belted out

Loudly performed vocally

Belted out means sang loudly and forcefully, with full vocal power: She belted out the national anthem at the stadium.

The phrase suggests uninhibited, powerful singing—the kind that fills a room or reaches the back rows.

It can also describe shouting or proclaiming something emphatically: He belted out orders to the crew.
