TranceCrafter's definitions

nasal

In this case, defining a characteristic of certain sounds as having a "nasal" quality. for example, a person's voice will be more nasal if the larynx is high, or if they naturally talk through their nose.

also, certain instruments can also have a rather "pinched" or "nasal" tone to them, for instance the oboe or the clarinet.

she belted out a high "A" but because of problems with her breathing technique, the sound came out sounding more nasal than usual.

Audialize

I coined this word myself. Means the same thing as the word "visualize" except instead of visuals, it's auditory information.

"now if I audialize that sound, I can hear it in my mind and make sense of what is happening."
