One of the things I really like about your videos Ken is that you're able to do it all in one take. You see all these other "creatives" relying on the jump cut, and it drives me crazy. Your dedication to the single cut shows just how much expertise you bring to the subject of singing, and I'm a fan of what you do! Keep rocking always \m/
Thanks, M-Ben! Not only is it a one take, but there is zero autotune. It troubles me that some vocal coaches say that autotune is the accepted norm and so therefore it's OK for vocal coaches to use artificial means to sing on-pitch! Really???
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy pitch correction is the norm. Auto tune is the most popular form of pitch correction. If you take the top 20 songs on billboard almost all of them have some pitch correction or autotune. It makes a good singer great. You can make autotune not sound like the sound we associate with auto tune such as the cher effect or the tpain sound.
Was it the norm for Freddie Mercury? Or Dio? Or Ann Wilson? Just because something is popular or the current "industry standard" does not mean it should be used. And it certainly does not help make better music. Auto tune makes people lazy, and the music suffers because of it.
M-Ben Fowler were talking about current day. Idc about Freddie Mercury. His time has come and passed. Great vocalist but music changes I doubt he'd be famous in this era making primarily rock music. Rock's not the musical juggernaut it once was. Because the people today have different taste. It doesn't mean it's better or worse it's strictly opinion not fact. I grew up listening to rock, pop and rnb from the 80s. Most of time i prefer current music today then 80s music with the exception of MJ. And that's my opinion it's not fact. I enjoy listening to today music over the past. It's your opinion that's auto tune is lazy and makes the music suffer is simply not fact. Your sounding like an old person complaining about music was better back in the day than the music people listen too today.
me too but my range is not that high and low im like mono tone, and it makes me sad, im pilipino btw. im so sad right now, i want to serenade my gf this coming valentines but my voice is not cooperating haha
4:42 WOW, it’s amazing to hear how easily he ascended into his head voice/falsetto! And it sounds so full! He’s got an amazing voice, it’s great! He really knows what he’s talking about.
I'm not a singer... but I teach guitar and music; I'm also a Music Producer and my humble opinion is that this lesson is one of the best lesson ever! bravo!
I am a retired guitarist/musician who sang background vocals in cover bands for decades. I had some sinus surgery done in 2017 and it changed the resonance in my instrument. As a result of that I haven't really sang since then because nothing worked like it used to. I was never a great singer but was what I considered adequate. Ken, you are very inspiring. Enough so to make me want to learn to sing better. I write and record my own original material these days just for fun and I occasionally produce projects for others. I believe that knowing how to sing correctly would greatly improve my ability to communicate vocal nuances to other singers when working on productions.
anyone reading this...listen to this man.... his advice on singing is the best... I couldn't carry a tune to save my life... now my daughters say "not bad dad"... thanks to this good teacher... take the advice and really listen.... B-)
Please let me know what singing topics you would like to see covered in future voice tutorials. I hope you find this one helpful! Please LIKE, SHARE, and COMMENT! :-)
I won't to learn how to be more then a basic singer cause every time I sing people say I'm good but I'm just a regular singer like do u have a video on that
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy i want to see your opinion about extreme metal genre such like death metal,etc. and i still waiting for corey taylor cover. and please check awesome singer from opeth Mikael akerfeldt
I recommend that everybody come back and watch this video at least once a month if you don't have a vocal teacher or Tamplin's singing course. This is probably his single most important video beyond the basics with breath support and all that. It's just such a nice concept that will almost immediately improve your singing if you ever feel you've hit a wall in your singing path. I've been working on a cover for Come What May from Moulin Rouge and I could not hit the highest note of the song for whatever reason. I sang the song with just vowels and I immediately figured out why I was splatting; my vowel modification was terrible. Such a good video, love love love.
Thanks for the kind words, undeadman7676! You're right, this video contains PURE GOLD for those wise enough to recognize it when they see and hear it. This information, as well as an infinity more, is part of my singing course. This technique alone can unlock a lot of songs and help you to determine why you can't sing it in practical applications, yet you are capable of hitting the notes in scales and exercises. It's the consonants that mess you up, and the fact that you are trying to sing words instead of vowels. We sing on vowels. Consonants interrupt vowels. We break the song down into pure singing, and it gets much easier to see, hear, and feel what we are doing that is holding us back. I give information like this for free in hundreds of videos. If you get the course, all of this and much more is given with exercises and instructions, plus the moderators on my forums help my students to get to the next level by giving feedback on your progress if you are enrolled in my course.
As someone who’s been told all their life that they can’t sing, I finally decided to say fck it and try to get better instead of not singing at all. Your videos and exercises are my first step!
This is a magnificent lesson that so few contemporary singers know of. This explains and affirms so much in my personal vocal journey. Thanks a million Ken.
Miss Defiance hahahaha me too. It came up on my RUclips feed and I thought I'd watch to see if I could learn something new, well I'm blown away! 🤗 Gotta show my kids this when they're bigger.
I agree. Not even sure how I got here, but the topic is fascinating, he's easy to understand, and he sounds wonderful...even found myself participating near the end (thankfully I'm here alone)
My husband says I can’t sing, but my cat says I can 😂 . I hate my voice , always did. But I am working on learning how to sing a song for my husband’s 60s birthday in 2020 . I cross my fingers that I can make it. Thank you for sharing your experience and tips.
NCC1701A, if you will dare to *BELIEVE* that you can make it...you WILL make it! I believe in you. Just keep listening to Ken’s advice..he’s got you covered. ⭐️🌟✨Knock your husband’s socks off for his 60th!✨🌟⭐️
I am a second soprano in my church choir for 14 years this is how we practice before class for warms ups depending on what we are singing. I sure do miss choir since Covid. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you Ken I think you are the best 👍
Literally Have went from not knowing i had the voice I do to making music. Have 12 songs released and never quitting! You've helped me tremendously and I can't thank you enough. I hope your voice and lessons touch anyones ears that want to sing. We ALL have a voice!
Stumbled across this by accident and never heard of this guy. But he impressed me, nonetheless, within the first five seconds because he wastes no time teaching what you need to know. Trying to think of everyone who I know who enjoys singing, so I can share. Too bad that singing is nothing that interests me, personally, because if it did, then this guy would be my mentor.
Thanks for your kind comments, George, and I really appreciate it if you will send some links to some of your friends that might want to learn more about singing. That's very generous of you to take the time to do that!
This is the best instructions I’ve heard! I did chorus for yrs...we were taught a similar method. Yes over emphasize the words with very similar vowel sounds. And we went through the song w vowels only first before we ever put words in it! After not singing for the last 15 yrs___I think I will start watching this channel to get back into it!! Thanks YT for suggesting this!
Holy crap. I went down the RUclips rabbit hole and came out on this video. Ken sir; your talent, depth of knowledge, and teaching ability are all mind blowing. I not even a singer but I still subscribed, lol.
Adrian James I usually avoid the word, "Ditto" because it's been politicized, but I'll make an exception here, including the part at the end where you mention that you still subscribed! Me, too.
Jennifer Harwood I think personally, you save more money (because time=$$) by having some help on that at least on occasion. Make much faster progress, even in an instrument you're fairly skilled at already. I make a lot of progress in person WAY more so than anything online or on Skype type lessons because of the latency (delay). I've had lessons in voice, drums, guitar, piano and bass :)
I actually think ken tamplin is the best vocal coach in the world because if you lisen to dimash sing when ken demonstrates he gets all the notes that dimash does so lisen to this man he’s just unbelievable not just as a coach but this man can also sing any note fantastic advice ken god bless you
I been watching your videos and they inspire me to sing better. Now, I think my voice sounds alot better on the amazing songs I have recorded on my channel. Thanks Ken Tamplin!
Oh man this was absolutely brilliant. As you go up and up, vowels, if you naturally let them, start to fade away, until you get to whistle voice and there’s no distinguishable vowel sound at all! So the amazing thing is that the vowel sounds are only in the mind of the listener, not in the voice of the singer! Amazing video Ken, totally blew my mind.
I'm getting old, I couldn't even remember all the vowels when I clicked on this. But they came back to memory and I understood everything you were saying! Man you're a great teacher! I enjoy your videos, I've learned a lot from you. Now it's a matter of practicing everything I learn. I'll probably never do anything but sing along with my music, but maybe people will stop telling me to shut up and let them listen to the song
Like most singers, i’m starving. So no money for A-class singing course. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for free 🙏🏻 A first class act sir. You definitely are.
Every day , since Jan 20 I do a lot of vocal exercises and my voice has changed a lil bit , I see the results , and thanks to your videos I learn a lot !! Thank you .
Just discovered you, fantastic! Your voice is beautiful! I am a mediocre singer, but I love to sing, so I want to improve enough that the people around me ( yes, I break into song anytime, anywhere) don’t cringe at my voice, because I can’t imagine life without singing. Thank you!
Sunday morning loafing resulted in finding video. As an English teacher for 15 years, college/University, you are a great teacher. You laid out some of principles of an advanced grammar class.
I’ve recently returned to singing after many many years. So having stumbled across your fabulous vocal academy videos I finally feel able to pursue my passion for singing properly and with confidence. By the way I’m a 57 year old ex choirboy, so I’m having to relearn so much about head and chest voice and breathing etc etc etc…. I’m done looking now as you are now my official tutor. Thank you x
You are one of the best teachers on RUclips. I never knew that singing techniques were this important than simply doing some random vocal exercises. Thank u soo much 🥰🥰
Hey Ken - I joined after 10 minutes of viewing this vid - hadnt heard of you previously but you make perfect sense and you dont mince words - totally on point from the gate. Im 64 yrs old, a blues player and want to add more range to my bass voice and hopefully learn to sing with some vibrato. I have one video uploaded in 2007 - an improvised song from a bet.
Wow, game changer! Those 5 vowel sounds are also used in the Maori language (New Zealand's Indigenous culture). Might be why they are such good singers too!
Never have I heard of such succinct and clear solution to leading to sing. I can sing nonsense because I kinda do what you do but never knew how to lead my focus. I can sing opera notes to rock highs but not all the words like I should. Where have you been ? I will follow U 2 the sounds of music… God bless U mentor …
Watching this video at 6.00am and cant wait to show my 19 year old Grandson. He desperately wants to go back to singing he's been in many choirs and done pantos. You are awesome Ken, thankyou for sharing.
Im not even kidding "only sing the vowels" has just changed me from a sucky singer to decent...just that one piece of advice has made a huge difference
And that's just one piece of information. Think what it would be like to have an entire course of information like this. Thanks for reporting your results, Steve!
I am so impressed on how you teach vocal technics bro. not mentioning you singing skills and voice quality. I also teach voice lesson here in the Philippines and i amm learning a lot from you. Thank you very much! God bless you!
WOW! I am simply blown away! So excited to check out your other videos! I am a actress in NYC. I have been looking for the perfect coach for voice lessons. You are AWESOME! Thank you so much for sharing your gift!
Auditioning for the voice for the second time, and I have great confidence this time. Your lessons help alot, and if I had the money I would buy your stuff for sure.
@Tristan Clemons @Dai Shere you both are much braver than I am :) Good luck out there. Get those chairs to turn! Remember to create a moment. Light up the room!
Thanks for this free lecture. You explained succinctly to the point. When I was a teenager our music teacher did not teach us like this. She will ask us to sing DOH RAY ME....... She will walk around and tap us on the shoulder. After she would say all those that I have tapped go back to class. Meaning our voices were not up to scratch. This was how she chooses the school choir.
I also grew up with Bel Canto training and converting it to contemporary singing was something that you touched on in this video which resonated with me. Loving this.
This explanation and lesson was really consistent and logical to follow! I have tried to explain about these kind of things to a guitarist I know but I struggled since I'm not classically trained enough and I don't know exact terms to explain things. But now I can show him this. Thanks!
I purchased the KTVA Course+Pro-Packs about 6 months ago. I am very pleased with this purchase. I recommend if you are on the decision-fence, do it. I know the price seems high, but you are getting a LOT in this course. The course is packed with very detailed and informative videos and audio. I have 55 years of life experience, and I believe Ken does an incredible job of explaining the information. I'm a Rock guitar player and have always wanted to sing. There are about 5 videos just for diaphragmatic breathing, this is difficult to understand at first, Ken explains/demonstrates this several ways to get this understood. Throughout the course he also consistently "repeats/reminds" on very important aspects. Here are my words of advice for this, if you get this course ......... "Listen" to EVERY word he says, and DO everything he says.
All of your vocal tutorials are really helpful, sir! I'm beginning to get back to the swing of things again after our band broke up 2 years ago, I was depressed and stopped singing for awhile. I wish I found your channel earlier, sir. Time to push this dreams forward. Thank You Sir Ken! Sending love from Philippines! :D
I've been singing my entire life, but I've never had any formal training...listening to you sing and the control that you have over your voice amazes me. Great lesson!
Joseph, thank you for taking the time out of your day to write such a nice comment and to let me know that you got something worthwhile out of this lesson! That means a lot to me!
Ok so I have a RUclips subscription, and I had the screen turned off but when he hit that High note I came on to like the video.. my mouth dropped! What an incredible teacher.. he clearly loves what he does! #Yaaassss But on a serious note.. I want to be able to hit high notes like he does.. I love his singing and speaking voice. The acoustics in the room are perfect and everything sounds powerful.
I have watched various vocal teachers on youtube and I have to say, I think you're maybe the most englightening of the lot. Thanks for this content. Super useful!
Not even finished watching and I am compelled to comment. I'm not a singer, other than when alone. This man just explained a tremendous amount in a short amount of time. The detail he provides,, the vocal examples, everything was clear. Thank you!
Wish you were around when I sang in bands Ken. Your tutorials would have made a huge improvement to my vocal ability. I had a throat infection from singing in smoke filled rooms and never really got back the high register that I had before. I am sure that your tutorials would have helped me at that time.
Hello sir, I really do learn a lot from this video. I also realized that I tend to force my voice singing the vowels and it strains my vocal chords. I applied the technique and I see changes with it. It lessens the strain and I can sing higher notes now with lesser problems. Thanks a lot! You're a genius. By the way I'm from the Philippines.
So wonderful you offer these videos! There are many singers out here, myself included, who can always learn something helpful from your videos. Thank you so much!! USA
My dad and I were finishing my 5th-grade music homework. He asked me to sing something and I did not know how to. We ended up watching this. It was helpful. Thank you!
You Helped me so Much in the last year Ken that I am trying to raise the money to work with you soon! Im so excited and cant wait!! Thank You for all your help and lessons!!
You're so fortunate to have maintained falsetto. And rich it is too. I sang mine in the steel workshops of my mid 30's. The a job change prevented singing at work. Now at 61 I'm left with a chest choking off key hissing hack. A truly awful loss combined with significantly reduced range. I never knew I would lose it.
sigh my vocals class teacher never tells us how to improve technique, she just tells us to sing with more emotion and gives tips not to be nervous SMH you’re a god tho
Back in the day, when I was playing Shout cassette tapes in my car, if someone would’ve said, “Dude, I’ve visited the future and Ken Tamplin is one of the world’s best vocal coaches 30 years from now! Can you believe that?!”; I’d have said, “Yep. I totally believe it. Doesn’t surprise me at all.” I’ve always known you to be as talented a vocalist as you are a guitarist; but it’s more than that. You, sir, are brilliant. I get a lot of joy watching these videos, even though I personally cannot sing well and don’t know where to even begin to start trying, let alone have any understanding of the techniques I’ve seen you explain. But these vocal coaching videos are still inspiring and entertaining. They are a joy and a blessing. Thank you for putting the time in to share and teach your gift to others.
I was just scrolling down on my youtube and I found this. I checked it out and I just knew I had to subscribe. I really love singing and this sure helped a lot. I want to widen my range this summer so I'm glad I found your channel :) Keep up the good work and thanks for the lessons.
This... is incredible. You are a talented vocalist and a talented, passionate teacher. I'm a computer engineer who always wanted to learn how to sing and has been kind of trying to learn on the side, and I really appreciate these videos.
I love singing even though singing doesn't love me as much as I do lol! Well, I will just focus on my daughter. When she grow older I will let her watch your video Sir.
It's not about what he can do. That's his voice, not yours. Find what your voice can do, and make the very most of that. If you try emulating someone who has a ton of training and talent you are going to get frustrated, or pick up very bad habits. Concentrate on your voice, not his. Oh, and never be afraid to make a horrifically bad sound. You have to make those sounds to learn how to make nice ones.
One of the things I really like about your videos Ken is that you're able to do it all in one take. You see all these other "creatives" relying on the jump cut, and it drives me crazy. Your dedication to the single cut shows just how much expertise you bring to the subject of singing, and I'm a fan of what you do! Keep rocking always \m/
Thanks, M-Ben! Not only is it a one take, but there is zero autotune. It troubles me that some vocal coaches say that autotune is the accepted norm and so therefore it's OK for vocal coaches to use artificial means to sing on-pitch! Really???
YESSS, auto-tune is even more infuriating >_< The world needs more singers (and TEACHERS) like you Ken!!

reezlaw I came here from a Jimi Hendrix cover lol
Jennifer Harwood I think personally, you save more money (because time=$$) by having some help on that at least on occasion. Make much faster progress, even in an instrument you're fairly skilled at already. I make a lot of progress in person WAY more so than anything online or on Skype type lessons because of the latency (delay). I've had lessons in voice, drums, guitar, piano and bass :)
I actually think ken tamplin is the best vocal coach in the world because if you lisen to dimash sing when ken demonstrates he gets all the notes that dimash does so lisen to this man he’s just unbelievable not just as a coach but this man can also sing any note fantastic advice ken god bless you
Thank you, peterfrancis!
I been watching your videos and they inspire me to sing better. Now, I think my voice sounds alot better on the amazing songs I have recorded on my channel. Thanks Ken Tamplin!
Oh man this was absolutely brilliant. As you go up and up, vowels, if you naturally let them, start to fade away, until you get to whistle voice and there’s no distinguishable vowel sound at all! So the amazing thing is that the vowel sounds are only in the mind of the listener, not in the voice of the singer! Amazing video Ken, totally blew my mind.
i haven't even watch the video and i *love* this guy!! he reads all his comments, what a *respectable* man!
well, i watched the vid
i *love* him even more
RadAloui- Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed them. :)
RadAloui ikr
RadAloui those are my thoughts exactly!
I'm getting old, I couldn't even remember all the vowels when I clicked on this. But they came back to memory and I understood everything you were saying! Man you're a great teacher! I enjoy your videos, I've learned a lot from you. Now it's a matter of practicing everything I learn. I'll probably never do anything but sing along with my music, but maybe people will stop telling me to shut up and let them listen to the song
Rock on!
Who else is watching in bed and actually practicing
Stephanie Zaahl 👍
How did you know?😅
Practicing to my chemistry test
Car🤣
Mee
Like most singers, i’m starving.
So no money for A-class singing course.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for free 🙏🏻
A first class act sir.
You definitely are.
Jean-Sébastien Richer I hear man. Help yourself, there are more than 600 videos out there.
Oh I definitely will, master Tamplin ❤️
Every day , since Jan 20 I do a lot of vocal exercises and my voice has changed a lil bit , I see the results , and thanks to your videos I learn a lot !! Thank you .
😊👍
How is it now?
Just discovered you, fantastic! Your voice is beautiful! I am a mediocre singer, but I love to sing, so I want to improve enough that the people around me ( yes, I break into song anytime, anywhere) don’t cringe at my voice, because I can’t imagine life without singing. Thank you!
Wow that will be so great Well Good morning 🌞
why am i watching this? i have a test tomorrow and it sure as hell isnt singing vowels.....still though very informative
Good luck with your test!
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy :D thank you very much
Jessica Cruz LOL. Welcome to my life! :)
No one asked what's going. On in your life..
Same same. I came here from organic chemistry videos.
One of Ken's catch phrases is "where the proof is in the singing". And I'm always impressed by his singing! His voice is amazing!
😊
Sunday morning loafing resulted in finding video. As an English teacher for 15 years, college/University, you are a great teacher. You laid out some of principles of an advanced grammar class.
I’ve recently returned to singing after many many years. So having stumbled across your fabulous vocal academy videos I finally feel able to pursue my passion for singing properly and with confidence. By the way I’m a 57 year old ex choirboy, so I’m having to relearn so much about head and chest voice and breathing etc etc etc….
I’m done looking now as you are now my official tutor. Thank you x
Wonderful!
You are one of the best teachers on RUclips. I never knew that singing techniques were this important than simply doing some random vocal exercises. Thank u soo much 🥰🥰
Hey Ken - I joined after 10 minutes of viewing this vid - hadnt heard of you previously but you make perfect sense and you dont mince words - totally on point from the gate. Im 64 yrs old, a blues player and want to add more range to my bass voice and hopefully learn to sing with some vibrato. I have one video uploaded in 2007 - an improvised song from a bet.
Wow, game changer! Those 5 vowel sounds are also used in the Maori language (New Zealand's Indigenous culture). Might be why they are such good singers too!
Carl Wells Could be!
Never have I heard of such succinct and clear solution to leading to sing. I can sing nonsense because I kinda do what you do but never knew how to lead my focus. I can sing opera notes to rock highs but not all the words like I should. Where have you been ? I will follow U 2 the sounds of music… God bless U mentor …
Watching this video at 6.00am and cant wait to show my 19 year old Grandson. He desperately wants to go back to singing he's been in many choirs and done pantos. You are awesome Ken, thankyou for sharing.
That is awesome!
Im not even kidding "only sing the vowels" has just changed me from a sucky singer to decent...just that one piece of advice has made a huge difference
And that's just one piece of information. Think what it would be like to have an entire course of information like this. Thanks for reporting your results, Steve!
I also so badly have always wanted to play guitar and I'm 36 next month and I'm setting that goal....I'm finally gonna do it!!
I am so impressed on how you teach vocal technics bro. not mentioning you singing skills and voice quality.
I also teach voice lesson here in the Philippines and i amm learning a lot from you.
Thank you very much!
God bless you!
Thanks a ton!
I've never really practiced singing before but I've already learned so much from one video and I can't thank you enough!
WOW! I am simply blown away! So excited to check out your other videos! I am a actress in NYC. I have been looking for the perfect coach for voice lessons. You are AWESOME! Thank you so much for sharing your gift!
Thanks, Angela!
Auditioning for the voice for the second time, and I have great confidence this time. Your lessons help alot, and if I had the money I would buy your stuff for sure.
Tristan Clemons I'm auditioning for the voice too!!
Tristan Clemons good luck y'all!!!
@Tristan Clemons @Dai Shere you both are much braver than I am :) Good luck out there. Get those chairs to turn! Remember to create a moment. Light up the room!
I auditioned twice and i wish i had found his videos before i did because they are so helpful
Tristan did you get picked?
Thanks for this free lecture. You explained succinctly to the point.
When I was a teenager our music teacher did not teach us like this. She will ask us to sing DOH RAY ME.......
She will walk around and tap us on the shoulder.
After she would say all those that I have tapped go back to class. Meaning our voices were not up to scratch. This was how she chooses the school choir.
I also grew up with Bel Canto training and converting it to contemporary singing was something that you touched on in this video which resonated with me. Loving this.
Sir you have a beautiful voice
Thanks, Antwan!
Adam Joyner 💀
And able to use it properly
@@kentamplin You really do. Wish I had this tip years ago. Thanks. Will use this from now on.
I was spent my life for 3 years in the bad exercises and finally I practice this channel since 2 mounts ago.
Glad you came to my channel!!
Wow i was not expecting such a beautiful voice to cleanse my ears when that guy started singing, i could listen to him sing acapello all day ❤
This explanation and lesson was really consistent and logical to follow!
I have tried to explain about these kind of things to a guitarist I know but I struggled since I'm not classically trained enough and I don't know exact terms to explain things. But now I can show him this. Thanks!
I play piano, sing and lead worship for our church and your teaching is brilliant! TY for the great lesson!
I have been singing all my life. Just for my own enjoyment.never had any idea, on how to train my voice, this is great.Thank, you!
You should check out my course: kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
I purchased the KTVA Course+Pro-Packs about 6 months ago. I am very pleased with this purchase. I recommend if you are on the decision-fence, do it. I know the price seems high, but you are getting a LOT in this course. The course is packed with very detailed and informative videos and audio. I have 55 years of life experience, and I believe Ken does an incredible job of explaining the information. I'm a Rock guitar player and have always wanted to sing. There are about 5 videos just for diaphragmatic breathing, this is difficult to understand at first, Ken explains/demonstrates this several ways to get this understood. Throughout the course he also consistently "repeats/reminds" on very important aspects.
Here are my words of advice for this, if you get this course ......... "Listen" to EVERY word he says, and DO everything he says.
Excellent, Richard! I am really proud of your accomplishment! Rock on!
寶石不僅是一個歌手，而且是一個使用聲音的藝術家！她的歌唱能力是很少有人能擁有的！她會唱各種不同風格的音樂！她的聲樂範圍很廣！我最喜歡她唱歌。藍調和搖滾尖叫！當然，有甜美的少女的聲音，如糖果
All of your vocal tutorials are really helpful, sir! I'm beginning to get back to the swing of things again after our band broke up 2 years ago, I was depressed and stopped singing for awhile. I wish I found your channel earlier, sir. Time to push this dreams forward. Thank You Sir Ken! Sending love from Philippines! :D
trying to learn hownto sing during quarantine
#staysafe💓
😀👍
Hell yeah
I've been watching ken's videos and my vocal range is improving thanks to this man
I've been singing my entire life, but I've never had any formal training...listening to you sing and the control that you have over your voice amazes me. Great lesson!
Joseph, thank you for taking the time out of your day to write such a nice comment and to let me know that you got something worthwhile out of this lesson! That means a lot to me!
Ok so I have a RUclips subscription, and I had the screen turned off but when he hit that High note I came on to like the video.. my mouth dropped! What an incredible teacher.. he clearly loves what he does! #Yaaassss
But on a serious note.. I want to be able to hit high notes like he does..
I love his singing and speaking voice. The acoustics in the room are perfect and everything sounds powerful.
I have watched various vocal teachers on youtube and I have to say, I think you're maybe the most englightening of the lot. Thanks for this content. Super useful!
I tried for 3 seconds and it made me cough 🤣 Singing is not my mission hahaha 😝
I am a Singer Songwriter and trying to improve vocaly and thank you for these videos
As a Pianist myself I love Bel Canto. I sang in the University Choir, but I struggled with staying with my tenor line.
Your teaching technique is outstanding! You sing beautiful - perfect tone. Thank you for sharing!
So nice of you well Good morning 🌞 I hope all's well with you?
Not even finished watching and I am compelled to comment. I'm not a singer, other than when alone. This man just explained a tremendous amount in a short amount of time. The detail he provides,, the vocal examples, everything was clear. Thank you!
Wish you were around when I sang in bands Ken. Your tutorials would have made a huge improvement to my vocal ability. I had a throat infection from singing in smoke filled rooms and never really got back the high register that I had before. I am sure that your tutorials would have helped me at that time.
Mind blown... so this is how it is done with those high notes!
I'm glad this was helpful to you, carlitos05!
Hello sir, I really do learn a lot from this video. I also realized that I tend to force my voice singing the vowels and it strains my vocal chords. I applied the technique and I see changes with it. It lessens the strain and I can sing higher notes now with lesser problems. Thanks a lot! You're a genius.
By the way I'm from the Philippines.
So wonderful you offer these videos! There are many singers out here, myself included, who can always learn something helpful from your videos. Thank you so much!! USA
Wonderful!
My dad and I were finishing my 5th-grade music homework. He asked me to sing something and I did not know how to. We ended up watching this. It was helpful. Thank you!
Great job!
You Helped me so Much in the last year Ken that I am trying to raise the money to work with you soon! Im so excited and cant wait!! Thank You for all your help and lessons!!
That is so great to hear, Ryan! I'll be here when you're ready for the course! kentamplinvocalacademy.com/ Happy New Year! 🎉
Playing this for my parrot. She is fascinated. Hoping she will do scales instead of “Bird is the Word.” She’s tone deaf, it’s awful!
Katie Starnes Hahahaha!
Lets appreciate this legend for replying to comments even after 4 years!
👍😀
He so appreciable,,,Hugs from Kenya
Yey
You're so fortunate to have maintained falsetto. And rich it is too.
I sang mine in the steel workshops of my mid 30's. The a job change prevented singing at work. Now at 61 I'm left with a chest choking off key hissing hack. A truly awful loss combined with significantly reduced range.
I never knew I would lose it.
sigh my vocals class teacher never tells us how to improve technique, she just tells us to sing with more emotion and gives tips not to be nervous SMH you’re a god tho
Cauliii, you can always get good informatino about improving your vocals on my channel. Thanks for the kind words.
Leave her! You only get one chance to chase your dreams
You need a new singing teacher
Cuz she doesn't know how to sing thats why...
Practice... Practice.... Practice
Back in the day, when I was playing Shout cassette tapes in my car, if someone would’ve said, “Dude, I’ve visited the future and Ken Tamplin is one of the world’s best vocal coaches 30 years from now! Can you believe that?!”; I’d have said, “Yep. I totally believe it. Doesn’t surprise me at all.”
I’ve always known you to be as talented a vocalist as you are a guitarist; but it’s more than that. You, sir, are brilliant.
I get a lot of joy watching these videos, even though I personally cannot sing well and don’t know where to even begin to start trying, let alone have any understanding of the techniques I’ve seen you explain. But these vocal coaching videos are still inspiring and entertaining. They are a joy and a blessing. Thank you for putting the time in to share and teach your gift to others.
Thank you, Robert, for the very kind words. I appreciate them!
7:14 "I can never get there" - Guy who gets there.
S Sablich 👍👍👍
Ahahah I love how he does that and then says I could never do that
haha the best
In other words; singing is an incredibly difficult art… thank you for giving me a new appreciation for those that do it well…
if he helps me carry a tune.. then he is a true Miracle man in my book
Pretty Awesome🙏🏻
FORGET TO SAY:YOUR A GREAT TEACHER WITH GIFT OF ENCOURAGEMENT !!! GBU ☺
Thank You, Sally! GBU, too!
When my boy said “LOOOOAAAHHAHHHEEEEEEEEE” I felt that

You're an excellent teacher. Im amazed i had three hours a week in elementary school for six years and learned more from you in ten minutes 🤣
I was just scrolling down on my youtube and I found this. I checked it out and I just knew I had to subscribe. I really love singing and this sure helped a lot. I want to widen my range this summer so I'm glad I found your channel :) Keep up the good work and thanks for the lessons.
Kouta Toshiya- You are welcome! And THANKS for SUBSCRIBING! :-)

Thanks, Douglas! Pleased to meet you. Ken's the name. Thanks for the compliment!

Hi good one
CN
Thanks great one.
This... is incredible. You are a talented vocalist and a talented, passionate teacher. I'm a computer engineer who always wanted to learn how to sing and has been kind of trying to learn on the side, and I really appreciate these videos.
Awesome to hear from you, Elysian Shadows! I'm glad these videos are helping you! 😊
Internet is so small Falco
I love singing even though singing doesn't love me as much as I do lol! Well, I will just focus on my daughter. When she grow older I will let her watch your video Sir.
My grand daughter are learnings techinique from you.. And she's only 5 years old.. Thank you ken
Awesome!
I don’t know how I found him. I don’t know what made me click on this video. But I’m in love. You really helped me grow and improve what I love
So glad you found me!! Happy you are here.
Im singing in my rock band from Brasil without any education. Now I gonna follow all of Ken s tips and maybe join his classes. Cheers Ken🙏
4:45 I quit. I'm done trying. He just crushed anything my voice can even dream of doing.
You can do it, Gabrielle!
It's not about what he can do. That's his voice, not yours. Find what your voice can do, and make the very most of that. If you try emulating someone who has a ton of training and talent you are going to get frustrated, or pick up very bad habits. Concentrate on your voice, not his.
Oh, and never be afraid to make a horrifically bad sound. You have to make those sounds to learn how to make nice ones.
