You actually have an amazing voice, though at times you do sing through your nose, which is okay. I believe it's a personal preference thing, because some people actually sound better that way (Barbera Streisand, for example). Underneath the nasal sounds that you occasionally produce, you sound magnificent. If it bothers you, you can work on it, and your singing will only get better. If you don't want to, then don't, because you sound great as is.
Singing through your nose is something that is easily fixed, you just need to practice. Hold your nose while you sing, and keep singing until you feel little vibration (there will always be some when you pronounce certain sounds) in your nasal area. Do this often, I still do it even though I rarely have that problem anymore.

This is going to come out really technical sounding, and for that I apologize. It's hard to explain over the internet.
Anyways, to improve your sense of pitch and intonation (how "in tune" you are with the actual note), it really helps to sing just a single note while playing the same note on an instrument such as a piano. If you listen really carefully, you may be able to hear a pulsing between yourself and the instrument. This pulsing will tell you how far you are above or below the actual note. If the pulsing is slow, that means you're pretty far away. The faster the pulsing is, the closer you are. Once you don't hear the pulsing at all, you're in tune with the correct pitch.
Another thing that helps is recording yourself and listening to it. You can't just listen to it once. Listen to it multiple times and at different times during the day. Don't try to do anything else. Just sit and listen. Make mental notes of what you liked and disliked about your own singing.
I may come up with more suggestions later.

By "hold" do you mean pinch or just have you hand on it?
