Belting
Belting is a specific technique of singing, where you mix lower and upper resonances in the right
proportions, resulting in a sound that resembles yelling but is actually a controlled, sustained
phonation (Source: Wikipedia).

Why belt?

- you don’t have to: some voices are naturally good at low humming jazz songs or gentle folk,
but not natural belters
- Belting gives your voice an edge
- your voice cuts through more, more noticeable

If you’re interested in training your belting voice, there are tons of Youtube videos on belting
technique. If in doubt, pick a singer whose voice resembles yours, and train a little each day.

To feel the tingle in your fingers,
That we got this far
To feel the tingle in your feet,
And can you feel the love tonight?

Go, go, go!
Believe the very best
Tell them everything you know.

To feel The Rhythm Of Life,
All the shine of a thousand spotlights To feel the powerful beat,
All the stars we steal from the night sky To feel the tingle in your fingers,
Will never be enough To feel the tingle in your feet,
Never be enough

Towers of gold are still too little Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
These hands could hold the world but it'll Take a dive and swim to Daddy,
