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.
sing using your diaphram, not your nose

The best way to do this, is to switch where you breath from. When you take in a breath to sing, feel your stomach, if your stomach expands, that means you are breathing from your diaphram. If you feel your shoulders rise when you breath in, you aren’t breathing properly for singing.
A way that I learned not to sing nasally is to practice saying lyrics before singing them. Then try to sing more like you talk. This will make your breathing more natural. Instead of trying to have that control in your head, let your singing be more loose and fluid like your breath.
Hope that helps!
