I'm an aspiring broadway actress who is a teenager. My voice is very strong and pretty- but I have just one problem: I CAN'T BELT higher than my chest voice naturally would go. I mean- once I try to belt the higher notes such as in "Don't Rain on My Parade" I get this AWFUL sounding over-exerted nasal sound that is earsplitting. If I ever want to have a chance to actually audition for broadway productions I have to be able to belt. They don't write songs for voices like mine. HOW DO YOU TAKE YOUR CHEST VOICE HIGHER THAN IT NORMALLY WOULD GO WITHOUT BREAKING????? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. (link)
Always practice. It doesn't happen at once. I'm an opera singer and when I belt "opera style" by voice cracks like a flute and hurts my own ears. A good way to reach that potential is to warm up. Low notes to high notes.

Don't control your voice. Don't try to control it (yet). When you belt, let your voice go where it wants to go. When you reach that place over and over again, you will be able to control it more.

I know it sounds wierd but it's true.

I hope this helps!
