The lower your soft palate, the more unsealed air can travel through your nose rather than your mouth, resulting in a nasal voice and flaring nostrils.

How can I sing without nasal voice?

Why do singers wear earbuds?
The earpieces that singers wear on stage are called ‘in-ear monitors’. They provide the singer with a direct source of sound, protect their hearing and allow them to customize their stage mix.
