No-No's - Problems Alter Your Voice

In fact, there are three specific problems with nasal resonance that could hinder a voice actor's career if they aren't addressed, warns voice talent and coach Bettye Zoller. In Part 5 of her VoiceOverXtra podcast series on vocal health, Zoller reviews these problems and how to spot them. Get ready to take notes on hyper-nasality and de-nasality. Should you be concerned?
