Yes: A deviated septum can certainly contribute to nasal obstruction which may cause a hyponasal voice (commonly described as a nasal voice). This is caused by altered resonance from decreased airflow through the nasal passages.

Yes: If the deviated septum is severe it can cause nasal airway blockage which can affect the voice quality. You should consult with a nose surgeon to see if you might benefit from surgery to correct this.
