How to BELT (How to Find It, How to FEEL It) Know That You're Doing It Right! Avoid Strain.

[@philincelmo9637]

I struggled for years with not being able to get that "fullness" to my voice & I kid you not after trying this out for like 20 minutes I nailed it. You're a legend man & your instructions are top notch, huge thanks.

[@chrisliepe]

Glad I could help! You're so welcome!

[@L2_Impart]

@@chrisliepe I accidentally found my own belt harmonics technique. Very Bright, without needing to: sound nasal/twangy, With Support up to A4. Just lack of vocal support, the exact technique. And I didn't know that the thing that i was doing was actually correct. Lmao

[@L2_Impart]

(Lack of vocal support is here because I don't use my poop muscles 😂)

[@reigaming7564]

can i asl, where is the position of “Poop Muscles”?

[@FableFrenzy]

When you still can't belt, but learn to use poop muscle better.

[@quinnw4398]

When you not only fail to belt but also accidentally shit yourself

[@Theviewerdude]

Thanks Chris, now my poops are POWERFUL

[@EnDeRBeaT]

Ok, so when practicing your line is 'I've finally crapped my paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaants!'

[@chieftigmos4018]

We should all start a club

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Great tutorial. I have learned over the years from great singers and beginners that the consummate belter has to be confident. You have to be mentally willing to go there. Belting is a place to go to in your voice. Many voice teachers discourage it, because they themselves never learned to do it.

[@chrisliepe]

Well articulated!

[@DiscountDaveGrohl]

Awesome video! I found my belt this morning in the armchair in my front room. Who the hell is the one person that thumbs down all of your videos? Ken Tamplin???🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the great, easy to follow content!

[@cullenkenneth5980]

Unhelpful place to leave your belt, mate

[@NiniRockX]

Ken Tamplin doesn't need that. He is amazing. I think the best. This man is rock n roll. I just found Chris channel here. And i think he is great too. We always learn something new from everyone out there. That's the nice thing about the internet today.

[@michaelbowe8455]

I like Ken as a person and I did his course, but Chris Liepe is the real deal for me. Chris explains and demonstrates in an effortless, clear way (whereas Ken sounded like he was straining and I didn't always follow in my body what he was trying to teach me). FYI since doing lots of videos with Chris and just 1/3 of his vocal course, I've added 3 notes to low and 8 notes to my previous range :-) Thanks Chris!

[@RealRealBlu]

Lmao @ Ken Tamplin 😂

[@arturmalachowski8949]

You sure sound a lot like Chris Cornell while belting. Not all belters have that timbre.

[@bustercherry8734]

lol go outside to do the "over there!"'s. The whole neighborhood is gonna be looking over there.

Or if you live in an area where there's hiking, it makes for some interesting reactions as well :)

I love these self written examples of what the subject of the video is . "i finally found my belt!!" just like that confounded bridge. This channel rules!

[@BradCross1982]

My favorite belter, and vocalist to be honest..... Layne Staley

[@dmccarroll5938]

the absolute best

[@dannydunne]

This technique is 100% correct, it’s great to hear someone actually acknowledging that belt or the ‘calling sound’, can be used efficiently and without causing strain or vocal damage. The key is to not push the sound too much. Let it resonate. Don’t feel like you have to add extra volume…because this sound quality is already loud, even though the singer can’t necessarily hear that. This vocal placement is yelling. It’s a primal sound that we use to get someone’s attention. I find it complicates things when you think you are ‘singing’. It’s a sustained calling quality. However, postural support is essential, as you ascend higher. You need to support your voice using your body. Lift your chest up just a little, so your diaphragm isn’t collapsed and keep a straight alignment from your head/ear, right down throughout your body. You’ll feel your back and abdominal muscles engage to support the weight of the head. If you watch someone suddenly call or yell at someone, you’ll notice how their body naturally lifts itself into that position, to properly support the voice.

[@mintmikasa]

One of the only channels that actually combines realistic ways to practice with a detailed explanation of how it's supposed to work and feel. :) Thanks!

[@lannythe6741]

You really have an interesting way of teaching.Very clear,easy to understand and u give us how to achieve it in a real way,not just theory.

[@wixxtah]

Im a guitarist not a singer. But somehow ive watched almost all your tutorials 😂 might go to the rehersal space and sing 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@leomagat7407]

Thank you for your selflessness and generosity in teaching & sharing. 🎶 "Over There" ...sensation in the mouth and nose, relaxed jaw.

[@cacohenriquez]

Remember: it's about resonance, about placing of the SOUND. Don't put stress on your chin, lips and don't forget to oversupport the air.

[@AndresSanchez-wy5pi]

Thank you Chris... I'm really improving my vocal skills with your videos, like never before. I've been singing for about 15 years but not with the right techniques. I quited singing because of my job for about 3 years, and I went back to singing on the last year. But trust me, with your tutorials, I'm way better than before, and still learning. Thaks man. Saludos desde Colombia!

[@cheallen1626]

I have learned more in the last 2 days, watching and trying out these techniques, than I have in many years of "singing". Thanks!!

[@rainstrife]

I've got: "over there" stuck in my head now, lol xD

[@cheddrchad]

its also about making space for your words in your mouth.... for example an e for an o ( over there, over thore ) from what i understand.

[@DanSainz]

You should teach us how to vibrato like that, your videos are so good.

[@Shougun2007]

I took your tip one step further and placed an actual ball in my mouth. I had to tie it down to keep it from falling out. Now I can’t sing but my master is happy.

[@chrisliepe]

So glad! Thanks for sharing this!

[@maverickpanda]

once you've figured out how to do a certain vocal technique, how do you replicate it again the next day?

[@chrisliepe]

Learn to be intensely intuitive and introspective while you're singing so you, out of habit, remember how things FEEL. Oh, and record yourself ALL THE TIME and listen back to it!

[@vegeta1885]

Remember it, there is no secret around it. If you explore something new don't over exercise and lose your voice that day. If you think have found a new stairstep, do it a few times more 5-10 times and give it a rest until tomorrow. Singing is all about muscle memory, listen to your body what YOU feel when you are doing that, remember that feeling.

[@damian.gamlath]

[@youngp1nk]

Hey Chris, I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now and you're far and away the best online singing teacher I've found. I even took in-person lessons a few years ago and while it was helpful, I feel like your teaching style just clicks with me. Maynard James Keenan and Chester Bennington being two of my biggest singing inspirations, I also really appreciate you covering some of their techniques. Look forward to more, keep it up!

Wow, man. Thanks for this and it's just amazing how, after long-long years of my constant searching for understanding belting, you pop this video up and provide the ultimate and simplest explanation of belting as well as how it feels and sounds in terms of being contrasted with not belting. My respect to you, and you have got a new fan!

[@2late2learn]

Chris, after watching this video for the 74 time (and many of your other one's) I finally realised what you were talking about. I was driving home last night, it was dark and miserable. I thought 'hey'! no body can see or hear me, I'd try a different approach to singing a few Shinedown songs. Brent Smith has a very strong chest voice which I could not match when he went above my break. I used to employ my head voice but always suffered vocal fatigue after one or two tracks (aching in my throat and neck) AKA stress. My voice sounded weak & thin which frustrated me. I thought he must have a great gift, which he has. I'm not saying it was perfect by no means but I had no fatigue. Now I think I need to practice, practice & more practice to work on my vowel placement & maybe breath support. It's gonna be a long road I think but thanks for videos. I'll keep watching for advice & new techniques. Thanks.

[@VictorSalaberry]

[@robertohiguera6432]

I didn't see the video yet and I've already drop my like, you are really good Chris.

[@vegeta1885]

You do really have good comments on singing. This particular how (good) opera teachers teach about projection, the "like you want to adress somebody on the street". Placement is everything, once you have found the right placement you have keep the voice there all through the end. If you cannot yet, work on your breath support more and do everything gently. Singing shouldn't be forceful. If you want to able to perform a flawless note and next day, and the next day and after that you have to be able to do it freely without shouting or tension. A songbird doesn't force its singing, you shouldn't too.

[@darksidessj25]

I can belt a F5/Gb5 now Chris. Thanks for all your wonderful videos. You just got to be able to hit it in either chest voice or head voice. That's why it's important to grow head voice. I really want that c6 but its hard maybe in a few more months of training. I can do mix easily now but at first I sucked finding the spot for it lol.

The question still remains... whats over there? thanks for your great lessons. You're real. You aren't embarrassed to sound silly sometimes when finding a pitch, note or technique. So it makes it so much easier to follow. Also you explain things step by step which a lot of other teachers don't. One downside: If you show examples, don't throw in other singing techniques like fry if it's not about fry because it's harder to find out whats happening. I watched a lot of your videos, still watching more. Keep it up, you're awesome Chris.

I have this childhood dream that would one day of singing in a band. I also write songs . Singing makes me feel so good and happy. I just don’t know if others would like the singing voice or the songs and am I already too old? As a child I was told to shut up when I sing or play the piano at home, and was kicked out of the choir as well. Because of that, I never believed that I have something musical to offer or share, but still, it’s still my dearest dream…
