I'm currently in a musical, which requires alot of solo songs for the part I have. The director says i have a really great voice but its nasily. She then got me to do an exersise to fix that, but figured out its not nasily, its just airy and i need to learn to project it more, to make it stronger. Does anyone know of anything i could do on a regular basis to help that? Any tips or anything?
Thanks :)

My advice would be to practice projecting by using lots of air and standing tall (shoulders back, unless it is not in your character). Also, always warm up your voice before you start singing. Sing scales, or go through your songs, do silly things with your voice. Hope this helps, and good luck!

The best thing to do is hire a good voice teacher. He/she would be able to introduce you to 1)vocal breathing 2)diaphragm 3)voice resonance (do not tense the throat and learn how to sing properly sending your voice to the right position) 4)Expression and interpretation and more... those are crucial for a good singing (including a strong voice)

There are a lot of things that can contribute to 'breathiness', so there isn't one one-size-fits-all excercize that is going to fix it for everyone. If you find the role challenging to sing through then I suggest you see a teacher, especially if you're singing breathy.
