    Summary

    Summary

    Excessive nasality in singing can make the voice sound unnatural and should be avoided. To determine if one is singing nasally, they can pinch their nostrils while singing. If there’s no change in tone or vibration when pinching, it’s not nasal. If a vibration or change in tone occurs, then it is nasal. Focusing on producing sound more through the mouth than the nose can help fix this issue.

    Highlights

    • Nasal vs. Oral Sounds: Nasal sounds pass through the nose and include vowels; oral sounds don’t.
    • Soft Palate Control: Lifting or lowering it determines nasality.

    Key Takeaways

    • Use the nose-pinch exercise to identify and work on nasal issues in singing.
    • Embrace some natural nasality but avoid overdoing it.
