You can reduce nasal noise in your voice by adjusting your tongue position.
The reference video, "How to Stop Nasal Voice - 3 Tips - YouTube," provides concrete ways to eliminate nasality:
Understanding Nasal Voice
Nasal voice, or nasality, often occurs when too much air passes through your nose while speaking. This happens when your soft palate doesn't completely block the nasal passages. The resulting sound can be perceived as overly nasal or 'whiny.'
Steps to Reduce Nasality
The video highlights three main actions to change the nasality of your voice:
- Consciously Lower Your Tongue:
- Action: Pay attention to where your tongue is while you talk.
- Solution: Get used to keeping your tongue in a lower position in your mouth. This helps direct the airflow more towards your mouth.
- Practice Speaking with Your Tongue Lowered:
- Action: Don't just lower your tongue momentarily; practice speaking with it in this new lower position.
- Solution: This repeated action helps establish a new speaking habit, reducing nasality over time.
Practical Tips
- Be Mindful: Pay attention to how you are speaking and the position of your tongue during speech.
- Consistent Practice: Like any skill, consistent practice is essential to get the desired results.
