Question:

How do I not sing thru my nose?

When I reach for high notes I start singing all nasally. I know I need to let it resonate through my chest and mouth, and to breathe from the diaphram...but I have trouble doing that. Can someone explain it better, or offer tips?
Thanks!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Your soft palate has to be raised. Try to yawn and feel the back portion of the top of your mouth lift when you do this. The position this is right before you complete the yawn is where it needs to be when you are singing, then you will not sound nasal. This is easier said than done, especially when someone is just giving you written advice, but give it a whirl and see what happens.
