you sure did, this was very encouraging. I have very low confidence in singing. and i pretty much feel hopeless. It is one of the most important things in my life and i cant afford lessons...
You've really inspired me. I would love to belt out a song to get rid of stress and emotions, but never believed I could because I'd hear a recording of myself and just delete it in shame. Now you've given me the push I need, and the belief in myself. Thank you. :)
I could't agree with you more. Remember. We ALL have influences that we put into our arsenal of things we pull out when we need them. Thank you for your post
Thanks for putting this out there Ken! 2 years ago I finally had the guts to take up singing and it has been the best decision in my life. Been documenting my journey the best I can ever since on my channel. I'm 100% with you that it's all practice and commitment
dude, not right now cause i'm broke, but in about a year i'm buying your course.. love your videos, you're amazing singer and seem to be an amazing teacher.. really, i'm impressed. also: RIP headphone users, and my roommate, that's going to hate you in a year from now thanks for all the free information so far
@@kentamplin yes I read it and I would love more than anything to be your student and learn how to be a great rocker. I want to sing with confidence and theatrics od Kiss with lyrics and guitar combo of Strypers. You'd be the perfect singing mentor for me that I always wanted for this... unfortunately my car a few days ago broke down (broken subframe, gotta love MI road salt on metal :'( ) so this means I can't afford it for a while (again your prices are fair so nothing against you or anything it's my sadly broken car) and I'm trying to save up for a house. That's why I thought maybe singing might be the key to something new, something I'm passionate about and maybe a way to help make a possible slim chance of a career dream come true even if it is as a roadie for a starter. So far God's closed the door on every dream I had and I know it's for a good reason as He's protecting me like the loving Father He is and I know His ways are good but I feel this door is the last one and if this isn't meant to be either then I'm done 100% dreaming of anything new. Again it's not a complaint it's a truth cause things could be alot worse so Gods blessed me pretty darn good considering. Sorry to throw that at you, you shared so much in your videos and amazing academy emails I felt it was ok to share one with you.
Thank you so much, you are the only one who has the decency to respond. I just sent a video of me doing vocal training and sing a song I like. God bless
@danjenm60s the voice is a muscle. and like any muscle it can be rehabilitated. not sure about your start from scratch question, you should start out learning good technique. this is what will help you get back on track
Thanks for your awesome "pep talk" Ken!!! You are inspiring others to Believe in themselves and to practise their craft!!! This video showed us that you are a friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic soul!!! Thanks deeply for making time to share your talents with us!!! As my roomate was dying of Cancer I wrote a lot of songs and now I am going to work on musically developing them!!! Being able to find you so easily on the Internet is so awesome!!! Plz keep doing your amazing singing and enjoy your Life!!!
You're welcome, sandra, for the instruction and for the inspiration. I am sorry for your loss of your roommate, and I encourage you to carry on with your writing and singing. I'm just a few clicks away, anytime you need some advice or demonstrations. :-)
You truly are very sweet!!! Later tonight I izzzA gonna Sai some Prayers to Our Precious Creator of Life to Bless you because you are a very sincere soul who is greatly enriching many caring members of Humanity!!!😇🐇🐶🐀🐹🐣🐏
Yup. It's official. I'm addicted to your videos. I'm not a singer by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm obsessed with singing and singers. I'm also not a drummer but I'm hooked on drum videos.
Im 14, and ive been singing since age 6. Singing is my passion, and what I want to go to college for... but im having problems singing. My throat will start hurting within 3 to 5 minutes(sometimes) and I cant sing for awhile after that. Im wondering if its b/c I dont have toncils OR im not singing right. Im in 8th grade and going to highschool next year so I REALLY am freaking out about what I should do so I can find a pathway. Im always listeing and singing to music, it my EVERYTHING!
@TyreTag yes Matt sings with a very "bright" timbre. If you notice he brings most of the sound into the front of his face (this is called "mask technique. I teach this at the ken tamplin vocal academy). If you smile when you sing, you will start to hear what I am talking about. Of course there is much more to it than this. But this is the concept
This video seriously got me motivated.. I love to sing, and people tell me I have a good voice, but it needs work. I'm not gonna give up! (: Thank you so much for uploading this!
Hey Ken, I'm a metalcore singer from Brazil and I practice everyday but... don't see much improvement on my voice, I was about to give up, then I saw that video... so, thank you. ^^
Ken, this statement totally changed my life and my motivation to move on and keep trying to be a good singer. I used to think I wasn't talented enough and that made me give up on trying to carry on and try to become better always. Thank you.
@SteaItheR it's called a release valve. It's something I teach in my DVD series.. Vibrato is actually the relaseing of a note well place and with good support to get the note to relaw for sustain and reasonance (power)
So f´ true!! A singer's got to have guts to sing! Finally I hear sb well known and with PLENTY of knowledge on the subject say it. Couldn't agree more.
i'm in the same situation as you were in.I'm 18 and just starting to take my voice seriously. I'm mainly a guitarist and I only sing because I'm in a cover band. and my highest note is a high B.. I would really love to go through your lessons and improve my range and tone as you did.
You've given man inspiration to believe in myself in terms of singing. I actually formed my band and tried to find a vocalist to front the band. Only to realize that I am the only one who can connect personally and emotionally with the lyrics I wrote. I do want to be a better singer and hope to learn as much as I can from you.
Man, i'm a bass player here in Brazil and you make me fell like "I can do that". If one day i became a god rock singer, i'll send you one video. Thanks for your lessons i hope one day sings like you (or like Eric Martin...hehehe)
So inspirational! I am working on my voice. I have just started taking my voice seriously a few months ago, but all I did was practice songs. I never did warm ups. And recently I kinda started feeling down cause u couldn't get this Frank Sinatra song to sound right and I wasn't going to give up or anything, I was just losing my confidence and that's probably the most important thing with singing (or anything) and I am glad I found this video! In inspired me to keep going! Thanks for the help ma
Singing is like exercising! You're just retraining your body to use the right parts to sound great. It's muscle memory, habit, etc. I have surprised myself with my improvement, and I'm continuing to improve thanks to you 😊
You really give me hope. I love singing but I'm so shy and feel embarrassed. I don't like people to see me singing and that's because my brothers tell me I sound like a cat being strangled :( . That put me off singing.
@WatashiwaRaiandesu that's a really good question. You really don't know your register until you try different ways to gauge it. But let's look at it more like this. How big are your muscles and how hard (with the right information) are you willing to beat up the tall guy :-)
At age 15 I began training in the opera vocal style, but after a couple of years I switched to Jazz/Blues. It was hard at first because, as you know, opera's a different technique. I'm now 49 and wanting to sing again, but my voice is different due to hormonal changes etc. and recent sinus surgery. Do you think I am better learning from scratch? I've lost half an octave upper range & half octave low range.
Very cool video and I loved when you talked about bob dillon and Louis Armstrong etc and I agree there’s only a few nightingales out there and then there’s everyone else 👍👍
When I was 17, my highest was a A4 and that was when I strained for it. Consistency would be a G4 or F#4. Now I'm 2 years into the KTVA program. Highest note right now? Bb5 sometimes C6 in head voice if I squeak it up. Chest voice up to a Bb4 or C5. :) Never give up!
Perhaps due to the fact that vocal cords (or folds) are anchored by muscle tissue attached to the larynx, this could be the 'workout' said muscle could use to strengthen itself (slow contraction and stretching creates micro-tears in the muscle fibers - the muscle will grow back stronger as a result). Thereby allowing for more accuracy and sustain at higher octaves.
I'm thinking a lot about getting your course lately. I'm a guitar player that wants to become also a serious singer and I find your words and story really inspiring (I'm a baritone, too!). You truly are a great teacher and singer, Ken. Thank you for sharing this!
Wow, I cannot believe you just said that about being a baritone! My singing teacher back in the day told me I was a 2nd baritone and that I should give up trying to be a rock singer, as most or all of them are tenors... I'm guessing? So, that being said, the band I was in was kind enough to tune down a whole step for me...crazy right! So glad I watched this! Thanks, agw.
What an inspiration. Thank You for this 'little talk', and did I mention I've seen many of your other videos?....Fantastic voice, AND not a Diva?... You are humble and gifted like very few have been. You make points and suggestions that make anyone think in a new direction.
Haha.. I was sitting here watching this vid and it is 4am, when Ken started wailing it out, my dog went crazy barking. I freaked out thinking she was going to wake my 4 month old.
Just a great video that is so true, and how often are people put down for trying and not getting right the first time. You try and sing get told you can't sing so you go through life believing you will never be able to sing.
Hey Ken, just went to your site and heard you sing against a that bunch of classics track. Really solid stuff. Without mentioning any names, it's a fact that you can't barely find any tracks on RUclips with many so called experts. They look great, have the right words and testimonials, etc. The problem is that we have no idea how they sound... maybe if we buy their kit we might have a chance to hear them but your wallet is empty by then> At least you have the guts to show us how it's done. Best
My vocal teacher tells me that my placement is Countertenor. I cannot sing lower notes than F3 very well. In an SATB choir, the Tenor part is low for me...everyone else tells me that. I've always been able to carry Alto and Soprano lines. Solo, I sing in the Alto/Mezzo-Soprano range (F3 to G5). One day, I would love to be a Tenor but they say that it happen in my somewhat older years.
I try not to "strive" fore anything when I sing. :-) I do believe in understanding and using a powered larynx position when learning open throat. Once te mechanism can support it, the larynx and pharynx raise and spread depending where you are in your vocal tract.
I wish I'd seen this video when it was first posted. I'm a 36 Yr old single muma musician (piano, guitar, drums). Played most in bands. Always wanted to sing. Starting now. It's not too late, right?
You are insperational, i totally agree, i couldn't sing to save my life but i loved it and did it anyway and now, everyone tells me i've got a good voice and i wanna go on x factor UK so you are totally right :)
I like the fact you answer people who comment on your vids. My question is many teachers demonstrate a scale like ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, I am learning guitar too, what scale are they singing? what scales for rock would you practice with your voice? I am trying to sing the notes i play to teach myself ear training and singing
HRROach- have you joined my vocal forum yet? These are the types of questions myself or my commentators answer. Check it out! forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com
Hi Ken, My name is Alex and I dwell in Moscow. I am an aspiring singer and I think I have the guts to become a very good one (if I master a correct technique). I admire your timbre and your range and - above all - your artistic passion and thank you for encouraging me and a whole lot of other guys across the world to sing and believe in ourselves. I can tell that you walk the walk and really can sing loud and pretty relaxed, but sometimes with some distortion - something that I want to do as well, but get strained and choke instead. By the way, I am very much influenced by Michael Kiske and Sebastian Bach as well as other hard rock/metal singers. My question is - is it possible to attend your tutorials in the USA and do you have any at all (I mean you seem to be so popular that your time is probably all booked up)? I believe that under the supervision of a qualified vocal coach you can progress much faster without damaging your voice ( I am currently taking some bel canto lessions, but all I really want to perform is rock). Thank you, Ken! Best regards, Alex PS This Russian guy reminds me a little bit of you - check this out - ruclips.net/video/lrSKG3TS0uE/видео.html
@thanx4themusic Bob Dylan actually became a Christian back in the late 80's and wrote many songs about Christ like "Serve Somebody". He was Jewish prior to that.
kool attitude Ken.. I always tell people ... anyone that isnt tone deaf can become a really good singer, if you learn the secrets from someone that knows how to teach them, it just keeps getting easier.

Thanks dude
its nice to see a good musician that makes it with actual effort. SUBSCRIBED
Thank you, Ken, I never met a singer that could explain to me about that tecnique, and you made it became simple, so... thanks from Brazil.
Im 14, and ive been singing since age 6. Singing is my passion, and what I want to go to college for... but im having problems singing.

@SteaItheR it's called a release valve. It's something I teach in my DVD series.. Vibrato is actually the relaseing of a note well place and with good support to get the note to relaw for sustain and reasonance (power)

DUDE, so much skill! Incredible.
You really give me hope. I love singing but I'm so shy and feel embarrassed. I don't like people to see me singing and that's because my brothers tell me I sound like a cat being strangled :( . That put me off singing.
Thank you for your inspiring tips. God bless
I love your enthusiasm ken, that's what it's all about. Very interesting and informative. Thanks man
***** :-)
You just made my day Ken! You have helped me so much in such a short time...Thanks man.
Yes, just make sure your sample is in MP3 format.
Thanks its motivating! Its the guts to be youreself and sing...
@WatashiwaRaiandesu that's a really good question. You really don't know your register until you try different ways to gauge it. But let's look at it more like this. How big are your muscles and how hard (with the right information) are you willing to beat up the tall guy :-)
@wtchoutfertoby Layne was an incredibly passionate singer...too bad we lost him so early. Thank you for all your kind comments.
This video inspired me... Thank you sooo much for making it!
When you sang, I made a huge smile like WOW.
I absolutely love your way you see the world !
Ken you really gave me some major inspiration with this video!
That was me too when I was in my 20's too. :-) (F#4 was my highest consistent note)
I did do a vocal demo of his
At age 15 I began training in the opera vocal style, but after a couple of years I switched to Jazz/Blues. It was hard at first because, as you know, opera's a different technique.

Good evening Ken, I Hope you can help me, I have difficulty in holding notes, do you have any suggestions or tips? thank you so much and more power!
@zMcuzins yes, I demonstrate this thoroughly in my Licks & Tricks DVD
Wow, your words changed how i think about my voice, Thankyou for your opinion!
I wish, I had enough money to get classes from him.
Seriously, his classes might be amazing.

Thank you so much, you’ve made me realize I can really do this, I’m gonna make it and do what I love, it’s just gonna take time.
You can do it!
Perhaps due to the fact that vocal cords (or folds) are anchored by muscle tissue attached to the larynx, this could be the 'workout' said muscle could use to strengthen itself (slow contraction and stretching creates micro-tears in the muscle fibers - the muscle will grow back stronger as a result).

I too as you see started out as a guitarist. This will seriously rock your voice
@choppapinetime it keeps from stricturing the back of throat from choking off the air...
Wow, I cannot believe you just said that about being a baritone! My singing teacher back in the day told me I was a 2nd baritone and that I should give up trying to be a rock singer, as most or all of them are tenors... I'm guessing? So, that being said, the band I was in was kind enough to tune down a whole step for me...crazy right! So glad I watched this! Thanks, agw.
GOD BLESS YOU MAN! YOU ARE A REAL STUD
Ken, you totally rock, man! Have a great Christmas.
The course actually also includes a section on how to play guitar and sing at the same time.
Thank you so so much for this video!!! I'm just starting to learn how to sing and you really helped me to believe I can do anything! Rock on man!
What an inspiration. Thank You for this 'little talk', and did I mention I've seen many of your

hahha
I need to be able to sing in head with that intensity.
His normal voice while not singing sounds amazing already
I personally liked his earlier stuff with the Jackson 5 than his later stuff...
Thank you for truth!!!!!!! You are an inspiration of purity from your heart!
your very inspirational and thank you so much!!
Thank you for sharing from your heart!
Just a great video that is so true, and how often are people put down for trying and not getting right the first time. You try and sing get told you can't sing so you go through life believing you will never be able to sing.

I've always been able to carry Alto and Soprano lines. Solo, I sing in the Alto/Mezzo-Soprano range (F3 to G5). One day, I would love to be a Tenor but they say that it happen in my somewhat older years.
I'm just going to answer the question straight up, YES !
Year ago I was terrible at singing, now I improved so much :)
It's coming
I try not to "strive" fore anything when I sing. :-) I do believe in understanding and using a powered larynx position when learning open throat. Once te mechanism can support it, the larynx and pharynx raise and spread depending where you are in your vocal tract.
I wish I'd seen this video when it was first posted. I'm a 36 Yr old single muma musician (piano, guitar, drums). Played most in bands. Always wanted to sing. Starting now. It's not too late, right?
thanks! :-)
You are insperational, i totally agree, i couldn't sing to save my life but i loved it and did it anyway and now, everyone tells me i've got a good voice and i wanna go on x factor UK so you are totally right :)
I like the fact you answer people who comment on your vids. My question is many teachers demonstrate a scale like ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, I am learning guitar too, what scale are they singing? what scales for rock would you practice with your voice? I am trying to sing the notes i play to teach myself ear training and singing

Wow. Nice! I like how inspirational this video is.
Hi Ken,
My name is Alex and I dwell in Moscow. I am an aspiring singer and I think I have the guts to become a very good one (if I master a correct technique). I admire your timbre and your range and - above all - your artistic passion and thank you for encouraging me and a whole lot of other guys across the world to sing and believe in ourselves. I can tell that you walk the walk and really can sing loud and pretty relaxed, but sometimes with some distortion - something that I want to do as well, but get strained and choke instead. By the way, I am very much influenced by Michael Kiske and Sebastian Bach as well as other hard rock/metal singers. My question is - is it possible to attend your tutorials in the USA and do you have any at all (I mean you seem to be so popular that your time is probably all booked up)? I believe that under the supervision of a qualified vocal coach you can progress much faster without damaging your voice ( I am currently taking some bel canto lessions, but all I really want to perform is rock).
Thank you, Ken!
Best regards,
Alex

@thanx4themusic Bob Dylan actually became a Christian back in the late 80's and wrote many songs about Christ like "Serve Somebody". He was Jewish prior to that.
Thank you for inspiring me.
Oh my God. Your Your first note woke everyone in my house. Your voice is much louder than my sound system. Now watching on my phone using earphone...
I have quite a few CD's out :-)
kool attitude Ken.. I always tell people ... anyone that isnt tone deaf can become a really good singer, if you learn the secrets from someone that knows how to teach them, it just keeps getting easier.
