How To Sing High Notes

Ken is an awesome singer and teacher, and a true gentleman and scholar - if every singing student had a teacher half as good as Ken the world would truly sing in perfect harmony.

That's kind of youo!

[@Woodstock271]

Thanks a lot Ken. My neighbor knocked on my door and asked if I was okay. (I was singing along with you) So I explained that I’m okay, I’m doing a voice exercise with my vocal instructor. That changed her attitude right away. She saw my guitar hanging on the wall and said, “Wow, so you’re a musician then?” (She’s new our building) Everyone else knows I try to keep my singing at a low volume and my guitar through an amp and headphones. I said, “Yes, I’ve been a musician for over forty years and now I’m learning to sing from the best teacher I know. Sorry to bother you.” She nodded, “That’s so cool. Keep doing your thing. My name is Wendy.” (I told her my real name) “I know vocal exercises sound like a crazy person sometimes, and this apartment building is full of crazy people, so I understand your concern. I’m fine. Really.” Anyway, you got me in trouble again with the voice exercise thing, but it’s all good. I made a new friend who thought I might need an ambulance. I think I’ll plug in my guitar and headphones for a couple hours of silent practice and do my singing on the barges where I can go full volume and not disturb my neighbors, who are mostly fish. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Day and thanks again for your incredible voice lessons. You’re the best, man. Aloha from Seattle.🤙🏼

[@kentamplin]

I have a really funny story for you about that. A few years back I was Recording Bon Jovi's "Living on a prayer". In order to make the chorus sound right you have to stack a lot of vocals. And I mean a lot of vocals, like 40 tracks. As I sang the chorus over and over "Woah oh living on a prayer" my sweet elderly neighbor named Ron came banging on my door saying "Ken are you OK Ken are you OK" . He thought I was screaming "hey Ron I need help!" Gotta love your neighbors ha ha

[@heyitsmedee]

😂😂 I feel you. My neighbor checked on me too.

8:06 - 11:30 Once again Ken, you've done it again. Thank you for your help. I've grown as a singer by taking your video lessons.

[@joemaurone7923]

Thanks, Ken! You just solved a mystery for me as to why I could hit a high note in one place of certain songs, but miss the same high note at the end. Much appreciated!

[@kentamplin]

Happy to help!

[@tatjanalatimer9633]

You're right about other coaches on high notes. I was taught so much about head register, and dealt with the embarrassing passaggio hiccup. Broke free from that, and now following your lead, and sounding much better for it.

[@bsenka]

I have always been amazed at the range and tone you have been able to sing with. You have this ability to be both singing very high notes while also maintaining a vocal tone that sounds deep. It's like you're using your chest voice and your head voice at the same time. You and David Coverdale were the only rock singers I have ever heard that could pull this off.

[@debsbarra1130]

I'm so glad to have found your videos. I'm 68 and recently started singing in a rock band again (23 years and a thyroid surgery later). Trying to get my chops back again. My upper chest voice seems tight and not as high as it used to be. I was thinking my voice would never be the same after my surgery but after watching your videos I have hope I can get my range back. God bless you Ken!

[@kegenrodrigues]

That’s really impressive. Keep it going🤟🤟

[@sethblackburn8067]

I have been watching your videos for about a month now and been practicing to the best of my ability and I noticed my voice steadily improving to the point of accidentally yawning a clear and oddly beautiful note at work, I can't wait for your next set of videos and hope to join your singing course by Christmas time as a present for myself.

True story: I bought Ken's course a couple years ago. I now play in a "working" band. We play range of music including Foreigner (Feels Like The First Time, Hot Blooded), Boston (Foreplay Longtime), U2 (Vertigo) and The Darkness (I believe in a Thing Called Love). I've had 3 random people come up to me (all at different gigs) and ask me how I sing so well! One person said "you play until 1am... how does your voice get better as the night goes on?" I tell them the same thing: Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy!

Thanks for the tips Ken sometimes it's hard to hit those high notes especially in the mornings you got to let your vocals get loose and loosen up as the day goes on your voice needs to wake up gets easier to hit high notes later on in the day for me it does anyways but placement head voice chest voice up in your make all these techniques help make it easier thanks for explaining the tips Ken it helps all ways buddy👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@gracefisher7667]

@@kentamplin I agree with you.

[@LAUptegrove]

I started performing when I was 10 or so. I could sing ANY high note..... I stopped performing about age 40. I stopped performing totally. AMAZING, in about 3 months, something happened to me which usually happens to boys at about age 12; my voice dropped. Considerably. As time has went by, my throat muscles had atrophied to where my range was severely restricted. I now have a great, deep voice.....but no range. Finding this video in my late 60's (as I once again re-enter the performing world) has been a Godsend to me. It brought back all those excercises I had in college as a music major and reminded me that everything is about musclature and of course, that old saying: "If you don't USE it, you LOSE it.". I'm taking these exercises to heart and even after a short period of time and finding an amazing recapture of some of my range.......with expectations of building back a good performing range. Thanks so much for sharing this. I'm now a subscriber and will check out all your other videos. I owe you a big one for this.

[@Frankyz84]

I am a self taught singer and have been singing seriously for the last 8 years. I admit i am not a great singer, but folks seem to like what i do and i get paid for it. I have always felt that i could do better and since i have come across your KZbin lessons i feel i have started to improve, and this lesson could be a big help as i tune down my guitar a whole tone so i can cover a wider range of songs. My plan is by this time next year is to be able to cover the same set but in standard tuning. I think this lesson will go a long way to helping me achieve that. Thank You.

[@RyanHicks306]

I have always been a fan of you Ken. This is a wonderful demonstration. I studied voice for four years doing all classical singing and as you say the proof is in the singing. Good technique is good technique no matter what style of music. My first teacher took time to show me the anatomy of the muscles and moving parts in our bodies that are used with the voice. There are no short cuts and I love the point you make about giving the voice a foundation for high note (not hit, but place). Now, I am a songwriter/performer in Americana/folk-rock and use these techniques all of the time in my own music with a foundation in studying voice for four years. You know you anatomy of the voice and I continue to learn and grow from you, Ken. Thank-you for the great lesson.

[@kentamplin]

Very cool, Ryan!

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

Ken, I just love you. Part of singing is feeling good about yourself and allowing that positivity to vibrate through you. Even through the video I just feel the love you have for your craft, the belief that anyone can sing and like I am allowed to sing and should be singing. Thanks. I've struggled with high notes since forever, this is the first time I've allowed myself to singing high notes without fear

[@tony.kmullinsstudio818]

Myles Kennedy (AlterBridge) often speaks about using Bel Canto and using his muscles used to ‘pee’ to support his 4 octave vocal range. He is in his 50’s and maintains near perfect pitch and vocal control both on record and live in all his crazy high notes! Great singer. Great band!

[@mazzars1772]

Another excellent video mate. I spent a long time throttling myself to hit high notes, burning myself out, getting sore throats about once a week which really put a hamper on regular practice. When I finally worked out what over-singing was and learned to back off I realised how much range I actually had.

[@davidmaraisthecampfireguit2596]

You have insane amounts of talent, Ken. My register feels so limited. This is inspiring,

[@charleslancaster4202]

Ken speaks the truth 🙏🏻. Took me many years of singing to figure all this stuff out on my own. I still learn things from these videos and get reinforcement of things that I already discovered on my own. I took some lessons from an opera singer in the early 80’s and no one spoke about head voice. I was stuck on high C for decades lol. Fear of the note is your worse enemy 😉.

[@musicandmania]

I don't want to sound cheesy but i freaking prayed to find a channel like this. Music is my whole thing and im a vocalist as a personal passion. I dont do much with it but ive been taking my singing seriously for a few years, for no real reason other than that its what i want to do, just for sake of doing it. I am a 30 year old woman and my range is not of the typical feminine but I thrive in the 80s glam rock. No other channel has truly provided what I have needed, by teaching, examples, and most importantly, my type of voice and range. I cant believe I stumbled upon this.

[@pianonotes1010]

I love that you spent the last five minutes or so explaining vowel placement, timbre, and the passagio relative to bel canto; but not actual mention you were describing the bel canto foundation. Your approach is excellent. It's not nebulous or impractical. It's easy to conceptualize and visualize. Similarly, Luciano Pavarotti conducted a master class years ago and had the student--a young tenor--imagine his voice was a trumpet producing a bright, forward sounding note with the same quality. When it comes to singing, there's so much more to teaching than just spewing out a bunch of technical jargon. 👍👍

Thanks Ken. I think a lot of success with high notes is mindset and plenty of experimentation, feeling your way to the notes and moving away from the perception of them being "high."

[@LouieCamantigue]

These lessons that you brought to youtube made a great difference on my singing even If I’m still working with my diaphragmatic support, relaxation and singing with no tension. But I greatly improved because of what you do. Thank you! I hope someday I’ll be able to afford your whole course.

[@knitwits1903]

I never psych myself out by thinking about high notes and I relax into it which I think makes it very simple. I think some people strain to reach high notes because they think about it coming up. I totally agree with you. Go Bri.👊

Just came over from the Steve Perry video. I'm totally new to you. I can smell a vocal coach BS-er from a mile away. There are so many terrible vocal coaches out there...frauds, really, though they don't know it themselves. I am completely unfamiliar with your teaching style, but I can tell immediately that this is the real deal. I was professionally trained in a past life, and some terminology is shared, but your method on the whole is unfamiliar to me. Still, everything you are saying is clicking with me just from my experience with my own voice. How refreshing to find someone who really knows what they're talking about. Subscribed!

Ken cracks me up. He basically does 15 minute video without and edits except when he needs his guitar. Nothing says amateur like edits every 30 seconds. The BEST vocal coach period.

[@GaryBradleymusic]

Jeez, I normally can hit an A but lost it and started laughing at C#! Absolultely right about the tension cascade and working from support! Epic!... Bloody hell, I hit the E! Terrible tone but holy crap! Ken, you're a hero!

[@jasonstallworth]

Awesome lesson, Ken, and love this approach of giving ourselves permission by gradually building that strong foundation. I’ve always thought of myself having an extremely limited range (definitely couldn’t hit that E5 or the one before it!) I do solo gigs on the weekends playing 80s on acoustic and have to transpose most songs so that I can sing them (Richard Marx, Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi, Don Henley, to name a few). I’d love to be able to sing those songs in the ‘normal’ key! That said, this is going to now be part of my daily routine…thank you!

[@scully5860]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was always able to hit higher registers and scream like Ian Gillian when I was younger, but I lost it over time (56 now, smoking for 30+ years didn't help either). I accepted this as inevitable, especially when I saw Geddy Lee and Ian lose their range over time. Watching your video and paying attention to how it feels made me realize that the problem is losing my core strength over time. I may never get my full range back, but I now know if I rebuild core strength to support the notes with my diaphragm will give me more of my range back.

[@clemensmariahaas8370]

Ken, THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!! I knew that my voice can do a lot, since I joined the choir as a tenor (typical, average pitch from A - C) but in the choir I had to sing barrito because it was missing below and, to my surprise, it worked very well . Then the range became ever stronger downwards, down to the deep D. Now, just now, I sang a whole tone more than 4 octaves for the first time in my life, completely relaxed, without squeezing, with shine and a beautiful sound and almost seamlessly to the very high register - THANK YOU, you are really great and you helped a lot! The most important thing about you is that you always have the fire of enthusiasm in you. Please don't ever lose it.

Again, as i commented in the warmup video, these are a great complement to the singing course!!

[@rickandrewsschlegelvideoch2045]

Ken, do you have like a vocal "grading sheet" where you can assess a performance and grade the singer on everything voice related so then you have a starting point for things to work on? Tone, timber, width, breadth, vibrato, chest voice, head voice, on pitch or off pitch, range, pleasantness, dip-thongs, over-singing, control, power, low and high.... and a thousand other ways to judge the voice/performance.. and in conjunction is there like a standard piece that you would use as a barometer/test starting point to test a vocalist to see where they are at, and what they need to work on.

Amazing video as always! I've always been thought of as a baritone, because I hardly could get pass F#4. But there was something I couldn't get - I had even more problems singing low notes, that a baritone should be able to sing with ease. It wasn't until I had gone to music school, when I was told I'm actually a tenor. I didn't believe it, so my teacher kind of suprised me - even at the top of my range, he insisted I keep going up with the proper support and... We went up to B4 easily. Practice and technique are really the only relevant way, and despite having a break in music... Thanks to your vid I might consider going back at it 🤠 Cheers and keep up the great work, you're an amazing teacher!

MAN ! The slider ex. manifested ,REALLY makes your point about the giving of permission,THEN the "proving" to self, it CAN BE DONE (IF? followed properly)I remember the video on this from 3-4 yrs ago, but gave up quickly cause I was "all over the place"..LOL. A HUGE THANKS for bringin alotta these previously covered techniques home to roost in later videos !

I have always found that high notes tend to be counter intuitive in how to get to them. Most when they start singing will do the tense up and strain harder to hit the note. But that is backwards. you (at least as my brain understands it) , relax into the note. Open mouth, relaxed neck muscles, etc. Yes you support more but it should not be a strain on the diaphragm. As you say its not about the note at all, its about everything that gets you to the note :)

12:21 cracked me up. You are a well rounded teacher. Funny, informative, genuine, entertaining, skilled and just cool in general.

And I agree with you completely about demonstration, where some people might talk about doing something, but never demonstrate what they’re talking about which is something that I have always tried to emphasize with my student and for whenever I post a video about singing tips, I always try to explain what I’m talking about And then demonstrate how it works so that way people can see that I’m not just talking to hear myself talk but that I actually know what I’m talking about and I can demonstrate how it works even showing them in song form how the methods I teach can be applied

My first instant subscribe ever. I have probably one of the top 3 best BS radars in the world and I detected 0% BS in you. I would subscribe even if not interested in the subject. Please get yourself a podcast. And do whatever subjects are close to your heart.

Priceless info! Thanks a lot sir Ken for the psychology of singing. Demonstration is the best way of teaching.

I've just come across your channel and this is the first video of yours that I'm watching. As someone who had to practise a lot to improve my voice, I find this video fascinating. My voice has a long way to go from where I'd like it to be, but I do enjoy singing low and high. I look forward to checking out more of your teachings. Thank you 🙂

I couldn’t find any good tips from other sources and since I’m singing in spanish there wasn’t many useful videos. But this was very helpful, all I had to do was convert some sounds and tones but it’s pretty much the same. Thanks a bunch 👍
