Aerosmith - Steven Tyler - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing - Isolated Vocals - Analysis and Tutorial

[@avagdux]

All of those "imperfections" are what make his singing so great. He has a style of his own that just works perfectly for the songs.

[@kentamplin]

No argument from me.

[@kensteckelberg7013]

Amen!

[@sipenarekbecha7193]

yup, imperfect imperfection perfect 🤗

@@kentamplin hi ken , could you do a George Michael isolated vocal video , I am enjoying these videos..thanks

[@luvjasmin]

@Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy ... Hi there. Love these videos. Have you or could you do Paul Rogers of Bad Company? Would be awesome!

[@DM-yi1ur]

Steven's voice is so Immortal like everybody else easily recognizes it whenever they hear a song.

[@kentamplin]

Rock on!

[@SecretSquirrel809]

I’ve seen him live 3 times and never disappoints, one of the only bands I’ve seen who sound as good live as the album recording, I doubt there will ever be another as good as him.

[@OldBones33]

Steven has amazing character in his tone. It overshadows most of the technical flaws of which you speak. Overall, his voice is very easy to listen to. Especially compared to so many of the more polished singers, who are frankly quite forgettable. I've just started listening to your videos over the last few weeks. The detail you cover in vocalizing and production is great. One thing in this video that you do which is cool, is to replay the phrase that you just explained before going on to the next sample. I play guitar and drums. Now at 60, I've begun my journey with singing lessons. A bit overwhelming at this point(6 months), but really fun too. I have an awesome teacher, and that makes all the difference. Thanks Ken.. Rock On !!

[@nataliaacevedo4804]

He's a very exclusive. Authentic interpreter. You can't just analyze his interpretation without considering his whole body communicating exactly what he"s feeling and vocalizing as well. He's in another level. I just love him 💕

[@highmtnx]

I really like this Isolated Vocals video format. These are great to chill out with and really enjoy the style of the artists, the sound and qualities of their voices, and your insights into all the details!

Are these paid comments? Because I see multiple comments basically written the same. Lme

[@kentamplin]

​@@footlongfabo No, no one gets paid. They're just insightful comments written by thinking individuals. Unfortunately, not all comments are equal. On another note, if you're speaking of MY comments, I answer nearly EVERY SINGLE COMMENT to acknowledge that I've read it. Show me another KZbinr, with nearly a million subscribers, that does that. It's almost always a cursory acknowledgement as I have hundreds and hundreds of comments to process each day. My forum is the place to address specific singing topics. Myself, moderators and students all weigh in there. I'm sorry you feel you need extra attention in the comment section of a video, I do the best I can.

[@sensitivity7207]

I would say that his crying and cracking voice is something that makes him very specific singer. I like all imperfections he does but yes, you are right, he yodels very often ;)

[@SombhooG-xd4bq]

great video Ken!! Loved the honest analysis

[@ablejutv4277]

For me steven tyler is an ART singer! The best vocal ever Unique expressing techinique.

[@kentamplin]

👍💜😀

[@scottm8845]

Steven didn't always sound like he does today !!! To me... He is living proof of vocal progression to a new place and time !!! Amazing drive and talent !!

[@debrajensen526]

Don’t get sick of me, ok lol, but this was a riot! I don’t sleep so well sometimes and I watched this one at 3:00 am this morning. You had me laughing all the way through it! And your detective skills are incredibly sharp to boot! I lost it when you imitated all the faces he made in the one part of the song (16:02). It was hysterical! You are very fortunate that you have such wonderful gifts. You are blessed! Thanks for sharing 😊💗 Oh, I do have to say that Steven’s style is endearing to we rock fans as Aerosmith is affectionately known as “America’s Rock Band”, and that raspy voice has earned him his wings! 😀💸

[@kentamplin]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MaryTWells]

Steven’s voice has improved with age. I love his voice period and his style. I have loved him since I was a teenager. Isolating his vocals just makes me love him more. He puts on an amazing concert.

[@kentamplin]

👍💜😀

[@scottm8845]

Absolutely !!!

[@mytwocents4891]

Lmao Ken !, from 16.08 kiss my eyes section. What a hoot but shows how into his singing character Tyler is and to pull the character off naturally gets him great results.

[@ricklove8588]

All of those things you say you do not like about his vocals are true technically but as a artist he is making a song his own making him stand out as a artist and what made him him IMO

[@GreggBB]

I like that he goes for feeling over technical perfection, as well as having such a distinctive voice and he leaves it all out there after a performance. Loved hearing your breakdown of him, thank you very much

[@kentamplin]

Absolutely, Gregg!

[@raffaellavercesi9401]

He's amazing with no music... best voice ever

[@aleksg1296]

I have to say that you've been a huge influence on me. In the summer I started learning to sing. I started progressing little by little using your free tutorials. After months of saving up, I'm finally enrolled in the course. Of course like everyone, I'm struggling right now trying to figure our the support mechanism, open throat and the ping. But I'm determined to do whatever it takes. Singing and music is my life. Thanks for everything you do!

[@kentamplin]

That is awesome, Aleks! Just keep at it!

[@luciolojr]

I personally love Steven Tyler's voice...and style. wish I had this much style. Aerosmith is definitely one of my top 5 rock bands. Once again you give us the best vocal analysis.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for the visit, Luciolo!

[@michellespencer8838]

And as said all this is steven hes never claimed to be perfect love ya ken

[@kentamplin]

Rock on!

[@michaelmitchell1772]

Steven Tyler is one of my favorite singers, but watching you do the "lip thing" while he was singing was the hardest I've laughed in a long time. Thanks Ken, for helping us all with our crippling pandemic depression as well as our singing.

[@419FishinandPowderCoating]

I been listening to Aerosmith for almost 40 years. He sounds just as good now in his 70s.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love this isolated vocals format! Steven Tyler is a legend!

[@kentamplin]

He certainly is, Tyler!

[@elizabethpierre5103]

I love your shirt!!! As usual 😘 may God bless you and all your family and friends I'll keep you all in my deepest prayers

[@latortugapicante719]

Isn’t it wild that Steven was in his 50s when this was recorded. Even though he might have improper technique he sung like that for 40 years without having to have surgery and touring more than just about any other band. Amazing!

[@jeffschielka7845]

Well said!

[@kentamplin]

La Tortuga Picante 👍

[@Rockenstein68]

Can you imagine how good the surgeon is that worked on these artists., maybe a billion dollars worth of vocal chords.

[@aldenunion]

What did he have done? Some type of scarring on his vocal cords, nodules,polyps? That is scary thought for a vocalist,look what happened to Julie Andrews. She was fantastic soprano and endured botched surgical procedure that changed her life for ever.. Such a shame.

[@axltyler]

Ken, I must comment! I don't comment too often! First, I didn't know Sammy Hagar was your cousin! Very cool! Awesome! I love Sammy Hagar's voice! Love it! Steven Tyler is my biggest singing influence, which may or may not be the best model to be influenced by because of the vocal harm he's done to himself, however, the things that you subtract from his voice that you personally don't care for, I love. Those little vocal pinches, those blasted falsettos, non-modal, almost death metal falsetto screams of his, those are part of the signature characteristics that make his voice iconic and immediately identifiable.

[@kentamplin]

Sam is great!

[@jackv9755]

Steven is a one of a kind rock singer, and I think he did everything for his Art so no analític wanabe star singer would understand what is the meaning o singing not just with VOICE but soul

[@DD-hy1nl]

I love Steven's voice, he sounds great, even without backup music behind him..And one more thing, he still can rock that voice of his at his age! He's in his early 70's and he still can belt out his voice like no tomorrow. God bless him, anyone that can sing would be blessed to still have a great voice like Steven at his age. That man can still scream out a tune without failing...So that's my two cents about Steven Tyler...Real name Steven Victor Tallarico, that Italian man can sing! Bello!

[@kentamplin]

😊Thanks for listening!

[@angelmoore2453]

Yep, Italian men are the best!

[@theonlyredspecial]

Now that’s a singer and a half. Tyler really is a rock legend if ever there was one. Thanks Ken. Some funny points and interesting analysis and your education on his weaknesses was very interesting ! Always speak the truth I like it.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for listening!

Steven inspires me to sing with more "character". Furthermore, it makes me want to be more adventurous and courageous and go for things that may sound hideous by themselves but sound great in the context of the track.

I remember when my brother brought home the album Toys in the Attic, it was so different. But then he brought home Pink Floyd's Dark side of the Moon. OH MY! Our dad worked for Magnavox and we had a top of the line stereo and headphones and I was blown away. Vinyl was amazing! Thanks for sharing our generation of music. (And yes it makes me crazy hearing the squawks and the "wichu" takes me right back to my vocal teacher beating that into our heads..."with you!"...lol)

[@kentamplin]

Sounds like a great memory, Maureen!

[@Haazoo]

Great analysis. I've been to a few Aerosmith concerts and I can honestly say that Steven (and the band) never phone it in. He always leaves it out there. You always leave the concert with your mind blown.

[@kentamplin]

Rock on!

[@MaryTWells]

Agree, the most amazing concerts.

[@DebbieCA]

I enjoyed watching you critique Steven Tyler. It’s crazy how much there goes into singing, saving your vocal cords, breaths and so many terms and techniques. Ken, I’m a lousy singer. I don’t think there’s any hope for me but I’ll check your free demonstrations for the hell of it. Wish me luck!

Most useful isolated voice ever. Especially for me. Because this song I study and exercise entire last month. Daily. For next year on the stage performance. Most hard is for me part 23:56 - 23:58. This part will necessary exercises much intensive than others parts. Even highest notes not so hard a like this 2 seconds. Thanks Ken.....👍👍👍

[@kentamplin]

So glad it was helpful, Ken!

[@perryaragon]

Steven Tyler is by far my most favorite vocalist, because of his signature Whining vocals he uses at the end of his vocal lines. He is one of the most original sounding vocals I have ever heard. With his rockstar image, Original signature voice, Amazing stage performances makes him a legend and he will always be the best vocalist of all time with amazing history Of great hits! I love everything about his greatness I would never change a thing he does!

And I just want to thank the LORD for the nice treat of coming across your videos which I know they been a big help for my singing and He knows how much I delight in His presence.

So helpful and informative on multiple levels. My brain is full from this! Plus I love the casual way you share your take. I got lost a little when you detailed the brightness of the original recording versus this one (thick and tubby reverb issue) but that's my bad. Will have to relisten.

Steven is so unique, and I personally don't care about the imperfections in his singing, he's just the one and only Steven Tyler. I love his style and voice so much.

[@ABTSAPOSTOLICVOICE]

Wonderful analysis..U are best Trainer

[@kentamplin]

Thank you, ABTS APOSTOLIC VOICE!

[@danriley5848]

Stephen is a legend and he has a great real soul to his voice, definitely one of my favorite vocalists ever. I saw Aerosmith in the early 80's at the height of his heroin addiction and he could barely stand on the stage yet his vocals were amazing. 👍✌

[@gabrielestanga]

I actually think the scream you pointed out sounds amazing, I can do that note but try as I may I'll never be able to make it sound like that. It's just so unique that it doesn't get any better than this.

[@albertopozzi9908]

If I may, respectfully, about reverbs: When you listen to isolated vocal tracks, you don't have all the buss and master compression, limiting and eq, so the reverb seems smaller, less present. Reverbs are always cut below say 100-150 Hz to eliminate unwanted low resonations. Echo, delay and pitch fx are cut even heavier on the lows and on highs.

[@johnchappell5477]

Music can be very complicated in my opinion. There are thousands of different perspectives when it comes to music and that's what makes it interesting for me. Only a few artists have had the ability to really connect to its listener on the deepest levels and to move people emotionally through there life. Micheal Jackson, led Zeppelin, Bob Marley,Nirvana just to name a few. They just didn't show up but they changed the world and that's powerful..thanks
