Talk:Belting (music)

untitled

there is already an article on vocal belting. It is nearly the same.

Agreed. Looks like somebody made one of the pages as a way of renaming the article or something. Delmonte 22:21, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

examples

regine and mariah is the best example of this technique. It was included into the article before it was been merged. If you want, add Patti la belle.. Filipino singers are fond of belting technique, you will see this if you try to listen to opm music, werein it is commonly seen as a required skill for you to market in the music industry, examples are Sarah Geronimo, Rachelle Ann Go, Kyla, Jonalyn Viray, Erik Santos, Sheryn Regis, Frenchy Dy, Nina Girado etc etc.

You need a source or nothing will be added. A reliable source, not a message board or blog.--I'll bring the food (Talk - Contribs - My Watchlist) 18:55, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Could somebody at least add the unsources examples to this talk page, so that someone else can find sources for them? Luminifer (talk) 05:43, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Text removed from article

This was tacked on the end:

Refrain from belting where possible. The proper use of the chest voice will not result in belting, but will produce the correct, projected sound, which you are looking for. Belting usually results in an inflamed and sore throat. The correct term is to use the chest voice. Singing lessons will encourage the differnet styles of using the vocals. For example a spreschgesang (German song sung in a loud speaking vocal) requires loud projected sound in the chest voice, not belting.

I put it here in case somebody wants to properly work it into the article. - furrykef (Talk at me) 10:07, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

"refers to"

Why does the first sentence use "refers to"? The article is not about the term belting. --109.189.98.138 (talk) 01:38, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Notable Belters

I'm concerned about the 'Notable Belters' section of this article. There's no clear criteria for 'notability' being followed as far as I can tell, and there are no references on why any of the listed individuals are notable. It looks like it's becoming just a list of editors' personal favourites. Any thoughts? Knavesdied (talk) 09:52, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Wouldn't the criteria simply be having a Wikipedia article, as all articles must meet notability criteria? Rivkid007 (talk) 04:16, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Rivkid007... I don't think so. Just having a Wikipedia article does not imply notability for 'belting' specifically which is supposed to be the content of this section. For example, David Beckham has a Wikipedia article but I doubt he counts as a notable belter. Also, a Wikipedia article should not use other Wikipedia articles as sources (see WP:CIRCULAR).

I'm thinking that we move the content from the article to this talk page where it can be discussed further and citations found. Any objections? Knavesdied (talk) 11:45, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Here's the content of the section and it's been removed from the main article. Knavesdied (talk) 10:24, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

What is an upper belt?

somewhere I read about Mariah Carey's upper belts. What is the definition of an upper belt? --93.106.131.186 (talk) 06:25, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Technique Section Makes No Sense

The technique section has no sources, and contains a number of dubious claims about classically trained singers being unable to access chest voice, which is absolutely ridiculous. I guess if no one else cleans this up, this will be my note to myself to do it. Arathald (talk) 06:38, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 16 July 2021

Belting has become common in modern day music, though it can be specifically found in genres of musical theatre and pop. Idina Menzel who starred in Broadway hit Wicked is widely known for her belting. She later voiced the first Disney Princess to employ belting when she portrayed Elsa in the 2013 film Frozen. Singers such as Demi Lovato,Kim Seok-jin and Christina Aguilera are known and praised for their high belting abilities. Fairysj (talk) 16:31, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
