How to sing, “Reflection” from Mulan using belting (a forward sound and “thinning” the voice)

[@Naturalgurl318]

Wow!!!!!!!! I learned how to do the chorus with the MIDDLE VOICE THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH NEVER KNEW ABOUT A “Middle voice” ❤️❤️💖💖💖💖

[@clairehosterman7431]

Yay, I'm so glad!! :))

[@akapinku459]

The ma things is helping me a lot on expanding my range and singing this. This message is from an alto/tenor

[@clairehosterman7431]

Yay!! SO glad :))

[@mrjj-s6e]

Just discovered you and you are great at what you do! Can you teach rock vocal belts like Chris Cornell, with a more of an open sound on the high notes. If so, do you recommend any of your videos on this subject of how you teach rock vocal belts in comparison to the way musical theater singers belt? Thank you!

[@mariahcervantes2088]

Okay so I discovered I actually have more range then I thought? I just didn't know how to place it and it just baffles me..you helped me so much. I just hope I can keep increasing my range even if I had a tonsillectomy.

[@clairehosterman7431]

Wow!! I am so happy for you! And I wouldn't be surprised if you keep increasing it :) Just go slow and listen to your body!

[@mariahcervantes2088]

@@clairehosterman7431 Yes ma'am! I'll be sticking around so I can pick up more vocal guidance from you =)

[@JerryFlowersIII]

To be able to suddenly belt this out would be so awesome. I'll keep practicing. This was a great guide to keeping the right placement and shapes.

[@jpye8989]

This video means so much to me. I just started my vocal lessons not long ago and I am so confused about how to sing this song well.

[@mandyc.8151]

Hello! I have a question. When you are singing the beginning part of the song, is it in mixed voice? Thank you😁

[@clairehosterman7431]

Yes, it actually is! It's important to used that mixed voice throughout the song (and not just certain parts) so it sounds consistent. :)

[@argentinanaoma1247]

A question: are you dragging your chest voice and placing it forward? What is the proper way of doing it?

[@clairehosterman7431]

Hi there! Yes, we are LIGHTLY dragging the chest voice up (not forcing it) and then using middle voice resonance. There are so many factors in how to belt "properly", but one way is to make sure you are breathing 360 degrees around your body (into your back, sides, belly, and even butt/pelvis!), and do a light yell while aiming the sound in the front of the face. I hopefully will be making more videos in the near future about this--I've just been taking time off and teaching :) Hopefully I'll be able to answer your question in a future video soon!
