  • Sing Without Tension - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
    Singing is a sport and the voice should be treated as such.
    Tension starts by "forcing" or "overusing" various muscle groups that start a cascading affect of "binding up" muscle.
    Many coaches on the internet advocate there should be "no tension."
    With any kind of resistance training you will always have a degree of the sensation of resistance. The goal is to strength train correctly so that you can manage away stress/tension. I see many vocal coaches (and their students) promoting the idea that "there should be no stress while singing" and therefore frustrating the heck out of singers who think there is "something wrong with themselves" because they can't, overnight, achieve this "stress free" singing. (this also gives a vocal coach "tribal knowledge" to keep you coming back to them as the only one who has the answer to this elusive concept) This is nonsense and here's why: Singing is like a sport. And with any sport, it's not the absence of stress, it's the management of stress that makes a great athlete. Think of it like this: When Lionel Messi is going to goal, do you think his body is "stressed?" (Anyone who says it isn't has never played a sport before). But Lionel has learned the art of training his body and mind for that moment when it's time for him to step on the gas, take on 3 players and score what "looks" like an "effortless goal." But you can be assured, it was not done "without effort" or without "stress." Lionel achieved this through training his technical abilities as well as building stamina and muscle memory to achieve this consistency. Now it is true that some styles of singing require less stamina than others and therefore can be accomplished with less strength training. In other words, singing a light pop song requires very little "strength" in the sound whereas singing a heavy rock song often requires incredible strength and stamina. This is also true for those (like myself) that want to push their "limits" and abilities to be all they can be. This of course requires more "effort" and technical training. With that said, there are many stages to building this "stamina" and it's ok to "find yourself" as one first starts with "damaging street singing" (with total stress) and going through the different stages of learning how to manage this stress away from the voice through correct training. If I didn't show the different stages of this process, and only showed "perfection", people would never learn that these people are all human, having to work on their craft just like yourself.

      Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Hey, Mr. Tamplin, have you ever heard of a Japanese artist named Yasushi Ishii? If you have, can you do a video where you explain how he sings? If not, he's a music artist in anime that specializes in jazz, hard rock, experimental, and classical. I need to know how exactly he sing for a 'specific' reason. I'm not going to copy his singing or anything, just to let you know. Also, I think you two sing similarly and you would sound great singing some of his songs like "Death Dance", "Soul Rescuer", "Yugure", "Hatred Guy of Sinfulness", "Sky Walker", and "When Going to a War, use a Bow."

    Just observing that Ken is a good example of true self confidence, he can say with a smile that what he do is awesome, and unlike vanity it still feel humble because it rely on a fondation of profound truth. Vanity is a mechanism to hide that deep inside the person thinks differently than what he is showing and even telling himself. So, that’s why I really trust him, and I want this self confidence to with my singing. He can transmit it because he have it for real.

    I used to be a rock and a metal singer in the past. I went through many stages of experimenting with my voice, from overshouting and destroing my voice to singing way too overprotectively. I'm not a band singer anymore but I still love singing and I must confess I have struggled with finding my way how to do it for many years. Sometimes I couldn't hit a note, sometimes my throat went sore while I was singing just for my own pleasure and for myself. After I watched a few of your free videos Mr. Tamplin, something clicked. I'm not the best singer in the world, I'm not even on semi-pro level I think, but it's great and surprising to me that I can now do better than anytime in the past. I mean, now I'm able to sing in the way that matches my best moments in the career but without all of the effort I've always had to put into hitting the right note without losing my voice at the same time. I'm 40 y.o. now and thanks to you I've suddenly found THE way. Now, I can effortlesly sing songs I wrote when I was 20 y.o. as well as some other songs that were hard to sing for me in the past. I mean, probably I'm not much better than I was 20 years ago, but now it costs me nothing to sing the songs that I always considered very hard to sing and voice-destroying.
    Thank you for all of that Mr. Tamplin! You're amazing voice coach! And please, forgive me my English, it's not my mother tongue.

    Hey thanks for boosting my confidence again. I was almost on the verge of giving up vocals all together but then I found your video but mind you. I haven't even started those exercises yet. I've just tried singing with my throat open and utilised the air in my stomach instead of just putting all the pressure on my throat which was making my throat tight and making me tired soon and already I see a massive difference in my vocals. Thanks for this awesome video man. You rock 😊🤘🏻

    Hey Ken! I came across this video about 3 years ago and I have to say it changed my life. I couldn't sing falsetto nor belt before. My chest voice always used to be pretty limited and I felt I would suffer vocal damage from trying to sing high. But thank you so much Ken! Your videos taught me a lot on how to project your voice properly and even though I still have loads to learn, I'm getting there :). Thank you once again ❤️.

    6 minutes in, and you've taught me enough to sing 2 full tones higher than before, WITHOUT straining my vocal chords.
    Good job!

    I remember I watched a TV show called Kenny vs spenny in which spenny went to a vocal coach for the competition. She said " Air is a singer's gasoline " I always remembered that, but I thought back then I couldn't sing. The reason I could sing is I never took my headphones out. Never listened to my own voice. Now people compliment me when I walk down the street. I think with your videos I'm going to get my voice to where it really can go to.

    You stating that you don't like to learn things you have to relearn later reminded me of a statement that Buddy Ebsen made regarding Shirley Temple as a child actress.
    Buddy Ebsen speaking of Shirley Temple when they did a movie together with a dance scene in it. She arrived for rehearsal and he was working on the choreography. He had the dance done and mentioned to her that he was thinking of making changes. Her response was: "OK, let me know when your done." and then she turned and walked away. Buddy Ebsen said he wanted to spank her for that, but, she was right. There is no point in learning dance moves that you will later have to unlearn.
    Despite her age, Shirley Temple was a professional.

    But you made it all better! I really dig the interactive parts of the videos too. I could SERIOUSLY feel the difference with the yawning thing.

    My posture has always been bad due to Scoliosis. I also use a wheelchair. So that doesn't help with my breath support or core strength either. Hoping I can still use these exercises to build both of those things up better.

    I tried a singing coach once. She had me singing "Elton John: Your Song" for 3 weeks. I gave up. I practiced with what she was trying to teach, but maybe having me learn a song I like would have been better. She refused to change the song to something good so I quit. Maybe my fault, but I need to have fun when learning. During one class she had her 3 year old in the room. That wasn't distracting at all lol........Anyway I have fun watching your videos. One 11 minute video is better than the 3 hours I spent with her.

      Hey Ken. I just want to add what you're doing is absolutely wonderful. You're out here really trying to help people and you don't have to do this for free, but you do. You're an inspiration to someone like me who gave up singing and just stuck to playing guitar. I'm not saying I'll have a career or anything now, but maybe through your videos I'll have some more confidence. Thank you Sir.

    Finally a singing lesson on RUclips. That doesnt involve chewing on an aluminum can or tying a belt around your jaw. Among other absurd exercises. That would seem closer to how a dog plays with a toy. Than how a person would improve their singing. Lol

(Jerks lol) I'm now 29 years old and I'm trying to gain the courage to give it a shot! I've had people tell me I'm good but I remember my evil siblings lol! I have faith that maybe one day I'll be good enough to sing in front of people! Your videos are helping me!!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

    You're an excellent teacher. I'm a life-long guitarist just now learning how to sing! I've notice if I eat a small cup full of fresh ginger ( take about 20 minutes to consume it), my stomach feels relaxed afterwards, this is 'only' with ginger. They say the stomach is the second brain, that's why stress goes to our gut. So, try the ginger thing one day. Thx Ken.
