In this video, I explain some of the reasons why your voice may tend to crack and what you can do to prevent it. Check it out! Stop Voice Cracking Now! Here's How! Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy 4K Just say NO to Crack! (Voice cracking that is :-) ) If there's one thing I've learned, that would be this: I cannot overemphasize the importance of abdominal strength singing enough! I see and hear so many vocal coaches and singers spend so much time on adjusting positions of the throat and tongue, vowel placement, silly parlor tricks that don't last for more than a single line in the song, and the list goes on and on. When all the while, they are completely missing the core tenant of sustaining a great voice. And that non-negotiable building block is diaphragmatic abdominal strength breathing for singing. I don't care how many rooms you add to your building, if you don't have the correct foundation, you will not be able to sustain holding up any of those room additions to the house you are building if you don't have this one extremely important component of support. And you'll be chasing vocal issues from here to kingdom come, blaming everything except the very thing that is most important to determine where other vocal issues could be coming from. That being Abdominal Strength Breathing. Now, with that said, this is the first thing that must be looked at when trying to prevent something like voice cracking, which can also be caused by many things such as: 1). Not enough support to sustain a note 2). Pinching and squeezing to get to a note and probably because of a lack of correct support 3). The vocalist has not built enough stamina yet to sustain that note 4). Mucus on cords (which can include postnasal drip and even acid reflux) 5). A tired or fatigued voice or even vocal nodes or lesions. And the list goes on. In this video, I break down some of these elements to determine how to overcome voice cracking. I hope you find this information informative and helpful on your journey for singing. Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy – Where The PROOF Is In The Singing!

In this video, I take on a great Ray Gillen song, from Badlands: "Dreams In The Dark". I hope you like it! Ray Gillen - Badlands - Dreams In The Dark - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Let's face it, I'm an old school rock 'n' roll voice guy. What does that mean? I don't mean I'm an old school wash up, has-been, irrelevant Rock 'n' Roll voice guy. I mean that I like the kind of songs where the lead vocal can excite an entire arena all by itself. And in most of today's singing, this is a lost art (this could probably be said about a lot of different things today). But wait Ken, aren't you supposed to be talking about Ray Gillen and "Dreams In The Dark"? Glad you asked! Yes, that's exactly where I'm heading with this. Ray was at the tail end of what I felt was the closing of an era. When I first heard Ray in the Black Sabbath days, I kid you not, I thought they had rehired DIO and somehow DIO obtained a higher vocal range and decided to start listening to a lot of David Coverdale! (There is a "Black Sabbath - 1986 Gillen Live In Montreal" video floating around on YouTube, you should check out!) I was like… Wow!!! So when I heard him with Jake E. Lee in Badlands singing "Dreams In The Dark", I was certain that this was gonna be the next big Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, or Deep Purple/Rainbow arena band. As fate would have it, we lost Ray way too early to AIDS. So I decided to throw my hat in the ring and take on "Dreams In The Dark" myself as a vocal demonstration and a tribute to one of the most iconic post 70's-80's rock vocalists of all time. I hope I did it some justice. Ray, you are missed! Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy – Where The PROOF Is In The Singing!

In this Singing Tutorial Video, I show you the correct tongue placement for Open Throat Singing. Learn how to sing properly! Correct Tongue Placement for Singing - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy 4K It's almost laughable how many people mock my tongue placement for singing. It's almost equally laughable how many vocal coaches try to call me out on it and say it's tongue tension when they themselves cannot sing, cannot prove what they are espousing, and show no students doing it either. All the while, I'm explaining the exact transformation of all the different stages of tongue placement in order to get to where I am today, and why I (and my students) do what we do. And the irony is, when you watch some of the greatest singers in the world, starting with Pavarotti, you can clearly see large manipulations of the tongue in the same way that I am demonstrating it here in this video, and in my singing videos as well. Check out Luciano Pavarotti's tongue at 2:47 in this video: • Luciano Pavarotti... Check out Adam Lambert's tongue at 4:57 in this video: • Adam Lambert's Be... Check out Whitney Houston's tongue placement in this video: • Whitney Houston -... All those out there that speak without knowledge and without demonstration will never learn because they're too full of themselves and do not take the time to really investigate these concepts. This is also true for what I teach regarding open throat technique and some of the earliest, most sacred non-negotiables of contiguous phrase open throat singing. By far the most powerful, effective, long lasting, and effortless singing in the world. Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy – Where The PROOF Is In The Singing! (Not Bullsh*t Ivory Tower Talk) Learn To Sing!

In this video, I take on a very challenging vocal piece: Led Zeppelin's KASHMIR! Let me know how you think I did! Led Zeppelin - Kashmir - Cover - 4K - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Kashmir Reimagined. Growing up on Led Zeppelin, I couldn't even pretend to count how many times I've heard this song (as did all of us who grew up in the 70s). I'm thinking probably close to 1,000 times over the past almost 50 years (this song came out in 1975). I also can't tell you how many times I've heard cover bands cover this song over and over. Much like the Led Zeppelin song "Rock and Roll" and the ubiquitous "Stairway To Heaven" (you remember in Wayne's World, where this was the one song that could not be played in the guitar store? Well, that, and Smoke On The Water, ha, ha). So what's my point? My point is that while I am a vocal coach, I have over 40 records out and approach my teaching from an artist's perspective. And pretty much like every song I do, I always try to contribute something to it, rather than doing the same old, same old. So I thought about it. I thought about reimagining Kashmir, not just from a singing perspective, but also an instrumental perspective. So when I heard the Godzilla movie soundtrack with Puff Daddy ft. Jimmy Page "Come With Me" (Puff Daddy renamed Kashmir), I was pretty blown away on how slamming the track was! Not to put Puff Daddy down at all, I was just surprised that there was anything he did that I personally could see myself doing, and even more surprised that he could take such an epic classic rock track and make it slam even a little harder than the original (he removed the melody, removed the bridge, and rapped to it). So I thought, if he was able to reimagine it, I would take it a step further by: 1) Using my favorite rock vocal influences such as Robert Plant, David Coverdale, Paul Rodgers, Dio, Lou Gramm, etc. 2) Contributing different melodic influences to try to take this song to a new level and still maintaining the integrity and original intent of the artist. With all that said, this is precisely the inspiration that drove me to create this vocal demonstration. I hope you can appreciate the liberties I took with this :-) Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy – Where The PROOF Is In The Singing! Learn To Sing Like This!

In this video, KTVA Student Kati Cher takes on Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVIN' and Totally ROCKS IT! Journey - Don't Stop Believin' - Cover - Kati Cher - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I think it is ironic that this Journey song "Don't Stop Believin' " went on to be one of Journey's greatest hits! Or maybe more accurately stated, one of Jonathan Cain's greatest hits. And here's the irony and the story behind the song: Musician Jonathon Cain is the man behind Journey’s iconic song, “Don’t Stop Believin’.” However, the 72-year-old artist, who helped inspire generations through music, said God was his inspiration. In a recent interview with “I Am Second,” Cain revealed that his father not only encouraged him to pursue a relationship with God, but also to explore music. “My story begins with my father when I was very young,” he recalled. “I would go to church with him and watch him pray and he would pray so fervently that tears would come down his cheeks and I wanted that so badly.” “I said, ‘Can I go with you to Jesus?’ and he said, ‘You have to get your own walk with Jesus, get your own relationship, John,’” Cain explained. Cain said that the first time he thought about his personal relationship with God came after a near-death experience. “We went to Arkansas and I had a near-death experience when I stepped in a big hole in the lake and went down and I was drowning,” he said. “A man had seen me apparently and I felt a hand pull me out of the water, give me mouth-to-mouth and bring me back on the pier. I said to my parents I nearly died, and it was only because of God I’m here.” “It was also a wake-up call that God was preparing me to face life,” “My father saw it right away and led me straight to music,” he said. “He said, ‘You know son, you were saved for something greater and that must be music.’ He got me straight to music school and music seemed to be a redemption for me, I was able to set myself free.” After landing a spot with a band called The Babys, Cain discovered that he was a gifted songwriter. “My father was the one that gave me the advice, ‘don’t stop believing,’” he said. “My dog got hit by a car, it was tragic, and I needed money to pay for the vet bill. I had to call him and I hated asking him for money but I said, ‘Dad I just wonder, should I give up on this music dream and come home to Chicago and forget about it?’ There was a silence for a minute and then he said, ‘John, this is your vision. No, you’re not coming home, stay the course, don’t stop believing.’” “I wrote it down in this little lyric book that I had when I was writing lyrics, and it wasn’t until five years later, Steve Perry looked at me and said, ‘You got another song?’ I said, ‘Well, let me look at my book,’” Cain recalled. “Sure enough, there’s what Dad had said. I wrote a melody to have a city boy and a small town girl on a midnight train going anywhere… I came in the next day and it was history. I believe it is what got us into the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame, 100%. Thank you dad.” “Years later, when my father passed, I was devastated,” he said. “I didn’t think I would be able to carry on. I always wrote for him, I thought. I said everything, every note I played I can trace back to my father. Then God, His Voice came to me,” he continued. “I sat and was weeping on the piano, and [He said]: ‘No John, it’s been Me. It’s Me, John, it’s always been Me. Through him, but I Am the Source. I Am where it comes from.” “It opened my eyes to the transcendence of a Father reaching down to his son through his natural father,” he added. “There is this Heavenly Father, this voice that came to me and now I know where it all comes from.” Now, Cain leads worship music at church and continues to tour with Journey. Kati and I felt it would be a good opportunity to re-present this song in hopes to continue the tradition of inspiring others as was originally meant by Jonathan Cain. I think Kati totally nailed it!

In this video, I give you singing tips on how to take care of your vocal instrument to help keep it in top shape! How to Care for Your Voice - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy For fear of sounding cynical in my opening statement I will simply state this: sometimes common sense is not so common! It surprises me to find out how few people value nutrition and exercise. Quality living permeates through our entire bodies and even our mental health. And yet we live in a fast food culture that races from burger to burger, pizza to pizza, pasta to pasta, you name it! Not that there's anything wrong, I believe, with having an occasional burger, piece of pizza, or a good plate of spaghetti. But it's become the main staple of our dietary system in much of the West. This is also true of the overuse of alcohol that can be problematic to our digestive track, and eventually to our vocal folds. In this video, I briefly touch on a few things that should be no-brainers (but apparently aren't), in the hopes that we will take these things seriously for our long-term physical and vocal health.

This song is one of the most difficult vocal songs you could ever choose to learn. I won't say it was easy, but check it out and let me know how you think I did. Judas Priest - Painkiller - Cover - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy 4K When I chose to record this song, I realized I had two paths I could take. 1). Do my best to sing it just like Rob Halford, predominantly in reinforced falsetto. 2). Stretch myself and try to sing most of the entire song in a belted chest resonant sound, which is literally 3 to 4 times more difficult to do. I chose the latter. I thought "What the heck! Practice what you preach and see how far you can make it in this song, belting almost entirely in chest voice instead of relying on a reinforced falsetto." While I know full good and well I will be criticized for not sounding just like Rob, I am fully prepared for that, because that is not what I am looking to get out of this song from a "personal best" standpoint. It would have been much, much easier to stay in falsetto throughout this song (and still it would not have been any easy task), but this song is a beast to take on, no matter how you sing it. If you listen closely to Rob Halford's vocals, you'll notice he basically has two voices. A belted chest sound that usually peaks at around an A4. And a falsetto that kicks in around B-flat all the way up to a F#5. Rob has learned to bring his falsetto down into his upper belting register to have a powerful low falsetto register. But this can also become problematic, because there is a tendency to rely on bridging early and going into falsetto instead of pulling chest voice up into this area to keep the chest voice nice and strong. With all that said I give you... PAIN, PAIN, KILLER, KILLER! P-A-I-N-K-I-L-L-E-R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this video, KTVA Student Kati Cher does an incredible rendition of Faithfully! Watch Now! Let Kati take you on a wonderful Journey! Journey - Faithfully - Cover - Kati Cher - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Next to Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is", I believe that Journey's "Faithfully" is one of the greatest rock ballads of all time. It's also one of the most difficult to sing. Let me explain! It's one thing to have a lot of dynamic range for singing a song. It's also quite another to evoke such incredible passion and emotion and to literally live the story while you are singing it. Few people have the ability and capacity to pull this off. For this reason, I thought it was important to showcase that we have combined technique with artistry, passion, and emotion. I believe Kati did a phenomenal job in capturing the essence of Steve Perry and his original performance of "Faithfully." Let us know how we did!

In this video, I give you some SOLID tips to get you on a good path for your vocal journey. You need to heed what I'm saying here, if you're serious about making progress with your singing voice. 5 Incredible Singing Tips 4K - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy 1. Get good quality information from reliable sources. The Internet is amazing. There is such a vast amount of information, it's incredible! And particularly on YouTube. There is hardly a subject out there that you can't go to YouTube to try to get answers. And while the Internet is a tremendous blessing, it can also be very difficult to decipher what information is legit and what isn't. I'm not here to bag on other vocal coaches, but I must say that I hear some of the most ridiculous nonsense spewed on YouTube and the fact that people buy into it boggles my mind. Let me give you a couple of examples: One extremely well-known local coach from Los Angeles, who has millions and millions of views, keeps telling her students to "blow more air, blow more air, blow more air". What does that even mean? To huff and puff and blow the house down? No folks! We don't want to blow more air! We want to understand how to conserve air and use it to our advantage. And the overuse of air is the kiss of death for the vocal cords, drying and stressing them out. Another example is another very well-known vocal coach telling people to use consonant sounds as much as possible for glottal stops. Also insanity! The more you train the throat to close down with consonant sounds, the more you constrict the throat, and the more difficult it is to learn how to keep it open while singing. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Just because you have a YouTube degree doesn't mean you're right! 2. Practice that good information consistently. Coming off of point number 1: Because there is so much confusing information out there, it's difficult to know what to trust. And because it's difficult to know what to trust, it's easy to move from idea to idea and concept to concept, chasing down the ever elusive rainbow of how to get the voice you want. Most legit concepts for singing take quite a bit of time for them to maturate, "hold", and build stamina for consistency. So it's easy to blow off correct information, thinking it doesn't work because you haven't given a chance to work. A perfect example of this is people that want to connect their chest voice with their head voice through the passaggio, but they don't understand that it takes quite some time to develop this art. So they race off to the next person that will give them that diet pill to lose weight quick, rather than going to the gym, working out, and eating correctly like they're supposed to to have a sustainable legitimate path for success. 3. Don’t overuse air. As I mentioned in point number 1, understanding how to utilize, conserve, pace the breath, and mitigate air is one of the holy grail's to singing. 4. Don’t get distracted when practicing. As I have said many times and I will say it again, it's not practice that makes perfect. It's perfect practice that makes perfect. 5. Do a proper warm up. Few people love to go to the gym and work out. It can be arduous, it can be tiring, and getting the strength, stamina and mental fortitude to want to work out takes determined effort. So what do we do? We try to do the least amount we can to "get by" so we can start singing! But I want you to think about something. If you were a soccer/football player and heading for a tournament, or let's say the World Cup, and you hadn't spent the time training your body to have the stamina and endurance to last 90 minutes of arduous playing, you would get crushed! So why is it that we think we can get away with not exercising our voices? Guess what, we can't! Take the time! Spend the time to do a proper workout. I cover all of these points in my video and cover them extensively in my singing course called "How to sing better than anyone else." I hope these tips and points help you on your singing journey.

In this video, I show you what you need to know about high notes. Really high notes... How To Sing A High Note With Ease - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy When learning how to sing a high note there are 5 Major Dynamics that come into play: 1. Before attempting any note, making certain you have the abdominal strength to sustain the note 2. The mechanics of knowing how to get the note 3. The mechanics of correct vowel placement 4. Giving yourself "permission" to hit the note (psychology of singing) 5. The consistency of knowing how to get the first four elements by building muscle-memory, with unconscious competence. Let's break each one of these down: 1. Before attempting any note, making certain you have the abdominal strength to sustain the note. You need to know how to utilize the diaphragm and your entire abdominal cavity as the Engine that drives your car for strength to get to the note you are looking to achieve. I have a huge section on this in my singing course and several great tutorials for free on YouTube. 2. The mechanics of knowing how to get the note. Once diaphragmatic strength has been established, you need to understand how not to "over-sing" the bottom or the low portion of a scale/passage in a song, and save that strength with "equal resistance" as you rise to hit the note you are looking to achieve (equal resistance, meaning that the higher up you go, the more strength in the abdomen you need to sustain the note). 3. The mechanics of correct vowel placement. Once the correct amount of strength required is understood, there are correct vowel shapes that need to take place in the throat, which is called vocal tract shaping. A vowel will start very large on the bottom and will need to pare down as it ascends, so as not to pull too much "weight" up in the sound (or too much muscle mass in the throat) when ascending a scale/passage. 4. Giving yourself "permission" to hit the note (psychology of singing). Believe it or not, people "freaking out" over not hitting a certain note causes the body to lock down into a fight or flight response and inhibits their ability to give themselves permission to hit that note consistently. So we train ourselves psychologically not to think about the high note, but think about the correct amount of strength in the abdomen, the correct vowel placement, and then repetition for consistent reduplication (this includes point 5 as well). In this video, I touch these elements on how to sing a high note with ease and I hope you find this video informative and useful on your singing journey. For those interested, I have huge portions of my course that help people achieve this more in-depth. Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy – Where The PROOF Is In The Singing! Learn To Sing Like This!

In this video, KTVA Student Gabriela Gunčíková performs a cover of Adele's SKYFALL. Check it out. She ROCKS it. Adele - Skyfall - Cover - Gabriela Gunčíková - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy There is hardly a James Bond soundtrack that I don't like. I love the theme of the ascending fourth chromatically going up and down the scale to create a very signature sound for the Bond franchise. In fact, there are really only two franchises that have done this. One is Mission Impossible and the other is James Bond. Both have kept the integrity of that theme while morphing the chord progression and melodies over the decades. Both have maintained the original theme in such a way that it's always recognizable while being quite unique. Here is a list of all 25 artists that have recorded the James Bond theme starting in 1962, a year before I was born: 1962 Dr. No - James Bond Theme - Composed by Monty Norman, arranged by John Barry 1963 James Bond Theme John Barry Orchestra (From Russia With Love Matt Monro) 1964 Goldfinger Shirley Bassey 1965 Thunderball Tom Jones 1967 You Only Live Twice Nancy Sinatra 1969 We Have All The Time in the World Louis Armstrong 1971 Diamonds are Forever Shirley Bassey 1973 Live and Let Die Paul McCartney & Wings 1975 The Man With The Golden Gun Lulu 1977 Nobody Does It Better Carly Simon 1979 Moonraker Shirley Basseyn 1981 For Your Eyes Only Sheena Easton 1983 All Time High Rita Coolidge 1985 A View To A Kill Duran Duran 1987 The Living Daylights A-ha 1989 License To Kill Gladys Knight 1995 GoldenEye Tina Turner 1997 Tomorrow Never Dies Sheryl Crow 1999 The World Is Not Enough Garbage 2002 Die Another Day Madonna 2006 You Know My Name Chris Cornell 2008 Another Way To Die Alicia Keys & Jack White 2012 Skyfall Adele 2015 Writing's On The Wall Sam Smith 2020 No Time To Die Billie Eilish And while we did a version of Billie Eilish "No Time To Die" and I have done a version of Chris Cornell's "You know my name" (as did Gabriela), Gabriela took her stab at Skyfall!

I Feel Like A Woman - Cover - Giusy Ferrigno - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy OK, OK, OK! For all of my hard-core rock fans out there, I know what you're thinking! You're not really gonna sing Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" !?! But when Giusy came to me and showed me her version, I couldn't resist, and let her go for it. In fact, in many ways, I personally like it better than the original! And after all, to all of my 80s metal heads and 70s rock friends out there, let's not forget that Mutt Lang (AC/DC - Def Leppard) produced this track! Man! Let's do this!

In this video, I give you some great daily warm-up exercises to help you on your singing journey! Bookmark this video so you can refer to it often! Awesome Daily Vocal Warm Ups - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I can't tell you how many times I get people who ask me if they could get more and more difficult singing exercises (as tough more difficult exercises were supposed to make you a better singer). This concept is wrongheaded for many reasons. My first instrument is guitar. I know pretty much every scale imaginable, and could easily dole out those scales like candy. But will singing every scale imaginable make me a better singer? Certainly not if I'm singing those scales incorrectly. And the more difficult the scale, the more the person needs the basic building blocks necessary to hold up those scales or have the strength and stamina to sing them. The most important thing we can do with our warm-ups is to have simple scales first that embed good muscle-memory for Open Throat Technique and the correct shaping of vowels. In this video, I walk you through some non-negotiable basics for singing that must be grasped first, in order to move on to the next level of more difficult exercises for agility and range. Doing these warm-ups correctly, daily, will establish the correct muscle-memory, strength, and stamina to build a strong singing voice. Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy – Where The PROOF Is In The Singing!

This video is a cover performance of what I think is one of Ronnie James Dio's most ROCKIN' SONGS! NEON KNIGHTS from when Ronnie did his time with Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath - Ronnie James Dio - Neon Knights - Cover - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Let's face it, singing anything by Dio is extraordinarily challenging, especially if you're trying to sound like Dio. I have done vocal demonstrations of several of his songs over the years, including a medley I put together that was pretty tough. And as some of you probably know, I do many of these by request. And this request was "Ken, can you sing Black Sabbath's "Neon Knights" Ronnie James Dio version?" And of course, in usual fashion, I said "challenge accepted"! One of the most challenging parts of singing this song was actually the bridge, because I sang the verse a little too hard at first and realized I still had higher notes to sing. So pacing this song became very important, which is one part of what I teach in my singing course. So I give to you Black Sabbath's "Neon Knights".

Kati Cher takes on Don't Speak by No Doubt. No doubt you're going to want to play this again and again. So Don't Speak, just PLAY IT! No Doubt - Don't Speak - Cover - Kati Cher - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I've been wanting to cover this song for quite some time. And I just kept it on the back burner, waiting for the right KTVA vocalist to step up to the plate to take it on. So I was pleasantly surprised when Kati Cher brought it to me and said she wanted to do it on the last master class sessions we did together at my studio. Oftentimes I am surprised at songs that seem "easy", and how they can be considerably more challenging than expected. But Kati did it with flying colors! No, really!

In this video, we talk about how to get killer vocal tone that will actually help to GROW your voice! Check it out! How To Get Good Vocal Tone - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Many would argue "What is good vocal tone?" Let me tell you what my definition would be and see if you agree with me or not. First off, I think good vocal tone should include a uniqueness, a signature of the person singing. I don't believe good vocal tone should be bland or unengaging. With that said, that doesn't mean good vocal tone always needs to be loud, bright, distorted, have crazy range, and so forth. If you take Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Steve Perry, Sam Cooke, Aaron Neville, Barry White, etc... The warm, silky, velvet-like texture to their voice is their signature sound, and it enjoys very seductive, romantic, intimate, warm tones that few singers can execute or deliver. But I also wanted to discuss what many consider to be great vocal tone. And that is the concept of distorting the voice or having a raspiness to the sound that also showcases character and uniqueness. These are two polar opposite extremes. However, in this video I discuss that the key is to understand how to develop good open throat technique with a nice, bright "ping" in their sound (Bel Canto refers to this as "Chiaroscuro", the use of strong contrasts between light and dark color in the voice, or literally "Brightness/Clarity" in the center, with warmth around the sound). I believe this should be the ultimate goal for any singer looking to sing with diversity. And while these names I mentioned, such as Luther Vandross, Sam Cooke, etc. are incredible R&B singers, they would not really be able to attain a bright, big operatic sound, or a rock belting sound from that approach to singing. Whereas someone that learns good powerful open throat technique with the approach of Chiaroscuro would definitely be able to add air and warmth to their sound while maintaining brightness and clarity, and sing in both styles as desired. I explain this in more depth in this video and copiously explain and demonstrate this in my singing course. Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy – Where The PROOF Is In The Singing! Learn To Sing Like This!

In this video, we have another Ken Tamplin and Luis Villegas Flamenco version of Waiting For A Girl Like You. Now you get to enjoy it in new ways and styles! Waiting For A Girl Like You - Flamenco Cover - Ken Tamplin and Luis Villegas This is our second release of this series of doing classic covers in the style of nuevo flamenco. While maintaining the integrity of the original song, I thought it would be fun to add a classical guitar/flamenco element to it so that I can contribute something new to this song, and make the song fresh for me again. Some of you know that guitar is my first instrument, before learning to sing. So, I partnered with my buddy Luis Villegas. We will be doing quite a few of these moving forward, even if it's only for personal guitar gratification :-) I hope you guys like it as much as I enjoy doing it, even if it's only for 100 of my close personal friends. :-) Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy – Where The PROOF Is In The Singing!

When you sing, do you sound too nasally? Watch this and find out why and what to do to fix it! Fix Nasal Voice - Improve Vocal Tone - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Many people have no idea how to fix the nasally sound that they have in their voice. And most of the time, the higher up they go in their range, the more nasally they become, and the more shrill their voices sound. Obviously this is not the most pleasant sound, but I want to remind us of one very important factor. Many many famous singers have stamped their signature with the sound of nasality, such as: Donna Summer Celine Dion Stevie Wonder (to some extent) Klaus Meine (to some extent) Lou Gramm (to some extent) Rihanna (to some extent) Miley Cyrus (to some extent) Bob Dylan And the list goes on. Does this mean that all singing with nasality is wrong? To some it is a matter of taste while to others it can be annoying and undesirable. In addition, oftentimes with vocal coaches, nasality gets confused with mask, and mask with nasality. While there may be some overlap, mask is different than nasality, and nasality is different than mask, which I identify and explain in this video. While both mask and nasality can allow a person to pare down a belted sound in their upper register, nasality actually inhibits range farther up the scale, while mask allows for freedom in the upper registers, once open throat technique is established. So if this is of interest to you, come along for a ride and learn how to fix your nasal-sounding voice and improve your vocal tone. Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy – Where The PROOF Is In The Singing!

In this video, I demonstrate the awesome distortion vocal sound used by the great Chris Cornell on Cochise and Show Me How To Live! Check it Out! Chris Cornell Medley - Cochise - Show Me How To Live 4K - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I must say that I personally hold the view that the most powerful rock singer in modern times beyond the 80s metal era, starting with the 90s grunge era, would have to be Chris Cornell. Yes, of course, there were Layne Staley and Scott Weiland (and so on), but I personally hold the view that Chris was on top of the mountain. And for that reason, here at Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, we do not shy away from the difficult. In fact, we embrace it to see how well we can stack up against it with the technique that I teach in my academy. And to be candid, we are not seeing any other singing schools with this approach, demonstrating song after song after song with my voice, and my students' voices, proving out our method. So we welcome challenging pieces and are always up for it, and we display it with our voices without reservation. It's really the only way we can prove what is real and what isn't. And speaking of Chris, wow! I know we have covered several of his songs between myself, Gabriela, Kati, Kayla, etc.., and I look forward to embracing as many Chris Cornell songs as we can, as he has quite an extensive and difficult catalog of music to sing.

In this video, Gabriela asks the question: WHO ARE YOU? Metallica or Miley? Which One are You? Pop Vs Rock - Gabriela Gunčíková - Metallica Vs Miley - Who Are You - 4K - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Gabriela and I thought it would be fun to have a high contrasting video, taking someone that is extremely well-known in the pop world and a band that is extremely well-known in the rock world, and pit them against each other in a funny video where "the character" (which is Gabby) could play both roles. And we could even make fun of ourselves in the process, in a light-hearted way. So in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way, we are asking people who they would rather be? Metallica or Miley? In some ways, we are looking to draw a line in the sand. But many people like both and do not choose sides. But I think something that is interesting is that over the past few years, Miley has become more like Metallica than Metallica has become like Miley :-) (the power of Metal! Ha ha ha!). We hope you like our satire as much as we enjoyed doing it :-) You can follow Gabriela here: Website: http://gabrielaguncikova.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabrielagun...

In this singing tutorial, we will learn about how to hold long singing notes. Watch this video and learn more! How To Hold Long Notes - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy How many times have you heard the expression "Wow, they have a big set of lungs" when referring to people singing/holding a long note or singing with a big robust sound? The funny thing is that the term "big set of lungs" is not really the best way to describe it. Let me explain. While the lungs certainly do play a significant role in singing (of course), it's actually more about the ability to control the air in the lung and to use the abdominal cavity combined with your upper and lower diaphragms. It brings support and strengthens the ability to pace, manage, and compress air correctly. In this video, I discuss some of the fundamentals of this process. I have an entire section on this in my singing course for those that are interested. I hope this video is beneficial to you and helps you on your singing journey.

For all of YOU, in honor of Valentine's Day, I have a little Daddy-Daughter performance of an appropriate song that we could all use a little more of... Jackie DeShannon's Put A Little Love In Your Heart! Put A Little Love In Your Heart - Jackie DeShannon - Cover - Ken Tamplin and Indy (Tamplin) Salter My beautiful sweet daughter Indy came to me and asked if we could do a duet together. She suggested a song I had done many years ago called "Put A Little Love In Your Heart " (Jackie DeShannon's song, but the Annie Lennox & Al Green version). When my daughter was growing up, she was a killer guitar player and a pretty strong vocalist that decided that she liked surfing better. So she became a surfing champion at her school and then went on into professional Salsa instruction. She is 29 years old now and has decided that she wanted to reach back, do a song with me, and re-hone her singing skills. This is the first time we have done anything together musically since she was about 15 years old (about 14 years!). So we thought it would be fun to do "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" and share that with all of you on this Valentine's Day :-) There is nothing more rewarding for me as a father than to get to see my daughter flourish and for us to share something amazing in common, which is music. So on behalf of Indy and I, we hope you enjoy our first song together in many years, and hopefully, many more to come :-) Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy – Where The PROOF Is In The Singing!
