How can I make my voice less nasally EQ?
The standard technique for identifying the offending frequency range is simply to set up a narrow-band EQ boost and sweep it across the frequencies until you find the spot where the nasal ‘honk’ is most pronounced. You can then place an EQ cut at this frequency, which is likely to be in the 800Hz to 1.5kHz range.
Why are my vocals nasally?
The irritating nasal sound, or nasality, in some singing voices is a result of a soft palate which is not lifted properly. Your soft palate is the soft tissue on the roof of your mouth. If the sound does change, you likely have a nasal sound. Seeing your soft palate in action helps you visualize it working correctly.
Can you fix a nasally voice?

What’s the best way to EQ Your Voice?

When adjusting values for a voice, the default setting of 2 is a good choice. The easiest way to change a setting is grab the white dot in the frequency display and drag it. Men: Add 3-5 dB around 180 – 200 Hz. Women: Add 3-5 dB around 400 Hz. Don’t add too much.
What’s the best frequency to EQ your vocals?
The goal is to stop all piercing frequencies that may slip through and to make room for cymbals in the mix. For most vocalists, around 4 kHz to 5 kHz is where “presence” resides, which adds a sense of firmness or solidness to the vocals. This makes the words being sung or spoken more intelligible and easier to understand.
