How to Belt High Notes Without Strain (Pull Chest OR use Mixed Voice?) 

😂

LOL

f

same lol except that he went to buy milk only to find i got milk and he goes home to belt me

well he gave u the lessons

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.

Hey what note was it just for curiosity?

You could just... make a video and share it with us? Any platform would do... Share your note with the world!

Please do, it would be wonderful

Man in the box

@@gratecheese1266how do i know what note im singing? do i just not have the ears for it

how do you know if you’re using full fold closure?

@@pasha-ly4ss there’s a lot of videos on it but I think it’s the feeling when you hold a vowel like aaa and there’s no breathiness and just a stable tone with all your resonance like when you speak

i totaly disagre about rock singers... And Dio its the best example of mix ad drive in high notes... Cornell its another one.. two of the bests... The rock singers that sing in chest voice not realy sig that high notes, Bro..

@@aleferraz78 man rlly that's just terminology. for the high notes above c5 you need to "mix" it a bit more (literally acoustics and resonance stuff)you can actuslly tell when greg goes into that area a little break happens. but saying that is far from saying rock singers use mix voice generally. the usual belting range is f4-b4 and those singers frequently used very belty open coordinations in that area i think youre not suited for rock without those capabilities.

​@@aleferraz78 listen Lost in Echoes by Casket... theres no fckng way Matt aint belting that D#5 (D5 in live) in the chorus and that D5 (C#5 live) in the bridge, theres so much power and you see that he pulls a lot of effort to sustain that

but why the hell?

she's using a classical technique of i guess "mixed" voice LOL literally like all classical/opera singers do that

​@@mkaylaabila4913opera is not mixed voice!! It is head voice

🤣

hahaha! Same!

lol

Comedy 🎭 GOLD 🏆: 21:18 “Ehhhhhhh ❗️ Yeah Imma GRANDPA 👴🏼 ❗️”

literally did the same thing😭

This kind of mindset deserves much respect! You are awesome sir!

Wow that's amazing 👏🏽

That's awesome. Quite a resume you have, Isn't Seth Riggs the one that helped Sohyang with her belting/mixing?

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!

@@leanture3685 i agree with you. but. Your spelling is atrocious. jkjk

@@leanture3685 I disagree. Mahalia Jackson sang entirely in chest belt and never lost her voice.

@@MrBertramLevaughn that's because Mahalia only used an octave and a half of her voice. She didn't push herself and never strained.

@@musicloveranthony yes exactly. If you know the disadvantages and advantages of whatever mode of sound you're using, you shouldn't run into trouble.

Also studied voice in University & I have to agree

Surprising how the schools fail us

P.s. I share this account with my son 😅 there are old videos of how I used to sing in another band and we have the playlist "the escape clause" in the list titled that as well. I'm not trying to advertise fyi. I'm just looking for opinions if you ever wanted to hear the difference between the two 😂 I could send you a mix of our new song as well.

I am her son hello guys

You're adopted​@@hackyjacksgaming693

@@hackyjacksgaming693 hiiii

I'm the same I'm afraid off my voice cutting out or sounding horrific I can sing but can't get the higher I'd surgery on my throat don't know if that's the reason or its just because I'm older and havnt sung in so long I play a keyboard and it's so annoying when you learn a song in the key off g and can't sing it lol that happened me last night

Eh just add vibrato, and a run down the scale its a go to cover up of mine.

I could have written this. I need to do the same thing--be brave and make loud noises till I find the right space for the notes. That choice of words was probably wrong. I mean that I need to try what he's suggesting without fear of what people will think when I make those sounds. Being self-conscious is the worst thing ever.

Bruno Mars song mostly it's really hard even though as a guy myself I feel exhausted to hit the note.

Well, why wouldn't you lower the pitch of these songs? I do that for my students, sometimes even half-step lower works much better for their voices.😃

wrong!!!!!! Mixed voice is a balance of head and chest!!! So technically its still a belt!!! Its just not 100% pure chest, but still a belt! Some people have more heady mix and even that is still belting since it has chest in it!

@@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).

@@leanture3685 some of those singers doesn't even use chest voice. Mixed voice use a lot of blending and light mechanism. Okay you can say it's still a belt or whatever, but they clearly not using chest voice. Chest voice = core/foundation. Most of those singers with mixed voice having coreless belts, constricted as hell, thin, and overly bright.

Isn’t belting just projecting your mix

@@ysguthiofoberatos Belting basically means pulling your chest voice up whether it is mixed or not.

This is what I'm trying to do. I know it's there too. I can feel it. I'm so close! Saw this comment in 2022.

I just can’t read and say the word “myriad” without singing “my proooblems were myriad, I wAs hAViNg mY PerIOd” 😭💀 please help

@@AnnaBogomolovaMoroz Please tell me if you find the help, I'd like it too

Time to sue him 💰

I like you style at mixing👍👍👍

@@gustavopaulette3496 lol 😂

@@gustavopaulette3496 - For giving him exposure? I just learned about him because he was in this video.

Wow! A G5, that's amazing! Right now I'm trying to go higher, cause I can only go from F2 to D4 or E4, I wish I can sing as high as you one day!

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

that's incredibly high! are you sure you don't mean a G4, or are you a little off? G5 is incredible! I absolutely believe you can get high but oh lord that's really high!

@@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...

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? 😱

how did you expand your belting range?

i found another little monsterrrr :D

Damn. That's really impressive. What are your tips for increasing one's vocal range? I still can't seem to access mixed voice and my belting range is capped at F4.

That’s really interesting! I have always sung, now I practice mantra meditation and use it with music, but only pretty recently. My husband grew up in India where mantras and music is common and his voice is stronger than mine, maybe due to what you’ve mentioned. Do you know of any videos where they talk about the voice in relation to mantra mediations, vibrations, etc? I’d really love to see and learn!

Yes! I know! I was thinking of throat singing when he was going between vowels at one point to show open versus closed. The only difference was that he didn't have harmonic overtones :) It's all so fascinating.
