What do you think belting is?

Question

Have you ever tried to explain in words what belting is?

Answer 1

Belting is a vocal technique where higher notes are sung with a strong, speech-like quality rather than a light or airy sound. It’s often overcomplicated, but at its core, belting should feel similar to your speaking voice and never forced or strained. When working on a belt that feels difficult, I often have students try saying “hey taxi!” at a confident volume while imagining their voice carrying forward to the wall in front of them. This helps connect the sound to a natural, healthy place instead of pushing.

Answer 2

My answer is: Belting is a vocal register that is dragged to a height where the next register should begin to apply.Usually it is a chest register that we try to pull as high as possible without mixing it. But there might be other options.
