Are you striving to improve your singing voice and eliminate that nasal tone? At Vox Singing Academy, we understand that achieving a clear, resonant sound is essential for any singer. Nasal singing can detract from the overall quality of your voice, but with the right techniques and guidance, you can overcome this challenge. Here are the three most important tips to avoid a nasal singing tone, brought to you by the expert vocal coaches at Vox Singing Academy.
Proper breath control is fundamental to achieving a resonant, non-nasal sound. Many singers fall into the habit of shallow breathing, which can contribute to a nasal tone. Here’s how to master breath control and support:
A. Diaphragmatic Breathing:
Practice Deep Breathing: Focus on diaphragmatic breathing by inhaling deeply through your nose, allowing your abdomen to expand rather than your chest. This technique ensures that you have adequate breath support for singing.
Breathing Exercises: Incorporate breathing exercises into your daily practice. One effective exercise is to inhale deeply for four counts, hold for four counts, and exhale slowly for eight counts. This helps you control your breath and maintain consistent airflow.
B. Use Your Diaphragm:
Engage Your Core: When singing, engage your diaphragm and core muscles to support your voice. This helps prevent the strain on your vocal cords and reduces the likelihood of a nasal tone.
Consistent Practice: Regular practice of these techniques is essential. Over time, proper breath control will become second nature, leading to a more balanced and resonant sound.

Opening your throat and adjusting your resonance can significantly impact the quality of your voice. Nasal singing often results from improper placement and resonance. Follow these steps to achieve a more open and balanced sound:
A. Throat Relaxation:
Relax Your Throat: Tension in the throat can lead to a nasal sound. Practice relaxing your throat by yawning or performing gentle throat massages before singing.
Warm-Up Exercises: Incorporate vocal warm-up exercises that focus on opening the throat, such as humming or gentle vocal sirens. These exercises help to relax your vocal apparatus and prepare it for singing.
B. Resonance Placement:
Focus on Chest and Head Resonance: Instead of relying on nasal resonance, focus on directing your voice towards your chest and head. This can be achieved by practicing exercises that emphasize chest and head voice placement.
Practice with a Mirror: Sing in front of a mirror to observe your mouth and throat positions. Ensure that your mouth is open wide enough to allow sound to resonate freely.

A.Vowel Modification:
Modify Nasal Vowels: Certain vowels, like “ee” and “ay,” are more prone to sounding nasal. Practice modifying these vowels by slightly opening your mouth and adjusting your tongue placement.
Vowel Exercises: Perform exercises that focus on vowel placement, such as singing scales on different vowel sounds. Pay attention to how each vowel resonates and adjust accordingly.
B. Diction and Enunciation:
Clear Articulation: Ensure that your diction and enunciation are clear. Muffled or lazy articulation can contribute to a nasal tone. Practice singing with exaggerated enunciation to develop clarity in your speech.
Tongue Position: Be mindful of your tongue position. Keeping your tongue relaxed and away from the back of your throat can help prevent nasal resonance.
3 Tips To Avoid Singing Nasal
Achieving a clear, non-nasal singing tone is possible with the right techniques and consistent practice. By mastering proper breath control, opening your throat and adjusting your resonance, and correcting your vowel placement and articulation, you can eliminate nasal singing and enhance the overall quality of your voice.
