How do you stop singing through your-nose?

Answer 1

The problem of a nasal voice can be corrected with proper breathing exercises. You are not getting enough air in your lungs to support the vocal chords, so to compensate you try to let your sinuses do the work of your lungs.

Try this simple exercise. With one hand on your chest and the other on your tummy, inhale. Now exhale, and feel that your bottom hand doesn't move much. Next, repeat the exercise, but try to make the bottom hand move out with your inhalation. You will find that you are not using your lungs to their full capacity..oh and exhale now.

With this exercise, as you exhale sing one note in your range. Try to make the note last for two minutes. As you near the end of the second minute, you will notice that you are not using your lungs any more, but you are starting to get nasally again.

The vocal cords are not in your nose but in your throat, so concentrate on getting those lungs pumping air across the vocal cords. With a little practice breathing like this, you will find that your voice improves and your range might too. Visualize all that air rushing up through your throat. Recording your voice during this exercise will show you the difference in the quality of the sound.

Should this simple exercise not help, it might pay to get a voice coach to help you overcome this problem. The resonance of the sung voice does include the nose and the sinus passages and is more pronounced in higher pitched notes. This resonance adds to the richness of the sound so you do not want to eliminate it, but want a balance.

The sound generated when singing originates from the vibration of the vocal cords in your throat, but the more you can get resonance from other cavities, such as your chest, mouth and sinus, the richer the sound will be. If you are mainly resonating through your nose rather than your mouth, you are restricting the size of the cavity available, and the sound will be thinner in quality. Resonance in voice means the sound waves are bouncing in these cavities in a way that reinforces them and setting up a stronger pattern because of this. It is not something you can control easily like you can move your finger, for two reasons: * You cannot see the changes * The changes are difficult to feel as they are very small and in areas that we do not normally consciously control. For this reason, experimenting and practicing are important. Try the exercise above and also make sure that you are relaxing as you sing. Tension in the head and neck are not good for singing, and restrict the passageways. Think of all the strength in the sound as coming from your diaphragm. This is the muscle that controls breathing and it is at the bottom of your chest, between it and your abdomen.

Your upper body needs to be relaxed to resonate fully. Let your shoulders drop. Do not raise them as you breathe in. Let your jaw drop in a relaxed way so that you our mouth is well opened. Sigh and swallow and feel how after this your throat is relaxed. Relax your tongue. This is very hard to do, but very important, so at first do not make different sounds, because this requires your tongue to move to shape them.

Picture your self as an big Opera singer making a big sound from deep inside you, that wells up and flows out without the neck and head having to work. Have fun with this image and the sounds you make, but keep the upper body relaxed.

Answer 2

Lift the back of your head, push the bottom of your jaw forward so you really feel how it is to breathe through your throat, keep a straight back, put your jaw into normal position and sing out! Make sure that your head stays lifted, once you get the feeling you'll automatically sing that way. (:
