[@ChristineHaas94]

I hope people can appreciate how talented someone actually is to be able to sing (so nonchalantly haha) notes as you do in this lesson! I'd say I'm mildly ear trained to pitch and tone after 3 years of singing and voice study, and just WOW! Anyone!...(especially male) who can so quickly jump from their talking voice to a VERY advanced vocal projection and pitch....is amazing! Thank you for this video!

[@YaoEspirito]

And it's not just demonstrating exercises. He can listen to a song, even with crazy vocal passages, and immediately duplicate the singing, while explaining what's going on.

[@drvren030]

I REALLY like how he pointed out the case with ladies. I honestly could NOT agree more (that is, based on my experience). I've REALLY been struggling with this. I have a naturally raspy voice anyway, but when I go into the high notes, like, A4 onwards, this sort of fear takes over of whether ill sound pitchy, and so I end up losing that rasp and sort of husk, and it just sounds very head voicey and breathy. Thank you SO MUCH KEN, for pointing out something that I have not seen almost ANY other vocal coach out there point out. I'm feeling a lot more confident; I guess I'll prioritize the support and the strength of the higher register first, and then work on pitch. Again, Ken , i honestly can't thank you enough for clearing up a question I've been having for YEARS now!

[@kentamplin]

Rock on! 👍

[@markokecman1177]

How can I practice this without my neighbors thinking I'm a lunatic?

[@kentamplin]

Too late. They already know.

[@InternalizedSun]

Every time I hear a kid singing out loud while they walk or ride by our house I always get that nice warming feeling of how I used to just sing, sing, sing whenever I was alone (or with a band of course) in my teens and it makes me so happy to see that kids these days do exactly the same and just don’t mind what others think of them until they see you and they stop singing from being a little shy after all. So whenever they stop because of seeing me I always encourage them to keep singing because “it sounds nice” or “I love what you’re doing” or “Let it out and be free - it’s the best way to become the best” or stuff like that.. Today when I hear them singing and they then see me they do give a tiny smile away and perhaps a little laugh, but they do try to keep singing all the way down the road. So know that you might think that others find you being a lunatic, but we we/they just might actually admire you and enjoy that you are getting better and better with time - unfortunately sometimes in silence! - Rock on! BTW: My neighbors always turn down their radios whenever I practice or record (singing or an instrument)... they say - it’s way better and more interesting than what is on the radio - so I’m not the only one giving encouragement to others! 👍

[@martijndegroot1593]

@@InternalizedSun damn man, i never thought about it that way! I was always very shy about singing.

[@_JayRamsey_]

I was always so shy about singing. Always choked during semi-professional recording sessions. Finally becoming okay with singing without a guitar in my hands or a band behind me at the age of 27. I wish I'd dealt with my anxiety earlier, there are a lot of missed opportunities there. I'll try to remember to encourage anyone I hear singing in public from now on.

[@angelabartolone9150]

This is my biggest caveat right here. But as Ken said, yeah, pretty sure they already know so, what the hell lol.

Ken said some"controlling air". For a few days many years ago, I had something like laryngitis - where my speaking voice was muted. I found that I could sing like crazy! No voice cracking when I went for a high note (for me). It was an awesome feeling. I will have to search Ken's channel for material on air control.

Hey, Ken! A belted shout out from Brazil thanks to you! I've always loved singing but never gave myself the chance to dive into it. I am 34 now and i actually just began singing lessons for the 1st time about a month ago, i'm full on amateur, but lets see what happens. Besides, i can belt now!

[@cafe.cedarbeard]

Just stumbled upon your channel in the last couple days. Blown away. My voice is naturally pitched really similar to you. I too have expanded my depth, finesse, and range over my life singing. I dig that you teach correct ways to do things Bel Cantos consider no no. I like head voice cause there's nothing false about it, a term I never heard as a young singer. I spent a long time crushed in my baritone box even after figuring out for myself how to sing like Geddy Lee when I was 16. Too much tension, so I lost that in my 20's and 30's, been getting it back with grace and power learning how to build it on my big belly breath. Thanks again for sharing your channel. I been doing all these things, learning bird song too. Then comes you, illuminating greater awareness of what I naturally sense. Had I a teacher like you when I was 16, maybe it wouldn't have taken so long to get back into my full range.

[@unraveledpoet]

Thank you SO much for the great belting tips and exercises! I have a vocal performance degree as a classically trained soprano, but for the life of me I've always had such a hard time finding my "belting" voice- I switch so quickly to my head voice as soon as it gets too high for my chest voice. Turns out I've sacrificed it at the altar of the high note..! I'm working on becoming more stylistically flexible as I want to sing more pop/musical theater styles. Thanks again- you really know your stuff!!

[@blivion7203]

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite vocal coach on the Citadel! 4:11 That scream's taught me how to hit soprano notes now, even though I'm a baritone...

[@virginiaribis2070]

Nice, nice, nice on belting. In college I had a teacher that reminded very much of this. He wanted us to project from our chest to the back of the theater. I learned to use it in singing. It seems that some of the arts cross over.😊

[@AlaisDahen]

As a musician myself, albeit of a different variety (french horn), when you said that some people say to avoid practicing scales, I kinda chuckled. The scales are like the foundation of any piece of music whether you be an instrumentalist or a vocalist. One of my old band directors used to say "There are no such thing as hard scales, just unfamiliar ones." and that's true. The exercises and practices in any form of music are there to help build up that basic muscle memory and habits that make a musician good. Any really great, professional musician I can almost guarantee you practice scales and things like etudes daily and run through the basic practices. Now, it's a bit different for brass instruments since we don't have to worry about wearing out our vocal chords and needing to let them rest. Really, the focus is more on the embouchure (mouth muscles) and if you play with good technique, you really don't have to worry about wearing it out. Of course, it's not good to play all day.

[@redklok585]

I thought having a really deep baritone voice was a curse, but this stuff here helps me hit notes in a higher register without killing my voice. After years of singing and playing, I'm basically relearning how to sing all over again. My problem is my guitar's body against my diaphragm seems to cut my voice short. I feel like i'm at a crossroads of guitar or vocals only, but i can't choose. If i lower the guitar strap, i can't play as well, but if i raise it to where i can play, i can't sing properly from the weight. It's a dilemma I've been battling for years. I wish i could find a happy medium so i can sing and play. This is probably a lot of lead singers don't plat instruments while singing and performing.

[@jod6cindy]

I love female belters with rich and round vibratos, especially when they stay true to a song's melody and don't use runs and riffs. I wish that kind of singing didn't go out of fashion, but it seems like it has. I love your work. Thank you, Ken.

[@clockworkalmond1032]

I’ve been in a choir since age 7. I’ve learned how to sing soft and in unison with the others. Now (at age 18) I have a Jazz/Pop/Rock vocal teacher and I’m discovering so many different layers of my voice! It’s great and I’ve made so much progress in the last year! But I have a problem with taking my chest/mixed voice higher, I’m just not used to it. I hope it’s not too late to learn how to do that. At some point it feels like I’m Kermit and choking. So that’s why I’m here. I’ll definitely try these tips (not that my teacher isn’t enough, she’s great! but I feel like it’s research or homework that I’m doing), the shouting one is a really good start! I’ve never thought of it like that. So thank you I guess for all the videos on this topic, I’ll check out some more! I‘m also apologizing for any grammar mistakes, I’m not english.

[@kentamplin]

It's not too late to learn at all. The sooner you do get started, the better, but you will eventually go a long way towards your goals if you just get started and resolve to keep going forward.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Jeff!

[@orangeflower2797]

Thank you so much Ken! So I started working on my singing in February this year, I'm doing it basically on my own and these videos helped me a lot (I'd buy the course if I could but I can't right now). I'm aware that there's no one controlling what I'm doing so I'm very careful of course. I'm much more confident now and I can belt out about half an octave higher then I could, and I'm controlling my highest notes a lot better, and my voice stopped cracking. I know you can't master singing if you never had an actual singing class (I only sing in a choir) but you sir are amazing, no one before ever told me that for example you know maybe I should open that throat so it doesn't hurt and I don't end up not being able to sing at all you know? I'm looking forward to finding a coach in future, if not you then someone else who knows what they're doing, but until now, I'll just keep on practising... and not trying to do things I'm not sure I know how to do properly.

[@kentamplin]

You may find, as many others have, that doing my home course, along with guidance from the students areas of my singers forums is the best of both worlds. You move at your own pace, yet have interactive feedback on how you, as an individual, are doing. Most universities have shifted over from brick-and-mortar buildings to online degrees. You get access to world-class teaching, without having to travel or pay for remote housing and meals, and have guidance when you need it. No other coach has the information or knowledge that I have from my personal experiences and training.

[@MrSilenthair]

Please allow me to talk about my first impression about this video. Your speaking voice is so beautiful, I thought you must be from the choir but somehow look like a Rocker. After 2 mins, I start to think why this guy talk a lot, not like the other videos on the internet, they will give exercise very quick. However because you say you are the King of Belting and your voice sounds very beautiful, I keep watching, when you grab the guitar I thought you are gonna start singing or exercise. But you didn't until 3 minutes later, LOL. But once you start the exercises and demos, I was surprised! It is really easy to do it by following your guide and I enjoy to hear your voice either you're singing or talking. Thank you for your free lesson to let me learn 'bout belting. I was using it but didn't know. Your explanation helps me to do it in the right way and sounds better. Every second I watched this video is worthy, the similes are necessary. I shared with my frds and start watching other videos from your channel. I LOVE your version of "She's Gone". Really appreciate for your sharing. Bless you!

[@allisonfoye5003]

Call register sacrificed at the alter of the high note... WOW YES! 10 years of vocal training it was pushing the highs higher and tone and breath control but no learning how to sing THROUGH low to high. My voice has been parked in the garage for 20 years because I could sing up high and way down low but nothing in between so I thought I was just not "talented" or "built" to sing the songs I wanted outside of choral/classical music. I'm trying to tune the car back up I have some hope I can actually learn to do this.

Great info! You really know how to break it down to better understand, like playing an instrument with your voice. Incredible!!

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for your kind words, Marco!

[@VeriunxAnime]

My goal for the next 2 months is to buy your Singing Program. I wish I can buy it faster, but budget is tight for the next few weeks. I have this burning passion for singing, but I really don't have the techniques to execute it well enough. I'm starting to think that maybe improvement is a possibility if I took your course. You're really inspiring Ken.

[@Bmihmsamitoz]

This is a great video! I am actually an Opera singer and trying to shift to Pop and belting is definitely a new world to discover! thanks

[@kentamplin]

Glad it was helpful, Cathy!

[@fuzzywuzzy588]

I played the violin for yrs was pretty good ,so i do know you have to practice and do scales always .

[@kentamplin]

All forms of music require practice if you want to really improve!

[@PrincessNinja007]

I just got moved from Soprano 1 to Alto 2 (long story). There are no words for how much I need this video. Haha when you can't hit the high C everyone's just like "yeah, yeah, but how loud can you get?"

[@kentamplin]

Ciara.Chaya- Glad the video helps!

[@kentamplin]

Awesome! Rock on, Ethan!

[@emilyeah]

Once again, BOOM! 💥🙆‍♀️ Ken, you really are THE BEST 🔥 forever greatful I found you 🙏🏼

[@henrymetzger9951]

I just want to say, I had no faith in singing until a couple friends told me I could sing the genre's of music I grew up on well.... Your lessons are helping me tremendously. I recently had a friend tell me i pushed the beginning of a word too hard "which is the headnote right?" You are a great teacher....I'm sure i missed the video explaining it, but why do you hold your tongue out like that, is that a practice thing?

[@suiseiuchuno7381]

I wonder too

[@JB-qc1kj]

Hi Ken you are my inspiration for not giving up on singing. Ken, I am humbly requesting that you do a video on “how to sing like classic Geoff Tate of Queensryche and Todd De La Torre formerly of Crimson Glory and currently of Queensryche”. I’ve watched De La Torre nail all the old Queensryche tunes seemingly with out strain or fatigue. He seems to sound great with minimal effort. I’d like to know “how” it’s done as it seems different from pushing the chest voice timbre upwards blending with head voice. The vowels seem different and if you can’t show how to do ir then maybe it can’t be done...

[@loricrockett-owens5117]

I was catagorized as a mezzo soprano in voice.

[@faymyrie8556]

FAY, thanks you for taking the time to tell me what you like about my channel and my videos. That is very thoughtful of you. I'm glad you are finding value in these lessons, and I hope it gives you joy and pleasure as you notice your voice getting better and better from following my instructions. Stick around.

[@kentamplin]

Thank you! Will do!

[@iamfre3713]

You're so committed to what you do. I love it❤️

[@sarahdewitt29]

Hey Ken ! First of all: I love your videos ! Second: Do you know the bands Shinedown and Halestorm? Pretty sure you do. I would love to know what singing technique they use and what it’s called when they .. kinda .. it’s hard to describe this sound. It sounds like when you clear your throat. It’s a very deep and strong sound. Listen to Shinedowns cover of Simple Man. (When he sings: “...you love and understand”) or other songs, he does it all the time. I am so impressed by this and I really want to learn this technique, I can only do this (in the slightest way tho) when I’m not swallowing and there’s saliva in my throat but it feels not right. Could you explain that? A video lesson (someday) would be awesome ! Keep rockin 🤘 greetings from Germany

[@KenSherman]

Do one from _LP_ (Lincoln Park). Any _king of belt_ should find songs from this group perfectly satisfying.💯 👌🏽😁

[@ravilabdrazakov9111]

You are singing how David Coverdale !!!👍) Great Woland and Bruce Lee !!!)

[@kentamplin]

[@tina2010hao]

[@sandravalani359]

[@AntonSimperMusic]

Again after seeing many of your podcasts and integrating these small treasures... Im thinking I should just join up and do the whole course... I have to speak a lot during the day and its getting a bit better that my voice isn't warn out by evening time singing! Thanks again!

[@kentamplin]

I think you're right, Anton. No sense in piecemealing your voice. Do it as a whole. Build the foundation solid as a rock and then keep going.
