Nasality in Japanese—Important! (Patreon)

Good afternoon Patrons!

I recently received a YouTube comment (pinned on this video) from a Japanese speaker which essentially said, "Your Japanese is very good, but sometimes it sounds like you're speaking with slightly too much nasality." In the above video, I address this comment in detail. 

To be clear—I often speak Japanese in an overly nasal manner in both my comedic videos and in this Patreon series, and this is unnatural. Try to speak from your mouth, rather than your nose.

As mentioned in the above video, yesterday I re-recorded the 'Japanese Vocal Placement Clarification' video to include a small section addressing the nasality in my Japanese. This video can be found here.

If anyone has any questions or concerns with regards to this topic please don't hesitate to leave a comment or question below. Thank you for your continued support and good luck with you Japanese studies!
