Question
QUESTION: Hello, Im 14 and I just recently found out about a new way to belt suposibly alot of singers use this tecnique. I know Im young but I want to learn this really bad so any advice you have will be great. Its called "front voice." I belt alot and for many years I have been screaming on the high notes instead of singing it properaly, I am a Soprano2 which is pretty high for my age and now I want to get high in my belting voice. I was wondering if you would have any tecniques that would help me belt without strain and also increase my belting range.

ANSWER: Hi Ale!  :)  And thanks for writing.

Question - what do you do for breath support?

QUESTION: I don't quite understand the question

Answer
Hi Ale...Thanks for writing back.  Let me see if I can put it another way...

How do you breathe?  Where does your breath come from - your chest or your abdomen?  Do you find that you run out of breath easily when singing or do you have lots?  Do you find that your throat is strained or is it relaxed?
