Hi,
I have no experience with belting, except that I have heard it recently when I saw Jane Eyre, Jekyll and Hyde and Kiss Me Kate on Broadway. I found the tone disturbing, uncomfortable but also exciting in a strange way. How can this singing style possibly be safe? All I know about it is that you take the chest voice all the way up. I have heard that it causes nodules and can destroy a voice in a matter of a couple of years. Please inform me on this subject... I used to teach a variety of students as a TA and some of them belted but I just discouraged that practice in favor of a legit tone. If belting can be done safely, I am very interested to know how.
Thank you!
Gina
