Belting Techniques - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy

[@29117600]

Sir you are great vocalist and teacher . Greetings from India ..I am Puneet ..have been following you since long

[@kentamplin]

Thank you, Puneet!

[@cochu006g]

Have you improve your vocals after years?

[@havilinhargraves9122]

I'm learning to sing, and what I've seen online is kinda strange. Most vocal teachers promise instant results and say this or that about who they've trained, but none of it is really believable. Ken says this will take a long time, he has videos of him putting his money where his mouth is, and shows some of his students. This is probably the most reliable channel to try and learn to sing from, because it's not a "perfect drug" style of teaching. Thanks Ken.

[@kentamplin]

Austin- No perfect drug, just perfect practice.

[@Torgtorgtorg]

You are so awesome! When I started singing I had a terrible voice, but some kind of magic happened and now I can sing very well! Thank you so much

That is really great to hear, Spidey! I really like hearing things like that!

I'm not saying this as a diss to any other vocal coaches on KZbin, but I must say that Ken is the only teacher on here that I really trust. All of the techniques of his that I've tried have worked. I can't say enough things about this guy! Incredible singer and fantastic teacher!!! Keep up the great videos!

Ken I just want to thank you again for being such an awesome vocal coach to me..... My vocals have gone from pretty good to great!.... The things I sing today blow my mind that I'm able to do it and it's all because of your techniques that I learned.... please talk about your cousin Sammy more... I think he has one of the best voices I've ever heard... I'd be very interested to hear how it came to be that great

[@kentamplin]

That's a wonderful report, Brice! Thanks for letting me know, and for your suggestions.

[@motivationforyou6097]

is it possible to learn singing from books? Do you have favourite books about singing?

[@maxxjackson8521]

I'm frickin' buying this course ASAP. This guy is the best.

[@YassineKAK]

Belting is a really cool sound when used in the right songs! But I think that going to high notes whithout shouting and while maintaining good cord closure (without breaks) is way more difficult...may be, if you have the time, you could make a video about the opposit if belting, I don't know exactly what it's called, mezzo voce I guess I'm not sure...all I know is that it's really not easy.

[@lvnr]

Well said. Thank you for the great tip. I'm still trying to train my muscle memory to correctly belt.Sometime I could do it flawlessly sometime I don't. Depend on the vocal warmups.lol. Anyway.. Thanks for all the tip ken. You're a great person.

David Gerardi Thank you!

[@danielgagne369]

So much truth. One thing I have experienced over the years of hobby singing is how I went from pretty much screaming in which my voice was gone in a song or 2 to hearing my voice almost belt the sound out for me - it's almost spooky sometimes. Unlike you, I haven't been able to put it to words, but things like opening my throat for resonance, using less air during held notes rather than more, and muscle memory seem to be happening. Over the years, I have found that I have been able to go from holding a note for a few seconds to 8 - 10 seconds or more. I always assumed it was from having more air to dispel, but as you say, it is from controlling the air and letting out very little during sustained notes that allows me to hold them longer and longer. It's amazing what happens sometimes when you work hard at something, but don't really know exactly what is going on. Somehow, I'm pretty sure that your guidance has helped me become a better singer since I discovered your channel some 6 months to a year ago. I always thought that I couldn't do any kind of rock singing because I didn't have the voice and the range, but apparently it was because I was "trying too hard" if that makes sense. First you taught me to relax, open wide, and let it happen. It's weird at first, as the sound of my singing seemed a bit off, but over time it becomes part of your singing style and it sounds better than I originally thought I did. Thanks for all the guidance, and keep up the great work! Love your channel!

[@kentamplin]

Would love to get your course someday. Unfortunately can't afford it at the moment, but I will definitely keep watching these videos, they're a huge help to me and my voice!

[@Steveh112]

Are you subscribed to Ken's email list? He's having a Black Friday sale, $50 off that ends midnight on Friday so that would bring the price down to as low as $179. I've been wanting to take the course since I discovered Ken almost a year ago, but could never afford it either. But this $50 off puts it into the marginally affordable range and I might actually go for it this time. I hope you can too. Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving!

[@SteveMingsFlutemaker]

i have a small question but one that is I think importain. Singing from the back of your throat as you were mentioning. Here is My difficuly, i can belt, but I have a lirttle bit of a slow learning process and speech some times when I'm just talking, not the best speaker and I have a Speech issue where when I'm talking some people that already know me and stuff they can understand me. When i was a child I did not have a very strong voice, Infact my voice was very weak then. but My voice is stronger but when I do talk, My voice sounds as ifI'm dtrrunk or some thing and some times slur words. Maybe it isMy accent, because I'm from Louisville Kentucky, but I don't even sound like a Kentuckian. I'm mixed, German, Irish, Scottish, and Native American all combined. I could demostrate My voice just talking, which in some of My videos on My flute making channel which I'm commenting from, you can also hear from when I'm taking explaining what I'm doing in making flutes. or playing them. Any suggestions or advice that could help My situation?

[@JOHNKUHNMUSIC]

Man..wouldnt it be killer if we teeniors could hook up an air comp in thru the wazzoo?I could use about 80 PSI at times..LOL Youve touched on this in other videos so Id already been workin on ab strength and compin air.

Hey Ken, i know this is a bit off topic but, do you happen to know and have you heard Avenged Sevenfold? And if you do, what are your thoughts on Matt Shadows technique? Is he a goold belter? Does he seem to know what he's doing with distorting his voice? I ask this cause i really like the way he sounds, but not sure if his sound is one i should be looking for

[@kentamplin]

I know Matt Sanders. We used to live next to each other in Orange County. Matt has lost his voice many times and now has adifficult time singing clean and on pitch. While Matt and I studied under the same well known coach in LA (I have studied under many) he has had a tough time holding on to scream.

[@jayp5146]

Ohhh you know him, cool. is he a cool guy? :D Ive actually learned recently how to scream, and boy is it fun, but as ive heard from many people its bad for your voice, ive only been doing like a handful of screams just to get a grip of the technique, doing the bare minimum effort to actually produce the volume on the scream, and so far so good, but i can see how the amount of air can really dry the folds and mess things up. Is there a safe way to scream? Is it like distortion but harder? Or is it a different beast entirely? PS: Can´t thank you enough for everything you´ve done...really, you would be reading this all day :)

[@krishnaalenchery]

[@ThisFace]

Ken! I have some mildly serious question. I DON'T HAVE PROPER PLACE TO PRACTICE VOCAL! I'm in south korea, which is pretty small country. I live in apartment, obviously practicing in house is impossible since if I do, I'll get into lawsuits. We have tons of Karaokes, but it's not a good place to practice vocal since the place isn't properly set for it. Now, the best choice would be move to another place, or sign for vocal lesson, which costs quite a lot, but has proper place to practice. So...What should I do? Should I go sign up?

[@thetechnocrat6388]

I feel bad for ya. I live in India in my own house with parents and im almost 15. I can sing as bad or good or loud as i want in my own rooom. My suggestion would be to ask ur parents to add soundproof doors and windows. Or u can sing during the day

[@marcelroodt]

Hey Ken! Through your videos I've been learning and developing my voice for years! I'm so amazed at the progress your material has allowed me to reach (and this is coming from someone who's never been able to sing before - hard work pays off!) Would you say it's healthy to experiment with the feeling in your throat if your muscles get sore or exhausted while belting? I never go hoarse at all, and can keep it up for 2-3 hours a day at times, so I figure it's not too damaging to my voice itself. I'm just not sure whether comfort in belting higher will come from working the muscles that support my voice, or whether I just need to refine my technique (maybe a bit of both). Cheers from South Africa! You're awesome!

[@kentamplin]

Comfort and ease comes from applying ALL of the techniques of proper singing. If you don't have my course, then you are missing some of the important elements that combine to take your voice to those higher register places. Not only do you need to know those techniques, you have to work them regularly over a period of time for the voice to be able to develop to that extent.

What's with the tounge? Is that a habit?

[@kentamplin]

Dedek Upil This is the most relaxed position of Open Throat Technique. First you train the tongue flat to the base of the mandible, then concave to the jaw, then in it's most relaxed state it will protrude away from the back of the throat creating maximum space in the back of the throat for perfect vocal tract shaping (as well as using it in place of hard consonants and glottal stops which become problematic and constrictive especially in hard rock singing).
