Prerequisites Check

Before we dive in, let's make sure you're set up for success.

This course assumes you've built some foundational skills. If you haven't, you can still move forward – but you may find yourself struggling with things that aren't actually about belting. If that happens, these are the courses to come back to.

Recommended Foundation

Sing in Tune

Belting adds a new vocal production on top of your existing pitch skills. If pitch accuracy is still something you're actively working on, adding belt into the mix can make both harder. Getting pitch solid first means you can focus entirely on the new coordination.

Foundation Series

This course uses terminology from the Foundation Series – things like thyroarytenoid, cricothyroid, resonance, and basic laryngeal anatomy. If those concepts are new to you, some of what we discuss here might feel confusing. The Foundation Series gives you the vocabulary and framework.

Head Voice

This one matters most for the second half of the course. High Belt is built on head voice coordination with added brightness – if you don't have reliable access to your head voice yet, True Belt will go fine, but High Belt will be tough. You can always come back to this later if needed.

Ready?

If you've worked through these courses, great – you're in good shape. If you haven't but want to try anyway, go for it. Just know that if you hit a wall, it might not be the belt that's the problem – it might be a foundation piece. The courses above are your troubleshooting path.

Let's get you belting.
