Okay, so I'm not sure how good I am at explaining this, but I'll try. Basically belting means forcing your voice to do things it isn't actually able to do very well. A good, trained singer shouldn't have trouble getting clear notes out in their own vocal range. Belting is usually what happens when someone tries to force out higher notes (or deeper notes, but I think when you do that it would be called something else) or to sing much louder than they are comfortably able to. You put a lot of pressure on your vocal chords for that, you sing a lot louder because you try to do by force what you can't do with technique. The result is that it sounds loud and forced and grating, and that it's extremely bad for your vocal chords. Singing should never hurt and it shouldn't sound like it hurts. If you can't reach a note comfortably, you don't force it out, you slowly work your way up to expand your range (and obviously there are individual limits to how far you can expand it). Any good singing teacher should keep you from doing that, but a lot of musical singers do it for some reason because ... IDK, they think it sounds more dramatic or something? And Idina Menzel really does it A LOT.

I hope that cleared it up a little?
