Pop Voice
I'm 19/f and I've been trained in classical and jazz voice for about a year, but I was wondering about pop voice. In classical, they teach you to use head voice on high notes, mixed head and chest on middle notes, and chest on really low notes. In pop singing, do singers who"belt" like Kelly Clarkson, Mariah Carey, etc. use completely chest voice? because I feel like when I try to sing a pop song with any head voice, it sounds very operatic and doesn't have that pop-like belting quality that everyone admires when these famous pop singers perform. My voice is on the deep, heavy side for a female. Could this be the reason? Does belting mean completely using chest? And also, classical training teaches that your voice should never feel like it's "locked" in the throat. Is this true too for pop, because when I use chest on higher notes, it's in the throat. Any help would be appreciated!! thanks!!

I would talk to the people who trained you in jazz and classical voice. Ask their opinion. You might need a Pop trainer. Singing is like playing an instrument, you might need to learn a different way of using your chest voice with pop music.

I am a singer, as well - mostly classical, but I'm trying to veer off into the land of pop music.
First of all, regardless of the genre, you never want to sing from your throat when you're trying to develop vibrato. When you're practicing a song, place your hand on your throat whilst doing vibrato, and check if your throat moves or not. The vibrato should be created via your chest, not your throat. However, when singing pop music, you must suppress your vibrato a bit.
When singing higher notes, this works especially well with pop music, too, smile extra high and extend your nostrils as the notes get higher and higher. This helps make it easier to sing them, and makes them more clear.
