If your voice is nasal, then it is nasal - doesn't make you a bad person ;)
There is not much can be done with technology about the unique characteristics that make each person's voice unique, without making their voice sound robotic or artificial. Jim Henson has a pretty weir voice, but that did not keep him from fame and fortune.

Almost everyone dislikes the sound of their recorded voice.
Have you considered asking someone else to do the talking / singing for you?

You could practice speaking with more "breath" as you speak. Any good voice trainer could give you exercises the will help with breathing and improved timbre.

I doubt that a great deal can be done through audio processing. Careful microphone placement may help to some extent, but the major part of any improvement is most likely to come from you. Sorry to harp on about this, but I do think that your best chance of improving voice recordings are through the age old tricks of "sitting up straight", "breathing from the diaphragm", "projecting", and so on.

You join the ocean of people wanting Audacity to: "Make my voice sound like something else." There are no Audacity tools to do that.

Audacity doesn't "know" what a voice is. It just knows pitches and tones over time. Trouble is, they change from word to word and as you read, perform and act.

Mel Blanc did OK with a cartoon voice. We can't all be Don LaFontaine.

There's some recent AI research that is just starting to become practical products: https://lyrebird.ai/

There is simple pitch change.

Effect > Change Pitch.

In general, you can't take it much past one piano note or two without sounding funny. A low human voice is not just a lower pitch regular voice. Some parts of your voice change and some don't.

If you're trying to correct a performance, make sure you do the effects and filters to a Copy of the performance, not the one and only file.

You could also post a sample of your voice.

And we'll beat it up.
