Redlemon, I disagree. I find a lot of the professional singers I work with use something called a belt mixture which is a healthy mix of head tones and chest voice. It's what most professionals use unless you are talking untrained, or genre dependant singers (like rock, punk, occationally blues and some pop). But I find trained and talanted singers simply use a mix. Girlfriend is an amazing mixture belter, but cannot straight out belt at all... it feels too much like screaming for her and her training will shut it right off. Some great examples of mixture masters are Whitney Huston, Aretha Franklin (except some of her more chesty sounding pieces), etc etc. There are lots of straight belters but that usually ends them in the hospital for node surgery.
