When a singer truly feels and experiences what the music is all about, the words will automatically ring out.--Cabelle
For some odd reason or another in this generation and probably past generations I must include, someone or somebody has this perception that if you scream, holler or yell, you are a better singer. WRONG! Belting is different, it's a style of singing that uses an adjustment producing heavy tones through the vocal range. Yelling, Screaming and Hollering, slams the vocal cords together, too often and over time this will result in frequent series of hoarseness and vocal abuse. Over time it will could result in permanent damage which is not irreversible.

Know Your Voice & Signs Of Vocal Abuse
Know Your Voice & Signs Of Vocal Abuse
Head Register/tone/voice: When your voice produces a light, flute-like tone, conducive to soft and high singing.
Chest Register/tone/voice: When your voice produce a deep,singing from the chest producing a low/pitch singing.
Mixed registration/tone/voice: vocal adjustments having qualities of both light and heavy register. The ability to sing soprano and alto.
Vocal hoarseness occurs for a variety of reasons. Here are two common reasons:
Coughing/Throat clearing - When you cough or clear your throat, you are slamming your vocal cords together very hard. Doing this enough times will create swollen cords and the vocal sound will be different. There is a method for coughing and throat clearing that isn't hard on the cords that is especially effective for people who clear their throats or cough out of habit. You can find these methods in "Voice Out Of The Box" Book in preserving your voice the healthy way.
Grunting (as in weight lifting)-If you lift weights on a regular basis, you may be abusing your vocal cords. Weight-lifters slam their vocal cords together for the resistance needed to lift heavy weights and then grunt at the same time. This activity, repeated over time, may damage the vocal cords because the slamming together of the cords can cause a callous to build up, thus changing the mass of the vocal cords. This may result in a change in pitch and/or create vocal hoarseness.
Chest Register/tone/voice: When your voice produce a deep,singing from the chest producing a low/pitch singing.
Mixed registration/tone/voice: vocal adjustments having qualities of both light and heavy register. The ability to sing soprano and alto.
