Legit
Short for "legitimate singing"—a classical, head-voice-dominant vocal technique used in musical theatre that prioritises tone, blend, and control over the raw power of belting. Legit singing is associated with the Golden Age of musicals (Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe) and remains essential for roles requiring a refined, operatic quality. Many modern roles require performers to mix both legit and belt styles.
