What are some possible causes of nasal sounding voice in a healthy individual?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nasal voice: You could have a narrowing of your nasal passages, possibly due to an anatomical variant or a polyp obstructing the nasal passage. Most commonly seasonal allergies are the cause. I recommend over the counter non drowsy cetirizine or pseudoephedrine, if that is the cause.

It could also occur from large tonsils and adenoids which may be genetic, caused by strep, sinusitis, tonsillitis, mono, viruses. These are just to name a few.
