Molly, you might be interested in Jo Estill's work. I recently passed my Primary licensure exams a well as a belting workshop in which I did Rose's Turn (I'm a lyric soprano) there is allot of physical effort but it takes the strain out of the folds and your voice stays fresh. E-mail me privately for a more in depth description of the system.

I ask this 'cause I am starting graduate school for my MM in voice, and I would feel kind of silly asking "hey, I wanna belt...how do I do that?", when no doubt I should be concentrating on arias. I am just amazed at how Eileen Farell can wail on jazz like no one's business, yet so far my lame attempts sound as bad as Jessye Norman's or Kiri Te Kanawa's. AGGH! Just wondering if you kind posters can help me figure out a few things. Anyone here learn how to sing pop successfully (meaning, NOT like an opera diva or divo?)? How long did it take you? Did you do it mostly on your own,or with help?
A million thanks,
Molly
