Handle any emergency with Howcast’s First Aid app – howc.st Learn how to belt out a song without ruining your voice in this pop singing tutorial. Expert: Cari Cole Video transcript: Hi I’m Cari Cole. I’m a celebrity vocal coach and artist development expert. And I help artist find their voice, craft their music, and create successful music careers. I’ve worked with Donald Fagen from Steely Dan, Courtney Love from Hole, I’ve worked with the band Journey. I’m going to teach you how to be a better singer and performer So I’m going to show you how to belt without ruining your voice. The first thing to understand is that it doesn’t require a lot of force to belt. So when we think of belting, we think of a lot of impact and a lot of force. Unfortunately that causes problems here. So with a singer you want to get a deeper breath because breath is what fuels the voice. So number one, breath. Number two, don’t hit the sound so hard. Number three, keep the mouth more open. So these are three things you can do right away to start belting without straining the vocal instrument. You also want to practice vocal exercises so your voice gets stronger. Your voice gets stronger as you sing and as you practice. Vocal exercises are really a focused way that you can make changes in the physical voice and get stronger because ultimately the stronger your voice the more you can belt with ease. If I sing the word stay, I’m going to sing – STAY [sing]. OK. Now when I sang that I didn’t go – STAY

    He is educated in singing but his voice sounds like Cinderela’s prince. He doesn’t have a great voice.

    What an amazing interview but the singing was too short. Would love to hear the whole song. Hope the next time on TV we get a change to hear more of the singing.

    Wow. I know I felt the difference instantly. It sounds much cleaner, more powerful, and just all around better. Very well explained and demonstrated, thank you.

    oh my goodness, I know soo many people that sing and try to belt out and later they keep complaining that their throat hurts or they are really out of breath….You put it into great terms and I hope many people watch these videos of yours to understand the proper way of singing
