FREDDIE MERCURY Medley - Learn To Sing In Freddie's Style And Range - Lessons From Ken Tamplin

[@kentamplin]

Regarding my "How To Sing Like"People say "series. People say you should't try to sound like someone else. Be yourself!I And I say - Absolutely! No one should "clone" anyone. But we all have influences and it's THOSE influences that start our fire and inspire us to sing to begin with. And it is the sum of those influences, and how we "re-present" them with our own touch and style that makes us great. The more influences you have, the more you will have in your "singing tool box" to work with. In all of my "How To Sing Like" videos, I still sound like Ken Tamplin, but I have a flavor of the artist and is meant to demonstrate how their "style" can be achieved safely in the wake of either the original artist losing their voice, or those that try to imitate them, This showcases range, vocal timber and style for different color and flavors for diverse singing.

+Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Hi! I want to sing, but I can´t manage my throat to open up :( I sing with my stomach, but when I trie to sing "FUULLL" out loud, it´s only my throat and I sound like a sucker...what is it I doing wrong ? And...Why aren´t you singing with a band with that voice ? You can almost "choose" you band with that voice !! Cheers

[@kentamplin]

+Belseful I cover this in my singing course. You need to learn good open throat technique. Keeping the back of the throat open when you sing with strong diaphragmatic support. This is where to start. You can check out my curse at KenTamplinVocalAcademy.com

[@kentamplin]

+Tanner Sandell Hi Tanner. Good post. Let's be very clear about something. Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest singing performers of all time - Period. I have seen him live many many times over the years. I want to separate Live performances from studio performances. The fact is, the studio recording of Innuendo and The Show Must Go On is actually some of his greatest work from a singing standpoint. Towards the very end you actually heard Freddie manage his voice better than any other time in his career, even under illness. A majority of his career, about the middle to three quarters of the way through, Freddy often lost his voice live, Took shortcuts for high notes and had audiences singing choruses for him. Not that he's expected to be perfect, but conditioning his voice through the process of this would have minimized or eliminated this altogether. Thanks for your post.

[@WinnerWinnerEmmaDinner]

+Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Well said!

[@hirkkammett4361]

Can you teach us how to sing like nate ruess

[@punkpop102]

Stop it with the comments not sounding like the original singers. He is demonstrating their techniques not making an impression. Every human voice on earth has different amounts of hamrmonics,overtones and formants so it's impossible for one singer to siund like another one 100%. Ken is a master at his job probably one of the best vocal coaches on earth.

[@Thaerii]

Exactly. I find this a lot more respectful than those imitators too, it's more of a "how to be inspired by" than "how to imitate" :)

[@JeyPiano]

This is even pretty amazing. He is really good vocalist!

[@Camille-rb4ge]

Yes I was about to comment that he didnt sound the same as Freddie he was just trying to teach the techniques and ways of hitting those notes Freddie hit.

[@shredgod6394]

Rob Goulet Everyone knows. But his sound is natural. It’s not a voice impression. He imitates Freddie’s style with a voice that already sounds like freddie

[@ericpierre53]

I see this more as a Fantastic Singer singing his own interpretation of these famous Queen songs. Freddie had a bit more growl and raw emotion in his voice. With that said, fantastic demonstration. I hate it when people say no one should be allowed to sing Queen because they'll never be as good. Bullshit. Sing whatever you want. Who cares if your better or worse. I like singing Queen. I have the range for it, so I'll sing it. As simple as that. If people ever call me out for trying to capture some of the spirit of my idol, I'll just tell them to piss off. I know I'll never be as good, it's not the point. The point is having a good time and entertaining the folk watching you.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for your open-minded comment, ericpierre53. I have nothing but admiration for Freddie's voice and the incredible impact he had on music during his lifetime. I also highly encourage others to follow in his footsteps and sing his great musical masterpieces, knowing that there will always only be one Freddie Mercury. Imitation is the highest form of praise. While I prefer to emulate, rather than imitate, I think we honor Freddie by keeping his music alive on the live stage, in our performances and our repertoire, and our recordings and videos. We've lost too many of our vocal heroes. Let's keep their memories alive.

[@Akirilus]

Pretty much.

Thanks, Pux. What many do not realize is that I had pnuemonia when I recorded this, so it's not my best. I just had the studio time booked and never let illness stop me from a performance. I'm just wired that way.

[@EdoSynysterfan]

What i meant is people say you're trying to imitate Freddie's voice or take his place (clearly can see this in top comments) , but the title is clear: you want to teach the style Freddie adopted in his songs. Keep up the good work.

[@1rivia]

I think that Fred had a softer voice but strong at the same time, this is why is so difficult to sing like him and I realize he had an opera intention when singing, because he was simply crazy about opera!

[@kentamplin]

Regarding My How To Sing Like... Series: People say "I want to sound like me and not anyone else." And I say - Absolutely! No one should "clone" anyone. But we all have influences, and it is the sum of those influences, and how we "re-present" them with our own style that makes us great. Learning a difficult cover song where the bar is set high, is an excellent grading scale to see how well our technique is working. This is also true for learning different styles as this increases our vocabulary for diverse singing and helps us find our own unique voice. In my "How To Sing Like" videos, I still sound like Ken Tamplin, but seek to show you how to sing in their "style" safely.

[@hashtaghead9267]

Show Must Go On is one of Freddie's greatest performances and it's at the end of his career. I didn't realise he had nodules on his vocal chords by that time!

[@kentamplin]

Freddie did such an incredible job, despite the enormous challenges he faced at that time. He was heroic and gave his all.

[@nicann8038]

I just found your channel, Ken, and I’m loving it! I think you did a great job with Freddie and I am VERY defensive about my ♥️. 😂. Ken, you probably know this but there were a few amazing parts of his anatomy that God gifted him with in order to make his spectacular voice out of this world!!! Freddie had a 4 octave vocal range Freddie’s natural voice is baritone but, he could very easily switch to tenor (which he had to do for MANY of Queen’s songs. The typical vibrato is between 4.5-6.9 hertz (I’m pretty sure) and Freddie’s is 7.04 He had an “irregular” vibrato He had four extra incisors (hence, his large mouth) Possibly the most amazing - he is able to use “subharmonics”. We are all born with vocal chords and ventricular folds in our throat. Most of us are unable to utilize our ventricular folds (they went the way of the appendix and the gall bladder - we no longer need them but, the body still produces them). Certain people can access those chords. Think Tibetan monk chants. They were most likely taught through the generations how to access them but, I’m pretty sure Freddie just came out of his mama with the ability to use them! Anyway, someone may already put these tidbits in the comments but, if not, enjoy your new Freddie trivia. When people say he was more than a real mortal well, perhaps he was!!! ♥️♥️♥️

This is a cool tribute to one of the greatest rock singers of all time! What a tough act to follow! There will never be another Freddie Mercury, but Ken does a wonderful job of singing Freddie's songs in the style that they were meant to be sung in, with style, energy, and a lot of respect for Freddie! You can learn to sing the toughest songs in all of rock like these with Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy methods.

That's pretty good, Ken. No one is going to be able to nail someone else down perfectly, and I don't think that's your goal. There is always going to be little things here and there, but after watching several videos you did, I see what you are trying to do and people need to understand the context of your lessons and use your tips and lessons as a foundation for finding their own sound.

[@nell1593]

Freddie’s a legend. And the person singing in the video has done better then quite a few (lot) people I’ve heard and there saying there the best and sound like Freddie. But no one can sound like Freddie. He was/is the king 👑

[@kentamplin]

True, Nell. Freddie was the only Freddie Mercury, and nobody can beat him at that. Even people who imitate him well, and maybe even look a bit like him will never be equal to him. I had pnuemonia when this was recorded, but that's no excuse. I still wouldn't be Freddie. My video is to show that his songs are not untouchable. We honor Freddie by keeping his music alive and by encouraging others to keep on singing it. You don't have to pretend to BE him. We should ALL sing along to Freddie's songs or re-present them in his honor.

[@kentamplin]

Is There Really Such Thing As "Stress Free Singing"? I see many vocal coaches (and their students) promoting the idea that "there should be no stress while singing" and therefore frustrating the heck out of singers who think there is "something wrong with themselves" because they can't, over night, achieve this "stress free" singing. (this also gives a vocal coach "tribal knowledge" to keep you coming back to them as-if they are the only one who has the answer to this elusive concept) This is nonsense and here's why: Singing is like a sport. And with any sport, it's not the absence of stress, it's the management of stress that makes a great athlete. Think of it like this: When Lionel Messi is going to goal, do you think his body is "stressed?" (Anyone who says it isn't has never played a sport before). But Lionel has learned the art of training his body and mind for that moment when it's time for him to step on the gas, take on 3 players and score what "looks" like an "effortless goal." But you can be assured, it was not done "without effort" or without "stress." Lionel achieved this through training his technical abilities as well as building stamina and muscle memory to achieve this consistency. Now it is true that some styles of singing require less stamina than others and therefore can be accomplished with less strength training. In other words, singing a light pop song requires very little "strength" in the sound whereas singing a heavy rock song often requires incredible strength and stamina. This is also true for those (like myself) that want to push their "limits" and abilities to be all they can be. This of course requires more "effort" and technical training. With that said, there are many stages to building this "stamina" and it's OK to "find yourself" as one first starts with "damaging street singing" (with total stress) and going through the different stages of learning how to manage this stress away form the voice through correct training. If I didn't show the different stages of this process, and only showed "perfection", people would never learn that these people are all human, having to work on their craft just like yourself.

[@SamuelNovota]

Amen!

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

This is so seriously true. Anybody who thinks they can sing like this without managing stress and tension, and really, I mean really controlling the breath is misinformed.

[@kentamplin]

***** when singing powerful rock songs like this it requires a tremendous amount of air. What you see is me taking a quick hit in the lung and then immediately dropping my shoulders to let my abdomen and diaphragm do all the work. Especially with songs like Freddy's where there are long phrases and belting high range there is no way around taking in large amounts of air into the long then holding your breath to mitigate that air with substantial abdominal strength. I cover this thoroughly in my singing course

[@irblueflames69]

Yeah I was listening to a very well known vocal coach I watched videos of him coaching Haley Williams, Taylor Swift, and other, famous artists as well but when I watched a video of him singing in front of an audience; my jaw dropped on how he needed to take his own advice by the way he performed . . . it was painful to watch . . .Then I watched this video of is like night and day difference. . .

By any chance, did you ever happen to meet or spend time with Freddie in your career?

[@kentamplin]

Freddy was just an awesome vocalist. I never got to meet him, but what an honor that would have been. Freddie was a dynamic singer, sang from the heart, and poured his soul into his singing. It's that passion for singing that we all want to emulate, and I want everyone to know that they can train to sing his songs well. Nobody will ever replace Freddie Mercury. But we can all honor him by singing and playing his songs and remembering the music he gave us all.

He may have never had a lesson but he was simply untouchable...

I don't think there's any other singers alive that could sing like that with such power and intensity while sick to the point they weigh 100lbs and are as pail as a ghost.

Freddy Mercury's voice had soul, a strength and a personality within that can't be taught. He sang from deep inside to show outside the emotions he felt while creating songs. So many people can have a good train and a good voice and the result can be good, but still they'll be so far away from the feelings his voice gives to the world. His Energy can't be copycat

Can you please please please do Maynard James Keenan from Tool? You did a great job with Muse and Chris Cornell and Queen. I think Maynard's voice is super unique as well. A tone/timbre that none of the other singers you've done has.

[@garycrosbie4934]

Just FYI, Night at the Opera was the 4th album. Queen, Queen2, Sheer Heart Attack then Night at the Opera.

[@lukethesinger]

Hey ken I wonder if you could make a video on how to sing like Adam lambert? He's one of my and alot of ppls fav singers! Thanks you for your time awesome video btw!

[@FrancisMarkPelayo]

Superb demonstration. Love hearing you sing Mr. Tamplin. FYI he is not covering. He is trying to show how to sing like and what are the proper techniques of singing specially at this ranges and octaves.

[@kentamplin]

Thank you! 😄

[@anntrower5155]

Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm so happy you came in my scroll! The days I'm here but don't come across you are less enjoyable. This is absolutely incredible as always! Is there something I can do with KZbin or settings to have you appear more in my scrolling? If I know yes there is, I'll figure it out otherwise I'm going to unsubscribe to some other people. Adding more subcriptions has made me see you less and I don't like that! You're still my number 1 favorite singer- of anybody! Have a great day! :)

Guys, Ken Templin doesn't try to sing like Freddie, he was just sing in his style. How come you never read the title

[@Moviefan2k4]

I was VERY surprised, to hear you hit that really high note in "Somebody to Love". Excellently done, sir.

[@kentamplin]

Moviefan2k4 Surprise!

[@Knightfall8]

this is probably one of my favorite videos of yours, and I think it's the first one I saw. Although a lot of people tell me I sound like freddie when I sing, I never made it my goal to sing like him - as you said, he never had formal singing training, and a lot of his late career sound was influenced by nodes (nodules? I forget the terminology). Early on I would try to sing like him but after learning all this, I realized that continuing down that path might lead to forming bad habits

[@kentamplin]

Freddie impacted the way so many vocalists approach singing. If you're going to be influenced by great singers, he is one to study!

[@douglaskirbyl4684]

Ken, you are true composer and musician. You have a gift from above.

[@NcedoWabantu]

A for effort. But you must understand... Freddie is untouchable.

[@pinklloydgaming9230]

He had pneumonia when he sang this.

Wow. Great job brother. You been blessed with strong vocal cords, an attuned ear, and tremendous fortitude.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks, Douglas! 😊

[@Kyle-dj2gv]

Wow you are an incredible singer with amazing range, good on you darling. Yet instead of trying to sound like the greatest singer ever, you could front your own band with your amazing voice. Great singers are so few and far between and you are a great singer. I write, arrange, record, and play everything except bass and drums. You are so talented, and an awesome vocalist, I would forge my own path and not try to sound like the late and great Freddie Mercury. Either way you have incredible range and power. God bless my friend.

[@kentamplin]

King David- Thank you. Regarding my: "How To Sing Like" series. People say "You should sound like you and no one else". And I say - Absolutely! No one should "clone" anyone. But we all have influences, and it is the sum of those influences, and how we "re-present" them with our own style that makes us great. In addition, If we pick a difficult cover song where the bar is set high, this is an excellent grading scale to see how well our singing technique is working. This is also true for learning in different styles as this increases our vocabulary and tool box for diverse singing and helps us find what we like or don't like to build our own unique voice. In all of my "How To Sing Like" videos, I still sound like Ken Tamplin, but I have a flavor of the original artist demonstrating their "style" safely when often the original artist lost their voice due to bad technique. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Tamplin

[@Kyle-dj2gv]

Very well said and I completely agree. Rock on Ken! I wish I could get you into my studio. God bless my friend.

Ken never says you'll sound like are imitate a particular singers voice, but he does say in the style of so and so. He will teach you how to sing in the range of any artist is what I thank he is trying to get across with proper vocal lessons.

[@kentamplin]

Thank you, kevin!

[@777Pantheraleo]

Your welcome Ken.

[@douglaskirbyl4684]

I always enjoy you and your cousin. One of my favorite tunes is Van Halen with Sammy "Love Comes Walking In". I love how he starts out with that emphasis on the word "Contact!!!"...and then the "asleep or awake" just flows right after...."to change your life to lose your place in time". I love the flow of that song. The entire 5150 album was outstanding. I am going to start listening to your songs too. That performance with you and Jeff Scott Soto blow back my remaining hair. It seem like it was written to have a "layered" effect. It was multidimensional and smooth. It had a a soulful quality to it and it rocks.

[@beingjono]

everyone thinks they are some vocal critic, lets see you guys do any better...

[@kentamplin]

Jono Townsend amen!

[@TheMrturn1]

Not really, and this is the biggest copout mindset that seems to be a common thread in the artistic dialog running through this millennial generation... And Ken, who I respect (but I think his Freddie is a near miss) should know better than to agree with that sentiment. A man doesn't have to be a craftsman to have taste or judge a person who had placed themselves in front of a person, presuming that their ability is worth the taking of this person, or entire crowds ten minutes, hour or two. A person does not have to have gone to film school to walk out of a movie saying "I didn't like that flick." Honest critique and hearing the truth about your work is utterly important and not to be avoided if you want to progress. Ken knows, or should know the jazz musicians maxim (Dolphy said it) "the more you learn, the more there is to learn." And critique is a very big part of that. If you invite people to pay money, click on a link, stop their day to watch your work or believe in you as a teacher, and you deliver that crowd a stinker of spoiled trout, they have every right to let you know that. Go tell the people at Amateur Night at the Apollo that they are not entitled if they haven't taken vocal classes or can't otherwise sing that they therefore have no right to boo a horrible act off the stage. Beyond the bounds of that rough hall, generally, so long as a person isn't being vicious and sadistic in their telling you they don't like your act (and teaching is an act like any other) there is absolutely nothing wrong with a person articulating the natural feeling they have inside that 1) their time and or money has been wasted, and 2) this presumptuous bad act needs to wake up out of their self involved fog. Final anecdote. Charlie Parker, who is without question THE foundational, overwhelmingly influential alto jazz saxophonist of the Twentieth Century, was heckled off of a stage after a bad performance in his youth. He thereby locked himself in his room for a very long stretch of constant and maniacal, obsessive practice, determined to never suffer that embarrassment ever again. And he never did: that harsh criticism awoke the genius in him and he literally changed his instrument and all music forever. Political correctness and fear of slight abrasion can go too far. And telling a person that a middling performance must be honored if you're not a craftsman in that art form is positively absurd. Tl;Dr. I know. But think about it.

[@TerminatorT800ish]

+tuki thedb thats right. he say "sing like freddy " not sound like freddy. maybe what he means is the technique how freeddy sing. he copy the way that freddy sing. but the sound of course completely different coz the voice colour is different.

[@marcusaboba]

+Nanda Harry After you watch some of Ken's videos you realize that that's actually the intention. Not to sound like the singer, but to use the same techniques, attitude, etc etc...

Freddie Mercury will always be the best singer of all time. Freddie is immortal because your voice and your songs are timeless. I'm still shivers when I hear your voice , my body shudders . Thank you for singing songs of supergroup Queen .

[@LouMires]

Funny. I've always seen him as a broadway musician and composer who turned it all to rock, too. I've never wanted to sound like someone else, but I certainly wanted to glean all I could off of all the greats like Freddie Mercury, Steve Perry, Geoff Tate, etc. Ken, thank you for championing vocalists. I always learn from you. Though I am financially poor, I learned I am rich in talent as I continue to grow my skills. God bless, man!

[@Soverakera]

You are my spirit animal. I wish I could afford private lessons with you...Maybe I can ask you a question. In my adult life I have decided to follow any dreams, big or small, that I have had at any stage in my life. I am a 33 year old woman and always wanted to rock! I don't want to start a band, I don't think I am going to ever actually get on stage and sing...but I want to learn, just for me. Is that a legitimate enough reason to take singing lessons, if a student like me came to you would you be like "why are you here?" lol. Ps I have always had crippling stage freight, so even singing in front of an instructor scares the crap out of me. Advice? I am in North San Diego if you know anyone in the Carlsbad/Oceanside area.

[@kentamplin]

+Kara B - Many students start later in life, and often with no prior experience in singing. So follow your dreams and make your life be what you want it to be. I do lessons via skype, and my singing course is a self-study, self-paced training package that you can do at home and go onto my online singers forums to get feedback on how you are doing.

[@Blendre]

I really dig your approach to your videos. So, entertaining and informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks Blendre

[@thisisblackmesa]

This guy came pretty close. To Freddie Mercury that is

[@charliebomps6564]

Molun no he didn't

[@hugot1]

+Charley Bomps you noob

[@sermerlin1]

+Charley Bomps He pulled it off in his own vocal style. You can hear the freddies style but you don't hear freddie because simply he doesn't have freddie like pipes.

[@charliebomps6564]

i don't hear the style of freddie anywhere in this,i sing in the style of freddie ;that guy thinks he can sound like every singer in the world when in reality he can't sing at all

[@sermerlin1]

Charley Bomps what are you on about mate? He IS NOT trying to sound like freddie he is doing his OWN thing but singing in tune freddie mercury sings but just by singing in tune with how freddie sang you can hear freddie through it especially when he accents the same. He doesn't try to sound like ANY SINGER but himself. It's his way of how to sing the way the other singers sing and you know what? He's doing fucking beast job of proving that he can sing SHIT LOAD of styles and varieties. When he says "how to sing like freddie mercury" It means that he can SHOW YOU how to sound like freddie. How to hit the notes freddie is hitting. If you have freddie like pipes you will sound exactly like freddie. This is the only teacher that i've discovered so far on youtube and internet that's actually singing and proving he knows his shit and he knows the right techniques to pull it off without going ape shit after one song. The others just talk and talk and talk and never demonstrate that they can actually sing nor their students. Check painkiller cover from ken. He pulled off what rob pulled off ONLY in studio. PLUS rob was probably taking a rest before pulling some stuff on the recordings while ken did all in ONE FUCKIN' GO. I can't honestly take you serious if you say he can't sing at all. I wish i had money to get ken to tutor me and build me up technically how to use my body to sing with ZERO strain while singing all the different styles whether it be pure screaming or reaching top of the notes i believed i could never reach. Peace out.

I am so glad to see the resurgence of Queen and have seen the film several times. Your videos are so Inspirational and until I pay off some bills and save up to visit you in Hawaii, I will continue driving in my car singing along. God Bless You!

Hi Ken, im sorry I just have to say this. Thats not how Fred sings crazy little thing called love. He actually really drops the larynx down so it sounds deep. All in all he has that deep sound, not like the bright one u did. You nailed we will rock u tho. Still my fav vocal coach tho.

[@nickknowles8402]

absolutely unreal. is it just DVDs from your site you offer lessons?

[@kentamplin]

Most of what I do are web cam skype sessions all over the world. My Academy is LOCATED in Hawaii and Los Angeles for "In Studio" sessions however I would strongly recommend starting with my "How To Sing - Better Than Anyone Else" course as it will save you a LOT of time and money. You can find it under the "singing courses" tab on the bottom of my KenTamplinVocalAcademy.com page (or click this link: kentamplinvocalacademy.com/how-to-sing-regular-bundle/ Then if you feel like you need to take a personal after doing the course for a bit to make sure you are on track is always a good idea (or if you just want to start straight away with personal instruction). The personal instruction is located there as well and I record the video sessions and a copy is sent to you for your reference. (or you can click this link): kentamplinvocalacademy.com/online-singing-lessons/ ) There is also a "gold bundle option" that includes 3 one hour sessions with me. What many people do is get this (it comes with the course and basically the course is free with this option) then they will take a lesson after doing volume 1 for a while to make sure they are on track. Then do the same for volume 2 etc. For "In Studio" sessions you can click this link: kentamplinvocalacademy.com/personal-singing-lessons/ I have also put great singers forums with over 5,000 like minded students and 8 moderators (including myself) to help field questions abut the course helping to take some of the guesswork out of it. I hope that answers your questions :-) -Ken

its not to imitate but more of the style of singing

[@kentamplin]

+Mr. Smith Exactly. :)

[@j_freed]

Everything is about The Takeaway from what you learn. Guys like Halford appreciate Freddie and the guy in The Darkness and still do their own thing. It makes you explore your capabilities vocally AND creatively. Same with Dickinson being inspired by Gillan, tons of overlap but Bruce has a massive body of work exploring his own vocal style & that nobody can touch.

[@valtiumzauzer7317]

I do have some background in music and can sing a little bit ( means to say I'm not completely of the track ) but I really want to give it my best. I was checking your website and wanted to obuy your download course, and do you think the Skype classes are necessary too? because I really want to sing and find my voice. thanks in advance :)
