Belting Should Feel Like This
Вставка

- I'm Madeline Harvey. Thank you for hanging out with me today. I would make a quick video for you all of what a singing belt feels like when you sing? We're going to create the conditions for a healthy singing belt to not only be recognized, but also developed and in balance. So if you like today's video, please be sure to give it a thumbs up or click that subscribe on below. I would love to see you here more often.
So when we talk about belting, what we're really talking about, technically speaking, is the relationship between air pressure and cord tension. Those are the two components that are both intensified when you belt, slightly exaggerated, but they must seek balance. If not, we close with grip, we scream. And those are all areas that make building a little bit more of a challenge. So we're going to go into these two components today. Air pressure caused tension. Now, when we talk about air pressure, which is really the secret to good balanced melting and the secret to vocal power, what we mean more so about. It's not more er it's more er pressure, so what you don't want to do is take a gigantic breath that will pressurize your body way too much past its resting capacity and your body will hate that is going to get it out of you, it's going to shove it out of you and that turns into shouting and screaming very, very, very quickly. So it's not about how much er it's about how much air pressure and of tomato tomato. But we're going to get into that and let's get into this now. So we're going to use a consonant, a stop consonant as a way of building interior pressure. But what I want you to focus on is not only feeling it but containing it. OK, so we'll get into that in just a second, but we're going to start by saying a B consonant. We're going to line up as if we're going to say the B consonant, but we're not going to quite say it. This is called a stop consonant. It allows us to exaggerate some air pressure and feel it very pointed and very ready to go. So this will give you your first condition for a nice belt. Exaggerate that air pressure. So let's let's go to say B, but we're not going to say it. We're just going to. Yeah, President. Now, can you feel that that air pressure is ready, very focused and intensified as ready to go right there on the lips? Good. Now let's watch our diaphragm. Go ahead. So your baby don't say or B. Yeah, do you feel a diaphragm lift like it means business, very intense, committed engage from the center of the body? Let's go ahead and say that, not say that, but pretend to say that again. Ready?
Wow thank you. While playing around with this I just sang a F#5 without even trying. And after a bit of practice I can reach it almost every time. Before this video I was stuck at E5 for quite some time. Thank you soooo much. I'm an alto so I'm super proud of myself 😍
I totally relate to this because I have a struggle with the way I have to belt out is because I don't always have the confidence in myself to prove myself to do it that's why most people keep telling me to not be self doubting myself but my anxiety keeps kicking in
You can do this!
@@salmonjeez3903 aww thx so much your so sweet
I've got the same issue. what helps me is knowing I sound better belting out instead of caving into the anxiety. I like to make it a competition in my head and prove to people what I can do.
@@celestemorgan606 oh thx for being so sweet and generous and thx for the encouragement
I felt this.. I’m trying hard to overcome that anxiety!!
Your channel has the BEST singing content. Without doubt!
Thanks so much
I agree, she a stunnah
Please never stop producing singing content!!
I have been getting back into music and singing again after 8 years and I am glad I found you. You are an amazing coach ♥️♥️

You really help! Your words are crystal clear!
Your videos are such great resources, thank you for sharing!
Was able to belt like never before thanks to you. Thank you.
Thank you dear Madeline,
Another valuable lesson shared. Very powerful.

Thank you for uploading, Madeleine, you’re cool!
You're seriously a GOOD vocal teacher thank you so much
I literally watched your videos like everyday! and You have helped me sooo much since September!!! You're like a vocal magician!
Madeleine, I love your channel. The videos are very helpful and you have a great talent for explaining things. Very sympathetic, wonderful, fantastic! I'm your very grateful follower.
You just read my mind again.
Been strugling with belting for a while.thanks
Madeline, you sing like an Angel.
Absolutely love your videos!
Ur a blessing! Thanks for your videos it has improved my singing skills drastically.
I love the way you explain it.
Thank you Madeleine. I have never watched one of your videos that I didn't learn something. Something new, something helpful, something to make me better....
Waw ! This instruction opens lot of scope for experimentation with sound generation. Thank you !
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I've been teaching voice for over ten years (and taking lessons for... a lot longer) and had always been told to use my lower abs! I started using and teaching this higher support this week and WOW. It's made a HUGE difference in both my musical theatre and classical students!
OMG you're explaining it so well! Not a singer myself but you make me wanna learn how to control my cords! just WoW!!!
wow i watched a lot of vocal teaching videos but yours is the one that helped me the most. Quick and precise.
Oh my goodness! Had to come back and tell you.. This single lesson has helped me so much with sounding fuller and broke me out of shy belting. After practicing this most of today I scared myself and started laughing/ crying while dancing around after the sound I made from practicing this over and over. Im 40 years old and just last year while swaying and singing my son to sleep realized I might be better at singing than I thought. And now a year later I'm finally looking into learning more about my voice and I'm loving it and I'm loving your videos and thank you so much for what are you are doing for free because I would never be able to afford in person lessons.
Your videos are very good. Thank you. Appreciate the great effort.
Your teaching are v v sweet and easy to take in , I have learned a lot just free.
love your singing advice so helpful and clear ♥
Great video Madeleine on belting. I love the "Love" dress too. - Justice Constantine
So helpful! Thanks!
You are an amazing teacher. Truly. Thank you!
Isn’t she!! I think I’ve found the vocal teacher I’ve been looking for and, I’ve been trying out a lot of different teachers lately.
Very informative, love it.
Thanks so much ma.I'm really grateful.
Thank you for explaining it so well! It is so useful to know what it should feel like 😁
Thank you so much for your excellent and concise lessons!
My voice teacher recently told me that she’s never heard me sing in chest voice, and even though this lesson is about belting, I felt as if I could apply this technique while singing with a true chest voice placement.
You are a wonderful teacher, and I really appreciate you!
I am a voice and piano teacher and I hope it is okay if my students use your videos to practice at home. You are the best teacher at techniques that I have found on UA-cam. Thank you for explaining so well your techniques!
I literally ‘like’ all of your videos before I even watch them because I know each one is gonna be as helpful as the one before it. You’ve helped me SO tremendously, thank you for everything you do!
I'm slowly developing the ability to hopefully belt and this is a video I always needed! 💜
YAY YOU'RE BACK
Another video!! awesome
I just love her!!
You are awesome 🙏😊
Beautiful
I like your lessons a lot - greatings from Germany
Awesome ! 👍
Excellent video.
Love your outfit and the 💄
This is soooo helpful, TY TY!!!!
This has definitely been a struggle for me. I got back into solo singing last July and I definitely need to work on my belting as I accompany myself on the piano and I struggle to be heard over myself. I'm definitely going to be trying these exercises
Fab teacher!!!
Thank you😊
Amazing.
you are the best, thank u so much
You haven't heard anything until you've heard Misty Mountains by Peter Hollens and Tim Fouse.
Trust me it's to die for. 👍🍻😇😊
I’m one minute in reading the comments and I’m so excited to see this video lol. I’m 24 I been singing for a long time and really really belting has always made me anxious but I know I can do it. I have literally had dreams where I’m belting and I can feel it 😂
Thank you Medellin
First time I could belt without straining my voice
Can't wait to try this
Thanks a lot master
Diaphragmatic breathing is one of the most overlooked things in singing, great job.
Wow I going try this
The best intro i've seen
Thank you
Great. I always doubt what is the difference between mix and belt. Now I feel belt at the lower position than mix to be more chesty and fuller.
B to pressure
6:06 e. 6:47. 8:00. I really admire you 🤗. You're awesome.
Wait is that H and lou in your pfp?
@@heraday yeah. It was a picture of Harry and Louis
2:45 b exercise
4:00 resonance exercise
6:45 bih exercise
7:50 musical bih exercise
exaggerate air pressure like doing heavy mouth gulping before belting live? afterwards if the belt is done halfway through concert and shes lara fabian or perrie edwards would she be breathing real hard through mouth? or just cant do belting as powerful as she could in studio?
example lara fabian i will love again.
Wow, before when I tried, my throat was so tight and pressured but now my throat feels much better and I don’t sound like I’m getting choked or my throat sound really restrained.
I really am enjoying your channel. I was wondering if you would do Tom MacDonald "Castles". I would love to here your prospective on him.
Anymore cause I want to more vocal warm ups
This is partially related but I have a question. I have pectus excavatum, pretty mild, but I have a hard time using my sternum muscles to sing. Is it still possible for me to excel as a vocalist with this condition?
I would recommend doing diaphragm exercises to boost your support, since that's what I imagine you struggle with most. Breathwork exercises will also help. Practice holding comfortable notes (within your tessitura) for as long as you possibly can in rapid intervals. Both these tyoes of exercises are readilt available right here on UA-cam. I recommend the Aussie Vocal Coach for vocal power, agility and sustenance exercises.
I hope my advice helps you in some way!
Yes 👍
Hello Madleine thanks for your great lessons. I have a question about vocal range. I think I am a mezzo as a colour of my voice, but because of my range I suppose I am a alto as I have no sound at all after a Bb5, and even at a A my sound is not consistent. Does it mean that these are my physiological limits?
Is this in head voice? If so, it may be possible that you aren't feeling head voice properly. I am a tenor and I can barely get out a B5 (I literally sound like a squeaking mouse up there). It feels like I'm forcing mixed voice higher than I should, is this what you're feeling?
@@stevengrantofthegiftshop1549 it is in my head voice. After Bflat 5 I am voiceless comoletely. I just wanted to know if someone has the same expérience of no sound at all qfter a certain pitch
@@monicaconsigliereLavieenfleur ohhhh that’s interesting, hope you get your answer soon! 👍
@@monicaconsigliereLavieenfleur you're probably breaking into flageolet/whistle register at that point!!
Lovely video but I can't belt higher notes to save my life. I go to head voice and to be honest it feels soooo much smoother and pleasant in my throat - but it's not a belt. :-( It is as if at a certain point my chest voice literally just doesn't want to go any
further up and there is nothing I can do about it...
Can you teach how to close the vocal cords properly?
I'm not sure I'm doing the first "hold the air with B sound" exercise right. I know how to push down on my stomach (I think diaphragm). Is it the same as that? I also found one other less intense sensation right above the stomach, like kind of between stomach and chest. But not sure about that feeling. Can anyone provide any more guidance? I'm really bad about finding the right body sensations or knowing if I have it right, but I'm determined and I've been working at this for many years.
6:54 Me whenever I'm about done with someone, but then I remember I mustn't curse...
Very good and very easy to understand which is half the bottle in learning.
My neighbor thought I was having an attack of hiccups
Seems great let's see how it works 😅
It works 🎉❤😅
Hey coach my problem is with holding the high notes, I can belt up to C5# but I can't really hold it for a long time and it's because I run out of breath so fast when I'm over the A4 , can you give me any advice that can help me with that
Add some compression, and release a bit slowly. You probably won't be at C5# anymore, maybe a step or half step lower but you will sure hold it longer, nice practice and take care buddy
I have a problem where I fart when I belt ...what should I do about that?
Put a wine stopper up your butt, it might hurt but to make an omelette you gotta break some eggs
@@viictor1309 What if it pops right out due to the sheer force and shoots someone in the face in the audience?
@@seemal101 that's why you should never turn your back on audience
@@rattenkonig6303 but booty shake and singing go well together :(
@@seemal101 booty shaking engage different muscles so wine stopper is firm in this case
I just wanna sing decode like a fucking pro
I tooted while doing the step consonant
I can belt but I don't have a good breath support😭
This made me burp
Yellting)
Dear teacher, unfortunately I ve already watch soooooooooo!@@@@ many videos; yes you can do it in a minute...many - except extraordinary teachers and vocals couch ...show exactly" the same ; few demontration that really work - less few, but a great " bla, bla, bla...that include " anatomy" classes...😢 and all kind of " Natural Geogra😂phic" animals sounds; without result ..please....😅😢😢
