I really cannot sing but, I try to any way and someone told me I sing through my nose how do i stop this?

Answer 1

Practice breathing techniques. Go to your local library or check the Internet if you don't know them. Also, try singing an octave lower. Make sure you take a breath before each set of lyrics.

Everyone can sing, but not everyone can sing professionally. It really depends on what you intend to do with your singing. Sing into a recording device and don't listen to the playback until the next morning. Listen with an open mind. That will tell you exactly how you need to improve.

Answer 2

If you can `hear' a tune, recognise a song or follow a melody then you CAN sing! Only a very small percentage of people really can't sing, mainly those with hearing difficulties or are tone deaf. Too many people try to sing along to Cd's etc, not realising they are attempting to sing in the musical key of another person, first find the key best for your voice, not some Else's and you'll be singing great! Cilla Black made a fortune singing through her nose, so why worry.

Answer 3

Hi friend,
Try to avoid others criticism, the persons like U should concentrate what are doing, don't bother about others. My suggestion is use lesser humming an Sing by using pronouncing words. Because while we make humming it's seeming like singing through nose. Find out the sound difference between your talking and singing, if you feel so, just consult a ENT sepcialist. That's all. Thank you. Good bye, Take care.

Your first question is whether or not you sing through your nose or if it just sounds like you do. To find out, sing a long straight tone that is comfortably in the middle of your range. While singing it, pinch your nose closed. Does the sound change? Try this on long straight tones as you go higher and as you go lower. Do you notice a change on all of the notes? If you hear a change on any of the notes (or find that you can't even sing) then yes, you are singing through your nose. To fix this you have two options: 1) find a voice teacher than can listen to you sing, determine what you're doing, and help you change what you're doing; or 2) learn to sing while you pinch your nose so that you kick the bad habit.

A good singer will not hear any change when they pinch their nose. However, singing through your nose isn't such a bad thing. I make some of my students do it in order to kick other bad habits - so trust me - as long as it is not a physiological problem - you can change it.

If you don't hear a change when you pinch your nose, then a few things may be going on. 1) you might just have a nasal sound to your voice; 2) you might have a sinus issue like infection or polyps; 3) you might be "placing" the voice too high in the mask; 4) you might have really big sinuses and your voice resonates strongly giving you a nasal sound.

Keep in mind that what one person thinks is nasaly another person finds to be perfectly acceptable. If you want to know what you really sound like, record yourself and listen. That's the only realy way to determine what you sound like. If you can't record yourself, place your finger tips behind your ears and pull them gently towards the front of your head until they are bending forward. Then curve your hands around your face so that your wrists are right about where the corners of your mouth are located. Make sure your hands don't just rest on your face, because you're making a tunnel for the sound of your voice. Now sing. What you hear is a close approximation of what others hear. Is it nasal?

If you don't like the sound of your voice go find a good voice teacher. They should be able to get rid of a correctable nasal sound in about 6 months. If yours is not correctable, just keep in mind that Fran Dresher made a career out of her voice. :)

Answer 5

Stop listening to modern pop music - it's a bad habit you've picked up (if you want a really good example of what I mean, Ronan Keating from Westlife is the worst offender). Concentrate on the breath coming from somewhere round your belly button. Open your throat and try warming up by singing forward vowels sounds ("oo" - this is the most difficult sound to sing through your nose) in a downward scale and then try other sounds like "aah".

Answer 6

Don't stick your neck out when youre singing and be sure to sing from the diaphragm, make sure you cant fell the notes in your person but can only hear them, been trying to get rid of the same thing myself so give it a bash... try to alleviate all pressures that you feel in your singing and you should end up with a crisp note,
some of these answers are great, others text book bologney, sing what you feel straight from your gutters and forget about it...

Answer 7

I used to sing through my nose. I took lessons and my teacher was able to teach me not to. But it took a LOT of practice. But here's how she did it. When you're singing, put your index and your middle finger on the bridge of your nose like you about to pinch it because of a nose bleed. Now sing. Feel your nose buzzing? If so, you're are definitely singing through your nose. Practice trying to stop the buzzing by opening the inside of your mouth. Try lifting the pallet in the back of your mouth. Eventually you will be able to sing to where the only times that your nose should buzz when you sing words with the letters m, n, and z. Just practice with your fingers on your nose, trying to keep your nose from buzzing except when singing words with m's, n's, and z's, and you should do just fine. Hope this helped.

P.S. Don't pinch your nose, just have your fingers there to be able to feel the buzzing. You're fingers should just be resting on the bridge of you nose.

Answer 8

Actually you could sing with your Nose if your Singing a High note and you actually have to take deep breaths before continuing to sing.

Answer 9

I know that in band we had to breathe from our stomachs. We would take deep breathes every 8 measures and let the air come out completely from our abdomen. I don't know if this will help you but no ham in trying.
Just take a deep breath then take another breath on top of that one until you feel you stomach tighten. Hold it for about 3 seconds and let the lyrics and air out.
