      First, his sound clearly isn't nasal. Second, to make the sound not nasal (if it were) opening his mouth more wouldn't solve the issue (but there is obviously none to be solved). Thirdly, I agree that here his voice sounds weirdly small (compared to other singers), but very beautiful and I am sure that the voice would be heard to the last row but I'm not sure and that's a guess based on this recording.

    If I could talk to this singer, I would just ask him to please sing from his heart. His singing lacks emotion/passion. To me, he sings this aria like a German lied. I heard him sing with Christian van Horn in a concert at Carnegie Hall. In that performance, he was also lacking passion.

    Что за заглубленный звук?
    Почему проблемы с дикцией?
