Heart - Alone - Ann Wilson - Isolated Vocals - Analysis and Tutorial - Recording Techniques/Secrets
Heart’s release of “Alone” continued the band’s comeback from the “Barracuda” days and with producer Ron Nevison help, the band successfully resurrected their career.
What other producers can you think of that have also had a notable impact in bringing back the careers of artists who needed a fresh start?
For this vocal tutorial I’ve got the isolated vocal track from Ann Wilson’s recording of “Alone” so we can explore it line by line.
As we look at how the song was recorded, we’ll also dive into emulating Ann’s sound and you may be surprised how attainable it is to tackle this tune.
Check it out!

Ann Wilson, in my opinion, the best female vocal ever.
Ann is unsurpassed!
Hello Angelo3D, where are you from ?
@@kentamplin Hi Ken, I know you have listened to Floor Jansen because I have seen your videos, and you know that she covered this same song, but you are aware that she did it again, from her home, she put it on YT two days ago I invite you to analyze it, that would be great, the sound is impressive !!! Greetings from Argentina, take care, I love what you do.
Ever hear of Moriah Formica? She’s a reincarnation!!
Hands down the best. 🤘🤘 she's my favorite
She can sing with the gentle whisper of falling snow, or she can belt like a hurricane, but either way, it's exactly what the performance calls for.
Yes indeed! Thanks for listening!
Ann Wilson is my favorite female singer of all time. So amazing. Thank you for this video Ken. Thank you for this wonderful series!
And she can do it in an instant.
So eloquently put... She is also, my #1all time female vocalist.
@markleeman9932 there are a few female singers that have lots of talent. Pat Benatar comes to mind. They both are top shelf,with Pat having a bit higher range. For me, it comes down to type of voice, and I prefer Ann's. I think she has a bit more lower range as well as the higher range. I like the quality of her voice. Pat is still a force as a singer.
None of these great rock singers would win any of these modern day voice competition shows, that's what makes them great. No one will remember who won The Voice last year but we'll be discussing Ann Wilson for another 40 years.
Rock on!
The 'out of control' scream is what's called for in the song. It's "stepping out" of control to convey the anguished soul of the woman in the song. It's perfect in my opinion. Had she nailed it "perfectly" from a vocal perspective, I wouldn't have believed her feelings.
😊
Nailed it!
Wilson sisters are both so talented. My favorite rock band
I agree! I actually sing this song myself and in live performance 'the scream' everytime comes out differently, depending on what I am feeling emotionally at that point.
Absolutely, a 'break' in the voice can be used to great emotional effect. If it becomes too clinical you cannot really sell it.
I think Anne's world-famous riff in this song is exactly the way she wanted it -- borderline out of control which makes it the perfect expression of the singer's passion and frustration. In Celine Dion's cover of the song she does the riff much more controlled and correct and it doesn't have nearly the impact. It's fun hearing all different singers try their version of this riff but none has ever beaten Ann's cri de coeur. It wouldn't work nearly so well if it weren't pushed almost to the point of becoming an unmusical scream.
Nicely said.
Ann has emotion. You can't manufacture that.
Yeah, she’s not doing a vocal session for the Bee Gees… It’s visceral.
I think it’s as great as any Robert Plant phrase from Led Zeppelin three.
@@humanactivated1017 Indeed. There are a lot of great technical singers out there that tend to get too clinical. Which feels flat and boring. Emotion is key!
Ann gives me goosebumps when she sings. She's amazing.
her voice is fantastic
Ann has something special. Her vocal ability knocks me out, but there's something wild and fierce that makes her mesmerizing. Sometimes we just have to admit there are certain qualities that are hard to put our fingers on. We can analyze her all day long and still not really understand what it is about her voice that moves us.
exactly!
Agreed! Another one for me is Ian Gillan.... Tremendous!
wow well said.. I've alwsys thought her soul came through like a search light in her voice... its unmistakable and so very moving
She is perfect throughout the whole song, especially where you say she is all over the place. You can’t teach that raw emotion. Those vocals are so powerful it gives me the chills.
That ”scream” is perfect....
👍👍👍
I took my husband to see Heart in 2019. Of all the concerts I’ve been to, she was absolutely incredible and on top of her game just 2 years ago. She blew the top off the arena. I was speechless. We were in row 8, but we could have been in the nosebleed seats and would have been very pleased. If anyone has the chance to see her and her sister in the future, take it. They may be older rock stars, but they put most famous young singers to shame.
Awesome! I agreee!
I saw them in 2019 too. Ann is still great, but she has lost a couple of notes at the high end. She kind of does more speak-singing of some of those meteoric notes from their 1970s catalog. I think it's time for them to adjust the keys downward a step or two in concert, but I've read that Ann is adamant about performing every Heart song in its original recorded key.
That scream was and is perfect. Thats true raw emotion.
She is RAW, that’s why it is so COOL! She doesn’t need to be perfect. She tapped into that spot in her voice that’s money
😀👍
The Primal scream in the middle of the song in my opinion plays to the desperation in the lyric. I'll bet the imperfection of the run is something she considered and decided to leave in instead of redoing...
I LOVE that really wild lick she does in the middle of the song. So human, pure passion....
This man is giving really expensive advices and tips for free.. Such a generous soul...
Hi from Argentina Ken.
My pleasure, Guillermo!
I think the same...he is the best teacher far..but not because of this but because of this great tips that no one else seems to know or notice...
And I love the lots of history and knowledge he puts on because for me , it is the way to understand and vibe with the artist the most!
The pedal kinda voice harmony is so nice !!..
I had noticed it and it's something I enjoy to do ..sometimes I like to make this while singing to something I know..
Muse Matt Bellamy & the bassist Chris Wolstnholme do lots of this stuff too!
By the way, ken, could you do some video about Matt, and about...Karen Carpenter?
It would be great!
14:09 I LOVE that tortured scream. Totally suits the theme of the song: she's suffering in her secret love for this man.
So do I!
Ann Wilson is absolutely unmatched.
Funny. I have just started practicing this song yesterday.
It's a great song! Rock on!
Shes got serious pipes..
Serious!
She said in an interview she never does scaling as warmups, not even those 1-3-5-8-5-3-1 penta stretches. She just picks a CD to sing to before a gig.
And whatever she has been doing is working, age has been kind to her voice unlike some others!
Rock is my church. Ann Wilson is my Preacher. 🙌🙌🙌 Heart is my 2nd favorite band of all time. Ann is my 2nd favorite female vocalist of all time.
Rock on!
@@kentamplin 🙌🏽✌🏾🎶☮
I whole heartily agree with the comments regarding Ann Wilson’s prowess. I’ve been a fan of Heart since Dreamboat Annie but never had a chance to see them until a couple of years ago. I was blown away at the sheer power of her voice. But what blows me away about this video is Tamplins ability to navigate through the the entire range, both in pitch and dynamics, with ease. Bravo.
Glad you enjoyed it, Jon!
Ken is a magnificent singer in his own right. His ability to emulate those runs is extraordinary.
Thanks!
Ann Wilson’s voice has been with me since I was 10 years old. I’m 45 now and still in love with her voice and songs. Ann’s voice on those old Heart records just soothes my soul. There are many great voices out there but none like hers.Thank you for analyzing her voice and for sharing your knowledge.
Rock on! 😀
She's not one of the greatest female rock singers of all time.. She IS the greatest female rock singer of all time ! As usual.. Keep up the great work Ken.. Im a drummer, but really enjoy these isolated lead vocal tracks ! Thank You !
My pleasure, Brian.
Her voice is perfect.
Wow! Ken brings the kingdom of music to earth!
She really chills me to the bone
Thanks for the visit. Merry Christmas! 🎅⛄🎄🤶🏻
These human "imperfections" like the intro for the chorus are what makes a great singer. Many casting show competitors, all the Dimashs of the world may be impressive, technically nearly perfect singers. But personally, they don't move me at all.
In my opinion, singing is very closely related with acting. You have to really perform in that moment, be genuine, vulnerable, or whatever the scene or song might ask you to be. Warts and all 😉
Thanks for the thoughts, Ragism.
Ok Boomer.
(Just kidding.)
Yeah I am wondering why music sounds so stale now. It has gone through so much processing that even guys with perfect pitch like Charlie Puth uses autotune for effect. It kills those nice inflections. I dunno... Music sounds like intelligent noise now.
Totally, Ragism.
@@dodmusic9255 Yeah, that's the other side of it. Maybe I'm a boomer in taste, but I'm not a fan of heavy editing, too. The idea that singing is some kind of athletics where technique is there for its own sake is a little older than all the correction of vocals, I guess.
I forgot to mention that training is very important, of course, especially in the long run. And depending on the song, you should be able to sing with a good pitch, vibrato, "stomach support" and so on. But all these are only the necessary means to perform.
I always go for a few "perfect" takes or runs, and then put all that into the back of my mind for a crazy, balls to the wall take. And it's always one of those "flawed" ones that are keepers, IMO.
But what do I know? I am nowhere near a professional level 😉
Totally agree, thats why i have no interest at all at Dimash or many others but only Morissette and Floor Jansen really get me, since beside their technique they also are really great storytellers and bring in all the feelings and stuff that makes me really believe what they sing.
Its the same with instruments in power metal for example, where full speed shredding with no speed maybe fascinating for first listen, but in the end there mostly is not much emotion and the slower songs is always what make me like a band or not. I mean some play 100 notes in a few seconds on the guitar and David Gilmour only plays 3-4 notes in the same time but with his bending he in the end is the one i remember and also identify everytime he plays.
Ann is one of the greatest rock vocalists ever!
Rock on!
My god this lady has got pipes! She is an absolute vocal goddess!! I've loved Heart since my parents played the albums when I was a child!
Cool parents, Mantis Entropie!
The chances Ann takes when she goes really sonic is one of the reasons I like her singing so much, it gives me chills!
The scream is what makes the song, and the imperfection of the scream is what makes it great. The wildness of the scream conveys raw emotion.
The first time I heard it I nearly cried.
Rock on!
13:10 when she cuts loose and lets all that tortured suffering out in one breath. One sided love is a miserable hell nobody should ever have to live in.
True, KainzMusic!
Well, if we didn’t live in that miserable hell from time to time, we wouldn’t have this amazing song and this monumental voice to sing it.
When I was a little kid discovering all of my older brothers' music collections, I heard Barracuda. I was about 6 or 7. I was in love with Ann's voice instantly. Forever. ❤️
Indeed! Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
Ann and Nancy are special musical souls. So great.
Rock on!
That scream is sick! I don’t hear imperfections- it’s a scream!
Love it.
Great video Ken.
Thanks, Dan 👍
Ann thee female rock monster of the world ,mind blowing vocal from 70s till now passion And emotion like no other.Hall of Fame wonder why because she’s thee best watched from 70 s myself vocal soulful rock in the raw acoustic to superhuman genius and still in 2021 nothing has changed🎸🎸🎸🎸
Her scream is amazing!! Even better isolated! Aaahhhhhh….
Ann did the f#5 perfectly cuz she has a top notch technique but she is also a great artist and knew how to sing the note to match how much she wants to be alone w her lover. Shes a genius. If she didn’t sing it with that grit it would lose its authenticity
Thanks for weighing in, Alex L.A.!
The best female vocalist! Awesome!
Yes indeed!
Just saw her in Toronto and her voice hasn't changed! Goddess at 73
EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO HER I DISCOVER A NEW TOUCH OF MAGIC
I grew up listening to Heart. One of my favorite songs.
👍💜😀
🎸🎶👍💜
She's not one of the best. She's the best. Thanks for covering her.
onehit pick 👍
Ann forever. When she hits it, I cry. Love that you compare her to Axl and Celine (my other favorites)
My favorite song by Heart and I love Ann Wilson's voice. Just a great, powerful rock voice.
She's a legend, Drea East Coast!
When I sing, even the dog leaves the room but I really enjoyed this! I love Ann and the emotions I get from listening to her sing - like crying and laughing at the same time... Really weird how music can do that. Thanks and rock on!
Keep singing, Christian!
I have absolutely no reason for watching these vids (about my 5th) as I do online marketing. But, I just find them soooo interesting! And Ken's passion really comes through.
Glad you like them!
she's a rock singer...it's about rawness, power n passion...🤘 😎
Ann is amazing no matter how you dissect it.
👍😀
I'm not a singer, or even a musician, but I love watching these videos because Ken's insights and knowledge make my music-listening experience so much richer, giving me more nuances to listen for and think about. And, of course, Ken's passion for music is infectious. Thanks for posting this, man.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoy the content.
..yes, this is true...fresh insight!
Dang I'm impressed on how well you can emulate her voice !
ann is the best female singer ever there is heart and soul in everything she sings the way she sings gives me goose bumps really original
Thanks for clearing that up, Lukas!
One of the best female voices. This song is the best of Heart’s portfolio.
Rock on!
Totally enjoyed this video. I saw Ann live approx. 8 years ago for the first time. I was shocked and near tears that her voice has held up so well.
Cool!
That high borderline loss of control is what slays me on this song. Gimme some more of that!
😀
I’d never really listened to Ann Wilson or Heart before I came across your videos. Now I’m a massive fan. She’s an amazing singer. It’s also really interesting to hear the difference in how the vocals sound in and isolated from the mix.
Happy to hear that!
Ann Wilson possesses one of the best vibratos of any singer, IMO. I LOVE fast vibratos. Singer Jody Miller also has a fast vibrato that I've always loved.
jod6cindy 👍
How about just one of the greatest rock vocalists ever? Because she is.
Ann Wilson is the best female singer of all time ❤️✌🏻
She's great!
Damn, I love this song like never ever able to forget it !
Master, Ken. I agree with you in the technical aspect that she could have sounded better had she not sung so nasally, but that is one of the aspects that made her different from other female singers. She had her own unique way of singing. Her own sound. She 's my favorite female singer.
13:40, the fact that it’s just on the knife’s edge of control is precisely what makes it so great.
You feel it on a soul level, all the angst and longing. It’s an ache, a wound.
It cuts you like a knife and you too are left a little wounded.
Well said. Thanks for the visit!
I so appreciate these "isolated vocals" videos because they make me feel so much better about my lousy vocal skills. :)
I think anyone can manufacture a tune from bits and pieces, patch it on Reaper and sound decent. There are some pathetic YT con artists who do just that claiming "all vocals are theirs" and they refuse to demonstrate their real vocals live on camera.
I still think Ann has ( had ! ) a beautiful and unique voice but the truth is that the real magic comes from sound engineering. Thank you for this video, Mr Tamplin! ✌️😎🤘
Rock on, Blonde Rider!
As a vocalist, you get to know the mic the room and the compressor like they were a part of your body.
Best female vocalist ever in her genre. Saw Heart in Montreal, Canada years ago after my son gifted me with a surprise ticket. Best gift ever!!
Awesome! Rock on!
I don't regard Ann as one of the greatest female vocalists ever. She's one of the greatest vocalists ever. Period.
Hey Ken! I saw Heart in Chicago back in '78 or '79. They were one of the hottest bands at the time. Incredible show! Ann's vocals blew me away back then and still does today. Their encore that night was Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin. Not too many woman can cover Robert Plant's vocals, but Ann Wilson did and was amazing in doing so. The only other woman that can do Robert justice is Alyona! Gotta love it!!
Great band! Love their tributes to Zeppelin and The Who.
Seconded on Alyona. I listen to Alyona's version almost on a daily basis.
@@kentamplin Absolutely. They are awesome!😎
@@MihiraTheAce Alyona had two cover bands in Russia. The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. The bands were really good.
...Maybe Amy Lee?..yes, I am an Amy Lee fan.. :)
Remember people, this was recorded on tape without auto-tune. No fixing anything in pro-tools. Each individual chorus needs to be sung. No copy and pasting.
Awesome singing.
😊
What is so amazing is that she is so great without ever having a single vocal lesson.
I actually loved the explanation on how to harmonize up really high. Tks, Ken.
LOVE LOVE LOVE her squeak on "Chills me to the bone" You just can't easily recreate those amazing raw feelings!!! My hair instantly stands up everytime :)
I ALWAYS get chills (good chills) when I hear Ann belt out THAT run. The amazing thing is that she can recreate it live.
Couldn't agree more!
There aren't many people who can sing like Ann Wilson. She doesn't need any effects on her voice.
😊
Agree with you for rock music balad vocals, Ann is the best ever. Love love Dog and Butterfly
Wow once again Ken i learned a bunch from this.. Ann and Nancy are the absolute best..I smile at the fact i was correct on her vibrato, that there are two distinct upper and lower. Rock on my friends.
I love doing this too. The beauty is in, and we are moved by, the imperfection.
VIDEOHEREBOB 👍
Oh teacher what a nice example. Love how her voice expands ! Also, it is like she fulfills her feelings pretty well . Thank you very much .
Glad you liked it!
Ann Wilson ❤
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy - Ken, you are a real subject expert. And your subject is a big one - pop music. Singing, engineering, etc. And now I come to learn you learned the live version of Song Remains the Same by running back and forth from the cinema to your guitar! (Subject experts are always worth listening to in ANY field.)
Rock on, man.
P.S. And you've kept your pipes. To bad one Bob Plant didn't have you as vocal coach and he'd be consensus male vocalist - contest over, LOL.
Ken, these isolated tracks are so inspiring.
They strip away the fog and get to the core of it.
The difference between a good singer and a great one is subtle to the uninitiated, but that extra %.01 is a thousand miles wide
Thanks for continuing to provide value.
Rob Sch 👍
I'm not a vocalist, i have great appreciation for the craft. I have to say , Ken, A lot your advice and insight I find useful and transferrable to guitar. Absolute goldmine of a channel you have here.
Awesome! Happy to hear that!
Ann and Stevie are the best!
👍👍👍
Singers back in the 70's and 80's and even in the 90's used reverb to get fullness and depth , especially on slower more melodic songs with long phrasing. In one sense , this was a way of covering up a singers weaknesses or exaggerating a singers voice strengths. While Ann without Reverb is still amazing , the reverb does nothing but make an already amazing singer , more amazing. In retrospect , with the introduction of Autotune , it destroyed the industry , Autotune does not do anything but correct a singers voice to the right pitch and note which in essence , replaces the singer. This is why iconic singers today do not have the same holding strength on the industry like the ones 30 years ago or further. They essentially do not have to work as hard to have a great voice , the great voice is provided for them now. Its more about showmanship , than the ability to sing.
😊
Amen! We had to work hard to get a good sound. My vocal coach used to have a saying, "The tape don't lie." Seems it does lie now.
OMG! She is HUMAN! Damn this was a Great breakdown. I never realize that reverb can give body to a voice.
Glad it was helpful, D Hasty!
Great breakdown Ken. I'll never hear that song the same way again, as I now have a greater appreciation for what's going on vocally
Glad you enjoyed it!
In 1987 I worked in a radio broadcasting edit bay. My boss used to get pre released cd singles. This was the beginning of the digital era. If you can imagine popping in the Alone cd and hearing it before it was on the radio, you can understand how excited I was.
I knew the brilliant and clean Toto like sound was guaranteed to be a major hit.
I hope people understand what it took to produce this work if art, but I’m also impressed at how easily you casually mimicked her intonations.
Well done by both of you.
Thanks so much Papparratzi!
This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Whenever this comes on, I just have to belt along. There is SO much emotion here.
It's beautiful!
Always felt this is one of the greatest vocal performances I've heard.
😀👍
When she hits those high notes, it almost brings a tear to my eye. She can really belt it out.
She sure can!
..the only other women vocalists that can "belt it out" like that I can think of are Pat Benatar and Amy Lee...
Really enjoyed this. I saw them like 2 years ago and she still has it.
Great band!
Thank you for the harmony indepth explannation very much appreciated!
What a singer. Loved a lot of hearts records. Even the commercial ones with the big hair. Ann and Nancy both created stunning harmonies. Great job Ken but that goes without saying. I love how Ann works the ‘out of control bit’. It’s very emotional. Almost like a scream of pain.
Thanks for weighing in, theonlyredspecial!
Yes, that 'out of control,' emotional outburst makes the song. There is the artist here, vocally expressing the pain of unrequited love.
I love the wail. So genuine, so human.
💜
Love Ann Wilson! She’s one of my inspirations! I feel like she’s underrated ever since the 80’s started, I felt like some people forgot how how much of a badass she is. Truly sad what happened to the band & especially to her during in that time. Im glad you made this vid of Ann!
A great inspiration to have, Jupiter Glass!
Ken I hear what you're saying.... but this song is perfect. I have sang this song drunk so many times with my friends & family lol and nobody ever complains about Ann's vocals. We all want to sound exactly like her and none of us can do it !!
Anne Wilson is one of the best female rock vocalists of all time love her voice loved heart they had a a lot of great songs I enjoyed Anne Wilson is my mom's favorite female rock singer alone and what about love are two of my favorites she does yes you can hear apt of reverb in her voice but yes she is awesome Ken
She is!
Definitely Ken she rocks
Man we have really been blessed with so many incredible female singers. Also can we get Ken to react to old Ken Tamplin songs? That would be so awesome
Haha Maybe one of these days, Never Enough Cowbell!
So fan of Ann... I'm almost 50 and I still putting this song in my car, in my home, in the shower...just 'cause I feel I want to sing my fav song ever! @Angelo3D 100% with you!!! Ann is the voice I wished I had...😉
This guy is awesome, love his energy. Makes me realize how important it can be to have a good teacher. I'm just a closet singer who loves to belt out anything Ann Wilson sings. Love her so much, her voice is miraculous.
😊👍
Ken Tamplin is the only vocal coach i trust!
Thank you, m m!
The scream has more emotion in it, like someone who is heart broken. So it feels more real to me, I feel it not being perfect makes it perfect
Rock on!
Wow bro you sir are amazing! As is Anne as well of course.
I absolutely love the 80s, it's ny favorite music period. But I was never into rock music, I was mostly only listening to pop. Simple Minds, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode (absolutely love Dave Gahans deep voice), Madonna, Whitney Houston, Kylie Minogue. But then there's Heart and the song Alone. And I absolutely love it. I had no idea who the singer was, until I heard it here from you, Anne Wilson. I absolute LOVE her voice. It is super!!! So glad you did this!!!💕
Ann is amazing, for sure!
