"During the break I watched this DVD "Bel Canto can Belto", in which Mary Saunders (Penn State) teaches 4 different women, with very different voices (the last one in her 50s, I'd say) and it illuminates more clearly than anything I can imagine how belt is more of a stylistic/color choice and not what I used to think: trying to push the chest too high so that it comes to the wall. I feel assured having watched it, so I just wanted to let you know... if you're curious about it and wondering whether to spend the time. It may be worth it for the exercises alone..."
Dr. Diane Coloton (Southern Illinois University Carbondale)
