What to do if your singing voice is too nasal

Some friends have a heavy nasal tone when they sing. This can make people feel distressed. The heavy nasal tone in singing can be improved through certain methods. First of all, you need to adjust the state of the inside of the mouth, learn to pronounce correctly, and focus the sound forward. Through certain training and improvement, you can achieve certain results.

What to do if your singing voice is nasal

This kind of voice with too heavy nasal tone is bound to affect the clarity of pronunciation and the beauty of the sound, making the voice sound dull and lifeless. At the same time, singers will experience a series of problems such as difficulty in singing high notes and voice dispersion. How to solve these problems? Now it is summarized as follows:

(1) Adjust the internal state of the oral cavity

When singing and practicing voice, if the mouth is opened too wide, the jaw will be pulled down too much, making the throat tight and the larynx squeezed. This will inevitably cause the oral cavity to be too stretched, and the nasal cavity will also be opened, causing the sound from the vocal cords to go straight into the nasal cavity and create nasal sound. Only by using the feeling of smiling to lift your zygomatic muscles, and then singing with the feeling of inhaling when you gently smell the fragrance of flowers, will you feel that your voice is relaxed and no longer muffled.

2. Singing in a Speaking State

When pronouncing words, if you overemphasize methods such as opening your mouth, lowering your head and keeping it steady, and singing in a full voice, it will cause the facial and oropharyngeal muscles to become tense and the oropharynx to become too enlarged, and the sound produced will be dull and dark. More likely to cause nasal sounds. When we practice our voice or sing, we should speak to the audience in a pleasant manner, as if we were talking. This will relax the muscles, open the nasal cavity moderately, and the sound will flow out naturally.

3. Sound is concentrated in the front

For students with heavy nasal sounds, more attention should be paid to concentrating the sound forward, so that the sound hits the hard palate directly after coming out of the mouth, and is dragged out from between the eyebrows like a thread. Do not suppress your larynx in order to make your voice thick and full, and pull the sound back into the pharynx. Only by practicing in this way can you achieve a focused and brightly colored sound.

(IV) Closed-mouth sounds are the main part, and open-mouth sounds are the auxiliary part

When training your voice, you should practice closed-mouth sounds more often, because the sound of closed-mouth sounds is forward, has a bright timbre, and is easy to concentrate on. This will help you experience the feeling of reducing nasality. As long as you persevere and develop a certain feel for it, you will gradually master the correct and beautiful method of vocalization.

When practicing, you can choose to use more breathy vowels that come out of your mouth, such as a, o, i or ba, bo, bi, etc. When overcoming nasal sounds, it is best not to use or use less vowel exercises that start with nasal consonants.
