I have been STRUGGLING with my belts for the longest time. I know I have the range but I never knew how to properly use it without feeling tight and strained. This was AMAZING it totally changed the game
I swear the like button just doesn't feel enough for your videos! I wanna give likes, hearts, applause, hugs, everything! You are such a great teacher! You always explain it thorough enough for so many different minds to comprehend efficiently. Thank you so much for unselfishly being such a blessing to me personally. I thank God for you and I pray for an abundance of favor and blessings in your life! You are very much appreciated Madeleine 💙
The “yeah’s” is what one of my teachers used call “singing thru the mask”, meaning the sinus cavity, and you can literally feel it buzz. When you add in the AH’s she would tell me to imagine the sound coming thru my top teeth. This is a great description of exactly that! Love it!
I have had several voice teachers and I must say you are so good and easy to understand and follow! I love your workouts! I don't have alot of extra time so having your quick workouts is so helpful!
I used to belt consistently for years then I started singing much more softly the past few years and recently I've been trying to get back to belting like I used to and trying to remember how to belt "properly" and how it's suppose to feel (not hurt or feel strained) and I have been struggling. You explain everything SO well and I already feel everything (in my throat, head, chest) coming back - the exercises are easy to follow and I already feel such a huge difference and more control. Thank you SO much! I'm excited to get back in the studio now and feeling much more confident with my approach using your techniques - you are amazing! ❤🔥✨
Omg … I completely echo your sentiment … this video was life changing … I have been searching for weeks for a comprehensive video on belting. This is the best one I’ve found.
Ms. Madeleine, you do a fantastic job of describing why 'this or that' is done. I had taken classic voice training years ago, based on the same principles of singing, but not as thorough. Thx. little pixie :)
I wish I could hit that like button over and over again! This exercise has helped me sooooo much, that I’ve included it in my practice. Thank you so much Madeleine for your great work. 💜
Hey Madeleine! Love your style of teaching. I have been watching all of your lessons starting from the oldest and I have been learning a lot. I was hoping you could do a video on how to growl(the kind of growling in your "If it Hadn't Been for Love" video). There's a lot of misinformation across platforms on how to do this and trying it out by myself feels risky cause I know if it's not done the right way, it can damage the voice. Looking forward to it
I really enjoy your videos. I studied under a great teacher Sue Harmon. Your videos take me back to her lessons. They aren't pretty arpeggios but sounds ,usually ugly, and feeling the voice placement. All my singing friends look at me crazy when I do my warm ups. But they work. Also I was a tuba player turned vocalist. I have always pressurized and run out of air fast because that is what happens when playing tuba. I need to find an in-between for breath control for long phrases. I'd love any advice. The hardest song for breath control I ever did was "Spossa son Disprezzata" attributed to Vivaldi. It was elen measures at a medium speed. It was hit and miss. Keep up the healthy singing advice. Love it!
Thank you so much for contributing to my channel! I'm so glad to hear that these lessons are helping you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your vocal journey!
Hey Madeleine! I was enjoying some past videos you've got on doing the "Alien voice" for belting. I'm curious did you end up retiring those exercises or do you still recommend them? Thank you so much
1. chipmunk pressurized pursed lip blow 2. yuck, pressure goes up not out of mouth 3. yea, teeth closed, soft palate pulls back 4.yea uhhh open jaw but keep pressure up through nose 5.
Wow!!! I am hitting notes that I didn't know I could hit - without my voice breaking! I have an audition tomorrow ("No Time At All" from Pippin) and I need to belt and hit some high notes. I found you just in time! Thank you!
HI Madeleine, to my understanding, we need to have a full support from the diaphragm that generate compressed air to vibrate the vocal cord for a clean, projected sound. would you please clarify and explain how it is different from this practice you are teaching us to belt? You are emphasizing the highly pressurized air when belting. Thanks a lot.
If there r breaks in daily vocal practice , what to do , to maintain and improve the quality of singing? Pl explain beat , pitch , frequency, chord , in simple terms. Regards.
I would LOVE LOVE see a video on how to properly project over a band without shouting. Is there a brand of microphone that helps ??? This is sooooo frustrating when working with sound people. Ugh…
Can u say that YAAAAAAAAK - 1) is a type of vibrato 2) is same as saying SAAA and PAA vowels , which have no soft version in seveñ main notes in Indian classical music ?
With the super horizontal mouth position/teeth almost shut (I’m classically trained so this feels foreign to me!), how do you avoid tension in the neck? Perhaps my neck is just tight, but I find when I do this position it creates tension down there and it feels like my larynx is fighting to rise despite supporting well. Is there anything I am doing wrong with this ?

You’re right this IS a game changer!! Thank you Madeleine!! I love you so much! 🩵💙💜
Is it ok to go slightly into mixed voice? I notice after G I can no longer stay in full chest voice - is this ok? Is this still considered belting?

I've used this video so many times to warm up, it's so fantastic! Thank you!
Wow! Thank you for the love! I'm so happy that you're enjoying it. Happy singing!
I finally felt pressure without strain! My gosh took forever!
Good timing. I was just thinking about doing a vocal warmup
I have had several voice teachers and I must say you are so good and easy to understand and follow! I love your workouts! I don't have alot of extra time so having your quick workouts is so helpful!

Omg … I completely echo your sentiment … this video was life changing … I have been searching for weeks for a comprehensive video on belting. This is the best one I’ve found.
This is so enlightening! Added a new sound to my voice right away,
I really love these exercises that just glide all over and that require good breath work.
Really great execises, thank you!!

Thanks Madeleine! You're an excellent teacher. It's easy to visualize what you're explaining. New sub here!

Love your videos! 😍
I love your new hairstyle!!
This is great, thanks! :)
Can we do the first exercise with a singing straw?
Quick question, do I have to do this all in my chest voice???
If there r breaks in daily vocal practice , what to do , to maintain and improve the quality of singing?
Pl explain beat , pitch , frequency, chord , in simple terms.
Regards.
I love the new intro! It is so fitting!
This was really helpful! The last exercise kinda makes my throat tickle, though - am I doing it wrong?
Your warm up is amazing!! But ihave question, what if my voice shaking when it’s high note ? Should i keep practicing this to make it more stable?
Sister , whether belting is used in all songs , across the globe ?
you are the bestttttttt
im trynna be a good student, but the YUCK got me dying yall 😭😭
I would LOVE LOVE see a video on how to properly project over a band without shouting. Is there a brand of microphone that helps ??? This is sooooo frustrating when working with sound people. Ugh…
Can u say that YAAAAAAAAK -
1) is a type of vibrato
2) is same as saying SAAA and PAA vowels , which have no soft version in seveñ main notes in Indian classical music ?
i need this teacher in my life! i
I can't help but "distort" my voice when doing the YEAA exercises... any tip please? It happens more often when changing from YE to A
Wow!!! Cool!!!!!
How did you even conceive this? Gonna work on this! Thanks!!!
Finally finished the video! Very nice. Thank you.
Damn that intro goes in hard
Is my throat supposed to hurt a little? And I get a tickling in my throat which makes me cough?
With the super horizontal mouth position/teeth almost shut (I’m classically trained so this feels foreign to me!), how do you avoid tension in the neck?
