When ever I sing I sound nasally. The only vowels I don't sound nasally on are AH & OO. On EH, EE, and OH I do. I don't know how to make it stop.

open up your throat. try a fake coughing fit, right before you sing. (but not too hard) practice singing while holding your nose.

Relax your jaw and don't spread your lips too wide, especially on EE. Practice switching between AH and EE by moving only your tongue. Also keep your tongue relaxed; the only time you should be pushing it up is on EE.
Tongue stretch (it looks goofy but works!): get something long and thin, like a chopstick or skinny pencil. Lift up your tongue and hold the stick across your lower teeth. Then push down on it with your tongue and tuck the tip of the tongue behind the front lower teeth (you have to pull your lips back so you don't pinch them). At this point you should be able to hold the stick just with your tongue. Now do some vocalizing on AH without moving your tongue. Take out the stick and you should find that your tongue is much more relaxed, especially way in the back.

This is actually a good thing. Means you're not overusing your vocal chords. I've studied Opera for 12 years and I can tell you, having your voice up in your nasal cavities is good... Just try to pen your mouth a little more. Also, you have to realise that your voice sounds different to you than what it may sound to someone else. You are inside yourself so the effect is very different. Get some proper vocal training if you want to do this for a living.

It helps to drop your jaw and open your throat. Also - use the air from your diaphram - not your throat. Nothing worse than a nasally sounding singing voice - in my opinion.

Try to relax more when you're singing.
Visualize that everything is opening up--including your nasal cavity. And sing as if you're telling a story or expressing an emotion. Not as if you're a pop star.
And finally, you want to sing with your whole body. Not just with your head.

it is a normal, if one sings like a drain or nasal.
singing is based on the human´s nature talent.
Please do not force it, when someone has no talent on it.
I will never be a good singer, cause I know I´m not a vocalist, but a pianist. that is different

Practice breathing from your diaphragm and not your chest. In other words, when you breath only your belly should rise, not your chest. That's how most singers are trained; hope that helps.

just like they said you need to relax, take deep breaths before singing and make your throat feel open
