Hey Wait, You Can Belt!
There’s so much controversy as to whether belting will ruin your voice.
Classical instructors often argue that contemporary belting is not safe.
But belting can be found in all contemporary styles of singing like Rock, Pop, R&B, Gospel, Country and Folk.
It has been my experience that in the contemporary world, very few singers understand proper support and the art of relaxation…and therefore strain so much when they sing that this “stress” on the vocal folds eventually causes long term damage.
There are countless examples of this from Meghan Trainor to John Mayer. If not “managed” correctly, belting can and will cause long-term damage.
So will belting ruin your voice?
The truth is….ignorance is bliss.
The truth is…belting can be completely safe.
The style of belting we teach employs proper breath support and bel canto classical techniques. And in order to bring about brighter timbral sounds, we incorporate the use of techniques such as mask and vowel modifications while minimizing the over use of consonant sounds in order to maintain open throat.
This helps eliminate a “strained sound” and allows for an open sound without “pinching or squeezing.”

People that want this “FAST” are not going to like to hear that it takes time.
Like buying into the ‘overnight success’ myth, this isn’t something that develops overnight.
IT’S A LIE.
