Boys belt (and mix), too!

Contrary to popular belief, or at least contrary to most discussions about belting, men spend a lot of time also learning how to stretch their voices to be strong and chesty in the upper register.

The advice is the same:

• Get a teacher that really understands your voice and can work you toward belting in a healthy, easy way for you.
• Learn the proper places in a song to belt, to mix, to sing softly, etc.
• Practice, practice, practice.

As a great example of a video with a man belting beautiful at the right times, check out this week’s #NMTvotw, with Tyler McKenzie singing Jonathan Reid Gealt‘s September of 92.

Warning: You’ll need to sit down for this one, or it might blow you away.
