I assume that belting, fake belting and mix voice also is applicable for males? The female voice has one extra "voice", the female opera voice (female head voice).

[timwelch2]

"fake belting" is simply good mixing where the singer uses more head voice into the chest voice and sings very forward so as to give the illusion of full on belting. It has the drama of belting, but protects the voice more due the addition of head voice. I define women and men as having two basic voices, Women have chest voice and head voice. Men have full voice and falsetto. Mixing is the "grey area" between the two. The female opera voice is the head voice.

My pleasure. It is nice to have a place where teachers and musicians can share information. Nice to hear from you.

this is so helpful thanks tim

Thank you so much. This is great since not all people have vocal teachers. I've been reading multiple things on the web and multiple books trying to learn this stuff. But of course you can't learn to sing just from a book. It's great seeing everything that I've read about being explained in this video. Thank you so much!

What kind of vocals should I use if I'm going to be Belle in Beauty and the Beast?

[JanMarie1007]

(continued) I notice an absence of vibrato in a lot of new singers I admire (hard for me to drop. . .), and a sort of supported breathy quality. Examples: Cheryl Crow, Shawn Colvin, Alice Peacock, the singer in Bearfoot, Alison Kraus. Best I can tell, they have good diaphragm support and also move air constantly, and keep the resonance right in the front of the mouth. I lose that sound when I tighten my throat. So it's somewhere between classical open throat and more "pop", closed throat.

Best teacher I've found online- thanks! A couple questions: Head vs. chest voice seems to depend on the vowel you're singing - "Ah" seems to lend itself to an open throat/chest voice. "Ee", to head/front voice. And the "American Idol" types seem almost nasal, and able to have more volume than I do in high range.

I grew up singing in choirs, and have a respectable classical voice; I then segued to Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell, to whom I'm compared most. I'd like a more contemporary style
