Sing Without Tension - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy

Sing Without Tension - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
Singing is a sport and the voice should be treated as such.
Tension starts by "forcing" or "overusing" various muscle groups that start a cascading affect of "binding up" muscle.
Many coaches on the internet advocate there should be "no tension."
With any kind of resistance training you will always have a degree of the sensation of resistance. The goal is to strength train correctly so that you can manage away stress/tension. 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, overnight, achieve this "stress free" singing. (this also gives a vocal coach "tribal knowledge" to keep you coming back to them as 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 from 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.

Here is a tutorial on an important topic for singers. Can we really sing without tension, or instead do we really need to learn how to MANAGE that tension and put healthy tension to work for us, like the healthy tension that we use to walk or talk with? Find out more, and let me know your thoughts on the subject! Please LIKE AND SHARE! :-)

[@TheJackish90]

Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Hey, Mr. Tamplin, have you ever heard of a Japanese artist named Yasushi Ishii? If you have, can you do a video where you explain how he sings? If not, he's a music artist in anime that specializes in jazz, hard rock, experimental, and classical. I need to know how exactly he sing for a 'specific' reason. I'm not going to copy his singing or anything, just to let you know. Also, I think you two sing similarly and you would sound great singing some of his songs like "Death Dance", "Soul Rescuer", "Yugure", "Hatred Guy of Sinfulness", "Sky Walker", and "When Going to a War, use a Bow."

And ken, I'M SORRY THAT I AM LIKE SPAMMING TO YOU ON KZbin, but I have a little obstacle I can't seem to bypass. It's problems with straining. I have good breath support, yet, for some reason I sometimes start straining whenever I go over to my mixed voice. Like G4-C5 are so strained they seriously hurt my voice sometimes. Other times it works just as it should.

[@aquaecoloratum]

Just observing that Ken is a good example of true self confidence, he can say with a smile that what he do is awesome, and unlike vanity it still feel humble because it rely on a fondation of profound truth. Vanity is a mechanism to hide that deep inside the person thinks differently than what he is showing and even telling himself. So, that’s why I really trust him, and I want this self confidence to with my singing. He can transmit it because he have it for real.

Your beliefs about spending true time to get great at anything is fact, as it's with time spent focused on the correct ways of doing something that we automate these ways and open our focus to new improvements. Awesome lesson, thanks!

Amazing job explaining. It's very clear what to do and what not to do. It's like you took the words from my mouth. I always try to explain this to my students, but this video is just perfect! Thank you for sharing your technique, it's very generous from you to take the time to record and upload this. Why doesn't this have a billion likes???

I just learned more in less than four minutes from you than I learned in several sessions with a local vocal teacher with a Bachelor's who was charging me $60/hr.

I really love coming back to this to solidify the fundamentals in relaxation. I recently learned that the brain will quite literally disable strength of the body, if the spine is not supported. The part about not tipping the spine is really really important, thank you for the video!

You stating that you don't like to learn things you have to relearn later reminded me of a statement that Buddy Ebsen made regarding Shirley Temple as a child actress. Buddy Ebsen speaking of Shirley Temple when they did a movie together with a dance scene in it. She arrived for rehearsal and he was working on the choreography. He had the dance done and mentioned to her that he was thinking of making changes. Her response was: "OK, let me know when your done." and then she turned and walked away. Buddy Ebsen said he wanted to spank her for that, but, she was right. There is no point in learning dance moves that you will later have to unlearn. Despite her age, Shirley Temple was a professional.
