Hey, how's it going? I've been working on this for a while. I watched quite a lot of musicals/songs for this. I had it all, (clips, notes, etc) written down on "notes" (lol) I was like "editing's left now, the hard part is done!" but nooo Lots of additional content was added (and consistenly). I would do a few clips and then remember another one that wasn't included, so I will go and included it and so and so. But I'm really happy for how it turned out! It's the longest video I ever made!! When I was editing the counterpart of the video 2/3 years ago (Male belting) it was also January so it feels like a full circle! Lastly, I got the virus y'all! SO excited. My head hurted like hell and I was really weak. The last part was tough because it's quite high and my ears weren't so fond of those high frequencies. Luckily I didn't had any major symptom and I'm doing ok now! Anyways, I hope you guys like it! P.S: welcome 2022! (even tho I got covid within 2 weeks in) Let's hope for a great year 💜

Women's midbelts are heavenly. Always makes me wonder why high notes were much more coveted when they can sound like that.

Sam Pauly and Barrett Wilbert Weed always amaze me with how low their belting starts and how high and consistent it can be, despite feeling feeling tense and explosive throughout. It never sounds too easy for them, which I like. And yet their technique is great.

Can we just appreciate the entire Six cast for a second 😌

The transitions from D to E flat and to E were legendary!

I love that you can find basically any note in existence belted in Wicked by someone!

Literally all of those women are just *chef's kiss.* Love them all.

I appreciate that the C#5 transition to D5 was from one Mueller sister to another 😌

i always think abt that moment in the every little step documentary when they have a montage of a bunch of dancers trying to hit the crescendo in at the ballet and either being super shouty or just not trusting their voices at all. then mara comes in and does it pretty much perfectly. iconic moment!

Fascinating to hear the same notes hit by women in different registers (some lowering their voices, some touching the top of their range). This is a great video to hear the different voice types within the same pitch.

17:55 an effortless F5 from barrett💚💚 19:44 earthshaking G5 from renee rapp✨ 21:19 yesss the sustained G# from barrett is here✨ 21:37 yess melba moore is here 22:13 some appreciation on Sam Pauly's sustained A in HOTM 22:36 yess idina

18:25 that- THAT NOTE HAS BEEN AN F THIS WHOLE TIME?!?! And I've been hitting it as ifnit weren't the edge of my range. I guess its all in the mind

When you are seeing the title, which consists words "women" and "belting", "Are Patti LuPone and different Elphabas going to be in it?" ISN'T EVEN A QUESTION.

The guy in the background at 7:55 is my exact reaction watching these videos. lmao

Cynthia is insane

Idina's reaction at 23:20 was me when I first heard this

11:38 she hit that so perfectly I was hearing overtones

In conclusion samantha pauly is literally a goddes

Cynthia is everything to me!

Eva Noblezada and Cynthia Erivo are my favs in this “current generation” and know they’ll be legendary.

I appreciate that you included Betty’s Carrie moments. I love the original musical!

Amazing work as always

Oh my god!!! Willemijn Verkaik at 17:38! Best riff at Wicked i've ever heard!

G4 & A4 is my sweet spot in my voice. I love this.

When I watched Imelda Staunton in Gypsy, I thought, yup, she is the most talented person alive. No question. She's like the love child of Patti Lupone AND Meryl Streep.

This is so cool to hear!

Mara Davi on the E5 is INSANE

u have no idea how much i adore and appreciate u for making your videos. They fuel our musical theater hearts and are very educational too

this is my new favorite video

Willemijn???? Just a casual 20-second held note

This is amazing. Thanking for making this video. Just wonderful. 🙏🙏🙏❤️

Oh my god I’m so happy Jai’Len is on here! I haven’t heard anyone talk about how hard she went for the Spongebob musical! Her voice is absolutely astounding!

The way Willemjn Verkaik held that note 😟

This video is full of talented women ugh

GREAT vid love love love your chanel!!!

My ears are blessed

11:37 genuinely started hearing C#6 because of the overtones!!

my jaw can never be put back again in its place after watching this

so many astonishing voices, but Barbra Streisand's voice has a magic unlike anyone else's.

jai’len josey has my whole heart i love her sm ahshaksb

These women are such inspiration to me for music and singing, Patti Lupone will always give me chills every time I hear her.

Omg Melba Moore that a5🤯 21:40

the amount of work you must have put into this-

Deedee Magno Hall was UNBELIEVABLE as Nessarose. I saw her in San Francisco like 4 times and the video doesn't do her justice

Oh my lord! Willemijn Verkaik is such a goddess!

This is so good. It's just that, there's no Jessica Vosk on any Wicked clip. 😔

I love you put a Filipino Actress/Singer in this video ❤️ (Lea Salonga)

Wow. Fabulous Thank you!

I've seen sutton foster in anything goes and to say she is amazing is an understatement

Thanks for highlighting Melba Moore....Queen of the high belts!!!!

This video is amazing , I use this and other videos if yours to see where I am singing and have been since last Summer if you ever read this , thank you so much for this gem of a video

Ahhh Phyllis Hyman!😍

Lupone's voice hits like a truck. What power.

4:27 Find someone who looks at you like Bernadette and Audra look at Patti. lol

Danielle Steers is just immaculate 😩

Hailey Kilgore is so Underatted SHE NEEDS MORE APPRECIATION AHHHH

Anyone else hearing a whistle note over some of these belts? An overtone I think? Amazing.

Jenna Ushkowitz C5 belt 8:51

These girls belting and/or mixing B5’s and C6’s: Head voice: 👁️👄👁️

4:37 the emoji😭🍚

Let's give them credit for looking through a lot of slime tutorials, this is an artwork

17:56 Barrett sounds better than me understudying as Veronica in Heathers

i saw sam pauly and clicked immediately

1:24 I feel like these last few months, I've been grieving the end of Laura Osnes's career and the end of being able to respect her as a person. I know that sounds incredibly harsh, but without the vaccine, she's going around risking the lives of everyone around her, especially old people and people with HIV and other immunity diseases. I saw her in previews of Grease all the way back in 2007. She could have sailed the Atlantic and starred as Bonnie once again. She could have toured nationwide as Cinderella. And she said no. 😔

0:08 Earthshaking E4 from Eva 0:19 Yesss Patti LuPone is here 1:14 Abby 🤍🤍 1:27 What show is this 8:22 Barrett 💙 11:02 Carrie is my idol 11:14 You go girl 11:27 Elsa is my dream role 13:28 Yesss the sustained D from Carrie is here 13:30 I played Anna before 17:12 Damn Kate can belt 17:25 So can McKenzie 17:56 an effortless F5 from Barrett 18:46 LOOK IT'S GLINDA! 19:44 Yessss Renee 20:15 I played Penny and this was a beast to sing 20:31 I'm in awe by Kate's singing 21:19 Yess the sustained G#5 from Barrett

would love to see some more carmen cusack content!

Barbara Streisand

You could do Samantha Barks "ITS JA-VEEEEEERRRTT" from the 25th as her C5 so you don't have to have on my own back to back

OK good! I was worried that you wouldn’t be giving Eden Espinosa her due as she so rightfully deserves

Thanks!

Who else just loves Mis Saigon after they listen to it-

okay I have no musical training whatsoever so this might be a dumb question. but. how do you know which notes these are?? like do you check it with a piano or something? or do you just know this because you check what key the song is in? or do all these people that are like "wow this sustained A#" have perfect pitch?? someone please tell meee

Mrs. Chita Rivera ❤️❤️

Idina doing the high C shook me lol

F5 is just every elphaba

Let's talk about Willemijn at 6:28

What’s Bea Arthur’s performance? What song? Where is the performance from?

Me and my sis are both mezzos! She can go up to E5 and I can hit a G5!

AAAAhhhHHHHHHH

No Jessica Vosk?

22:59 i love that

Is Patti LuPone even a real person? Nope, she's a goddess.

your work is phenomenal. also, just learnt you're argentinian? bro let's hang out

taking these notes out of context I'm like I can sing that note in this song so easily but for some reason not that other one. Singing is 75% technical and 25% Psychological 😅

Melba Moore's A5 wtf

💟💟💟💟

What's the song Betty Buckley is singing at G4?

Request: I was wondering if you could do the same thing, but with most Broadway men.

It is fun to hear who is flat and sharp

At 20:35 what song and musical is this because WOW

14:22 when i always see this woman ...... i see in her face of Lea Salonga... or just me...

what song is willemijn's d5

What was 20:58!? That was amazing

I LOVE HAILEY KILGORE

I’ll quietly sit in a corner over the fact that Hannah Waddinghams massive vocal range doesn’t appear here

Willemijn is truly not of this earth

Still can’t fathom two people in this video came from my HIGH SCHOOL 😳

a5 is my highest lol

Vivian's A4 tho
