Speech Exercises for Nasal Voice
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2017
- This week I give you three easy and fun exercises to strengthen up your soft palate so that your voice sounds less nasal. This can be a problem for people after stroke, brain injury, other neurological disease, and cleft palate.
EDIT: pinching off the nasal passages creates a hypernasal voice, not hypernasal. Hypernasal speech sounds more like air is escaping during speaking.

LMAOO
My friends say I sound like a printer
Lol, mine friend said that i sound like ive swallow a napkin
Better than looking like one
I have one too! And I'm Yorkshire! Double the fuckery.
When I try speaking right it sounds husky and seductive but rest of the time I sound terrible lol 🤷🏻♀️💥🔫
voiceprinter go brrrr
😂😂😂😂n me voice is like a parrot 🐦
I had no idea your soft pallet was meant to close off to your nasal passage when speaking. This feels like an entirely new way to talk for me... the diagram showing it was just a massive lightbulb moment. Mind blown.
Neither did I. However, when I do this I actually sound more congested/nasal ;p But if I *don't* then i've got quite some air leaking out whe speaking prolonged consonants
Wow it's crazy you guys never learned this and now sound like this😂
@@ninobrown6479 when did you learn this? I’m genuinely curious at what point in my life did I miss this.

I don't understand! when I close my nose and talk my voice doesn't change that's mean I have no naselty but when I record it it sound a bit nasly or lazy and sleepy 😕
Hello,
You may have something going on, there should be a difference in resonance when you close your nose. An ENT may be able to help figure out what is going on anatomically.
Thanks

Not your microphone, you have something that I have called hypo nasality that means that not enough air is coming out of your nose to form resonance issues.
Alright, did you notice this before (years before now)?
@@matthewpalm7484 and what to do with it?
Omg what you explained makes so much sense. My speech is nasally and ironically whenever I vomit it also comes out of my nose! I hope this helps. Thank you!!
I appreciate this video a lot. I recently started receiving speech therapy at 36 years old in South Korea following a Muscle Tension Dysphonia diagnosis. The speech therapist has been diligent and putting as much effort as I have however, his English is about as good as my Korean is (I'm an English speaking American) so it has been a struggle to fully comprehend some of what he has been attempting to communicate.
I was born with cleft palate. I get made fun of because of it. I even got speech therapy all my life, although it didn’t work at all. But this… I can feel my palate actually touching/closed when doing the exercises. I keep thinking to myself that I need surgery even though I’ve had it a couple times, but maybe this might help if I constantly do this. Thank you, I’m 100% doing these every day so it can improve my voice
Any progress??? Please tell me
@@AnnuKumari-sx2hj I’m ngl I like forget to do it sometimes 😭 I gotta remember to do it on the daily
video starts after 2:45
Girl thank you!
AwanZada TV thank you man. Too many of these people ramble on forever before getting to the point.
Well, before 2:45 she explained who has what type of disorder or is it by birth or any accident, and that some by birth !
Not all hero wears cape sometimes they just simply comment on youtube
Thank you so much
Thanks. I am also Speech and language therapist. But I m fresh graduate. I had a voice problem patient who has nasal voice. Tnx for a nice video.
Thank you for sharing! Super helpful.
Very interesting! I am going to try this right away.
As soon as you said food and drink it became all too clear this has been what I'm dealing with. Appreciate the help!
. It is great for me to reach your knowledge. I’m glad that you are updating useful exercises. Thank you.
Thank you!
that humm exercise is gold! I will definitely use it with my Chinese students struggling to pronounce 'l'!
Thank u so much . It was so helpful
you solved years of my problem. thank you!
Did you have this problem too
Thanks for your educational videos. Can you suggest exercises/solutions for people with hyponasality?
i've finally learned how to make a nasal sound thanks to this beautiful witch woman
Can i ask how you achieve this? how you did it?
I didn’t realise why I was so mesmerised by this video then I realised … the hat 🤩
same 🤩
Thank you very much for this video! I really notice my voice is to nasal. Thanks to your video I now feel more clearly the nasal cavity being open or close :)
Thanks for the video but how many times a day do you do these exercises and how long for each one?
Very useful thank you
Thank you!
How long are we supposed to do this exercises?
thank you!
Great great things to learn ! Ty so much !
Thankk u for this vid, I have hypernasality & hopefully, this can help my voice get clearer on my recitation on Monday:DDD
Great tips
You are right!
Thankyou
I found the first one very effective in my case..... Thanks for the video
Does it work ?
thank you wizard!
Very helpful thank you☺
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
@SierraSpeech how often and for how long are those types of exercises?
Hello. I have been deaf in my right ear since I was five years old. In addition, I have bad allergies and asthma. Now that I am 57, someone recently pointed out to me that I sounded a bit nasally in my UA-cam videos. I used to go to a speech therapist in elementary school, but I can't remember the exercises. I will try these three exercises instead. Thank you.
I feel like another cause of a nasally voice is mouth breathing. There has been a ton of studies done on mouth breathing and how it messes up your skull/jaw/chin development and physical structure, how it ruins your posture, it leads to development of snoring and sleep apnea, and is overall bad for humans because that's not how we evolved. We evolved to breathe through our noses. So I feel like if mouth breathing can do all that,, and physically change your skeleton, then then it is probably able to cause a underdeveloped or weak soft palette and therefore cause a nasally voice.
Story of my life :/
yeah but when you have year round allergies and literally CANT breath through more than half of a nostril...
yes i realize you filmed this pre halloween but as i watch its now july... all i can think is GRIFFINDOOOOOORRRR lol
Thank you! That really resonated.
Thank you, I had cleft palate before and I had surgery five years ago but my speech although improved a lot is nasally and it causes me to feel insecure. I will try these exercises and update after a while.
I hve a same problem did it work please reply
Could you please make a video of vocal tone exercise that can make my voice tone sound amazing.
How much time will it take to speak non-nasally?
@Aashish Khattri Just kidding man. okay. deleting it
5 minutes
Please can you make a video on auditory feedback for VPI
I’m wondering if using the muscles around the nose,like the nasalis; which suppresses the nostrils; would have an affect on the voice
great video btw
Thank you :)
I have sinus/allergies and blocked eustation (ear) tubes.
I have a slightly nasal speaking and singing voice, mostly I can tell when I'm tired/just woken up or there's nasal issues.
How many times per day would I do these exercises?
What would be the approximate time it would start fixing it, and would I keep doing this (as maintenance)?
I use a balloon to pop pressure in my ears, and sometimes use saline spray, but nothing is really helping the crackling sound as I open my jaw/yawn.
Would these exercises help? My voice is clearish (I sound like a little 5 year old sometimes lol) I just want to get the little bit of nasal out.
Thank you. :)
Hello,
These exercises are suggested to be a part of a comprehensive treatment plan. They might help in that case and with weeks of doing them every day. There are other ways to help with nasality as well that someone who can see you in person may be able to help you find.
Good luck!
Thanks so much for your response and your help :)
I hear you, I am exactly the same as you! I had large adenoids as a child and my voice is still nasal to this day.
@@SierraSpeech then where can I get a comprehensive treatment plan?
would you recommend these same exercises to be used with a 3yo who presents with hypernasality on all sounds (already cleared by ENT)- fellow SLP here with little experience with nasal voicing.
Hi Ciara! This is a helpful video. I have a client who has a weakened or possibly no control at all over her vellum. She says she has never been able to puff pit her cheeks! I recommended humming to her to strengthen her soft palate. Can you recommend some humming exercises that may supplement the inability to puff put your cheeks?
This is amazing!!! Thank you!
LolaOpheliac Oh, thank you! Hope it helps.
Hello! How often and how long should I do this? Thank you so much!
So ur soft palette Is a muscle? Do u suggest surgery? My son was born not breathing and has speech delay as well as low muscle tone....do u think his soft palette could be effected from low muscle tone and can get stronger over time without surgery?
hello is this exercise helpful for people with sinusitis
I am taking speech therapy to improve my articulation skills. My therapist recommended I see a voice ent because I sound nasally. What exactly will a voice ent recommend?
Thank you lil witch
Hi I want you to evaluate my daughter whether she speaks through the up soft pellet or not. How should I register?
I have soft palate paralysis, idiopathic unilateral palsy. What should I do to improve, my therapist told me to do oral Motor exercise.
what time will spend for a speech problem patient???
when I start to speak my sound is like I’m talking like in a box and my voice is unclear I don’t know what to do and to maybe the other problems in my activity doing it after I speak
Cool. What if air comes out of my eyeball when pushing on my cheeks. Good or no?
How many times during the day should we do those exercises?
I am narrating now and have gotten to know my voice more intimately than I ever have before. There is a click somewhere in my head (between my nose and ear) after almost every vocal cadence, unless the phrase ends with an N or an M. I can't quite pinpoint it but most likely it's nasal cavity related. The click is not really audible until I mix the track. Then it becomes very audible and I have to use mixing software to remove the clicks. I've discovered that the clicks are triggered when I stop exhaling at the end of the last word in the phrase. I've tried the techniques you demonstrated and they were helpful last night when I was lying in bed. Today, however, while SITTING in font of my computer monitor and after performing the nasal exercises, the clicks did not go away. I am from Long Island NY, we use our nose a lot when we speak. HAHA. Does any of what I described raise an eyebrow?
No, I understood this perfectly
Hi I went and lived in japan for 2 years I’m 14 now but my voice was average before and now I have a really high pitch voice and I don’t know what to do :(
Hello Sierra and thank you so much, this is very helpful! I have a specific question: I'm a college student who was born with a partial cleft palate and am working to reduce my hypernasality. My doctor said I have really good articulation and the problem is mainly that there's a gap on the right side of the velum when it should be completely blocking air flow, letting a lot more air go through than normal. Will these exercises help with that? is there any way to strengthen one side of my cleft palate in particular? Thanks again :)
Hi, Hope you are well now. Can share what has happened during this year as I think I have have problem I had. Many thanks
When I am starting to speaking my upper lips is kind of not moving there and I wonder is it have a connection between the sound and upper lip laziness
so i think i press my tung to closs the soft palet i have NO idea hou to close it without my tong
You are so cute! What about people who never speak through their noses because they are congested all the time? What is that called? Is that good or bad?
Hi! Does it work to a person undergone cleft palate operation in mid-20s?
Does these exercises are helpful for cleft lip & palate patients who got their final surgery in 20s? Kindly reply
I was just wondering, what is your thought on a doctorate SLP stated that non-speech oral motor exercise will NOT help the patient in improving speech? It has been proven that it will NOT help, just wondering what is your thoughts on it.
It is hard to believe anything when 100% of results for studies are supposed to be posted when they come up with positive/negative results but only a small percentage of studies actually get submitted or published
My ears started ringing after I did this
Really? Did they ever stop by chance?
I’m generally curious.
Please respond
Schedule a visit with an ear nose and throat (ENT) doctor. Possible diagnostics may find underlying conditions indicating procedural correction to resolve the problem(s)
so how many minutes should this be done.
It actually works. I can pronounce words better that I had a hard time with after doing this excise
Hi,
I'm a speech therapist and have some patients with stroke and TBI, obviously, they have VPI and I usually use your advice besides other therapeutic ways. I want to add this comment that sometimes (as in my patients) in some cases disabilities that patients have are more complex and they can't do this exercises for strengthening their VP and reduce their nasality, so do you have any suggestion for this patients?
best,
Hello Mahmoud,
One good option for more severe VPI is to use a prosthetic that is worn like a retainer, it holds the velum up higher, or they can have surgery to increase likelihood of closure.
Thanks for the question,
Sierra
@@SierraSpeech
yeah, I know about it but in our country, we have limitations to access such a beneficial tool, could you explain more about it or direct me to a guideline to create it with helping a medical engineer?
all the best,
Mahmoud
I’m just tryna not sound spongebob
Lmao I feel that I have a low sponge bob voice
Hi Ciara, as an upcoming Speech Therapist, I have been learning a lot from your videos and they have been super helpful as well, however the techniques you have been demonstrating lack explanation of how frequent should it be done to achieve optimal results; things of dosage and duration. Kindly help with this, Thank you please.
Foes it work?
i was thinking of that one caleb city vine during the intro lmao
mam I have nasal voice problem give lesson to fix totally
I saw that diagram at 2:05 and was seriously shocked... Is the soft palate really meant to be that big that it hits the back???? Because mine is so small I can put my tongue over it
Mikail Raja Same. Honestly I think most people here would benefit from VPI surgery more. I had speech training lessons from a top speech therapist when I was young, and although my speech improved drastically we could never sort out the nasality completely.
Just wondering, do you ever suffer from a blocked nose or allergies?
Omg. 1 min away from Halloween and I saw this video
why do i feel like my voice changes all the time now it sounds more nasally
breathe through a straw? are you trying to kill me lady jk ty i breathe out of straw now

😭im sorry for you
Step 2 : how to die

If they are a part of a comprehensive treatment plan, they can help with cleft palate post sx.

She gives the first tip at 2:40
You are totally look like dytto 😄😍
I'm having problem with l,m,n and I cant even hmm while holding my nose . Please guide
Hi Qazal,
A speech therapist can help to determine what might be happening in your mouth when you try and use those sounds, and they might refer you to an ENT (ear, nose, and throat doctor). And I wouldn't worry about not being able to say "hmm" while holding your nose, no one can!
Best of luck.
You should start an asmr channel
Killer Facts I love ASMR!
Eugene Speech Therapy you have the perfect voice for it
Came here to learn but fell in love with this gorgeous lady!
Can a ent help with this? If not for 100% sure .who would I see ? I looked on line but I not sure who for real help with this. I'm tired of felling insecure and judge by my voice. It's a nightmare. No one take me seriously. People try pushing me around and I really believe it's the sound I'm make when I speak. I heard myself from recording it and I myself want to bully me. No joke.
