- 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. RUclips 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.

Thanks for the kind words, Chris. I hope you are learning from the vids.
I AGREE
ikr
And so sweet and friendly. That goes a long way with me.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I like to. Get better so I can sound like Mariah Carey
My neighbors loved my belting exercises so much that they threw a brick thru my window to hear me better!
Haha! Neighbors!
Hahahaha nice try huh

Absolutely 😇
I thought the same thing... just watching him talk was making me smile😊😁
Been screaming HEY THATS MY BIIIIIIIKE for two hours.... cops were called ...... 🤣
Hahahahahahahahahahaha I am dying right now
OMG 😂
😂🤘
Helluva work man 😂😂🤟🏼
😂😂
Bicycle thief: (Wow, dude can really belt it out! The call register is really on point!)
Thanks so much, marlo!
😂😂😂
How can I practice this without my neighbors thinking I'm a lunatic?
Too late. They already know.
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! 👍
@@InternalizedSun damn man, i never thought about it that way! I was always very shy about singing.
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.
This is my biggest caveat right here. But as Ken said, yeah, pretty sure they already know so, what the hell lol.
*In a vocal lesson*
Other Vocal coaches: plays the piano now sing.
Ken: HEY, THAT'S MY BIKE!!!
🚵🚵🚵
I thought I was gonna learn how to discipline my son...
Not these days.
I can project quite loudly from well across the house, myself :)
Dude... nah.
Lol i laughed so hard on this one !:D
I had to scroll up and look at the title of the video again! Lmfao.
We're supposed to raise our children differently from our parents, Man!
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!
Rock 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.
Rock on!
Randomly found your channel while searching for "Shambala" covers, and I gotta say I'm impressed. You really know your stuff, but you're able to convey it without coming off as snobby or a know-it-all. Very approachable and well explained.
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!!
I'm Vietnamese. I wish I could understand all what you said. You are the greatest tutor I've known. Thankyou a lot!
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite vocal coach on the Citadel!
4:11 That scream's taught me how to hit soprano notes now, even though I'm a baritone...
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.
Wow, he literally comments on or likes every comment! What a swell guy
Thanks for the kind words, Reinalesca. Instead of going for tips, you can get the WHOLE PICTURE from my singing course, and it will ROCK YOUR VOICE! I appreciate your comment!
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.😊
For sure!
Just discovered this channel... I feel already better than 5 years ago. ❤
2:28 me whenever Ken Tamplin posts a new video
Ha, ha! Good one, Robert! :-)
LMFAO so true! Ken Tamplin is so awesome
LMBO YES!!😍😂
YES. 🎤😆
That was the high note, wasn’t it xD
This smile on your face speaks of your achievements! So good to have your channel on RUclips. I been practicing with ur teaching. I am amazed!
I'm glad to have you here, Sarah! Thanks!
Ladies and gentleman.
The King of Belting.
Jonathan Ortega Has a nice ring to it. 👑
Sorry to I'm late to your vids, Ken! I've been around singing for 25 years and you are the best of the best. I truly mean that. Keep up the amazing work that you do. You are such a treasure trove of information. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Jeff!
HEEEYYY!!!! THATS MY BIKE!!!
Nice belting! 😊
if u were my teacher i would be a super star
rania mimika mamikarania -💫⭐🌟
I strongly agree!
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.
Rock on!
Gosh, I just love these vocal training videos. They make me love to sing even more. Thanks so much, Ken! Totally fab!
Love hearing that, Tom!
Ken!! YOU are SOOOOO RIGHT! I NEVER had a Vocal Coach tell me about The Soprano Thing.I was classicly trained at a Conservatory,and have had a LONG road to finally Singing IN THE MIDDLE!
for Pop,etc.NOW, I KNOW WHY!!THANKS!
You are welcome, Gina!
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.
god bless you man..iv been playing rockin guitar for 26 yrs..used too sing in church as a lad n was pretty good...i thought i'd never sing again..a few weeks ago at a jam i accidently belted out stadium rock..i couldn't believe it,,tried to the next week..awful...i was gutted..i started googling and bam ..you came up...why didn't it occur to me to practice scales like i do on guitar..i didn't know what pitch or where to start..i will now put in hard work like i did on guitar and do these exercises.. but now have hope for my future man..again thank you so much
As a musician myself, albeit of a different variety (french horn), when you said that some people say to avoid practicing scales, I kinda chuckled. The scales are like the foundation of any piece of music whether you be an instrumentalist or a vocalist. One of my old band directors used to say "There are no such thing as hard scales, just unfamiliar ones." and that's true. The exercises and practices in any form of music are there to help build up that basic muscle memory and habits that make a musician good. Any really great, professional musician I can almost guarantee you practice scales and things like etudes daily and run through the basic practices. Now, it's a bit different for brass instruments since we don't have to worry about wearing out our vocal chords and needing to let them rest. Really, the focus is more on the embouchure (mouth muscles) and if you play with good technique, you really don't have to worry about wearing it out. Of course, it's not good to play all day.
i’m from the Philippines and i’m inspired of your videos.. I really love singing. Thank you for your videos. 😉
I’ve been in a choir since age 7. I’ve learned how to sing soft and in unison with the others. Now (at age 18) I have a Jazz/Pop/Rock vocal teacher and I’m discovering so many different layers of my voice! It’s great and I’ve made so much progress in the last year! But I have a problem with taking my chest/mixed voice higher, I’m just not used to it. I hope it’s not too late to learn how to do that. At some point it feels like I’m Kermit and choking. So that’s why I’m here. I’ll definitely try these tips (not that my teacher isn’t enough, she’s great! but I feel like it’s research or homework that I’m doing), the shouting one is a really good start! I’ve never thought of it like that. So thank you I guess for all the videos on this topic, I’ll check out some more!
I‘m also apologizing for any grammar mistakes, I’m not english.
It's not too late to learn at all. The sooner you do get started, the better, but you will eventually go a long way towards your goals if you just get started and resolve to keep going forward.
Haha I think I've sacrificed the high note at the altar of belting
Me too - I hate my high notes, a vocal coach once labelled me a soprano but I NEVER sing there
Finally a vocal coach who doesn't think a bit wide mouth isn't bad technic when i just drop jaw without widening the lips my voice gets so dark nd squeezed but with this wide mouth with open throat techniques im getting till b5 easily thanks ken!!
😀
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.
You can do it!
young KenTamplin you are the greatest.
hands down. nothing compares to you 👍🏻
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
Like your videos, you give examples right away not like other ones who give explanations and no examples until the end at about 1 or 2 minutes. This people dont show their work like you do. That's what makes you awesome coach and mentor....domo arigato for your videos.
I find your videos very helpful
I'm quite shy but love playing guitar and I'm trying to get better at singing, for some reason your videos are the only ones that I feel comfortable watching for some reason
I'm glad you feel good when you watch my videos. If you like to sing, you should learn to sing and not worry about what others think. Do it for yourself.
"for you baritones you guys are gonna feel a tug" me a bass who wishes he could belt

Hola Ken. Llevo muchos años cantando. Más de un año mirando videos en español sobre la voz mixta sin ningún progreso. Lamento mucho no saber que dices en cada explicación. Solo entiendo lo que miro de tus ejercicios. Pero mañana trataré de pasar todos tus videos al idioma español. (Claro, por escrito gracias a un software que he bajado del internet) Te admiro y te aprecio mucho Ken. Eres el mejor maestro y cantante del mundo. Exitos y saludos desde Colombia. Apenas llevo una semana mirando tus videos y ya he tenido muchos logros con mi voz sobre todo en los agudos. Gracias Ken TRADUCTOR DE GOOGLE
Hello Ken. I've been singing for many years. More than a year watching videos in Spanish on the mixed voice without any progress. I'm sorry not to know what you say in each explanation. I only understand what I look at your exercises. But tomorrow I will try to pass all your videos to the Spanish language. (Of course, in writing thanks to software that I downloaded from the internet) I admire you and I appreciate you very much Ken. You are the best teacher and singer in the world. Success and greetings from Colombia. I've only been watching your videos for a week and I've already had many achievements with my voice especially in the highs. Thanks Ken GOOGLE TRANSLATOR
One of the best tutor on youtube. 💓
Glad you think so!
Brilliant as always. Been on this course for three years now. Best investment I ever made. Truth.
You ROCK, Wayne! Tell it like it is!
Me thinks your the answers to many dreams of enjoying singing. Have to admit I did not realize it was such a science. Enjoy your detailed explanations.
adventure002006- Excellent!
Again, pretty good explainations. Step by step, it's the key.
Your videos are so helpful! I've been practising different techniques from your videos and they are really helping! Thank you so much
That makes me happy, Lucy! Thank you for letting me know! 😊
I just got moved from Soprano 1 to Alto 2 (long story). There are no words for how much I need this video. Haha when you can't hit the high C everyone's just like "yeah, yeah, but how loud can you get?"
Ciara.Chaya- Glad the video helps!
ken i have learnt singing because of you,you are such an icon to me sir,
Awesome! Thank you!
Just stumbled upon your vid, your teaching technique is stellar, you seem like you’d be very easy to learn from. Keep up the stellar work, God of Belting
Thanks, Paula!
Once again, BOOM! 💥🙆♀️ Ken, you really are THE BEST 🔥 forever greatful I found you 🙏🏼
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 .
Thanks for the request, Shawn! And thanks for the vote of confidence!
My goal for the next 2 months is to buy your Singing Program. I wish I can buy it faster, but budget is tight for the next few weeks. I have this burning passion for singing, but I really don't have the techniques to execute it well enough. I'm starting to think that maybe improvement is a possibility if I took your course. You're really inspiring Ken.
His exercises is the best, that anybody teacher"s Good luck and healthy to you !!! Great Woland and Bruce Lee !!!)👍
Thank you!
5:03 cracked me up. Even when I go back to it.
Edit: I returned 2 years later and it still got me by surprise.
I just want to say, I had no faith in singing until a couple friends told me I could sing the genre's of music I grew up on well.... Your lessons are helping me tremendously. I recently had a friend tell me i pushed the beginning of a word too hard "which is the headnote right?" You are a great teacher....I'm sure i missed the video explaining it, but why do you hold your tongue out like that, is that a practice thing?
I wonder too
Great info! You really know how to break it down to better understand, like playing an instrument with your voice. Incredible!!
Thanks for your kind words, Marco!
Really that is the best vocal worker teacher ☝️!!!! Great Woland and Bruce Lee 👍!!!!! Thank you so much !!! But secret in his eyes is too 👍👍👍!!!!
Rock on!
Again after seeing many of your podcasts and integrating these small treasures... Im thinking I should just join up and do the whole course... I have to speak a lot during the day and its getting a bit better that my voice isn't warn out by evening time singing! Thanks again!
I think you're right, Anton. No sense in piecemealing your voice. Do it as a whole. Build the foundation solid as a rock and then keep going.
Thankyou ken 😎 these lessons are so much help! Your in depth descriptions are great 🎙️🎧👍
Wow! thank you so much for these amazing classes. You make it so easy to understand. God bless you.
Thank you for your kind words, Thiago! God Bless you, too!
Thankyou Ken..I've found you...a genuine singing teacher...I'm in my 50's. ..and have always wanted to sing since my teens..I need to learn properly...I sing karaoke but would like to train ti sound better
Have you looked at my course? Check it out: kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
OMG......you are such an awesome teacher Ken!!! Your genuineness is refreshing and your incredible knowledge show that you have truly worked very hard to develop your craft!!! You are a Michangelo of sweet Musical Inspiration!!! I am going to take my sweet time going over your videos because your are explaining musical terminology in a super easy way to comprehend!!!

Gosh ken i cant say anything.. you are a pro.. thank you so much
I was catagorized as a mezzo soprano in voice.
Hi Ken you are my inspiration for not giving up on singing. Ken, I am humbly requesting that you do a video on “how to sing like classic Geoff Tate of Queensryche and Todd De La Torre formerly of Crimson Glory and currently of Queensryche”. I’ve watched De La Torre nail all the old Queensryche tunes seemingly with out strain or fatigue. He seems to sound great with minimal effort. I’d like to know “how” it’s done as it seems different from pushing the chest voice timbre upwards blending with head voice. The vowels seem different and if you can’t show how to do ir then maybe it can’t be done...
Great Lesson thank you how much I owe you lol keep on keeping on ❣
Thank you! Will do!
I'm 65,will retire next year. Wanna join your program after fretirement. Hope things will go well on my singing. Thx first
Woahh how can all of this be free xD that's too much of a good content for it to be public and free..and that's why i really admire your effort and time you give to all of us...and that voice is just amazing❤❤keep it up,you're seriously the best teacher ever
Tears of Ville Glad you appreciate the videos! Check out my actual course: kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
Absolutely cracked me up at 4.12. Couldnt move for laughing when you hit that high note, what a voice. You sounded like my husband when I jump out and frighten him 🤣🤣. Brilliant video though with fantastic advice
Ha, ha!
So glad i found your channel..i surely learn tons of essential tips from you Sir..thanks a ĺot for sharing..i'll be watching your other vlogs 🥰🙏🎶🎤👍👍
I love this man!

You'r welcome, Fishing with Steve D!
Must watch Polina Gagarina
Lake Baikal 2,019 amazing amazing performance 👍
Thanks for the suggestion, Jason!
Where is the call register? Just below passaggio? Above passaggio? You're the best. Make me realise how much better I could get if I actually knew what I was doing. Thanks :)
Laaaaaaaa laaaaaaaaa awesome this text is the best i ever sung ever
Best teacher!
4:59 love it
ghhhfh fhfhfg 😆
Your video really upgrade the range of my voice
Awesome!
You are singing how David Coverdale !!!👍) Great Woland and Bruce Lee !!!)
Thank you.
you are the best sir , I hope in 2018 you will release an album of yours ....that will leave even despacito behind .....
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.
I landed here, and I see you have some more tutorial on belt singing. Than I will go back to lesson 1.
Glad to have you here, Neva!
9:50 *james helfeild just entered the chat*
Rock on! 👍💜🎤
I am having fun with theses exercises..Thank you
You're welcome, Francis!
me being a contralto: i do not s e e the soprano range-
😊Thanks for listening!
Thank u coach this very helping me to learned
Good vowel placement..ahhhhhhhhhhh.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. 😂 just playing. Belting really isn't that difficult to learn. ❤️
Chris Cornel is/was a master of this! & R.I.P. dude!
Rock on!!
OK! Now I'm ready to go out and tackle some Ian Gillan vocals!! Or, maybe not 🙄
Awesome! Rock on!
guys i add another thing to what my freind ken said so dont push to much because in that way u can make sound but from the bottom
could you do something about whistle register?
I second this!!!
I can completely visualize what you are saying. I used to be frightened of.your videos.A LOT OF TONGUE aha . But now I love em
When I hear "belt," I immediately think of Regine Velasquez.
Indeed!
Kate Smith!
i agree best vocal training video ,, i like it,,, thats why i always watch all his videos,,
Thank you. 😀
@@kentamplin Sir your so awesome❤️
Ken , could you tell me please before I start to do this exercise should I do lips roll or tough trill warm up ?
The best place to ask singing related questions is on the forum. Please join the discussion, enrollment is free. forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
yes u can do those exercise before this one :) to further compress ur voice
Love your vocal prowess and teaching methods, but even if that wasn’t the case I would come back for this video as it always puts me in a really good mood. Take care Ken, I’m getting my fucking bike back! 🤬🤘🏼
Thanks, Flip Treat!
"HEY! THATS MY BIKE!" LMAO
Belt it out Jim! 😊
That’s a badass acoustic! Love it.
Hey Ken i've got question for you - how we should move on stage while singing?
Very carefully! Actually, that's a good question. Maybe something worthy of a video in the future.
I will wait for it :)
