Well the lack of velum elevation in nasal singing is a given. The reasons are usually because a retracted tongue and/or elevated larynx are causing the velum to drop as a pressure release valve in sense because the back of the mouth is blocked off.
Exercises that get the tongue more forward and/or the larynx will allow the soft palate to lift eliminating the nasality.
