Is it possible change my nasal voice into a normal one?!


Question: Yes, try voice therapy. Often nasal intonation is habituated and open laryngeal/pharyngeal phonation that focuses on strengthening the pharyngeal flap will improve your voice dramatically. If the problem is not a lazy flap, but a physiologically incompetent flap (the covering that seperates your oral and nasal cavities is too short or thin) there are surgeries that can give you closure and thus alter your vocal output.
Edit: If you are sincere about wanting to change your voice visit an ENT that has a staff Speech Language Pathologist. Together they can make the determination whether your problem is behavioural or physiological and will let you know your best options for improvement. There are only three phonemes in the english language that should be made with any nasality or nasal emission. They are m,n and ng. If you put your finger in front of your nose you will feel air transmission when you make these speech sounds. You should not feel any air when you make any other speech sounds from your nose because your pharyngeal flap (at the top of your throat and behind your uvula should automatically raise and fill the cavity that closes your mouth and nose cavities.) Try that simple test first. Good luck. Feel free to email me with any questions. There are further practice materials in a very good book called "Change Your Voice, Change Your Life". I have employed several of these techniques with feedback in successfully improving voices in voice therapy.

See a speach therapist and they should be able to help you change the way you speak now.

Sorry Ray...not everybody loves Raymond.

talk to a choral director. They know ALL about that stuff.

You probably need a speech therapist.

why would you want to do that?
i'm sure your voice is quite alright.

i always wondered if people with nasal voices realized they had that voice.
and if they wanted to change it.

good luck.
a speech therapist would probably be your best bet for changing it.

Yep, you can have surgery to open up your sinuses more. Should help you breathe through your nose easier, and possibly even help with your sleep.

I once caught a thing on oprah about changing your voice. The person would hum and then the 'expert' would push on their stomach and it would change their voice so it didn't sound underdeveloped and make it what it should be or something odd like that.
Wish I could remember how. I hate my voice.

If you concentrate on making your voice sound less nasally, then you might be able to control it. Some people have naturally nasally voices, its not necessarily a bad thing. If you are talking about singing, then try concentrating about singing from your diaphragm. My singing teacher told me to use my "head" voice instead of my throat and nose voice

hope it helped a little!!
