Great video Ken, I was fortunate to watch Ronnie perform from the front of the stage and he was absolutely amazing. I was extremely fortunate to spend some time with him afterwards and I can't stress enough about how genuine, humble and just a sweet human being he was God bless him. 🙏🤘
I love your psychedelic t-shirts!! And, MAN, you just took all of my favorite singers to analyse, to study them, and to bring to us so amazing elements of learning and building amazing vocals!!! Thank you! Nowadays I'm finally feeling I'm able to sing some stuff, but I'm following your videos and lessons since, at least, 13 years ago!! So, THANK YOU SO MUCH, Ken, for EVERYTHING!!! And, until the day, the most difficult song I think to learn and sing, it's not Dio, it's not even Dickinson, but Tamplins: Straight between the eyes!!! Thank you for building a such amazing legacy for humanity! Love, Peace, Work, and Perseverance!
I recently discovered a rocking 1960 R&B song by LaVern Baker titled "Voodoo Voodoo". Her voice reminds me of Ronnie's. He covered several R&B and soul songs in the late '50s and early '60s, among them "Shout", "Ooh Poo Pah Doo", and "What'd I Say". This influence would show up in later performances when he sang soulful runs with great agility.
Ronnie was a brilliant singer and songwriter and storyteller and musician who was also a brilliant lyricist... Ronnie was the real deal,his lyrics can absolutely scratch your soul and his vocals are so transparent...
I appreciate you explaining to us the techniques and effects used by these vocalists (and engineers!), so much passes unnoticed by the untrained ear 👍🏻
Ken you're awesome! That doubling and room reverb technique REALLY gave that vocal SPACE! Man you can hear just how much bleeding from his phones the mic picks up!
Ken awesome Job i really am enjoying this series of analysis, please do the analysis on Cornell, Axl Rose, and Glennnnnnnnnn Hughes cant ever get enough of Glenn
Wow! Legendary! Another great powerful singer. And of course if it is coming from this channel the information is an absolute GOLD. Can’t wait for the next one.
Dio was a church choir singer when he was young. That's why he didn't have to take lessions. He was amazing. Really.. I thought that his voice was fuller. That "doubler" thing is magic! 😆
This was a few years ago so you may have found this out since. He actually nearly cut up the original tape of this track because he disliked it, he was stopped by someone. Thankfully 😅
What makes Dio's voice superior to most who try to cover him, is that behind all that growling, you can hear that pure unstrained beautiful tone. Which most great singers have. I feel in some ways the carriage is being put before the horse here. If I were to teach Dio, I would first teach the studrnt how to sing just as powerful without adding any of the growls.
This is one of my favorite metal songs of all time, rippin' guitar solo too! I was on a motorcycle trip last year, and right as I approached the first curve of an absolutely epic mountain road in Nevada, the song shuffle on my Harley stereo kicked in and the opening power chord of 'Rainbow in the Dark' blared out. It was one of those zen moments in life, just pristine, and I'll never forget it. Speed limits might have been exceeded in those curves. :)
I love this series. Dude, Ken, you're the man. I love the way you break down vocals, there just isn't anybody better. I have to get your course. I've been singing for 25 years, but I was trained by an opera singer who really hated rock music, so she never taught me all those little secrets. I figured out a lot on my own, but it's nice to hear you verify some of the things I've already learned. I was considering doing a cover/tab video for Rainbow in the Dark, and, since I replay everything when I do a cover, including vocals, this tutorial is going to come in so handy. I guess I just wanted to say thanks man. I can tell just by listening to you that you love people and that you're always trying to help them be better musicians and that's something I aspire to myself, and greatly admire in others.
Wow - what a fantastic breakdown of this song. The more I learn about music, the more I understand why some songs/bands span generations while others just fade away. I always thought Ronny was better than most, but had no idea why. Thanks so much!
Amazing job here, Ken. I am following your channel since last year (I guess) and I must say that THIS IS THE TRUE VOCAL LESSON, when you just split it up a vocal track and teach us lots of things. But I must say: That natural drive on Dio's voice is unique. He was legendary.
This is great, Ken. Love this breakdown / "how-it's-done" series, especially Dio as he has been my favourite singer for decades and the one that really made me want to sing. When I first got into singing, I always longed for a singing teacher who would show exactly how someone like Dio actually sings as he does! And now it's happened as we have you - thanks!
For the producer geeks out there, it is important to mention that this isolated track is going thru a compressor (Not the kind of vocal compression Ken teaches, but an audio effect making the vocals sit a bit tighter within the overall mix)
He was a diminutive, demonic Elf from the depths of Hell with a voice that could shake the heavens and reduce mountains to rubble!! Plus he was a very nice guy! RIP RJD!
Lot to learn from isolated vocals, Ronnie James Dio amazing rock singer but Ken your very close to his style with your own nuances e.g. like the way you hold out the note on "found" with vibrato awesome!!!
Been playing bass several years. For a long time, I never had anything between my bass & amp except a cord. I like vocals the same way. Dio & yourself can easily pull it off. Not all singers can. When effects are added, it makes it twice as good. You do a fantastic job with Dio's songs! Dio will always be the GOAT! Thanks so much for the video Ken! RIP Ronnie.....
You always publish your videos timely! Strangely enough, I happen to be tackling the very issues you address in this one. Rest assured I'm doing this with proper training and teaching. Still, you are the lighthouse guiding my journey into singing: thank you so much, Ken!
@@kentamplin I do, but it's no wonder :-) You teach us the key components of good singing technique: any singing issue will have to relate to at least one of them... Can't wait to put my hands on your course!
I'm really enjoying this series, Ken! You show all your techniques by actually demonstrating yourself. That's the difference between you and so many others. I appreciate that!
I love these videos Ken. Your voice and your singing sound amazing to me. I don't have a good voice but it doesn't stop me from trying. I look forward to learning more. Thank you.
I have been learning dio and singing for a while and I have been struggling a lot with losing my voice then this doubler effect always confuses me if I'm on point. Ken is like my Guru from the very first time, thank you Ken for all your efforts in these free videos, once I'm able I'll buy that course too!
Ken, first of all thanks for your channel which is a pure jewel who evreyone who is interested in vocals. Even if i'm not a singer (or maybe a beginner very shy !) I really apperciate how you analyse vocals on isolated tracks. That's so efficient and giving so much information. Your analysis is always very clear, and god, when you show us how "they" done, we can see that you are a very fu**** good singer !! Greetings from france were i have a lot of fun with your works ! Thanks warmly ;) You rock Guy !! 🤘
Hey Ken! Please do one for me. That would be Eric Adams from Manowar! Thanks for taking the time to analyze the greatest singers of our time and sharing your knowledge with younger singers. You are definitely contributing to the "singer community". Cheers and stay healthy!
Compression, doubling and harmonizers, all good, I have a TC Helicon gadgets that does that, but very important to be able to sing without any electronics, great Video Ken, awesome voice, Ronnie RIP.
I have been a HUGE Ronnie James Dio fan since 1976. He still easily blows most vocalists out of the solar system to this day. Ken Tamplin does an amazing job covering Dio in this video.
undoubtedly “Dio” he is already a legend, ken.!!!!. your videos are very professional and you are also a great singer, I would like to know if you would ask to analyze the voice of Joey Tempest in songs like Tomorrow or Carrie. Thanks 🙏
@@kentamplin even if you can’t find or easily make an isolated vocal track for it. I’d still love to hear you cover it. You do amazing covers of dio songs
Wow!! That’s impressive! You sing great! You can do all the songs I bet….to sing like the legendary DIO? My favorite singer/songwriter?! Geez…..Plus I didn’t know that DIO used a doubler on the chorus… it sounds larger than life..never heard his isolated vocal tracks though. I like how you explain the techniques used in the singing..I know it’s hard to sing that way. There is so much going on in that piece….just that one line. Takes a lot of practice.

Ken is like the Bob Ross of vocal training.
Rock on! And I hope your happy little clouds rock on, too.
@@kentamplin , I'm in California. I smoke happy little clouds, all day. Ken is SO inspiring. What a creative spirit.
Yes let's put a happy little guitar solo right there
hahaha i can already imagine ken with a fro
That's funny , but true I think 😀
the anger,the growl,the range....ronnie was unique NOBODY can/could sing like him to this day
Ronnie James Dio, the best singer in Rock & Metal!!!!!
David J. Conrad 👍👍👍
@@kentamplin Can you do donny hathaway isolated vocals for he ain't heavy he's my brother ?
He’s up there; I would suggest Rob Halford is more dynamic, but that’s just my opinion. Both amongst the greatest songs.
Spot on !
boss comment
12 years without the legendary Ronnie James Dio . Hearing you singing made me remember Dio, it made me cry with longing and emotion.
Great video Ken, I was fortunate to watch Ronnie perform from the front of the stage and he was absolutely amazing. I was extremely fortunate to spend some time with him afterwards and I can't stress enough about how genuine, humble and just a sweet human being he was God bless him. 🙏🤘
Right on! I had the same experience with him!
@@kentamplin That's awesome and keep up the great work you do. ✌
I am a simple person whenever I see dio i click
You know what's good, Mapin!
@@kentamplin absolutely 👍🎤
Dio and jotaro hentai 😎👍
We all have our gods to follow...dio is mine
🤘 🤘
Not only are you very talented, but you have an unreal shirt collection, love them ken! Todd from Queensland australia
I love your psychedelic t-shirts!! And, MAN, you just took all of my favorite singers to analyse, to study them, and to bring to us so amazing elements of learning and building amazing vocals!!!

The perfect singing videos - isolated vocal takedowns... doesn’t get much better than this
👍💜😀
You are amazing to get what you do out of your voice

I discovered Ken Tamplin 6 years ago. I had found on youtube these isolated vocals few years ago. Studied them a lot. Thanks Ken! God Bless you!
Rock on, Lucian!
I appreciate you explaining to us the techniques and effects used by these vocalists (and engineers!), so much passes unnoticed by the untrained ear 👍🏻
My pleasure, Swamper60!!
Ken you're awesome! That doubling and room reverb technique REALLY gave that vocal SPACE! Man you can hear just how much bleeding from his phones the mic picks up!
Rock on!
The best. What knowledge. These series are gold. Thank you
Glad you think so!
Nice! Lots of good information here. You definitely have a great voice for covering Dio! The growl is just right!
Happy to hear that, JOhn!
Dio was the embodiment of tiny but mighty. Beautiful and powerful voice, the best in metal.
I couldn't even tell the difference. You have a great voice ken
What is amazing to me is he did this on tour for 300 days a year. If I tried that, my voice wouldn't last an hour.
Indeed!
Ken awesome Job i really am enjoying this series of analysis, please do the analysis on Cornell, Axl Rose, and Glennnnnnnnnn Hughes cant ever get enough of Glenn
Glad you are enjoying it, Gaston!
Chills when I hear Ronnie's vocal track, and chills when I hear Ken's vocal track! Excellent analysis and performance!
Thanks, jonnyQuest!
I can't imagine my life without the voice of Ronnie James Dio.
I couldn't agree more, Joe!
@@kentamplin You are amazing yourself, great vocals, great teaching. I'm not a singer, I'm a guitar player.
The best vocal singer of all the time. Thanks for sharing Ken. Stay safe and rock on 🙂🤘🏻
Thanks, you too!
Awesome! I forwarded this video to my band’s lead singer. Please keep these Dio tutorial videos coming. 🤘🏽
Will do!
Dio was just amazing. I only saw him live once, the year he passed, and he was still totally awesome! Such an inspiration for any singer!
Absolutely!
My all-time favorite vocalist! Have you ever heard Ronnie in his “Bobby Darin” days as Ronnie & The Red Caps or Ronnie Dio & The Prophets? Fantastic!
Absolutely, Swamper60!
Swamp, ever hear early, early Jimi Jamison singing a 1968 pop song back in those days called "I can cry" when he was just a young teen? Amazing!
Such a good job Ken! Your voice is wonderful
Wow! Legendary! Another great powerful singer. And of course if it is coming from this channel the information is an absolute GOLD. Can’t wait for the next one.
More on the way, Joshua!
Dio was a church choir singer when he was young. That's why he didn't have to take lessions. He was amazing.
Really.. I thought that his voice was fuller. That "doubler" thing is magic! 😆
Thanks for the visit, catz!
That and he'd been doing professional singing for at least 30 years by the time he recorded Holy Diver.
"When there's ligggghhhtniiiiing!" as he drops into God mode.
The greatest singer ever. You nailed it!
Thank you, Marcin!
You are very welcome!
This was a few years ago so you may have found this out since.
He actually nearly cut up the original tape of this track because he disliked it, he was stopped by someone.

I appreciate that, Erik!
@@kentamplin it's no flattering. It's facts 💪
No question!
I'm addicted to your channel Ken. As Dio would say "Thank you so much"
What do you get when Opera and Metal have a baby? Ronnie James Dio! One of a kind that's for sure!
Indeed, Rob!

Ronnie James Dio and Layne Staley are two voices I truly enjoy.
Dio was one of a kind. So hard to emulate. Ken, you do as well as anyone possibly can! Great job!
Thanks, Sharp Family Dentistry!
That’s was awesome Ken!!!
Thanks, Jay!
You killed it, Ken! 🤘
That was so freaking cool that you did that and broke it down like that.
Glad you enjoyed it, Marcus!
discovered you few months ago..these vocal breakdowns on songs i grew up with is so cool! Thanx!
Glad you like them!

The best teacher out there...the GREAT Ken Tamplin...superb job Ken! RJD would be proud!
Thanks so much, Dieter!
Ken you nailed this.....there isn't any other "coach" out there that can deliver anything close to this....
The proof is in the singing!
Interesting vocal analysis. Your demonstration on Rainbow in the Dark is also great
Thank you, Željko!
Wow when you sang the first line, you nailed it, chapeau man!!
Glad you liked it!!
Awesome stuff Ken! Really awesome.
Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
I like your analysis, Ken. Great way to pivot during the Covid scare. It's a smart product differentiation, a unique hook on Vocal Coach reactions.

Great as usual, thanks Ken 👍.

There are just not so many people that Can match his talent. Ronnie is just an incredible Singer, and one of my favourite metal singers.
Thank you so much for this analysis!
My pleasure!
Excellent Dio singer Ken ! Dio definitely the Man!
