A strong, beautifully powerful sound can be produced from belting, which is essentially singing high and loud.It's important to breathe and open your mouth wide while belting, and there are a lot of exercises you can try that will strengthen your voice.If you feel unwell, stop singing and make sure you belt correctly because improper belting can cause harm to your voice and throat.
Step 1: Stand upright as possible.
If you are slouching, you will have a hard time belting.Place your feet shoulder-width apart so that you're comfortable and vertically aligned.Wherever you want, you can keep your arms at your sides.
Step 2: Take a breath from your body.
The base of your lungs is where your diaphragm is located.You should feel the air filling up in your chest when you breathe deeply.The energy from your core will help you power those notes.If you don't know if you're breathing from your diaphragm, lay down on the floor and put one hand over your chest and the other on your stomach.If you're breathing from your chest, the hand on your stomach should move as you take deep breaths.Breath support is important for belting.If you want to know how much air you need to make your voice loud, try yelling.Find out how much air and breath support is needed for each note.
Step 3: By shaking out your body, you will be able to release your tension.
Belting puts tension on your vocal cords, so it's important to relax the rest of your body as much as possible.Relax your shoulders and stand up straight.If you have to, shake out your arms and legs.Some jumping jacks, stretching your arms up over your head, and even yoga can help you relax.Stay relaxed before, during, and after singing.
Step 4: Keep your mouth open.
The better the sound you produce, the more you open your mouth.Your voice needs to be able to fill up your entire mouth, and you need to lower your tongue so that it doesn't interfere with the sound of your voice.Relaxing, not forcing, helps control the increase in air pressure in your mouth.Practice keeping your mouth open while singing.
Step 5: Stand your voice up.
You want the sound that you produce to be heard in the front of your face when you place your voice forward.Try to keep your tongue at the bottom of your teeth when singing.You'll be able to produce a richer sound with time and practice, even if it sounds like you're yelling.
Step 6: You can practice singing high notes in your chest voice.
Your head voice produces less volume than your chest voice.Practice singing notes higher and higher as you get better at belting, if you breathe deeply and summon your voice from your chest.Don't go too far above or below the range you can comfortably sing.
Step 7: If you have enough breath, you can sustain your belted notes.
Your voice will start to fade or crack if you use up all of your breath while singing.The less air that escapes through your air passage, the better.You can control the amount of air you use by breathing through a thin straw as you sing.
Step 8: You can strengthen your vocal strength by doing exercises.
You can learn to sing in different registers by doing exercises, such as the sounds that come from your chest voice and your head voice.Pick a sound and start singing it in different notes.Your head voice is the upper register.
Step 9: Say "hey" to bounce your voice off of it.
Say "hey" in a normal voice.Next time you hear the word bounce from your mouth, say it in a higher voice.You can turn it into more of a "heeeey" by saying "hey" and expanding it.It's important that you don't say "hey", it should be as similar to your normal speaking voice as possible.
Step 10: You can amplify your voice with the sound of a baby saying "wheh".
When you say "wheh," the sound bounces off of your pharynx, making your voice sound louder and almost as if it were coming from your ears.When you feel the sound of "wheh" next to your nose, practice saying it repeatedly.
Step 11: Repetition of "ffft" will engage your core.
To feel it move, press your hands to the sides of your core.Add a "t" sound at the end, almost as if you're saying "foot" without the 'oo' sound.When you make the 'f' sound, feel your stomach and go back out.As you progress, draw out the 'f' to feel your core being engaged.
Step 12: Choose a sound and repeat it, singing a little higher each time.
If the sound has three syllables, you can sing it.The second syllable should be sung in a higher note than the first and third if you want to exercise your voice.
Step 13: There is a place where you can be loud.
You're not going to produce your best sound if you worry about making too much noise or disturbing others.You don't have to hold anything back if you find a spot where you can sing loudly.This could be your room if others aren't home or a music room at a school.
Step 14: You can practice belting in 20-minute intervals a day.
Trying to belt for hours at a time can hurt your voice.For no more than 20 minutes, set a timer.Stop and try again tomorrow if you feel your voice is hurting before the 20 minutes are up.It is possible to practice belting every day, but only for 20 minutes.Singers who are great at belting and analyzing their technique are the best to listen to when resting your voice.You can imagine what it would be like if you were the one belting.
Step 15: Do your whole range.
Sing in both chest and head voice to strengthen and develop your voice.Sing notes from the bottom of your range to the top.
Step 16: Keep your vocal cords relaxed by drinking a lot of water.
Make sure you drink plenty of water and hydration as your vocal cords become dry as you practice belting.Even drinking cold water is better than no water at all because it keeps your vocal cords loose, hydrated and relaxed.gargling salt water or warm tea if your voice starts to hurt.
Step 17: Don't force your voice to be beyond it's capabilities.
Belting should not cause pain to your voice, throat, or any other part of your body.If it hurts while you're practicing, stop and make sure you don't cause any damage.Your voice shouldn't be a problem if you start by practicing exercises and working in small groups.
