cuz when i sing, it sounds like something’s clogging my nose, sort of. how do i make it NOT sound like that?
These people who say sing from your diaphragm don’t know what they’re talking about. The diaphragm has nothing to do with singing. It’s simply a muscle that moves up and down as you breathe. You cannot control it.
If you think that you sound nasal – try making your throat feel open as if you were about to swallow a mouthfull of water. Also, you should be sure that you’re taking deep breaths, and allowing them to come out as a sigh. That is what it should feel like to breathe properly when you sing. It may take a few weeks to train your muscles to do this, but after you do, it will be effortless.
