I went to the docotr and he said it did not sound Hi there, Learning to sing can be so frustrating at times!!! But I think your problem is your focus..............however, the problem is not that you can't get your voice to focus into your nose, but that you are trying to get it to focus in your nose. What you need to be focusing on right now is connecting your chest voice and your head voice.......or even developing a head voice if you don't have one. Trying to force the sound into your nose will not help this to happen............any sensation in your face, mouth, chest etc.. is the result of proper registration, not the way to get there.................Ask your teacher about finding exercises for you that will help you keep your cords closed and the proper amount of air pressure throughout all ranges of your voice. Remember, pushing more air to get higher notes will not help, it will only create more tension,and cause you frustration. Hope this helps, and Good luck, Mary Beth Felker Speech Level Singing Instructor
