Advanced Belting Techniques: Coordinating the voice to communicate the human experience!
Thursday 5th June 2025, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
All voice types can belt, and there’s more than one kind of belting, but in introductory settings, it’s tough to cover every nuance that comes with training both aspiring and experienced belters. This course dives into several elements that are rarely addressed together: developing agility and stamina, understanding the differences between light, medium, and heavy voices, exploring how open and closed vowels support circles of energy, and working with twangy, neutral, and warm vocal qualities. We’ll also look at how to coordinate the voice so that psychological gesture naturally leads to the appropriate vocal quality for each moment of a song.
By helping students access the full range of their belt voice, teachers empower them to move beyond the stereotype of belting. With these tools in hand, singers are better prepared for the real world of performance—where every creative team has its own vision, and the singer’s job is to adapt to meet that vision.

Dr David Juncos
