How To Belt - Belting Techniques - Voice Tutorial - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
Some have referred to me as: "The King Of Belt."
Even if only a small percentage of those that say that are true, it may buy me the right to share with you my views on belting.
I have been "belting" safely for over 30 years (and show no signs of slowing) 
I emphasize this because those that belt incorrectly, eventually lose their voices altogether.
As I demonstrate in this video, there is a right way and a wrong way to belt.
Belt the wrong way and you will have a very short-lived singing career.
I also see a glut of people on the internet (i.e. KZbin etc.) telling people their philosophies on belting.
Funny thing is, they can neither belt themselves, nor do they display students belting.
Be very leery and careful of that.
Don't go to a guitar teacher who can't show you how to play guitar.
Go to a guitar teacher who is a master at his craft, and he can show you something.
The same applies to singing lessons.
Please enjoy this video tutorial. I hope you find it useful.

[@markokecman1177]

How can I practice this without my neighbors thinking I'm a lunatic?

[@kentamplin]

Too late. They already know.

[@InternalizedSun]

Every time I hear a kid singing out loud while they walk or ride by our house I always get that nice warming feeling of how I used to just sing, sing, sing whenever I was alone (or with a band of course) in my teens and it makes me so happy to see that kids these days do exactly the same and just don’t mind what others think of them until they see you and they stop singing from being a little shy after all. So whenever they stop because of seeing me I always encourage them to keep singing because “it sounds nice” or “I love what you’re doing” or “Let it out and be free - it’s the best way to become the best” or stuff like that.. Today when I hear them singing and they then see me they do give a tiny smile away and perhaps a little laugh, but they do try to keep singing all the way down the road. So know that you might think that others find you being a lunatic, but we we/they just might actually admire you and enjoy that you are getting better and better with time - unfortunately sometimes in silence! - Rock on! BTW: My neighbors always turn down their radios whenever I practice or record (singing or an instrument)... they say - it’s way better and more interesting than what is on the radio - so I’m not the only one giving encouragement to others! 👍

[@martijndegroot1593]

@@InternalizedSun damn man, i never thought about it that way! I was always very shy about singing.

[@_JayRamsey_]

I was always so shy about singing. Always choked during semi-professional recording sessions. Finally becoming okay with singing without a guitar in my hands or a band behind me at the age of 27. I wish I'd dealt with my anxiety earlier, there are a lot of missed opportunities there. I'll try to remember to encourage anyone I hear singing in public from now on.

Ken said some"controlling air". For a few days many years ago, I had something like laryngitis - where my speaking voice was muted. I found that I could sing like crazy! No voice cracking when I went for a high note (for me). It was an awesome feeling. I will have to search Ken's channel for material on air control.

Hey, Ken! A belted shout out from Brazil thanks to you! I've always loved singing but never gave myself the chance to dive into it. I am 34 now and i actually just began singing lessons for the 1st time about a month ago, i'm full on amateur, but lets see what happens. Besides, i can belt now! It's not that great yet, but i can feel it's becoming more and more natural. Thank you very much!

[@kentamplin]

Keep at is, Loah Frota!

[@renegadetenor]

Good for you.....I couldn't do it well enough to get paid, until I was 50. So go for it!

[@drvren030]

I REALLY like how he pointed out the case with ladies. I honestly could NOT agree more (that is, based on my experience). I've REALLY been struggling with this. I have a naturally raspy voice anyway, but when I go into the high notes, like, A4 onwards, this sort of fear takes over of whether ill sound pitchy, and so I end up losing that rasp and sort of husk, and it just sounds very head voicey and breathy. Thank you SO MUCH KEN, for pointing out something that I have not seen almost ANY other vocal coach out there point out. I'm feeling a lot more confident; I guess I'll prioritize the support and the strength of the higher register first, and then work on pitch. Again, Ken , i honestly can't thank you enough for clearing up a question I've been having for YEARS now!

Thank you SO much for the great belting tips and exercises! I have a vocal performance degree as a classically trained soprano, but for the life of me I've always had such a hard time finding my "belting" voice- I switch so quickly to my head voice as soon as it gets too high for my chest voice. Turns out I've sacrificed it at the altar of the high note..! I'm working on becoming more stylistically flexible as I want to sing more pop/musical theater styles. Thanks again- you really know your stuff!!

[@JDChicago]

I yelled at he/she for stealing my murse......haha. Ken's such a spititually connected guy....transformatonal vocabulary is how he weaves into metaphor and knowledge as seemless as his actual vocalizing. Love him.

[@virginiaribis2070]

Nice, nice, nice on belting. In college I had a teacher that reminded very much of this. He wanted us to project from our chest to the back of the theater. I learned to use it in singing. It seems that some of the arts cross over.😊

[@kentamplin]

For sure!

Hey Ken ! First of all: I love your videos ! Second: Do you know the bands Shinedown and Halestorm? Pretty sure you do. I would love to know what singing technique they use and what it’s called when they .. kinda .. it’s hard to describe this sound. It sounds like when you clear your throat. It’s a very deep and strong sound. Listen to Shinedowns cover of Simple Man. (When he sings: “...you love and understand”) or other songs, he does it all the time. I am so impressed by this and I really want to learn this technique, I can only do this (in the slightest way tho) when I’m not swallowing and there’s saliva in my throat but it feels not right. Could you explain that? A video lesson (someday) would be awesome ! Keep rockin 🤘 greetings from Germany

I'm not saying I go into everything with little to no effort... but it seems I'm a natural to some sports and some I'm not.. but when it comes to singing it seems I have a natural ability to sing.. now I have smoked and haven't taken care of my vocal chords at all but during karaoke nights from when sober to getting a buzz at this bar the bartender didn't drink at all but he says I have a natural ability to sing and that I should focus on it.. but I'm a lifetime cook.. and will always cook.. but continuously get told I should try out for some singing shows.. I've thought about posting videos of me at either karaoke or just at home and singing acapella

[@SanderClasen]

Hi Ken, I've got a question. I try to difference between twang and belt. What I know is that twang has two variants oral twang and nasal twang and the resonance in the first is in the teeth and in the second in the nose.... And It seems to me that belting is like a louder variation of oral twang... Could you clear me this question? Thanks Ken you give so much help with your videos already.

[@the.bobbybass]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! I’m a low bass so I’ve been looking into belting more so I can keep up with the other male voices haha

[@kentamplin]

That's one way to get a few more notes up the scale! Just be sure to follow the information I gave in the video about shedding the weight... and keep a governor on the volume, too.

[@allisonfoye5003]

Call register sacrificed at the alter of the high note... WOW YES! 10 years of vocal training it was pushing the highs higher and tone and breath control but no learning how to sing THROUGH low to high. My voice has been parked in the garage for 20 years because I could sing up high and way down low but nothing in between so I thought I was just not "talented" or "built" to sing the songs I wanted outside of choral/classical music. I'm trying to tune the car back up I have some hope I can actually learn to do this.

[@redklok585]

I thought having a really deep baritone voice was a curse, but this stuff here helps me hit notes in a higher register without killing my voice. After years of singing and playing, I'm basically relearning how to sing all over again. My problem is my guitar's body against my diaphragm seems to cut my voice short. I feel like i'm at a crossroads of guitar or vocals only, but i can't choose. If i lower the guitar strap, i can't play as well, but if i raise it to where i can play, i can't sing properly from the weight. It's a dilemma I've been battling for years. I wish i could find a happy medium so i can sing and play. This is probably a lot of lead singers don't plat instruments while singing and performing.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

"Not 'having' to do scales is a sales technique." lol. my *ALL-TIME* favorite singing lie is "so-n-so sings 7 octaves." A, that's a whole piano, so they clearly dont know what an octave IS. It's the 12 half steps or notes from say C4 to C5. The best of the best have a few octaves and some change. That's like Steve Perry, the late Brad Delp (Boston) and the late Jimi Jameson (Survivor). B, if you COULD do this (and nobody can),its TOTALLY unnecessary. Nothing is written for all 7 octaves on one voice, nor ANY voices.

Excellent videos Ken. You might want to use a different microphone set up for the videos-it sounds like the mic is too far away from you. Just a suggestion.

Just stumbled upon your channel in the last couple days. Blown away. My voice is naturally pitched really similar to you. I too have expanded my depth, finesse, and range over my life singing. I dig that you teach correct ways to do things Bel Cantos consider no no. I like head voice cause there's nothing false about it, a term I never heard as a young singer. I spent a long time crushed in my baritone box even after figuring out for myself how to sing like Geddy Lee when I was 16. Too much tension, so I lost that in my 20's and 30's, been getting it back with grace and power learning how to build it on my big belly breath. Thanks again for sharing your channel. I been doing all these things, learning bird song too. Then comes you, illuminating greater awareness of what I naturally sense. Had I a teacher like you when I was 16, maybe it wouldn't have taken so long to get back into my full range.

OK! Now I'm ready to go out and tackle some Ian Gillan vocals!! Or, maybe not 🙄

[@kentamplin]

Awesome! Rock on!

[@lisetremblay1806]

Again, pretty good explainations. Step by step, it's the key.

[@sarahusman6123]

This smile on your face speaks of your achievements! So good to have your channel on KZbin. I been practicing with ur teaching. I am amazed!

[@kentamplin]

I'm glad to have you here, Sarah! Thanks!

I love female belters with rich and round vibratos, especially when they stay true to a song's melody and don't use runs and riffs. I wish that kind of singing didn't go out of fashion, but it seems like it has. I love your work. Thank you, Ken.

[@kentamplin]

Rock on!

[@shawnstanley8748]

Please please please.......Anything Phil Collins. OMG I would be indebted to you! I am a huge fan of yours Ken. To say I idolize Phil Collins is an understatement. He is multi talented and not just anybody is worthy of him, except for you!!!!! My top request would be " I wish it would rain down" . His friend Eric Clapton played on it as well. Unbelievable vocals on it. You'll nail it Ken .

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for the request, Shawn! And thanks for the vote of confidence!

Ken Tamplin I started out doing low and high pitched screaming kinda like George corpse grinder Fisher from cannibal corpse for example and now I started singing with my clear voice about 2 years ago and managed to do both. I always put it down to breathing techniques and before I start singing I practice using throat singing to warm up and harmonizing for pitch and volume I don't know if this the right thing to do ?

[@christopherjhunvallez5742]

where the proof is in "singing"... Correct! 😁

[@nerusonsanzenin2786]

Scales... HA! I've pretty much been obsessed with music all my life started playing piano and percussion at 10, guitar, bass at 13 etc... I'm 29... I've dedicated damn near two thirds of my life to lady music... I still have to do ALL the warm up exercises EVERY time. It's so easy to prove to yourself. Shouldn't even be a debate. We all NEED practice.

[@kentamplin]

Rock on! 😀👍

[@fuzzywuzzy588]

I played the violin for yrs was pretty good ,so i do know you have to practice and do scales always .

[@kentamplin]

All forms of music require practice if you want to really improve!

[@plazmatic954]

Hey Ken, I'm 15 years old and ever since my voice changed, I am able to go below the staff for bass clef but have trouble hitting a little bit of a higher range. Most of your videos, is there any way I can expand my higher range while keeping my ability to nail the lower notes?

[@kentamplin]

Plazmatic, if you train your upper registers, you will retain your low end, BUT you have to warm it up before accessing it once you have built it. So if you're going to sing a very low song, you need to warm up on low-extending exercises. You will momentarily lose access to your highest notes when you do that. The reverse is true, as well. Warm up your highest notes, and you may momentarly not have access to your lowest notes, because they won't be "actively warmed up". It's much more difficult to try to go from your lowest to your highest notes, within the same song. It's kind of impractical, because that will give you an amazingly wide range, but you'll sacrifice a little bit on top and a little bit on the bottom. It makes the most sense to warm up the whole voice, and to train it to go as low as you can and as high as you can, and then focus on warmups for the immediate task at hand. It's just a little bit impractical to try to sing the entire possible range all of the time. You can build up a tremendously versatile voice a great deal of range at hand.

Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Sounds good. Thanks Ken!
