WHAT IS BELTING?
Belting was originally a term used to describe a female voice. Even though the terminology did not include male singers, any singer can belt. Every singer strives to sing with control and power in their voice, very few start out that way. Belting does not mean yelling!
This powerful vocal sound is released, not forced. Belting is a loud and commanding way to sing. The singer should use belting in the appropriate places of a song, never belt throughout the song. When you belt, you are driving sound that is produced by pushing the natural chest register beyond its normal limits. Most singer who belt, carry it comfortably up to around B flat in the middle of the staff.
Make sure you are standing firm on your two feet and centering yourself (proper posture). Belting comes from your core. If you pretend you are blowing out a candle, as your push the air out, notice how the muscles around your rib cage and the top of your stomach muscles tighten. Almost feels like all the muscles are hugging your ribs and lungs.
Start singing with some of your favorite singers and try to mimic the belting that they do. Do not strain and if you need help, you can always find a professional vocal coach to help you along the way. Make sure you do it right, because if you do it incorrectly, you will feel it in your throat and will cause damage.
