When I talk it sounds funny like I have a stuffed nose. I've taken speech lessons but nothing seems to work, I want to talk clearly and nicely. How can I fix this?

Sounds like you've tried a lot already. But perhaps try a theater group or class, and see if they have any advise about speech, projecting your voice etc?

Judging by the fact that you've had surgery to work on this, I'm guessing that your speech difficulties are caused by some sort of medical problem. That is, perhaps some of the body parts that are normally involved in speech are misplaced or not working properly. In this case, speech lessons might not be the appropriate solution. I can think of two things that you might try: (1) see an ear, nose and throat doctor for an examination and (2) have yourself evaluated by a speech pathologist, who may be able to do something for you.
Best wishes!

1) Read aloud a few pages every day.
2) Say the states and capitals aloud at least three times each week.
3) Go over the multiplication table aloud.
4) Say the alphabet aloud every day.
5) Stand before the mirror and speak words aloud.
Practice these exercises one month and you will notice a decided improvement. People will pay attention to what you say then.
Try it.

Maybe it is something to do with your nose or your physical make up.
Perhaps you could ask your doctor if there is some physical trait that is causing you to sound the way you do.

I had the same problem. Here's how I fixed it. Practice, practice, practice.
Toastmasters helped me a lot. Even though it was a little too critical
It may sound strange, but when I relax and let it come naturally, it is easier

You need to see an ENT specialist. (ears, nose, and throat) You may have some type of nasal obstruction causing the stuffed nose sound.....

It's not your speech problem, it's their hearing problem.
