Vocal Coach Reacts To In This Moment | Maria Brink | Forever | Live | Ken Tamplin

I'm just happy she's an artist, something about hearing anyone sing without coaching makes me feel like I'm hearing something truly unique.

[@markgordon4549]

You need to listen to Maria sing full voice, she is holding back in this video which changes her vocals because it is acoustical. Love you Maria!
❤🇨🇦🍁

[@kentamplin]

Mark Gordon 👍

[@bridgettecollins7121]

Mark Gordon I think defending or offending isn’t the point. She is off key a lot through this. He’s pointing out the importance of healthy screaming or vocal frying! I think it’s still great I love her but I totally agree with what he’s saying :)

[@macguyinnc]

To some extent, yes. But truthfully, having listened to Maria for years, I’ve grown increasingly worried about the effects the screaming has had on her voice. Listen to her earlier stuff and compare it to the newer stuff. You can hear the toll it’s taken on her voice.

[@PuertoRicoPat]

I adore Maria. I didn't like this song as much as the acoustic "Lost At Sea". I really see your points in this song. She even seems like she's straining in this song which is wild because I don't hear the strain in her metal voice. In any case I do find Maria to be a wonderful artist.

[@kentamplin]

👍👍👍

[@barbaravance6774]

I agree! And her Lost At Sea on this was much better. And I love her metal voice as well. Their newest song is really good!

[@JoannaKarlalady]

I'm an In This Moment fan and I love Maria with my heart, but I don't think she takes care of her voice properly, she said once in a interview that she didn't/don't take vocal lessons at all, so I'm kinda worry for her health 🥺 I guess she's just lucky for not having any serious problem this whole time

[@kentamplin]

😀

[@morganc.m1830]

I want to take lessons. I mean I've been in chorus in middle and high school and I've gotten better, but idk. I don't feel like I'm good enough to do what I want to do. I've finally gotten where I can sing higher (I used to not let myself sing higher and I'd get strained), but I'm still not great. I guess I want to be able to have someone who can help me one on one and help me be more confident.

[@janmingmalovemt]

I got a little change in my voice that I feel from your daily exercise, thank you always keep the informative video for us .. God bless you, if you want to be a singer then sing and do exercises that I feel indeed.

[@kentamplin]

Awesome! Rock on!

[@ximesaav9527]

Maria’s magnetism put us in the necessity to close our eyes to fully appreciate her voice 😂✨

[@ADDIDASSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

Hi Ken! Maria Brink needs your singing course as soon as possible. This is a code red situation. Someone needs to get her to your vocal academy this minute. With that said, I would be lying if I didn't admit that I did enjoy her whole carefree, free wheeling, braless attitude that made her performance a feast for the eyes if not necessarily the ears. Thanks for all the outstanding videos.

[@kentamplin]

👍👍👍

[@kodiecarlson8743]

I do think her voice has changed a lot since this performance, this was so long ago now but I truly believe she's found her place within her voice these days. I'd love to hear them do an acoustic set NOW.

[@xxPhatMattxx-Twitch]

In This Moment's theatrics in concert are awesome! The illusion's are crazy! I wasn't a fan of The Purge, but when I heard it live, the volume of Maria's shrieks at the end of the little rap bars keep her at "The queen of scream".

I don't think an acoustic performance is a fair judgement for what Maria Brink can do. Listen to her live performing anything but acoustic and she is phenomenal. Don't hate on an acoustic performance form a band that isn't know for acoustic anything.

Ken, it was SO funny when you shut your eyes to listen 😂😂 I've got to be truthful...when she was singing it made me tense up and I thought of the same word as you..."painful". Have you ever had a sound run through you like an electric current? That's about the best way I can describe this performance. I have heard her singing on other videos and she sounded great, though.

Maria’s vocals and screams can cut thru your soul like a blade and hold her ground very well among the blistering guitars.

Hey, Ken, Happy New Year from Spain!

[@GridDownSurvival]

I understand a lot of what you are saying.. because Amy Lee and Sharon Adel sing perfectly based on on your criteria.. but Maria brings the imperfect as the perfection.. Jeff Keith made a whole singing career singing just like this (band Tesla).. and Tesla was one of the best hard rock bands of the 1990s.. her voice does break and croak like you said.. but in ways that adds to the performance..

[@kentamplin]

😀

[@rbilleaud]

Admire what you do, Ken. I've been complimentary of the work you've done with your students. For me, however, I would say that the whole stripped down, "booze and cigarettes" thing works for In This Moment. It's not for everyone, but for their songs it works.

[@Netghost855]

Never heard Maria sing with acoustic songs, but my first thought is she sounds like Amy Lee a bit.

[@nellypresolska1944]

I agree to disagree... Her voice is great even with all of it's imperfections. I cannot evaluate her as a professional vocal coach, but I enjoy listening to her and I do not think it has anything to do with her appearance, as I am a woman.

[@kentamplin]

😊

[@Dragonfire1x]

I wish you did the first song in this show Lost at sea.
Because she sings with more power normally she is holding a lot of horse power back.

One thing about Maria Brink is her screams sound so....unhealthy....like "her vocal folds are beating each other up" unhealthy.... Am I wrong?
You were talking about Matt having the same problem...which he did, but I think a coach came in an fixed his placement, which sounds a lot richer.

[@avgjoeyoudontknow2274]

So I just discovered you yesterday and, I've started singing Karaoke with my family a few weeks ago and she sorta sounded like me at times and I'm not completely familiar with your vocabulary but she kinda sounded as if she was like horsed or perhaps winded of course I think I've had strep throat for the past few weeks so I'm just taking it easy studying some of your instructionals here on RUclips I very much appreciate the knowledge you are sharing! God bless, have a nice night!

Hi Ken;
I think it would be really fitting to react to Linda Ronstadt. She has been inducted into the HOF this year. “ You’re No Good “ would be a great choice. She is an absolute legend with amazing crossover appeal. If it wasn’t for her the Eagles may not have existed. She even opened for Jim Morrison, and The Doors.
Thanks, and love your reaction vids.

[@despairingleonardo]

Yes. Her vocal was unbelievable. The way she mixes scream with clean voice was epic. She was straining so much here tho.
Her vocal was way better in blood (acoustic) or whore. It was a few years after, she got vocal training probably

[@kentamplin]

👍

[@fourleafproductions9788]

I think it's because she's singing songs that normally have a lot of vocal fry so on some more head voice notes are usually a lot louder and more fried than clean

[@jeremystorm9101]

Hey Ken - I'm curious how much of the rough parts were stylistic rather than her "losing it". I've seen her live performances several times where she seems to do this on demand...even when addressing the audience...perhaps to add a sexiness quality to the sound? It kind of reminds me of Yebba - My Mind, where a lot of people think she's having difficult time technically with the song but she's shown she is in complete control of her voice and it was simply to add emotion. Which reminds me, I have not seen you do a reaction to that song yet and you 100000% need to. She sang it live a week after her mom committed suicide and it's probably the best live performance I've ever seen. Rock on!

Several years ago, I used to do Kurt Cobain screams. I would wait until my vocals were relaxed, which was always a few drinks in, when my vocal chords were good and dry.
This has hurt my range, and has virtually killed my falsetto, causing an unpleasing distortion (vocal nodes?)
For the past few years I have been working on singing healthier, and using less forced distortion in my voice. Is there any way to gain back vocal range and fix my falsetto? I feel it has gotten somewhat better, but progress is super slow.

And regardless of if you speak japanese, (I don't currently) Hironobu is such a great live performer and singer. Though it would take listening to the TV cut of the opening theme first to judge if he hit the notes right on stage. The clearest highest quality cut of that is the opening for the Dragon Ball Z Kakarot video game.
