As a Professional singer, Herr Are some tips and notes on top of everything that was said in this video! :) 1. Use your back muscles!!! Emphasis is usually on your core and diaphragm (which you definitely need for belting!) but everyone almost always neglects those back muscles! If you watch great singers perform live, you’ll notice their arms are usually stretched wide and they are up in a straight stance most of the time. This engages the back muscles 2. DO NOT overpush on that breath support!!! Think of it like this- instead of taking a deep breath and going for your phrase, take a deep breath, blow half of it out, and THEN start singing. You should not be using more air for belting- in fact, you may even use less. What you need is not more air, it’s more PRESSURE behind the folds! That being said you also do not want to tighten or strain. So don’t put TOO much! There really is a healthy medium to be found, and you will not find it in 1 day of practice, it will take weeks or months. You got this, my lil friend! :D

Thanks for sharing those tips about the back muscles! It gives me more motivation to work on my posture because I have scoliosis. People tell me I have a great voice. I think working on my core and posture will help me sing better. Your comment kind of confirmed what I've been thinking about as far as ways to improve.

As a rock singer, I've had so many teachers tell me not to "pull chest" and just use Mix and bring my head voice down but it always felt and sounded wrong for me. All the rock singers I listened to were clearly yelling and projecting a very intense sound and I learned how to do it as well by basically doing the same thing getting into the "call register/yelling and then applying singing fundamentals and technique from there. This video is 100% the correct way to do it if you wanna belt epic rock songs, you have to get into the yell pocket, add twang as you go higher and use your full fold closure.

The problem with pulled-up chest belting is that you can only take it so high, and it can quickly fatigue the voice. Especially if it's done incorrectly the margin of error is amplified 10 fold and so is the risk of damage. So this among many reasons, makes it imperative to have a reliable mix.

Doing ful lon chesty belts nons top costs you a lot of vocal dollars and will cause vocal fatigue on the long run!!! Loo kat al lthe great belters who mostly sued loud belting like xtian the bansheelera! You need a good balance of belting the lwoer notes and then mixing for the higher notes and u can have a well balanced mix of head and chest whihc sounds jsut as pwoerful if not more pwoerful the full on chest! Also with ful lon chest u cah always crack and is impossible to sustain alonger note reliable! I prefer chest for lower notes and balanced mix for upper belting!

Hi I've been singing professionally since 1981 when I was still a freshman in college. I am also a vocal coach. After watching this video, it has opened my teaching techniques to a much wider dimension. Probably because the old fashioned teachers have taught us styles that were mainly too boxed and too old. Thank you for this video. I will try to get a hold of your other videos which will help me especially in teaching those of this new generation.

I was terrified back in the day to belt and everyone said, no matter what I did, that I needed to be louder. I never belted. I used a very soft chest voice and was too chicken to use that power I had locked away. Man...I was missing the belts that helped us get noticed!!!! I'll use this for recording and warm ups. Thank you so much!!!! It was amazingly helpful. I used to strain and now I don't. 😊

I definitely feel and hear the difference between mixed voice and belt. The easiest way for me to access the full sounding belt is by using "hey" like we're yelling hey, but without the closed /i/ at the end. It is very conducive to the yell/call quality. I find the twangy sound by doing a baby cry or adding a quacky sound. There's definitely a window where it's a full sounding belt and it then goes into a bright, twangy mix sound. One tip for your video would be to actually demonstrate the belt on words and in the context of a phrase. All of my students really appreciate it when I demonstrate a technique by applying it to an actual song. I can even make up lyrics, for example: "I don't care..." = I (D4) don't (D4), care_____ (G4 F#4 E4 D4) and then do the same phrase in the next key a half step up (and continue up). That way they can also hear the shift you mentioned (more thinning among other things). I like your perspective of "belt." Some people call too many sounds "belt" when they are clearly using mixed voice. If there's no difference, then it's pointless to use the words.

@@StudioWestLessons Curious if you've studied the Estill technique? I've studied voice with different methods and the one that has totally changed my perspective has been the Estill method. Estill also would never say head and chest voice (which really just refers to where the sound resonates, but I've always hated the terms). Estill would agree with your definition of a belt and would say that the "ey" quality you're referring to is thanks to the tilting of the Cricoid. The belt quality in Estill would say it needs extremely little air (opposite of what certain other techniques preach), should be done in a speech-quality thick fold body cover -- (think of someone yelling "Eyy--- Anthony!!"). Estill however wouldn't use the word mix. Instead the technique would say a singer like Natalie Weiss is using a thin fold body cover (singing on the thin folds for the majority of her sound) with a narrowed aryepiglottic sphincter (AES) which produces that twang quality --- the narrowing creates a formant between 2000 and 4000 Hz (the Singer's Formant) -- opera singers would probably refer to it as squilo. With regards to @Leanture's comment, I think there is a just a differences in the way certain techniques define belt. To some, it is a specific quality with a very specific anatomical setup. To the human "ear" however, he/she is correct that many would refer to Broadway mixed voices as "belts" - it's just not the same belt that we are referring to. Think "World Burn" by Taylor Louderman in Mean Girls -- many would say she's belting, but from a technical standpoint there is hardly any Cricoid tilt (or what you may refer to as a yell quality).

this is the best explanation i've ever heard of how to belt. I'm 51 and back singing after years of ... not singing. I wish i had this sort of information when i was young. I've never been taught how to do this and have always wanted to learn how to belt. I also have had nodules on my chords , as a 6 year old and and had to go through speech therapy 3 times during my life time to bring my chords back to working condition (one of those times was due to having a medical condition that made my chords swell massively when used - caused by meningitis ) so my range, control, tone, and vocal formation are terrible.... well very rough... and i have bad habbits that i want to correct. I am back singing casually now at 51 years or age and need guidance like this to be not only able to have the range to hit the songs my 80's duo does, but also have the stamina to be able to get through gigs without either losing my voice or needing 3 days to not sound rough. If only you had spaces free in your schedule!!!

This was actually so helpful. I kept hearing people talk about mix, but I never really knew what it was or how to sing in it. And I knew I had a belty voice but I didn’t really understand why. Also during this year I temporarily switched music teachers, and my new teacher keeps trying to get me not to modify my mouth shape when I go up, but naturally having a beltier voice I usually do that and found it very strange that he would ask me to keep it still. I now understand that my previous voice teacher was leaning into my belting more and that’s probably why she liked my vowel modification. 😂 thanks so much.

This is so dope man. Everything you're describing is used in spiritual practice of mantras, incantations, meditation, on and on. Vibrating a specific vowel & tone combo and then moving it around, back and forth, up and down, expanded and contracted - practicing that actually did help me learn to sing better! Training your voice is really a powerful thing even if you aren't a performer or professional - singing is so empowering and most especially BELTING! :D It challenges you to SMILE and to tap into that self love and confidence and flow it out there to the universe

Wow so is it true that high chest voice or belting can improve in time? That means if I work on my belting I will go higher and higher everytime? 😱

Gregory you really got the science of singing down. I am glad you can identify the vocal areas and different tones created by "lowering this and raising that" -- and convey that to the non-singer. Great job! I subscribed to you and will continue coming back to your videos. Best to you!

I've spent like a year working my way through a more chesty sound and developing belting, relying either on a vocal coach and on many KZfaq videos... But this is definitely the first video that provides a clear and accurate step-by-step illustration on how to reach that type of registration. Amazing... By listening to you I also think that I kind of understood certain sounds... For instance, the verses of Like a Stone by Audioslave, despite being low pitched have a pleasant resonance with a beefy rounded sound. I think that in certain passages Chris Cornell is definitely in a quasi-belting position. I think that Bublé quickly moves in and out his crooner-ish approach to glipses of belting here and there. As regards adding twang, I think Mercury does that a lot... While Mike Patton provides many example of what you call "yelling pocket". An interesting case study to me is the vocalist of the Soen, who sometimes sounds kind of operatic. As regards the feeling of belting, I assume that the throat feels quite opened but I feel fatigue around D4 and find it hard to navigate my passaggio afterwards. I think I relied to much on mixed voice at the expanse of developing this sound. Let me know what you think about these assumptions of mine and please, suggests exercises for training that critical area of the 4th octave if you have any.

Wow this video is actually great! I have been trying to expand my belting range and getting more power in it for a long time and after watching this video I noticed the biggest difference in my voice. I used to struggle a lot around the G4 area and now I can easily go up to a D or Eb5 with a lot of power and also my 4th octave range feels a lot more natural and resonant. Thank you so much for the video!

Best explanation on the belt I have ever heard. I been in metal bands for 20+ years and have mastered every type of harsh vocal, vocal fry, and so on l. how ever I never really worked on my clean vocal. Never needed to for metal so I just never did. Now I’m older and wishing I worked on both but I guess it’s never too late. Having more than enough power only helps if u know how to control it. Thanks for the info here, I think it will help a ton!

I definetly need some more practice, but this 22 minute video did A LOT for me

I am 83 years old. I started to learn how to sing February 2019. My coach increased my chest range from C2 to D4 to A1 to G5 (on a good day since I can lose highest notes). My high C belted now sounds like Pavarottii sounded. I am a dramatic tenor naturally. I lesten on youtube and all the tenors are lyrical (why?).

There is no way you are a tenor if you have a chest A1: A lot of basses don't even have that low of a voice. You may be able to sing high, but that doesn't make you a tenor.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. 2 reasons. 1 dramatic tenors are naturally (genetically) not common, you are luckym. 2...lyric tenors find it easier to sing because they "carry less weight" so they feel more encouraged to try singing....but they dont sound as impressive as dramatic tenors. I am a spinto tenor I am in the middle and you can tell the difference. We have a harder time learning but in the end it dramatic sounds better

@@quakkzy6499 This is the internet, you ALWAYS have to take people's claims with a grain of salt. For starters it's EXTREMELY difficult for old people, even amazing singers to properly belt into their upper middle notes (E4-A4) for most tenors, so if an allegedly 80-year-old man claims he's able to belt a C5 that sounds like Pavarotti, i'd remain a little bit skeptical at least.... Edit: Especially if that man has singing videos uploaded to his channel, and his singing sounds... shaky.... even his low notes...

Trying to branch off from my lyrical classes I've been in for 4 years to train my voice into more punk rock. I've noticed that it holds a lot more of a yelling style and is very whiny compared to lyrical, so it's a lot my difficult to do so when for 4 years I've been told NOT to. This helped me so much, since I go airy on higher notes (alto issues) this helped me out a LOT

The only vocal coach I’ve found helpful on KZfaq so far is Madeleine Harvey, I adore her, I hope you join her! Edit: yup at C4 I end up switching to my mix. How do you tell the difference between twang in a belt and twang in a mix? How do you get over the vocal break without mixing?

My neighbors are gonna hate me for what I'm about to commit after watching this) I was actually surprised to hear that men and women have certain pivotal notes for switching between registers (if I got it right). I thought that your register "entering/exiting notes" depend on your vocal range and what's in head register for me can be in a chest one for you, for instance. But then, I used to dream of getting up to A4 at the time when my top note was F4. I thought, those pro singers just have a greater range and there's not much I can do to keep up with them. Now my top note is A#4 and though it's being squeezed out at the moment, it proves I can actually expand my range and, moreover, there's a certain resemblance between my A#4 and that one of professional singers. So here I am finally starting to learn how to do it right)
