Hello this is Manish
I wanted to ask some questions regarding Layne Staley's voice , like how does he belts so effortlessly and how does he able to sing like that throughout the show without losing his voice cause when I try to imitate him I lose my voice and I get that unintentional rasp and loose some resonance after 3 or 4 songs . Some of your insights would be very helpful . Hope you reply thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

the thing is that if they are not trained, a lot of people strain their throat and use too much air, which gives you the unwanted "effects" you speak of. imagine the air being a blow dryer on your cords. the trick is to hold the air in and use as little as possible, relaxing into the raspy and "loud" sound. which in reality is not so loud at all
if you feel you want to give it a shot, you can check out a training i compiled before starting the real course. i used the free videos from YT. you find it by going to my profile page.
let me know if you want to give it a shot!
