- Addicted To Love - How To Sing Better With Limited Range - Voice Coach Ken Tamplin - Vocal Academy
Often times in this day and age with all the singing shows etc., people place such a high emphasis on vocal range, as though this is the only way to determine if someone is a good singer.
This could not be further from the truth.
While it is awesome to have a great range as it increases our toolbox for what we can do creatively/musically, it is far from the only thing that makes us great.
What I try to demonstrate in this video is that Robert Palmer had a very limited range.
But it's what he did with that range that mattered.
Not everyone is looking to have four octaves on their voice.
But you have a story that no one else has.
Let me say this again. You have a story that no one else has.
Its time that you get out and tell your own story and not worry so much about whether you stack up to American Idol, The Voice, X Factor, and so on.
Get out and kick some booty with your own voice and tell your story!

Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy pls reply my question
I'm waiting to hear from you. Let me know what's on your mind today.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Could you please do something about Death or Black Metal? Something like Growling and such stuff.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Bravo, Ken. It's so important to have energy. That's what you bring out. I've been dealing with severe anaemia which would explain why I've been lacking in energy - very important. Have you had any experience of anaemia with your students? xx
Thanks for asking, Heavy.
Chris, many of my students are rockin' drummers. There are discussions about that on my singers forums.
Hey,Ken,hi. Have you ever heard about Metalcore? So,in this genre is very specifyc vocal tecnique,which name is Mixed. For example,band Architects. Can you please make a video about that kind of vocals?
“I earned those notes” LOVE IT!
Got ta pay ya dues, drewr729!
WOW! I've listened repeatedly to Robert Palmer's version and several covers and have enjoyed them all. I'm not sure why I like this song so much, maybe because of the attitude Ken talked about at the end of the video. I think this version is the best! I'm in awe. Not only of your singing, but of your encouragement to those who feel they can't sing because of limited range - really encouraging! I feel it's a privilege to listen to you and your comments at the end of your covers. Inspiring and uplifting. Thank you!
Thanks, Mark!
Needed this today! What a great reminder that range is no substitute for strong songwriting and vocal charisma. Thank you!!
That's right, Kai! You're welcome!
I destroyed my voice so many years ago when I was trying to sing songs I had no business trying to sing or (more often than not) trying to sound like someone else. I truly miss the days when I was singing, songwriting, fronting a band, etc. My voice is great for voice overs now which pays the bills - and I'm thankful to God for that - but that doesn't change the fact that I miss those days of performing and even dream at night about being back on the stage quite often. Had I known about your academy twenty years ago my life might have gone in a completely different direction. I was a fan back during your days in Shout - truly the best rock voice of all time in my opinion. So glad to see you are still killing it and helping others to do the same. God bless.
Marlar, get those singing days back again! You may have just been using your voice incorrectly. Retrain it.
I'm getting better and better by watching your videos, Ken. I can't believe it!
I'm glad these videos are helping you, Leonardo! That was the idea!
Thank you so much for sharing! Good aspects, good tips, smart and funny comments, I really like you posts! All the best Ken!
Working Title -Thank you!
I agree, use what ya got. You, sir, are talented. This is a great song for folks to start out and learn. Agreed 100%.
Next to our singing capabilities the cap(ability) of your performance underscores everything, Know your limits but don't let them limit you ! Ken seeing your voice is a major part of his teaching method. Chapeau !!
You should redo this Ken and post another and have the girls singing backup and dance! I think it would be fantastic! 😮
Robert Palmer is one of the most underrated singers ever to come out of Britain! His voice was thick and buttery and he could sing anything. Check out him and james brown doing I feel good and then check out talk to your daughter. The power he possessed and could be called upon for a micro second, if needed for the song, was incredible. This song is a lot harder to sing than most realise too!
Well said!!
I love how chill you are when singing Ken
Thanks, Endrit!
Fantastic. I m agree Ken. Thank you, with the right technique the own voice will comes as a strong tree.
Thanks, Juan Pablo!
You're so right!! Personally, I've thought 'Oh well I don't have the voice of other singers out there,' and that has deterred me from just doing it and finding my own voice. There will be people who connect with your own voice and what you express. Really great advice!!
It's true, Condesa! Find your own voice and go for it!
Ken brother, your channel is the gift that keeps on giving... I use your tips all the time, powerful tools!
I'm just getting started, TheOzzk! Keep watching, because there's more where this came from! Thanks for your comment, my friend!
Knew this song because of Tina Turner's version. Love the song! Thanks Ken, you make everything seem possible! Other coaches usually want only gifted students.
Thank you for your comment, Elisa!
Ken this is so bad ass! This song looks like it is a lot of fun sing! Thanks for the limited range breakdown. That's me on point
Yes, it was total fun, jason! Nice to hear from you!
You are right Ken! I am 24 years old, and I started to sing when I was 14. Ten years ago all I wanted was to sing high, high, high! Not respecting my own limits. I used to like only of Melodic Metal, and wanted to sing like the Melodic Metal singers. Today I look for my past thought and see that I didn't understand nothing. Today I think that the most beautiful thing about the voice is the diversity, the different timbers. Imagine if everyone was tenor, or if everyone was baritone, or if there was only one musical style! That would be really boring! This is what I think. Really good video Ken. Didn't know this song, and liked it too much too! Sorry if I wrote something wrong, English is not my first language. Keep on Ken! Watching from Brazil.
I'm glad you like the video, Joe! I like your comments. You are beginning to realize a lot of truths about the voice. Hello to all of my friends in Brazil!
Yaaay dance moves! You are killing it 💪🏼🎸
As a guitar player, for me it is a bit harder to dance or jump, but I'm doing it in your style 😎
Hi Ken, lovely song, man. It inspired me to write this poem: What is love…REALLY?
One of the finer questions in life,
being near you in spirit,
never letting go,
always prepared for the fall,
loosen grip to see you flourish,
but above all,
YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH TO OVERCOME ALL THE CHALLENGES LIFE HAS IN STORE FOR US!!!
Blessed be y'all,
Peter-Mathieu Kortsmit - Very nice, thanks for sharing.
Anytime I hear you and see you you bring me hope that someday I will sing. Thx bro! You're amazing.
Thanks for your kind comments, XenonTone. We all strive to improve.
Fantastic Ken!! Another flawless performance 👏👏🤘
Thank you JohnnieBoss!
this has to be my favorite video of yours
Ken , Robert Palmer could never even come close to singing like you on his best day , even if you had a cold . It is a good song to make the point you are making with it . We must be really close to the same age by the covers you do . I was in high school when Palmer came out with this song .
Thanks Mike!
Really good to hear ya do this one.Those octave notes (oblivion,closer, mind, saved etc)were killin me so I dropped it. Hearin and seeing you get up to those pitches gives me hope of addin it back to the active list.Thanks so much for posting!
OHN KUHN MUSIC - Glad the video helped.
Thanks for sharing bro! I LOVE Robert Palmers music, and don't get to hear it often enough!
Thanks, for commenting, bro! I appreciate you taking the time!
I like how you have fun with every song. You clearly enjoy singing and singing in various genres.
It's a lot more fun when you let yourself have fun! :-)
I think you're Awesome!!!.
So inspiring!
And Wow! So talented!
Thank You So Much.
Have a Good One!
Thank you, Janet! Stay inspired! :-)

💖
beautiful demonstration of "limited" voice, i would like to reach this level!
thank you dear Ken!
Thanks for commenting, Daniel!
One of the best... I wish I could be like u someday... More blessings Sir.... Salute. & Respect...
Thank you, Heaven!
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy the first song i heard from u is from steelheart...( she's gone )
I wish i could refresh my tone like a cpu.... Old days were gone..😁
Awesome Job! This was a great vid that range is far from the only thing that can make u an amazing singer :)
That's right, Hubert! I appreciate your comment!
Love your dance moves here! I do the same thing when I sing. hehe. Awesome video as always. :)
Thanks, Equus!
Another great job, Ken! The Records, the band I co-founded, had the honor and pleasure of opening shows for Robert, at his request, back in the day. He was a really cool, very nice guy, and sadly missed. A photo of one of the girls in his infamous video appears on the U.S. version of our first album. Cheers!
That's very cool, John! Good to hear from you!
what a vocal power you have sir....I follow your exercise and it works nicely..... thanks.....ktva is the great academy....
Thanks, Debjit!
You so funny! 😄 Thanks for the smile.
Very cool video as always.
Thank you!
Awesome! I actually have some questions that I've always wondered about you and I want to ask. 1.) How long have you been singing (even counting time done un-professionally, or before training). 2.) Have you been to the Grammys? I don't know why I wonder that but I guess it's just a thought of mine. And 3.) You had an awesome musical career with great accomplishments. So...what made you decide to somewhat end it and pursue teaching others and starting your own school? I think maybe one day you should make a video about YOURSELF because you are quite literally, one of the best online vocal coaches on RUclips and one of a very very few actually accomplished coaches. Thanks as always, Ken!
I started trying to sing when I was 19. It's been a long road. I studied with over 20 very famous coaches in the Los Angeles area, as well as Italy and in other states, spending every cent I had to try to learn to sing. What I found was that all of these coaches contradicted one another, and I spent about 30 years sorting out all of the rubbish from the gold.
I haven't received any grammys, but I've been to the Dove awards (Christian music "grammys") and been nominated/received awards there for my work.
Your third question is the most interesting, and most people won't even believe the answer to that part, because they don't understand who I am or what I'm about.
There was a point in my life where I was being offered auditions in several world-famous bands. I was known to a lot of high-level producers from my studio work, and word had gotten around the Los Angeles area about my vocal capabilities. These were paid auditions, and you had to sign a contract to accept their offer if you were selected for the job. You couldn't audition and then back out, without severe monetary penalties. You would recognize all of the bands. This happened at a time in my life when I had a young family. The offers I had required going on tour, on the road for 9 to 11 months out of the year, for five-year contracts. I would have had to be gone from my family through my kids' entire high school/teenage years. We needed the money, badly. The fame would have been insane. Instead of choosing that lifestyle, I chose my family. We travelled together and I coached my son's soccer teams in Argentina, Italy, and other countries. We spent that part of our lives together, as a family, instead of apart while I played rock star...
Then one day, after the kids were grown and in college, I looked around and saw this video camera sitting in front of me. And something clicked. I had all of this lifetime of knowledge and experience, and I decided to put it together to teach others what I had learned.
I don't regret my decisions at all. Life is full of choices.
That. Is an incredible answer and life story. Thank you. So so so much Ken. I was honestly losing hope for myself because I'm 17 and I thought "it's too late to achieve what I want, I'm too old now" because it seems a lot of successful singers started at really young ages. I am, as others, truly blessed to have a teacher as you. I am sure your family is also happy with your decision. Again, thank you
Kess Genre- You're just a youngster. A perfect age to start honing your talents. I think it's better to pursue the industry when you are an adult. You can, hopefully, make better choices for yourself. The road to success is littered with the carcasses of "child stars".
That was encouraging. Much of singing - to me anyway - seems to be strategic planning on how to emphasize strengths and work around weaknesses.
YEEAAHH!!!! I LOVE IT ! UHUUU!!! VIBRATING A LOT HERE ,I LOVE THIS SONG!
Thanks, Barbara! Your enthusiasm is delightful!
Awesome Ken. I love your channel. it really impresses me how much that u interact with all your followers. thank u so much for responding to your fans. keep up the great work. God bless.
Thanks for your comment, young boy. It's good to hear from so many of my fans and followers. So many are working to improve their voices! It's impressive to me how many fans are responding and sharing their stories here.
I had thyroid cancer and also had my whole neck fused and was cut from chin to chest. I retune music down to my range now. Baritone guitars tuned down to a standard.
I will be doing some recording soon and will let you know when I upload
Great performance, thank you for the inspiration and the teaching😉
I appreciate your comment, Carlos, and you are welcome, my friend!
Came here from your reaction video. I love how much fun you had with this. You sang the heck out of it! Great job, as always!
I have the pleasure of knowing personal the guitar girl. The world is small 😂 Love the song and your rendition! Lovve how much fun you're having with it!
Yes, It's a Small World After All! The Guitar Girl, no less! Thanks for your comment, Productionmark!
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Again: I love how much fun you had! Watched again and loved how you just had fun with it!
I might as well face it, I'm addicted to singing too. All great points on range. I never thought about this one, so grabbed my guitar, looked up the chords (easy), played and sang and my TC Helicon Voice Live Play has me at 93% accuracy in practice mode. I think I will keep this one! Thanks Ken, Rock on.
Awesome, David! Thanks for commenting, bro!
Robert Palmer is awesome 😎, he was gone to soon like all the greats.
So sad!
Mindblowingly amazing!!
Thanks so much, Triston Singh!
Fantastic Ken, i love this song.
Thank you, Marcos!
Great video! Thanks Ken! :) A few years ago I kept singing a lot of Dokken songs which I love, but I started to realize that I think Don's voice is a bit too high, compared to my voice. So in the past 15 months I started singing in Phil Lynott's range & style, from Thin Lizzy. His range wasn't exactly high either, a bit like Robert Palmer. I noticed straight away that my tone started to sound a lot better and more natural sounding, and some of my music friends and family said it sounded a lot better as well. Another good thing as well is I still sound like me, when I sing in his style or range. I've also been listening to Ben Orr from The Cars and Jack Blades from Night Ranger, who also didn't have massive high registers, and my voice seems to suit their stuff as well, but I don't want to limit myself, I want to keep learning different styles and find what suits my tone.
It's not at all how high you sing, but how you sing when you sing, whatever the notes are. Your style and technique come into play. Without those, high notes have little or no meaning. And low notes, sung well, can ROCK!
Yeah definitely, I agree 100%. Your videos have helped me a lot! over the last few years, thanks again!
Sound Excellent Ken!!!👍👍👍
Thank you kindly!
Thanks Ken. I'm like you, male, about the same age and voice. I never thought I could sing but now I see that there is no reason I can't. Once I get the breathing down I think I could be a decent singer.
funny, I heard this song recently and thought "that sounds doable for me" but then tried it, I think he is hitting A5 (or what ever note is the 5th fret on high e of a guitar) and even stays up there for a verse, not so limited in range after all. I can sing Wayword son with it's G4 but not this. Great performance by the way, even Ken looks like he had to push some air out to hit that A5. I singed up for the course, hoping to get those extra 2 notes eventually, and hopefully not tear up my voice so much doing so.
I love this guy!!
That is so nice of you to say, Nikki! You made my day! Thank you!
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
I'm so glad you do, mushroom! Stick around.
Awesome brother! I love how you have so much fun with each song you sing!
t34s3= Thank you!
Great stuf Mister Ken Tamplin! I love your rendition very much! Your perfomance is super, super good! Thank you very much for sharing! Greatest applause!!!
Thank you, Roses1401!
Everything you sing sounds wonderful, I love your voice so mmmuuuccchh 🤣
Thank you, Pamshairexpo! You are very kind!
This was great! Love your cover!! Such a fun song!
I love this song, awesome!! Also with Tina Turner... GREAT!!
Paula de Loro 👍👍👍
A4 is not a laugh in terms of range though, especially for me. Great vid!
Thanks for your comment, Truth!
This is a fantastic video. Got me dancing at 6am. Robert Palmer was underrated. I appreciate that you picked one of his songs to demonstrate that a person doesn't have to have a huge range to be a great singer.
There are lots of options and choices. We can really rock on some songs that are more accessible to us!
I am really wanting to get your course. I am amazed by your singing. I am excited at the prospect of learning what you know.
Then you will be very happy when you see how much information is in the course. My entire life is poured into my course. And your voice will grow like crazy if you do as I instruct.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I have neglected music for a long time and I miss it. There's much I need to learn. This is me at a song writing competition in Tulsa. ruclips.net/video/JLG1C-jguVg/видео.html
Original vocal arrangements. By Chaka Khan
This is an awesome video. The vocals, the dancing, and just overall vibe. Nice
It was just a fun song to do.
Vous adorez la musique et ça parait, j'aime vous regardez dans ce plaisir. Merci.
Merci, Gisele!
Your singing is sooooooo good! Holy cow!
Thanks, blue46gt!
thank you for the lesson Sensei
Unaaaagi You bet!
Man that was an awesome rendition
Thanks, Kevin!
Awesome Ken as always
Thank you, Richard Lee R!
Awsome man! Never expected any less! Loving your boogie at the start! 😂 Keep rocking Ken!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks, Sarah!
🥰Thanks love this song
Too awesome! There's something I would love to see you singing and talking about one day, which is this Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole style that I think is called "crooner". I see many people singing in this style, but I don't see people talking about the style itself.
Have you seen this video, Thiago? ruclips.net/video/xVNnr246F8c/видео.html
Ohh I haven't. Thanks, Ken. I'll watch it now.
That was FANTASTIC Ken!!!! I miss Palmer so much! The Power Station is one of my favorite bands of all time.
Thanks, Condesa! I appreciate your comments!
You're great, Ken. I greet you from Italy.
Give my regards to all of my friends in Italy! Such a wonderful country!
Awww...I remember when this song came on MTV when hey actually played music. I had heard that Robert Palmer had died...is that true? Great rendition. It's true...he definitely made the most of his range.
Yes. Robert left us too soon.
Love it😍😍😍
Great job on a great song, just as always! Thank you, Ken, you can truly inspire like no one else!
And yeah, by the way, there's been a song that's been bugging me for a long time. Can you do "URGENT" by Foreigner? Honestly, I'd love to see how you can handle that one
You must know how much I like Lou Gramm's voice!
Yeah, I do! And I really want to see, how you can sing this one. Thanks!
Very good Ken. You have a wonderful voice and you are a great teacher. I have studied a lot of your tips and I have greatly improved my singing. God bless you very much and always success.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, Davidson! I'm glad these videos are helping you to sing better! :-)
Taking me back to some good ol days! Dang you sure can sang Ken!! 😘❤️❤️💪🏽💃🏻
StarShine LoveLightLover- Thank you!
Robert Palmer was really cool. You did him a worthy solid with this one!
I'm glad you think so, no name!
Awesome job Ken, ZZ Top had Women , Cars, and spinning Guitars and Robert palmer had women behind him playing guitars.
Yes, those concept videos were quite the showpieces. Fun from the 80's! But the music was classic!
Congrats from Brazil, buddy... you f* rock
Cristiano Souza- Thanks!
Neil Diamond is another one without much range that is absolutely great.
Fantastic great rock song...
Yes, it's a good one!
GREAT !!!
Excellent!
Thanks, Sleepy! :-)
Jim Morrison was another great singer w/ a limited range! "Riders on the Storm" was one of the first 45rpm singles I bought.
Yes, you're absolutely right! But what a great voice. Tons of emotion and feeling conveyed. "Riders" is a classic.
that was great ken another fun song to do remember the cutting crew I just died in your arms tonight that don't have lot of upper range I guess they would more power notes maybe I don't know but keep rocking brio
Thanks, Paul!
nice job Ken!
Good job, ken!
Thanks, Jet!
awesome
Fantastically performed!! Like the Chicago song. Your my inspiration!!! :-)
Thanks, danseit!
Hey, it's well deserved Ken and thank you so much for your time to reply, and well, for you being you, of course!! I'm sure you get a ton of comments and inquires, so, I was really surprised that you had take the time to respond... How you have helped me, Ken: I was in Choir since grade school and a lead singer in a local band (years ago) here in the SF Bay Area, during my college days. I had such a great time back then! I'd even won some awards at the time, in some vocal competitions. As you well know, sometimes, life has a way of getting in the way. So, I had just stopped singing music over time... But, by watching and subscribing to your channel, it has really lit the fire and inspired me to again get back to singing and performing vocals when I play the piano, or guitar. And when I watch you nail a song, like you've done so often on your RUclips channel, it inspires me, and makes me want to start singing again!! I really like to learn new things, allot. So, I started a brand new RUclips channel for things that I love and I'm passionate about. So, right now it's mostly just me talking about my artwork, paintings and photography and my custom finished guitars people seem to really like, but, it's about art in general... So, If you like art, paintings and photography, or that sort of thing, you are welcome to look me up online (Google Search), or you can search for me on RUclips also. My name is: Dan Seitzinger. Anyway Ken, I do hope you have a wonderful day my friend, okay, take care!! And thank you again for your inspiration to start singing again!!! :-) Your fan, Danny
Nailed it.
Thanks, Jason! Rock on!
Thanks Ken. Great video sorry to ask can you cover a old country song or a version of a female artist . I would love your thoughts on how you address a song like poncho and lefty, Or a Joan Osborne one of us . Totally understand they are not big range songs . But to be honest I learn every time you share. Thanks again your our singing Yoda.👍🏻
I appreciate your comment, George, and I'll see what I can do.
Master!
:-)
Awesome !!! Great cover😁🖒
dan Glad you think so!
Brilliant as ever Ken.
Wilf Adams👍👍👍
Hey Ken, nice video!
Question here: how can you develop a better sense of rythm in your singing?
I've been listening to some D'Angelo recently, and the flow of his singing is just so groovy. I'm actually starting noticing this "groove" singing in a lot of artists now.
Is this just something that comes in with time? And is groove singing even a thing?
Yes, groove is a thing. It's the rhythm of the accents of the syllables. You can have smooth grooves and choppy grooves, but because music is a series of cyclic patterns and lyrics tend to be a series of cyclic, poetic phrases, they work together to weave patterns that are pleasing to the brain, as well as to the ears. Add to that a nice visual delivery and you've got a nice package. Open Throat Singing can really put you into some nice grooves, as well. The nice thing about grooves is how they can make you feel good. Good Grooves can put you in a nice state of being.
Great Job! Nice playing! Should've called up Tori,Alyona,Sara and Gab.....Wink! Wink!
Yes, what a lineup! They wouldn't just dance, though. They would all take a turn with the mic! What a superstar chorus line that would be!
I love it!
Thanks for the visit. Rock on! 👍
