Learn How To Sing For Guys - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy

[@THEEArmoredSaint]

I sang professionally for 20 years and a lot of this came naturally to me at the time, but I stopped singing regularly, started smoking sadly, and my voice had been seemingly lost. But, after only one session with Ken Tamplin, I feel like I can not only get back to where I was in my late teens and early twenties, but probably be an even better vocalist now one year away from 50. I didn't see this coming! Praise God.

[@Dani-ELmaninnoboxes]

Sometimes the damage sounds better like when I hear a homeless man sing without front teeth feel that pain like 50 cent with the bullet!I bet u sing just fine

[@automachinehead]

when I was a teen I could sing hard and in fact sang for a cover band and we played judas priest and psychotic waltz hitting note for note almost perfectly all the time even while smoking heavily. now in my 40s, I couldn't even hit those high sustained notes anymore even though I still sing regularly in my spare time when my children and wife are out. I'm physically fit like Ken Tamplin, no longer smoke and I seldom drink alcohol but the drive is no longer there. must be a youth thing that your blood is boiling all the time and wanna go wild without a care in your body.

This is pure gold. I have singing classes for about 1 years, this is absolutely the foundations of a good singing. Always when I feel stuck in a technique I go back to those foundations, and it works.

[@kentamplin]

Wonderful!

[@stephaniesallie8968]

I agree with you

[@davidmorgun8870]

Very helpful technique! Reminds me of speech level singing taught by Seth Riggs who also trained many vocal stars

[@acehigh71]

As lead guitarist in my band I am always encouraged to help out with backing vocals as our lead singer can hear something that I obviously can't. I've also had 'fans' say I can sing too but still haven't taken the leap. Your videos are really motivating me to really learn to sing, just like I learnt to play guitar.

[@JohnnyRawks]

My first tip to amateur singers is: Warm up! Just that alone will get you from a lousy useless voice, to something much more hopeful. It's really quite amazing and very few amateur singers know about it. We do a lot of karaoke and people will come up and ask "I have trouble, how can I sing like that", and that's the first thing I ask back. "Are you warm when you sing?" and they'll go "huh?". Warm up the voice before singing.

[@kentamplin]

I agree, John! Warming up is a MUST! Click Here for great instructions on how to warm up your voice: kzbin.info?search_query=ken+tamplin+warm+up+

I have come across a few vocal coaches that have their own schools and KZbin channels. They all have great lessons and beautiful voices…. But, I have to say this for everyone to hear. Ken Tamplin makes all these amazing vocal coaches look like a 3rd grade choir performance.

[@improvementTime10.3.17]

5:00 diaphragmatic support is what’s gonna help with relaxation response so don’t start mounting tension in throat 5:18 open throat technique/lah bright ping is to build clarity in tone in throat to build resonance/ natural volume Then build muscle memory for strength endurance range pitch etc Prob the switching between vowels while keeping open throat relaxed muscle memory 21:22 build chest w lah bright ping Must be built correctly to then build passagio and head To have consistency with notes and everything

Thanks! I'm close to 40 and my anxiety about singing in public has always held me back. I took some occasional classes in my country, but NO ONE gave me so much courage to continue. Thank you very much.

[@elusiveeskimo3013]

When I get in that place of fear and anxiety, which I still do at times. I remind myself of the lesson I learned while watching turtles. They can only move forward when they're willing to stick their neck out. And then about how, by my risking sticking out, I've now been able to experience my music bringing joy to others. To see their inner light shine, as smiles fill their faces, because I've been somehow able to touch them in that moment. May not happen overnight, but well worth the journey to get there. If you have not already, I hope you get to experience this at least once in your life. But getting there will require sticking your neck out, stepping forward when you want to stay hidden away in your shell. Also, when starting out, spoken words, sudden sounds and movements from your audience, may distract you while you're trying to sing. Especially when already dealing with anxiety. I found that practicing in front of a TV, it's sounds and screen action competing with my singing, helped me learn to stay focused on the song I was singing, get past this challenge. Good luck. Enjoy your musical journey.

I’m *just* getting started on my singing journey. I’m one of those that hates the sound of my own voice. I have friends who are pro recording artists/vocalists, and that’s also incredibly intimidating. But…I recorded 2 vids (both upped to my YT) for one of them to critique, and the kudos and positive feedback have been incredibly encouraging. I’ve rewatched the better of the two vids I recorded about 50 times, and I’m starting to *accept* my vocal tones…don’t like my voice yet, but starting to not hate it. Picking up KTVA 2.0 this week, after I get a pre-sales question answered. Hopeful, and excited. Up the irons!

I've picked up things here and there, but never taken any lessons. Just kind of sing for fun over 10 years. It's interesting to see that with a better understanding / application of concepts how my singing marginally improves almost immediately.

[@MrRobertcarlson]

Unaware of my disability related to motor controls in the brain, when I was a kid my mistake was to give up hope on any voice training at all. Now that I'm older, I realized, it could have been overcome. I studied music all the way into college, never training my voice. So now I'm trying to take some baby steps to get basic foundations so I can have a better voice singing as I play music. Thanks for all your videos and tips and knowlege on the voice.

[@kentamplin]

Glad they're helpful! Rock on!

[@tdmullens02]

Mr. Tamplin, this is excellent! As a 63 year old drummer/singer in a local classic rock and blues band, I appreciate the training and techniques to advance beyond being an "average" vocalist. As a baritone who always wanted to be tenor, it is helpful to learn some new exercises and techniques to help expand my range and give more vocal sustainability. In addition, your teaching style is very open and engaging. Thanks again !

[@clubmidnightsun]

Wow! That was fantastic. I was a singer as a kid, always in the choir. But when my voice changed I also changed schools and they did not have a choir. I lost how to control my voice, off pitch many times maybe even mostly. Now I am 63 and what I feel I do have is resonance, little bit of confidence and drive. I can see how this will help.

[@davewanamaker3690]

He is a great teacher. Everyone needs this foundation-me more than anyone. My goal is mostly to be able to carry a tune in a bucket without driving people to the exits. It would just be nice to sing a little bit along with a radio.

CLYDE HOLLY took it to a new level vocally for me when I met him and got hired (keyboard /back vox BILOXI band) in Biloxi Mississippi in 1995 when he relocated from L.A . I didn't think at age 51 that my vocals could suddenly drastically improve, thank you sir, these lessons you provide have reinspired me vocally and the improvements and understandings of my voice and singing in general are blowing my mind.

I had a couple wonderful vocal coaches back at McNally when they were around despite one of them didn’t do much singing himself. The other was a heavy smoker and while on pitch and melodic she was good, not great but she went through the vocal exercises perfectly and it was life changing. She trained me just over two octaves and I could’ve probably gone further. I was a Tenor just scraping into alto and sang Don’t Stop Believing. The hardest song I’ve ever worked through. Any tenor ought to understand this. She was the first person to tell me I had a beautiful voice and I immediately wanted to take her home, lol. Joking aside similar techniques to yours and you’ve reignited my desire to bring back that voice. Thanks Ken.

I loved how you made an effort to connect and let us know about you right off the get go. This is the first step I'm making towards trying to sing and I wish you were here to thank. You explained everything so clear and it was fun in the process. I can't believe the difference I can feel in my voice just after 30 minutes!

I've played bass and guitar in 4 bands over the last thirty years and never sang.

They were both backup/harmony singers in the bands and were awesome but I just couldn't keep the pitch or the breath. This one simple video has me (in three listens) better than I ever thought I could be just because it's so simple and straight forward. I'll be back for more as time permits. I'm not in a band anymore but I still play and write music for myself and singing would be an awesome addition. Thanks so much for this video lesson, Ken. Oh, as for the lip drill, there's a Green day video documentary with Billy Joe Armstrong walking around doing it.

I am a guitar player first,have been playing since I was 11 years old officially, in unofficially since I was about 6.

[@MrBlackCoffee96]

I thought you just started learning!

[@DkayAllDay1]

28 min into this video I went and applied it to the hip hop song I'm working on and it went from clearly not knowing what I'm doing to a hit song for real! I'm confident that its only up from here! Thank you Ken

[@ExiledDeku]

I've got my voice lessons and coach 3 months ago, she is really supportive and knows her stuff.. Still got problem with intonation but my hearing is "waking up", making progress slowly and this video helps a lot with warming up and clearing my mind. Thank you 😄

[@tito.tarantula]

Tip #1: Support!! Eons ago my aunt (an opera singer) would give me vocal lessons and constantly poke me in the gut and say "From here... from here... you must sing from here!!!" 😂

[@АртемГірман]

Solid Foundation that I needed. I just did not know how to approach the voice training and here your vid is such a life saver. Thanks for sheparding the dark and spreading the pure gold knowledge.

[@vikramdias5496]

Appreciate you Ken! Just starting from scratch with your classes! I used to sing in 2nd-5th grades and sang throughout my life in church choir and than at work at several festivals. Over the years, I have found a desire to unlearn and relearn my vocal skills as I have aged 😅. I love to Karaoke 🎤 and do that a bit more consistently over the past two years. I have karaoked at many different cities at awesome pubs, clubs and taverns where there happens to be a professional DJ. I also sang with a live rock band this year in Atlanta and got a taste of my range. (Wichita, Atlanta, Memphis, Philly, Nashville, Nola, Orlando) happen to be my favorite singing spots so far. I have also been “smuling” with folks around the world and found that exhilarating, just from the experience itself. I am looking to watch your YT videos and continue to learn and grow through your channel. Just came back from watching Judas Priest and Queensryche in concert at Southaven, MS and I must say (Rob Halford, Geoff Tate, Todd La Torre, Bruce Dickinson, Lajon Witherspoon, Dave Mustaine, David Coverdale) are my all time favorite vocal singers.

[@hapexamendar1093]

This was so fun!! I had just figured this out on some karaoke songs I was practicing. Practicing that transition is definitely HUGE! This exercise wore me out in 30 seconds!! Not accustomed to so much back pressure! I look forward to conquering this video.

[@philiplombardo249]

I’ve been a guitarist since 1993 and I’ve always wanted to sing my own songs. This video series with Mr. Tamplin has been useful, informative, and encouraging. Thanks for your teachings!

[@kentamplin]

My pleasure, Philip!

[@isaiapanduri6003]

I don't sing, but I follow your videos and your job anyway. They're very interesting. Hi from Italy!

[@kentamplin]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@fayzewun1268]

i told someone i started doing these lessons. she said whoever is teaching you is teaching right. she has some background in singing. but the proof is in the voice like you always say ken! hahahah

[@flo5146]

Would be Glad if you could make a series out of this where you explain different importan concepts like this step by step, because, as you said, there is a lot out there in KZbin but actually not much where they really explain those things in a logical context.

[@kentamplin]

I'll keep that in mind... By the way, I do have a vocal course that teaches all of this... kentamplinvocalacademy.com/

[@zummo61]

Boy do I need this! I am generally ok singing into a mic with a band behind me, but actually projecting into the air is intimidating.

[@musicman59753398]

I'm not a singer, but I'm a music fan. I've enjoyed watching your videos. I never thought I could sing, probably because I don't know how. I'm learning basic guitar and all I want is to be able to sing around the campfire and not make the wolves howl. Or maybe sing and play a song to a lady friend (;

[@kentamplin]

You can sing. kentamplinvocalacademy.com/

[@georgeskhoury2290]

I havnt tried to sing properly since I was in choir as a kid. I've attempted to learn from other tutorials but wasn't successful. My voice would crack and pop it's pretty deep voice now that im 32 lol. The excercises where so easy to follow and your explanation was amazing I followed along and noticed a change even during this video less cracks as I focused on the support and tightening the stomach as I came to the end of the tune. Thank you so much ill definetly be practising these consistently moving forward and I look forward to checking out your courses. Thank you so much you're an absoulate legend!

[@윤수호-m7o]

I really love this Vocal coach, If you applied everything that you will learn to him in his basic lesson video trust and believe me, his lesson will ROCK your voice! I am a beginner singer and grandpa lesson helps me a lot

[@kentamplin]

Grandpa? Rock on!

[@juancarlos8228]

I been taking singing lessons for 4 months had to stop going for pernal resons after a month of doing just this i can feel the inprobment thank you very much teacher for shering your talent good bless sorry my english in not perfecto lol

[@funkmaistro]

This really helped me understand how to use the diaphragm and how it should feel. This is the best video without a doubt out there thanks to you explaining this simple and showing us how it should be done! Thank you so much Ken for your great lessons!

[@kentamplin]

Glad it helped!

[@ohkaiboon4893]

most of the singing channel they just teach the shortcut which isn't really growing vocal range, but this foundation it helps me a lot

[@epost1978]

U are the best Ken.....thankyou for all you do

[@kentamplin]

You rock!

[@theresamarasco7948]

I do love your instruction and your reviews of singers. I send my daughter your videos. She has a beautiful voice and I wish she would continue to pursue perfecting her talent. She had a great voice coach as a teen. My daughter has a huge lack of confidence. Sending her all of this information.

[@luccamattera4481]

Ken, do you ever think of composing new stuff? Really like your music.

[@kentamplin]

I'm pretty busy with teaching these days. I'm glad you enjoy my music, Lucca. I do have about 40 albums out, and have written a lot of music. Rock on!

[@Str8Reckless63]

Craziest thing, I lost track of time and couldn’t believe 30 minutes flew by. Mr. Tamplin you have a gift 🙏 and I am thankful to have randomly come across this.

[@mikealburkholder1061]

I appreciate people actually dedicated to teaching others their craft

[@MsPatrickx]

I am a beginner in choral / classical music and I am amazed at Kens detail and careful training, thank you Ken you are a gifted teacher.

[@VictorBulario]

Brother Ken, just came across your channel for the first time today. Wow! I could listen to you teach your art for hours, you had me fully engaged and performing those exercises with enthusiasm. Love how you thoroughly explain the process. What a difference, from relaxing the neck the throat the use of the stomach it all came together like a fine-tuned orchestra. You impressed me my man! I think I'm going to start referring to you as the Charismatic Vocal professor! Great teacher!!

[@Nakashook]

I taught myself. I still got a long ways to go. I practiced in secret. Quietly humming to the notes on my guitar for about a year before I opened my mouth and sang do, re, mi, etc😆 Then 2 years after that, I made a couple videos of me doing "In The Pines". Then I got cocky and hurt my vocals doing "Like A Stone". But I could hit that G4. Now I'm healing. I need help for sure😆
