Well, at the workshop in Miami, Neil Semer stated that men don't belt; and
others said that African-American men can belt ... there are singers that I
hear that sound like they are belting to me ... perhaps the male equivalent
of belting is singing in the mix but using the "belt vibrato" (straight tone
with vibration at the end). What do others think?
