    Spend some money and see a voice coach, or a singing coach/instructor to correct your voice.

    There is nothing more important than the amount of time you spend singing. If you have a natural talent for singing, all you have to do is just sing as much as possible. Sing along with the radio, TV, any music you hear. In case you can't do this without driving people crazy, find a place where you can practice. Get a karoake machine, or just sing along with CD's. I began singing and playing the guitar along with CD's and music videos, sang at church, sang at school, and after years of singing on a regular basis, I can hear the difference. I have old tapes of me singing and I was on key, buy my voice was weak. You have to build it up! A vocal coach can help you with techniques to help you breathe better. If you take breaths in the right places, you can hold notes longer.

    To improve the tone quality of your voice, you need to be doing warm-ups vocally that isolate the source of your voice having a nasal sound. There can be various reasons for your voice having a nasal tone quality. So, it would be best to be discussing that with you sometime when we are both online at the same time in order to determine what you are doing that is causing that kind of tone.

    Since you have mentioned basically, improving the tonal quality of your voice, then I would assume that you want to utilize your vocal instrument to be the best quality that it can be for the type of music that you want to sing. Is that correct? There are various types of singing styles that also have various types of techniques used in order to produce the sound. It would help to know what kind/type of singing that you want to do in order to help you in that regard.

    Some styles of singing, such as those that are done almost exclusively by singing into a microphone, don't necessarily require you to be utilizing your vocal instrument to it's fullest potential. However, because of the styles of some of those types of music, if a person were to be singing in such a way as to utilize their vocal instrument to it's fullest potential, then it would ruin the style in which the music is sung.

    Not everyone that you hear singing on Cd's or in other types of media necessarily really knows how to sing the way to utilize their vocal instrument to it's fullest potential. Please realize that when imitating others who you hear singing, that the way that they sing may not be the way that your own voice is meant to sound when singing. So, it isn't always the best idea to be imitating others that you hear on Cd's and other types of media. But, it does depend on what kind/type of music that you want to sing.

    There might be some confusion here as to what in the professional world of singing is meant by a vocal/voice coach and vocal/voice teacher. In the professional world of singing, a vocal/voice coach teaches you how to interpret the music. They are not necessarily teaching you how to utilize your vocal instrument to it's fullest potential and capacity. That is what a teacher of singing does. The term coach, is most often used in the world of professional opera, where the singers will have both a vocal coach and also a voice teacher.

    What kind/type (music style) of singing is it that you want to do?

    What is your gender?

    How old are you?

    Thank you!
