Belting is a singing style practiced by pop singers, rock stars, and Broadway performers in which chest voice is applied to a high range of notes. It's one of the most fun and impressive singing sounds out there -- but one that often stumps singers who think they just don't have the "gift" or talent to do it.

Fact: Healthy belting can be taught. And all the keys to learning are contained in this course.

This complete A-to-Z course offers a carefully planned sequence of belting warmups and techniques designed to transform your voice with the effectiveness of one-on-one teaching.

Under the guidance of Broadway actress Felicia Ricci -- who honed her belting craft while playing the lead role of Elphaba in Wicked the musical -- these lessons will leave you in tip-top singing shaped, armed and ready to belt healthily and wow everyone at your next audition, talent show, or musical performance.

This series was designed for singers of all levels who are seeking to master the belting technique. Felicia teaches in clear, plain language that's not overly technical or long-winded, conveying her information with tons of gusto (and humor, too!). Extremely interactive, these lessons don't just involve talking about a concept, but applying it to over 30 exercises, vocalizations, and practice sessions. Felicia stays with you every step of the way, finding creative ways to get you to access your best voice.

When Will I Hear Results?

Your singing will improve as soon as the first lesson. In terms of mastering belting, depending on your pacing and skill level, Belt Your Face Off can take as few as 30 days, but each singing journey is different. With continual practice, this lesson course is guaranteed to work, improving your belting voice by leaps and bounds.

Course Structure

(1) Breath: What is breathing from the diaphragm, and how do I apply this practice? What vocal warmups reinforce and hone this skill? This sequence of videos answers these questions and teaches you to how to make correct, supported breathing second nature.

(2) Palate + Tongue: Learn the proper positioning in the back of your throat that allows you to access your best singing and belting voice.

(3) Resonance: Singing is created by breath and the vocal folds, but it resonates on different parts of your body. Learn to wield the power of resonance to help create a strong and focused belt sound.

(4) Vocal Mix: What is chest voice, and what is head voice -- and what happens when you sing "between" the two? The answer is a vocal blend, or mix, which is where the belt voice originates. Learn the vocalizations and approaches that will get you to have a seamless, beautiful blend.

(5) Advanced Techniques: Watch as your belting voice starts to soar! Practice these warmups, apply focused techniques, and listen as your belt voice develops healthily and free of vocal stress.

(6) Applied Belting: Warm up and practice is all well and good, but what happens during a performance? Discover key strategies to keep you grounded and consistent, as well as singer "secrets" like modified vowels.

(7) Troubleshooting and Tips: Every singer's journey encounters roadblocks. In this section, Felicia addresses some of the most common challenges, offering ways to overcome these hurdles.

(8) Notes on Daily Practice: Singing everyday and working toward incremental goals are key to belting success. In this video, Felicia outlines the ideal practice session and coaches you on developing your own individualized singing regimen.

Each of the above course units is accompanied by warmup and exercise videos (homework) that guide you through your take-home assignments (no piano required) and allow you to execute the lessons in your own voice.

Audio downloads isolate and extract each vocal warmup and exercise so you can put them on your music player and practice anywhere, anytime.

Written guides, summaries, and an introductory e-book reinforce each concept and give you a handy reference of key points and principles so you'll never feel lost.

A vocal warm-up log lets you keep track of each exercise and lists its exact video location, allowing you to find and repeat as many times as necessary.

The keys to belting are right around the corner!

If you're looking to make HUGE strides in your belting, learn a ton about singing, and have a bunch of laughs with your teacher, Belt Your Face Off is the perfect course for you.

Felicia's instruction was so helpful and I learned so much from her. I got over 15 scholarship offers and/or acceptances from colleges and much of this was because of her instruction! Thanks so much, Felicia! --Molly I.

Genius! This chick has an awesome voice and her personality is stellar :) --EriktheGreat08

You're amazing! You're the first person that I actually enjoy watching to teach me how to sing. --Sephra J.

My vocal instructor has tried to teach me this for months but i finally get it now. --Funnycactusvideos

Oh my gosh, you're wonderful. Thank you so much for these tips. I love doing musical theatre too but I'm only 14 and your tips have given me a much greater sound and blend. --Claire

I took this course because I was a classically trained singer and I wanted to learn how to get a (healthy) belt sound. Within a few days, I was able to greatly improve my vocal mix and I was belting much more effectively! I recommend this to any and all singers- please learn to belt properly and in a healthy way! Don't kill your larynx! :) --Agnieszka M.

The 'Find a vowel' tip helped me with a few songs I've been struggling with -- particularly Enjolras' part in 'One Day More' from Les Mis, where there's lots of O's that I now morph into A's (One more day before the staaaaarm, at the the barricades of freedaaaaaam), thanks a bunch! --Jarred S.

I've taken a lot of voice lessons in my day, but this belting course taught me secrets and techniques that I had never even thought of trying. --Tessa R.
