Fixing a Nasal Singing/Speaking Voice 

Shared this on Instagram (@EricArceneaux), and many of you have requested repeatedly that I also repost these IGTV vertical vids here on RU-vid as well. So I’ll keep posting these in between the full-production lesson vids.

I have always struggled with how I can make my voice sound fuller and think just helped.... Thanks

Dude i was literally JUST trying to figure out what was going on my voice. Been out of practice for a while. You legit read my mind. thank god im subscribed to you its so helpful (also i love you hi!!!)

I am a specech pathology student, and when I heard this issue in my voice, I assumed it was an issue with velar closure, so when this video appeared on my page I was so happy! I am excited to try this in the morning because the way you described the breathing was really easy for me to understand, and I think it is going to really help! Thank you!

This is literally my number one problem when I’m singing, and you’re literally the best person to go to for singing advice. Thank you so much 💞

I can totally relate to what you’re saying about your speaking voice. I had to have voice therapy for that same issue four years ago. Bad vocal cord spasms. When I finally heard my “true” speaking voice, I was blown. I need to get back in lessons.

You are literally the only person online who explain the berating and singing omg!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was so helpful. I have always struggled with tone. I am a girl with a lower voice and I struggled with low and high notes. I always felt my range was just small but this video really helped me. Making my voice more full. Reach lower and higher notes that I struggled with so much before. Thanks!

LITERALLY was just realizing this is how I sound when I sing high notes and was coming here to figure out what I need to do

Dude, i've just started singing properly and just started watching your videos. Wanted to say you're a great teacher. These explanations are awesome and really easy to follow! Thanks!

Thanks for taking your free time between classes to produce this video, I just realised how much my voice was nasal and how much it was affecting me... Not only singing, but my singing/speaking self-esteem. I'll follow your lessons daily.

Again … amazing video. You are really good at teaching and explaining the mechanics. Best vocal teaching I’ve come across! 🙏

Your comments on your speaking voice: truth there. Don’t know if you ever heard of german countertenor Andreas Scholl. He has discussed how his own baritone speaking voice is so different than his singing voice, which gets way up there. My own speaking voice is very low as well, and I often equated that with my vocal range until I found your vids, which helped me find my support. I will never be a 1st soprano but my upper range has expanded about 2 whole steps, which has been a real game changer in gigging. 👍

Loved this video. I have baby voice. It actually became that way when I turned 18 decades ago. My grandmother reminds me to speak from my "stomach" and not my chest and even lower my voice a little to have more authority. Hopefully, this helps because I would love to do voice over acting!

The “lean on your solar plexus” was the key for me here, thank you man!

This amazing skills to learn. I have to exercise this skill thanks

Wow very resourceful. Yeah it's a breath control issue. An open sound is better and commands more presence.

Ericarceneaux my man, u also have aaproach vocal lessons i called old vintage but goodies. I had purchased back in 2009 and it still works please add that to a go too for those havent known or request material

Just want to say thank you for your videos. They have helped me a lot not just for my singing voice but also my speaking voice. 💪🎉❤

FINALLY!! I need help with nasal sounds

Very informative ❤️✨ thanks

More than 12 steps, but it works better than the other AA.

Very attractive 😌great speaking voice

Thank you sir for all the helpful tips, you're helping out many people through your videos God bless you 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much for posting this I sounds like I have a stuffy nose or I'm singing from another room it was so bad.

This is always my biggest struggle. My voice is higher placed than most men I know, but I also tend to lean into it too much, which makes my high voice sound very boyish and it wears me out when speaking. Then when I go to sing, I’m already tired, so it really limits me. I used to be easily able to access the sixth octave in head voice, then that chipmunky voice kicked in around 20-21 and I lost around a fifth of the high end of my voice. I definitely need to remind myself to bring support into my speaking so I’m not always vocally tired lol

Hi Eric! First of all, thank you for your videos! They're amazing!!! I just have a little question...I always thought that breathing exercises for singing should be made with your mouth and not your nose...what do you think about this?

Very informative. Thank you for sharing.

Erik I just wanted to say i find your videos very helpful, your videos is the only videos that I think can help me, I'm 14 and my dream is to become a singer if you haven't could you please do a video to help with vibrato, I think my name problem is strengthening the voice and vibrato I can't sing high notes and not even a bit of vibrato

Thank you Eric! You are a real inspiration!

Really enjoy your videos Eric. How do I find my voice type? Sorry if you’ve already created a video - I couldn’t see which one it could be. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world ❤️ From New Zealand :)

Yes! Absolutely! And if you sing in head voice while pushing against something this will open up the ribcage. However, this doesn't work if you sing with compression. At least not for me. Perhaps you have some tips. Thank you for your help in maintaining my voice😊

Aaand here we are again all roads let back to you 😂😂 you were my first contact and I feel im having some of those issues you talked about with the voice type. How can I get personal coaching?

Great content again thank you. Yes , my body is tired trying to keep this form. But i guess practice makes permanent. under stress i tend to slip back into old habits sometimes but after working on my voice with your guidance, its definitely a lot healthier. So thank you again for sharing your wisdom :)

This had been One major problem for me too. Somebody needa send this to Ray J too, no shade fr.

this helped me so much,thank you

Just what I was looking for and needed!

wait did you just change my life ?

You sing and teach do well!!!

Thank you for your lessons I have had 2 open heart surgeries and one heart procedure to replace my valve because of intubation my vocal chords have been damaged. I am in choir and I am always looking for ways to strengthen my voice.

Found my guy right here! Thank you!

Hey man I no you're not a doctor but can u make a video of dos and don't pertaining to diet and how it affects vocal cord.

Wow thank you for this. This makes so much sense

Thanks buddy

Hello. I am deaf in my right ear. Do you have any recommendations for exercises to improve my ability to recognize pitch? Thank you.

Thank you I finally find the missin puzzle to my breathing

Good morning Eric I really want to thank you for your teaching they're really helpful thanks a lot. However, I need your help one of the challenges I'm having which is more like a barrier to my singing carrier is singing and going off the key pls help me out how do I sing and stay on the same key till the song ends? I'm from Nigeria Becky by name. Thanks

Amazing video Eric, can you please do a video about mix voice. I love to sing Bruno Mars songs but I can't cuz all of his songs are in the mix register. Please please.

thanks for the information

Thanks this video really helped me

So if I got this right, in a nutshell, focus on the cobra expansion by getting the air to the ribs toward the sides [obliques] which is gonna put air in all parts of the core [Front, side, back] even the lungs?

you look great!!

Thank you for sharing this 🙏❤

Bro that really helped me your amazing

🤍🤍🤍Great vid!

What is the difference between leaning on your solar plexus and "pushing" out upper stomach?

oh hi alvin

❤️ Thank you

Makes sense, but all current male pop singers sound like this to me including Justin Bieber and Jason Timberlake ( Nick Jonas, etc,) I thought it was “in” to sound like that now?

Amazing.❤️

man i just wanna learn how to sing. im a low baritone atm who is untrained and need proper study on my voice. i wanna make pop music and rap and i am afraid my voice will never be able to sing anything above d4. i can hit a4 but anything from e4-to a4 i am not used to. i usually speak very low

I never thought chipmunks had nasal voices. They're high pitched. I have a nasal voice but it's in the middle and draining to hear.

Hello Eric could you please help me how to know my voice type?

Am i supposed to only feel vibration behind the adams apple?

All i see is this is just for singing. how long would it take me to fix nasally speaking

Hi Eric, I wonder if Amy Winehouse’s vocal nasal too? Her voice sounds good to me, so I’m confused...

Do you have Whistle voice? do you think it is important? I have tried to develop it, but i can't u.u Im almost giving up on whistle.

💯😎

Holy crap my voice and breathing are horrible. I tend to get so breathy when talking with my normal voice so I tend to exaggerate and put on a fake voice making my vocal cords take a beating. My breathing is so bad I tend to get so self conscious and in turn causes shallow breathing which then induces anxiety which then causes voice cracks.

can minor thyroids affect the vocal chords?

Does this have anything to do with resonance disorder?

Lol so basically dknt do the babyface vc lolol

I love your videos. I feel like there’s something wrong with my voice, but I don’t know what it is. I have a video posted of me singing on my channel. Could you please help me!!!

How tall are you?
