I have asthma and allergies. It drives me mad cause my voice will just randomly change through out the day. I recently started as a walk on for a Disney Plus series and while I wasn’t speaking on it, it started to terrify me. My voice kept straining and going hoarse and just getting more hoarse while straining as I spoke. Even if I went ages without speaking. There were flowers near the set, lilies which I’ve been told are high for pollen. Buts one times it just happens randomly and I hate it! I’m aware of it happening and I start sounding like a boy who’s voice is breaking. For an aspiring actress I’d rather not have the issue that could break my career :(
Elisa -I am just starting a voice over career and I was told on feedback that there's some nasally issues and need to overcome...been watching vocal coaches as I can't afford one I must say Thank u so much and love your video as you are the first one who made me so aware on this -Ng and hah vibration...

Hey Max - Happy to shoot a video on this for you. I will do this on Friday as a casual live on TH-cam... stay tuned and make sure you are subscribed to get notified!
It would be great if you shared a video about how to fix the issue with breathing. I also got a surgery for a deviated septum that didn't help at all and my voice is nasaly. Thanks.

Hi Guido, good question thank you. I have several videos on my channel that include exercises that will improve awareness and reduction of nasal sounds, please see: th-cam.com/video/TPQdTetaiic/w-d-xo.html and my other videos and let me know if they are helpful to you :) Elisa
Thank you so much for this video , I was told in school in that you have a nasal voice and that made me so conscious about it and thanks to your test I now know for myself that n and m are nasal sound and hence I do not have a nasal voice it's normal
Mam I think my voice is good while speaking but later on listening it in by recording. This sound doesn't satisfy me. I feel very bad about it.This video is very great and I watch your all video.
Yeah it sounds great in my mind but when I record it and relisten it sounds nasal people also make fun of my sound even my teacher at school makes fun of it.
This is the second video of yours I've watched and I really like your friendly, informative style! What does it mean when a person can't feel the nose vibrations for any sounds at all? I tried both sides of my nose and didn't feel anything at all. Though, considering my nose is almost constantly clogged year-round, I'd be surprised if air was going in or out at any given time!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoy them. You need to fix your breathing issues, did you find this video of mine? th-cam.com/video/lkDsOfC6_Ew/w-d-xo.html if you search my channel you should find many that will help your issues. 😀💞 Elisa
When I like hold my nose (not with my fingers but inside my nose like not breathing through it and closing it up) then I can’t feel the vibrating… but aren’t I still using my nose
This is the great video I found on youtube so far. I am 29 years old, and have hypernasality. The air escapes through my nose when I say the letters 's', 'c', 'x', and 'z', and I cannot say these letters at all with my nose closed. Can this be treated at this age?
Hi Nandini, try these 2 video's and do the exercises contained in them, they should help. Let me know how you go. Elisa th-cam.com/video/RyuuA6aiQfQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/TPQdTetaiic/w-d-xo.html
Your content is really interesting. Just stumbled on it by chance. As a professional film producer I spotted something odd: Your makeup has a slight yellow tint going on. Especially when comparing to your natural skin tone as can be seen when looking at your hands and neck. Either the LED lighting of your studio has a bit of a green tint that needs to be corrected with a slight magenta filter or you should try out other makeup brands or shades.
The question I have that I'd be really curious to know the answer to- if people have a blocked up nose sound, it means that certain sounds have to let air through the nose somewhat. But do I understand correctly that vowels and plosive consonants, for example, should not have any air/sound coming through the nose in order to have a clear voice? If so, the question of singing which is also affected by all these happenings... Can we modify levels of nasality? Aka not just have soft palate fully closed or open, but partially? If not, how do people get only a little bit of so called nasal resonance in singing ?
Thanks for your video...I am a myasthenia gravis patient and has problems with muscles in pharynx and has nasality in my talk ..can you help me with useful exercise to manage that and strength my muscles
Wow. You are clever! As a R sound is not nasal at all. Practice all non nasal sounds with your nose closed so you learn to blow air out of your mouth only for the correct sound.
Madam i am having a nasally voice since my childhood what should i do? Should i visit the doctor?also my voice is not clear which doctor should I visit i guess ent doctor also my age is only 17 yearz old
HI Shahroz - A nasal voice is usually just some bad habits that you have adopted, unless its a true pathological problem caused by nasal polyps or adenoids. You will need to go to an ENT to get it checked out for sure.
I have a septoplasty and rhinoplasty 3 yrs before but also have ahyponasal voice problem. How did u fix ur voice after surgery? Can i be able to do so?
I am a cleft platE patient 25 years old.. I have a hypernasal prob.what cAn i do .. According to Doctor mY first surgery has been successful but still i haVe a hypernasal prob..No oNe understands when i am talking ..

My older sister still sounds nasal even tho she tried everything even if she’s doing things right and blowing air from her mouth on the oral notes Do you think she just natural has a nasal tone ? And how can we make it sound good while singing?
Keep working on open vowel sounds.. and scales while holding the nose so the air has to stay coming out of the mouth. Start each sound with an H sound to encourage blowing air....
The live recording I did should have helped... since so many people have this issue, I may go over this again this week LIVE - make sure you hit the bell for ALL notifications
Oh dear. I want you to know this - Lauren it’s not a given or something that nature gave you. ( unless there is pathology causing either) the Lisp usually gets corrected with speech therapy at a young age and would never be a problem again if corrected early. However if your parents didn’t do that - then you can always get help and correct it now. It’s never too late. It’s simply tongue placement and habit. The nasality is similar. It’s something you have picked up from either being sick a lot ( like me) or from culture and conditioning. Perhaps one of your parents speak with a nasal tone too ? This is an easy fix with voice coaching. I did it too. Breathing issues can cause nasality. But you can minimise it when you know how. Have faith. !
Yes still slightly from allergies, asthma and years of sinus issues. Some days its better than others. But taking into consideration I could not breathe out of my nose AT ALL for about the first 26 years of my life.. its a HUGE improvement!
Thank you Red - it is sometimes a bit blocked up due to the inherited breathing issues I need to manage constantly. But surely SO much better than it was.
Oh boy... I am sorry I missed this comment last year. I wish I could help, but I have never heard of that issue at all. Using your articulation really clearly may help a little... I am sure you will find help somewhere.. can you go to an ENT for help?

I don't know why people keep doing this, but "nasally voice" is incorrect, "nasally" is an adverb, it's "nasal voice"...
