Back in black is such a hard song for anyone to sing. In the original studio version it wasn't head voice but a high-pitched scream (that is unsafe and ultimately destroyed Brian Johnson's voice in the 80s so he switched it to all head voices in 1990). But this is probably the closest you can ever get while still being safe on your throat. Cudos
I believe that's accurate yes. I've tried to add the grit to falsetto and it literally hurts after a few lines. My mistake was not learning and doing the exercise that Krn demonstrated, to get a healthy volume on falsetto so I can mix in the chest voice. At least I think that's what he was doing?
After watching your videos and practicing my vocals according to your instructions, I actually found myself singing Thunderstruck, Gone Away, and Rock n Roll like they were any other song. I was completely floored! Trying to sing any one of those songs, much less all three, with a full band behind me used to leave me without a voice for the next couple of days. Thanks to your technique and training, I have to say I aced it, and was still ready for more. Just amazing! Thank you :)
I haven’t really sung much rock before. I was trained with a lot of choral pieces and had a love for theatre and jazz music. But, I think the range of different musicals I’ve practiced and learned from has helped me dip my toes into many other genres. I think the reason I never got fully into rock is because of some fear that I’m gonna hurt my throat trying. I just never found a teacher to show me proper techniques. So, I guess my point is, thank you. I really appreciate this.
Oh man, thank you kindly. I love the parts where you sing while explaining without all the effects and backup - makes stuff much clearer. I've been working on this, and on those exact songs, so it's extremely helpful for me.
This guy has forgot more than we will ever know about singing. I watch knowing I’ll never sing anything with any aplomb but love this channel. Well done, Sir.
I love ac dc back in black awesome song love thunserstruck another awesome song once again great demonstrations on how too sing like them your the master Ken when it comes to demonstrations you know how to do it and always nail it awesome job buddy at demonstrating ac dc rocks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
i do this the octave below and it kinda works (especially as i have an extended bass range (A1-A4 chest) - Great advice from Ken around how to make your head sound like chest, Safely! Dont ever attempt this in chest (unless youre a freak) or you risk eviscerating your vocal folds pretty damn quick
you should have been a singer for a major rock band. I'm telling you; you are an amazing singer and singing coach to those beautiful ladies you have in your videos 🤘👍
Could you do a video of managing to sing when having bad vocal days and how warming up plays a role etc. I could hear that your mix was more connected in the cover video, which made me think if you had your voice warmed up when shooting this new video. Let's say you had warmed up before coming gig, but still had bad day hitting your mix, what'd you do? Belt and drag your chest all gig, avoid mix altogether or maybe defaulting to more head voice than usual etc?
Wow... Your voice is so, so, so amazing! I'm your very big fan! Your videos are fantastic. Love you, you are my favourite RUclipsr and singer and I love your "I Just Want To Celebrate" cover! Nelly xx :)
Your explanation of how these high register notes are all falsetto . With strong breath support has debunked so many myths from fellow musicians . I will be showing them your vids when they don't believe . Funny story all the bands I've sang for people would state you have such a deep speaking voice how do you hit those shrill shrieks and upper mid range screaming ? Because I was taught how to use a falsetto and blend it into chest tone . Since I began watching your channel this past 10 months . I've found I can do much better than I thought . Why limit oneself ? It's gonna take work . However your channel has really helped clean up a lot of weaknesses I didn't even notice before. Round about way of saying thanks 🙏 .
Really cool to hear how he did it Ken, & that isolated is so different from what we "think" we hear. Curious ... do your sliders always disagree with your setting choices and try to "sneak tweak" ? 🤣
Great stuff Ken! Haven't tried ACDC yet, Steelheart was hard enough, lol. BTW, Kayla and Sara rock! I would lose my mind to sing with TSO! Take care. 🤘
Hey Ken, Your Awesome... Just a quick question,,,, When it comes to a sound board, why are there so many many sound control settings? Because there are so many settings for the sound, would the human ear really hear the suttle changes ? or do I have that wrong. Im just curious... Many Thanks Ken. I'm following your channel all the time now... Cheers, Art
@@kentamplin Thanks Ken, I'll do that. Keep up the trmendously good work. btw, Do you ever have Q&A sessions, I think it would be fascinating and enjoyable to chat with you... as I'd have a lot of questions. Cheers, Art
These other coaches never actually sing any songs. It's relatively easy to eek out a line or two, that is not an example. It's another thing altogether to actually grade the quality of the voice on not only an entire song, but multiple songs in many styles with many students demonstrating themselves. This is the only true way to know if a method is actually working or not.
Hey Ken! Thanks to you and a few other people on RUclips, I’ve found my mixed voice. I was wondering how I get it to sound less breathy, and also how to build endurance with it because after like three mix songs, I end up “losing my mixed voice” for the day, where I can’t sing in mixed at all anymore
Hey Ken I was wondering if you can talk about what it is that we are growing in our falsetto that needs to be worked on overtime to build that strength is it the larynx is it forcing an open throat is it something else can you please talk about what it is that we need to be building inside our throats to be able to sing like this consistently without it drying out or closing up
the question I have is... are you doing "OPEN THROAT SINGING " in the head/reinforced voice? Cause in your course you just start singing from the hight note but don't explain the throat/lyrnx positions.

Don't take this as meaningless flattery . However I honestly wish ACDC would have used you instead of Axl . I've been doing Heavy Metal vocals since 2002 . So I believe my observation for whom is More qualified is valid . Btw good explanation . I learned a few new tips .
You make this kind of singing sound cool. I always thought Johnson would simply use what had been left of his voice after years of shouting. I spent years looking for rockbands who were like ACDC but with another singer. I was very happy with Swiss "Krokus" and then even more with "Wolfsbane" (young Blaze Bailey). But yeah, the fact they chose Axl Rose as a replacement makes clear they wanted their singer sound like demonstrated by yourself. Still I wished they had taken Stuart McKie from Doomfoxx ruclips.net/video/awFQniFeFBg/видео.html
How come Ken's sound isn't feedbacking? He seems to be able to hear the reverb on his voice and has no headphones on so I assume it is from the loudspeakers? But wouldn't the mic then pick it up too? I am new to this and a bit confused, if someone could explain I would appreciate it.
@@kentamplin Pues ya me gustaría tener esa voz. Lo que pasa es que no entiendo todo lo que dices en el vídeo (mi inglés está oxidado y estancado). Por cierto, ¿sabes español? Saludos.
I see that vocal coach Chris Lick My Pee Pe' stealing everything you do. He steals your How To Sing Like series (even copies all your thumbnails) and pretends it's his own. He steals your lessons and posts them as his own. He steals your isolated vocal series, on and on. I doubt he's ever taken a vocal lesson in his life. He never actually sings anything, and yet he claims to be an expert based on plagiarizing and regurgitating your stuff. Wow...

Ken this is truly real deal vocal coaching. People have paid lots of money for so much less. You definitely prove the proof is in the singing.
I appreciate that!

Wow 😲Thank you, Ken. Appreciate now, even more, these metal vocalists. Great stuff! 💯
Rock on!
Hey Ken...
I am glad m 3rd to watch this...
Luv u a lot as always...

Great video!
How about a video on great underrated singers like Noddy Holder of Slade, who was actually offered the ACDC gig, or even Roger Daltrey?
Wow!!!! My compliment
Great again!
What power!
Awesome 👏
My band was making me do this and I was terrified! Thank you!

I must be behind in the news. Axel Rose? ACDC picked up Axel? Just my opinion, but you are a waaayyy better fit for that style Ken!
🤘🤘🤘
One of these days you and Sammy must work together on a song 🎤🎹🎶.
What's about Axl-I was shocked how good he was with ACDC. It was close to young Axl mixed with ACDC singers. I liked it a lot.
Cool!
