Top 10 Singers without Auto-Tune - Vocal Coach Ken Tamplin Reacts

[@ahardcorejedi2968]

I'm always down for 20min Ken Tamplin stories. Don't stop being you, dude.

[@kentamplin]

Ahardcorejedi Thank you!

[@92000]

@@kentamplin I confirm that it actually is something you won't hear anywhere else too often. And it is nice to hear. *The adventures of the rock veteran - Ken Tamplin* haha ;]

[@abunchahooey]

Oh no, Ken!! The bathroom stories! I can't imagine the embarrassment! No need to apologize for your Ken Stories, they are always interesting. Plus, in this case, it saved us from having to hear more Bieber singing.

[@kentamplin]

abunchahooey Hahaha! That's funny!

[@amandahuginkiss4098]

Reminds me of naked gun movie.

[@HalfDuck]

A lot of 'vocal coach reacts' are too scared too point out autotune on these, because of the fan backlash haha

[@marilon]

Exactly.

[@lewisvilletexas]

Agree

[@OldBoiler62]

There is a young singer who a lot of people haven't heard because she doesn't sing pop and she doesn't use auto-tune. It's Jackie Evancho. She's had an absolutely beautiful voice since she exploded on the scene in 2010 at the age of 10. She began as a classical singer and has now branched out into a little pop but also Broadway music.

[@teteachhangte3464]

In my opinion.. Top singer without auto-tune is dimash and second is bruno mars

[@memameg5037]

Maybe you can try Sia, her cracks and breaks just prove it no autotune in her recording or live performance.

[@kentclark1969]

Forgot Adam Lambert, David Phelps and Jemery Jordan?

[@dingbat19]

seriously? Listen to Steve Perry from Journey singing live in the 1970s and early 80s before autotuned existed

[@babiekoala7643]

Who in the world put Selena in top 10... Even Tay don't make it into this list, Should be... Ariana, Dimash, Beyonce

[@alex19leal]

Dimash's tone is really annoying to me personally , Bruno has a way better tone.

[@kaicanyonellis]

At last! Your Bieber reaction! I've been waiting for this for years 😂 Can't WAIT for the Seal reaction. Agree - one of the great artists of our time.

[@kentamplin]

Kai Canyon Ellis 👍

[@ibsulon]

@@kentamplin Please tell me that the CeeLo Green and Seal mixup was a slip of the tongue. (At least pretend it was before putting out a reaction video with Seal and Crazy!)

[@mrstrypes]

@@ibsulon Ha! I caught that one too. CeeLo is the one who sang "Crazy".

[@glitterxgore6943]

Jessie J is seriously underrated, especially compared to some singers who seemed to blow up. Yes they have talent but she’s just another at a whole other level compared to a lot of them. Not even a fan of hers but I’ve heard some of her live stuff and holy crap she’s got it.

[@CamRebires]

I actually enjoy the Ken-Tamplin-stories in between, keep it up bro

[@JosephAyrtonHam]

I gotta say, I really love these kind of off the cuff style of videos you've been doing Ken. Of course I love your educational/cover videos as well, but you come across extra genuine here.

[@johnangel4241]

I love the fact you keep doing videos and reactions. Please never stop ahah

Only Ken Tamplin could mimic auto tune in person without auto tune 😂😂 The proof is in the singing at 3:50. Class... total legend

[@kentamplin]

Haha! Thanks, Martin!

[@surpriseme1082]

Yeah that was awesome!

[@peevee605]

I remember pounding it out in a rehearsal studio in the late 80's. We had a codex that you would not record stuff you could not pull off live. We were teens at the time so it was a little black and white thinking as studio is a different beast from live but the ethics were spot on. These days artists live goes through the hands of 3 Pro Tools engineers doing live edits. Or lead vocals is only on track. I don't need a singer to dance and jump around as an excuse of not singing live. Please take your vocal and throw down hard. That's something I respect. Cheers, Ken, you are spot on.

[@kentamplin]

Daniel Lekerdal👍

[@Viralityoflife]

Jessie J is the most underrated singer I’ve seen. As well as Brendon Urie. Not enough people make a big deal about them. Both outstanding

[@cn2746]

Laughed at your stories. Thought back re other similar "events" I'd been told and it could have been worse! Keep rockin' - Carol

Wasn't Beyonce singing Crazy, by Gnarls Barkley?

A video of a couple of Ken Tamplin stories would be pretty cool; it may even help recruit some students because it breaks down the teacher/student barrier. Awesome commentary, man, and I laughed dang hard, too.

[@amygald]

Jessie is just unbelievable. Have you checked out her version of My heart will go on? Breathtaking, I watched it over and over again. She deserves much more attention.

[@marielfernandez2190]

Great to hear of those incidents. Nice personal touch to the video.

[@shaheenabubshait]

Some of these performances have pitch correction, aka "processing" lol!

[@The_Buff_Guy]

Processing includes many things (EQ, compression, delay, verb, pitch correction aka auto tune etc). Processing is perfectly fine as long as Pitch correction is not used. Auto tune is NEVER necessary and should be abolished entirely. All it does is make the music boring and less enjoyable to Listen to. It’s become a crutch.

[@ccselementarymusic3968]

I would love to hear these singers today sing the old standards the way they did in the 40s. I listen to the 40s channel on the sat radio, hear some of the lesser known recordings from those days and the singers simply nail it without any bells or whistles and no multi-tracking either, all playing/singing at the same time. I do understand that autotune does create its own kind of effect which is cool, but I also like an unprocessed sound.

[@Jon_2218]

Great stories Ken, much appreciated, much enjoyed.

[@haddynough8402]

[@melkatts]

I've never used auto-tune on my vocals. I would NEVER use it live, but I can see how it could be useful in the studio. Say you nail a very emotional part & it's all perfect, but one syllable is a little flat. Correct that one syllable & keep the intensity of the take. Relying on auto-tune is just covering up a lack of talent. I don't like that at all.

Yep I totally hear what you're saying Kelly Matthews!

[@montereyharris1277]

Reinhold Mack said himself some years back that one thing he loved about working with Freddie Mercury and A “few” other good vocalists was that it made his job not so stressful and more enjoyable. He said that these record labels were sending artists to him that couldn’t sing worth a damn, & his job was to make them sound good. Selena Gomez is awesome and considering that she’s working with lupus as well, I know personally that is extremely hard! I don’t know how she does it

[@parnikaandpavanijoshi551]

Totally agree on the Jessie j part! She is phenomenal! I feel sad that artists like demi, dimash and pink are so highly underrated too! They are out of this world! Truly amazing all four of them!

💜💜💜

[@harmonica212]

Auto-Tune is what I think is killing music. I like the natural sound of someone's voice. I like old-school music when they didn't have Auto-Tune. Auto-Tune allows anyone to sing where you don't have to have a great voice and be a great singer which I think makes for Crappy music. I don't think anyone should be able to sing unless you have a good voice and you can actually sing.

[@touchmyrainbow]

I suggest Singers slaying without Microphone, really interesting

[@tylerhackner9731]

I played guitar in the studio and wrote for a young female vocalist around 2010ish and she grew up listening to autotuned vocals and when she sang she sounded autotuned complete with attempted artifacts. We were blown away!

[@kabum33]

Auto-Tunes is perfect for this generation with all tools and adulations and NO personality at all.

[@Deborahtunes]

Even some of the ones who don't use auto-tune, they just sound so similar and generic to me. I really miss the the older music (70's & some 80's, which had originality, and you knew who was singing. No one was copying anyone else, nor did they sound like anyone else. Although in the 80's it seemed like the new wave bands started to copy each other, after a while. Same with some of the hair metal bands in the later 80's. This group of females are so similar to each other in sound. It reminds me of the 1960's Motown females that also started to sound the same after a few years. No originality here...

[@giulianacr2638]

@@Deborahtunes Glam bands sounded alike because they all shared similar singing style, but there was no autotune back then, it took a lot of talent and technique to belt out the high notes they were doing. Also, I could differentiate between Cinderella, G&R, Skid Row vocals, etc...
