Like they said in Imagine Me and You, imagine your mouth is a big concert hall, fill it with air and sing from the throat, not the mouth.

Most nasal production comes from under-use of the soft palate ( that's the soft, squishy part of the roof of your mouth at the back). When you next start to yawn, you can feel how that area stretches out and firms up. This action can be generated by will power as well, so, after you finish yawning, go stand in front of the mirror and watch how that happens. Get used to that feeling of having a "high" soft palate. Then try singing with your palate held high. This will effectively seal off the passageway from the mouth into the nose, and naturally prevent a nasal sound. Now get used to the feeling of having the sound swirl around only in your mouth and not in your nose at all.
As some other singers have answered, try experimenting with all the vowel sounds, remembering to keep the soft palate high. the long i vowel will probably be the hardest to keep in place, so start with the lax vowels, ooo, oh, aw, uh, ah ( my keyboard doesn't do the International Phonetic Alphabet, so I'm giving you the sounds) before going on to eh, a, ay, eye, and eee.
Keep a good portion of your attention for your tongue.
To make vowels properly, we need the tongue to make different shapes in our mouth. If your tongue gets tight, your vowel is probably not going to sound free and easy either, so try and train your tongue to lie down and go to sleep, or at least be a friend, not a foe.
go and get help from a good singing teacher. Be picky, because you only have one voice. No new strings, no new lacquer job, no new picks here. Use your common sense: if the chemistry doesn't feel right, or if there are too many unanswered questions from the potential teacher,then he/she is perhaps not the best one for you.
Best wishes, and keep on singing!

Practice opening your throat, pushing from the diaphram, not the lungs.
Ab excersizes strengthen diaphram muscles. Strong diaphram muscles better control air volume being pushed upward and through the throat. Practice will help get the air past the nasal or sinis cavity and out through the mouth rather than the sinus cavity.
And if after all that practice... you still sound nasal, don't despair. Barbara Striesand is a billionaire from singing though her nose.
Make your sound your own. Make the music that comes out of you perfect and with personality, and people will buy it, no matter where it comes from.

In the first place please consult a Ear, Nose & Throat specialist and also consult a speech therapist.
In the meantime, please close the nasals. Please close your mouth to that extent that you will be whistling. Through this wistling opening breath in and close the mouth. Now release the breath through the nose. To begin with please do this only 1 or 2 minutes. Do this for 7 days only. Then test your voice. You will have a scintilating voice.

Practice not singing thru your nose. Use your vowels, a,e,i,o,u. and the more you practice the better it will get. Practice singing a then e then i then o then u. but make u sound more like ew.

try to open the back of your mouth more. people who have nasaly voices tend to hold their tongue closer to the top of the mouth. just remember, open the back of the mouth and stand erect with weight on both feet. i think you'll do just fine!

Bring your voice up from your stomach and lunges and throw it out your throat.
