What is belting? Well, it's basically what singers do when they sing very high notes, loudly, with passion. Or if you want a more technical explanation…vocal belting is a technique used in singing where the singer produces strong, powerful, and often loud sounds in their upper chest voice or head voice registers. It's often used for dramatic effect or to convey intense emotions in a song and is commonly associated with contemporary genres like pop, rock, and musical theatre.

In this 2-day, weekend workshop, renowned ‘belter’, and AMTA’s Founder & Director, Queenie van de Zandt, will teach you some simple concepts and vocal exercises that she’s gathered over the past 35+ years as one of Australia’s most respected musical theatre and cabaret performers, to help you find and improve your belt voice.

The workshop has been designed to help both the new singer and the professional with exercises catering to both levels. If you’re new to belting and you're finding that your voice is breaking or shaky, or it hurts or tires easily when you belt, then this is a perfect workshop for you. This workshop is also perfect for singers who have already developed their belt sound but would like to extend their belt range or have more control of the timbre or tonal quality of their belt sound.

You can access our workshop in various ways, in person, online, or in a hybrid manner, doing some of it in person, some online or watching the recording post-workshop.

All the concepts and exercises Queenie will take you through in this workshop are healthy and safe and are the techniques she used to extend her belt range and develop the thrilling, powerful belt voice that she is famous for.
