If you sing, you've wondered if you are belting correctly, or if you even know how to do it. The reality is, that belting has less to do with full-on volume or loudness. A good belt has more to do with how you place your note and how you think about where the note should be vibrating or resonating from. I'll break down how to know you're belting correctly and show you how to FEEL a good, loud, resonant BELT VOICE!
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.
Glad I could help! You're so welcome!
@@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
(Lack of vocal support is here because I don't use my poop muscles 😂)
can i asl, where is the position of “Poop Muscles”?
When you still can't belt, but learn to use poop muscle better.
When you not only fail to belt but also accidentally shit yourself
Thanks Chris, now my poops are POWERFUL
@@Theviewerdude are they bright?
Ok, so when practicing your line is 'I've finally crapped my paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaants!'
We should all start a club
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 :)
@@chrisliepe lol 😂
😂😂😂
I think my neighbours hate me now lol
The beach is an ideal place.
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!
Unhelpful place to leave your belt, mate
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.
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!
Lmao @ Ken Tamplin
😂
You sure sound a lot like Chris Cornell while belting. Not all belters have that timbre.
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.
Well articulated!
“Go outside even” sounded fair enough so I gave it a try. I’m not sure whether this is related but all my neighbours ignored me this morning
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.
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!
Im a guitarist not a singer. But somehow ive watched almost all your tutorials 😂 might go to the rehersal space and sing 🤷🏻♂️
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!
You're lessons are seriously helping me with my belting and compression. Total game-changer, thank you!
That’s awesome!!
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.
I've got: "over there" stuck in my head now, lol xD
One week with you as a singing teacher and I would be rid of most of my problems with singing. A big compliment and thanks to you.
My favorite belter, and vocalist to be honest..... Layne Staley
the absolute best
7:06 Thanks for the bonus lesson on how to do the Saturday night fever dance
Hehe. You’re welcome!
Hot girl: Hey, what's your name?
Me: 7:43
Underrated
@@dystopia2386 underrated too.
Now i found my twang which gave range, and found my belt which gave me power. Now please make a video that mixes these two.
Ok turning the over there technique into a song was really funny and a awesome
Wow, I wish I could sing just as good as you.
He’s earned it through study, practice and dedication, apply those things yourself then see where it takes you
Thank you for your selflessness and generosity in teaching & sharing.
🎶 "Over There" ...sensation in the mouth and nose, relaxed jaw.
You should teach us how to vibrato like that, your videos are so good.
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.
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!
once you've figured out how to do a certain vocal technique, how do you replicate it again the next day?
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!
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.
Sleep.
I am not Vocal coach at all, I have no clue about this, but Dr Matthew Walker in the book "Why we sleep" talks about muscle memory and how our muscles remember things better when we sleep
Pain
@@vegeta1885 damn... it hit me hard as it seems like everything we do is about muscle memory if we would like to be good at it...
I have learned more in the last 2 days, watching and trying out these techniques, than I have in many years of "singing". Thanks!!
You're so welcome!
You're just the best teacher on RUclips. Every video makes me learn so much. Awesome content!
I've been strugling actually for months as I used to engage my throat. I feel relief now that I am able to belt!
Your videos are so professional! i always expect you to be advertising your own stuff locked behind a paywall but no, youre just out there to help. Shows that you can be professional whilst still not being a massive corporate entity. Keep it up, loving your content glad i subscribed.
Chris, you light up my world)))thank you so much! Your passion for singing is so contagious and learning from you is such a healing experience for me, honestly)
So glad! Thanks for sharing this!
You're the first person whose singing course I want to really buy, thank you for all this great content!
me: hey man, did you see my belt anywhere?
my friend: 4:13
me : 12:03
Your singing videos are the most interesting ones I've found on the internet. Hands down.
Thanks! Spread the word!! :)
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.
haha
Just when I thought the content reached a high point, a new video toped out , adding another learning experience ! great work Criss
thank you!!
Musically growing all the time ! LIVE LIKE A ROCK STAR. Training for Health as well !
I’ve been seeing a vocal teacher for the past two months and it has definitely been helping me sing and also understand how to speak better. your videos also are super insightful all the concepts you talk about are spot on and something I think more teachers should take note on your teaching methods. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Herooooo love your videos
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.
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!
The only vocal coaching method that makes sense to me.
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!
You are a GAMECHANGER 🙌
I didn't see the video yet and I've already drop my like, you are really good Chris.
Your vids are next level man ive had 3 teachers over the last 4 years and they havent taught me near as much as you
I'm so glad you're learning and EXPERIENCING! Thanks for watching and subbing!
It makes me so happy to see the subscriber count on this channel taking off. You're doing a great work Chris! Awesome video!
here before this video hits 100k views :) gonna enjoy this one! your videos have helped me so much as a singer and a voice teacher! thank you so much for sharing these amazing videos man! like 11 from me :)
I really enjoyed that belting tutorial you uploaded using the nay nay exercise, I hit an Bb4 for the first time in a loud setting, couldn't do that before like even without straining so thank you so much man! please start making more singing tutorials like Chris Liepe does! Perhaps start making how to sing type videos cause your demonstrations of myles kennedy and bruno mars were really good!
You are a genius teacher! I could totally hear your belt and quickly learned how to feel the belt in my voice (and which notes belt best for me). I learn more in 15 minutes from you than hours with previous teachers. Well done!!!
You're so welcome!
Appriciate his effort to demonstrate it, not many vocal coaches dare to do that
Wow! Thank you so much for "over there"! Well done!
Thanks for the amazing lesson and your story Sensei !
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.
Awesome! This is great news!
I'm Evan from India. You teach really well. I wish the products on your website were made available for a cheaper cost so that I could purchase it.
the forehead + forward resonance helped pretty much instantly
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.
I can't even tell how much better at singing I've become since I started to watch your videos.
I'd like you to make a video about proper talking on a daily basis and how to improve your talking power.
Thank you again, Chris.
I think I belt a little too much because it’s SO loud that I literally can’t practice with anyone else home so I basically never practice at all
That's what cars are for!
Very very interesting and useful ❤
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.
Push hard Chris. Your work is super appreciated.
I'm not a "singer," I just watch these vids for interest and so I can try to sing along with a song and not sound like shite. Always had a loud voice, so I have found something I can do that actually came quickly and felt sort natural, belt and get LOUD. LOL.
Yesterday I did accidentally don't know what was that but feels great nd Today RUclips recommend ur this video nd found it was belt thank you for amazing information😍😍😍💕
Chriss!!!! Really thank you Your classes are the best! Woooaaaaeew I just sang super good
What a monster teacher you are, your explanations are so clear and easy to reproduce !! Love that way you teach to us the technics, thanks !
Thanks so much! Here's another one you might appreciate: ruclips.net/video/kjqqwmtO3_M/видео.html
man you are a god
Thank you Chris! Really helpful lesson. Greetings from Brazil.
Can’t believe this is free, man. I’m working on a cover and needed this for a high part. Thank you so much
You're very welcome!
We all love you Chris ! Thank you soooo muchhhh !
hey by any chance can you do a lesson on how to properly sing oh darling by the beatles?
Will look into this!
+1
Daaaamn, I think I've belted a few times in my life. When singing in the shower or when arguing with my family
Your tutorials are great! It's easy to understand and easy to follow! Thanks :)
great tips! I can feel my canine teeth vibrating as I sing using this technique! That's how I know I'm doing it right!
Thank you Chris! You're amazing! Greetings from Brazil!
Just discovered my mixed voice a few days ago thanks to watching your video on manipulating fry a few weeks ago and just internalized it until my training could support doing it freely, it's so pingy and LOUD and effortless. I'm not an amateur, I've been singing on stage for 10 years, just never had enough vocal training.
You're doing great content and we sure appreciate it.
ps: big fan of the beard
Your vocals remind me a lot of the Anis from Monoral, which is one of my all time favorite bands. Lovin the content ✊🏾
I really like your speaking voice 💙
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…
I have learned that I have in fact been belting correctly! I thought I wasn't doing it right since I couldn't get very high, but it turns out that it's just a range issue. I have a tendency to mistake the feeling of my vocal cords moving with tightness in my throat, haha. Now I need to learn how to growl...
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.
Your voice reminds me of the band Muse.
Love the passion he explain things with)
Amazing how you can put things so clearly. Thanks for that!
Another ludicrously good tutorial. I may have to pay you for lessons if they keep being zingers like this. You’ve taught me belting and fry screaming. 🤘👨🏻🎤
You make so much sense! Love your videos!
Please do a vocal lesson on pull me under by Dream Theater
GREAT idea!
Yes I want to see Chris rocking some old school LaBrie, too! 🤘
Dude! I just wanted to say that you make the best videos for aggressive singing! Your explanations are the best I have heard anyone do!
Amazing, man!! You're awesome teacher!
Chris just went full Jared Leto when belting 😂
Awesome video! You explain it so well!
Glad it was helpful!
Really awesome dude, love this vid. So helpful
good job 👍
Uhmmm I have nooooo idea how this happened... but I’m a baritone usually topping out at an A or A# on good days... and I just belted a C# while following this video. It was effortless... I’m surprised but also excited to explore this part of my voice.
Thank you for posting this!
That’s so awesome!!
BELT WITH MIX SO EXCITED FOR THAT VIDEO WHITNEY GONE HAVE NOTHING ON ME THANKS CHRIS MUCH LOVES
Since finding this channel in like a week I’ve found mix finally, grit now waiting for my favourite part the mixed belt AHHHH. When’s the video
Coming in two days :)
I'm a new comer. Your tutorials are great. Keep it up the good work. I'm waiting for more tutorials
Great lesson
This helped a lot.
I've watched a few of your vids. I think i'm liking you better than Ken Tamplin. He's really good too, but he's too damn happy. Kinda creeps me out. You seem to be a great teacher. Good job, brotha.
Thanks!
Another great watch. I wish I could hit those highs as a wannabe singer.
Amazing lesson , thank you so much . it's finally clear.
4:10 I dunno if any of y'all play Fallout 4, but right there he sound exactly like the bot used for the NPC voice mod lol
I wish I had seen this videos 4 years ago bro!!! thanks a lot!
