember, in singing we want everything to be in balance.
In terms of nasality, you can be too nasal or even too oral or mouthy
As a matter of fact, sometimes if you’re not singing nasal at all, it sounds like you have a cold.
Regardless if you go too far in either direction, it’s going to sound bad.
Now, let’s actually talk about what creates that nasality and how you can get rid of it.
Nasality happens when the soft palate or velum is relaxed and lowered, letting the tone go into the nose.
There’s a bit of nasality that occurs naturally in most languages: n, m, ñ and many french vowels are nasalized.
And there’s often an amount of nasality that’s totally fine. Just remember that we don’t want to be too nasal.
I should also point out that some people feel nasality when they’re singing in the top part of their voice. This is totally normal and not always nasal.
You may even hear me singing a bratty or pharyngeal sound which sounds nasal but actually isn’t.
So the first step is to become aware if you’re singing nasal or not and if so, how to fix it. How do you know if you’re actually nasal or not?
Try this: sing Ah, next sing “Ah” and plug your nose. If there’s no change in the tone, it’s not nasal.
However if there’s a change you’ll feel it. I want you to try this any time you feel you’re singing nasal.
Now in addition to feeling your nose, you can also try to consciously channel the sound more out your mouth. This is more “oral” singing because the tone is coming out your mouth.
To do this, you can pretend that you have a cold--this raises the soft palate so that no tone goes into your nose.
You can also do vocal exercises that use “b” consonants
In order to form a “b” consonant, your lips are pressed together and you pass air through your mouth while the soft palate is lifted
This is the difference between a “buh” and “muh” consonant

Hey, as a vocal teacher myself, I wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. You do a great job at condensing ideas that have taken me years to learn, and that's why the times you mention something I've not heard before my ears perk up, because I trust that you know what's up, 😁
that is so kind of you, thanks for watching
Thank you SO much for this video. I’ve been trying to learn to sing for 3 years but I still sounded so nasally. I’d pretty much given up on it until I found this video. Thank you so much, I feel like you’ve given me my motivation back
Loved this video! Thank you :)
Thanks! Pinching the nos and pretending I have a cold were very useful
Love it. Love it!!
It was another important lesson. Good job Sir!
glad to hear
Wow! Pretending like I have a cold really works! I never knew what it meant to raise the soft palate!
Am still wacthg,when am done,will comment again 😊
thanks
This is really awesome! I will try these exercises tomorrow when it's not 5am and people trying to sleep. I know that when I sing in my comfortable range with chest voice, I sound normal, but when I get to that bridge part where I have to switch to head voice, it gets really nasal, and that's what bugs me. I just wrote a song that forces me to sing right in that bridge area, around C3 to Ab3, as I crack right in the middle there at F3. I dunno why I made that decision but here we are... well, it's a good challenge though! And I like the contrast in the sound of switching between chest voice and head voice.
Anyway, I could sorta mitigate that nasal issue by just allowing more air into my mouth, but it didn't fully fix the issue. But your exercises here make a lot of sense so I'll definitely give them a go. Also yes I did briefly test if it's really nasality(?) when I go up to those kinda tones, by holding my nose, and ugh yeah, it changed the sound a lot. I don't really hear it in my head when I sing, only when I listen to it being played back.
Thank you so much! My natural speaking voice is quite nasaly and I had no idea how to change that for my singing lol. I don't want to fully get rid of it because I like that kind of sound and I don't feel like it would sound like me if I removed it completely, but with these exercises I can hopefully be more aware of it :D
I don't think you should remove it Bcs is natural,I Blve thts you 😊
As long as you dont sound like Squidward it should be fine. My natural voice is a bit nasal too.

Thank you for this
Thank you so much!
Nice and clear tutoring thanks and well done Sir.
glad to hear
You are amazing ✨
thanks for watching
No matter how hard I try, my sister tells me I sound nasal. I hope to improve after this.
great explanations!
thanks!
I love❤ this
Hi Ramsey, Would you comment on Mike Love's "nasal singing" from the Beach Boys? Curious what you think. I always liked all the Beach Boys voices myself. Thanks David Stadalnik
Well this is a good thing to know i though for certain i had a nasal sound but based on this video i don't:)
Thankyou so much for your videos! They helped me a lot!
I'm glad
hey matt big fan, i have a question, i’ve developed my chest voice quite a bit but how do i know when to start moving on to using head voice? they say that if you start using head voice too early you could potentially lose notes on your chest. so how do i know when i’m ready ? i’ve expanded my chest far enough to where i’m almost in a mix voice at high notes.
My singing voice sounded similar to Billy Joe Armstrong and I am curious, you mentioned in the video that his voice is *not* nasal, and demonstrated why, but what would you call that specific quality of his voice?
Never go Full nasal- tropic thunder
?
Turns out I’m not as nasal as I thought… but I think my problem might be enunciating while I sing and breathing
Is there a video for the opposite, for us that sound like we are sick when singing? :D
His expression when he demonstrated nasality anggg anggg !! Lmao less go broo
When I try to hit higher notes I to use my nose and I’m trying to work on that but I need some tips and exercises. I don’t want to lose the strength in my voice. Do you have any advice for me? It would be a big help.

"Spund bad" is obviously subjective. Some songs might need these "bad" sounds for style
I suffer from hay-fever which makes it difficult to find my voice, unless I get the vicks out
Im Australian 😭 Its so hard to get out of this habit
Hope you react to Darren Espanto I believe.. thank you. Godbless
thanks
I tried finding my natural voice yet it just sounds like my speaking boice
well, actually that's a good start
Is nasal a bad thing ówò ?
OK
04:30 🦆🦆 😃😃
you mean like magnus Latin word for great
I know ; Latin is not everybody’s cup of tea
I am clearly VERY immature because every time you say Nasal I think of another word 😅😅
Wow you are so Boss. really helped great at conveying the core elements. 🦙🐦
