Will Just Singing Scales Make You Better? Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy

[@jastinduck1339]

I am grateful to God that I accidentally found Ken's video channel some time ago, even in small videos, there is a lot of valuable information, these are grains of gold, let those who have ears hear. I believe that Ken is the only one who teaches rock singing technique academically. His students are simply incomparable, and he himself sings great))))))))))))))))))))))))) Thanks Ken

[@kentamplin]

Great to hear!

[@highmtnx]

Ken's vocal course is a LIFE-CHANGER! I took many singing courses before I found KTVA and was always disappointed and felt like I had been robbed. I'm so glad I found the course that really works! KTVA! The free KZbin videos are indeed grains of gold, and the course itself is absolutely what every singer needs to become the singer they have always wished they could be!

I heard it much longer.Greeting to his cousin Sammy Hagar.Watched him also teamed with Guy Fieri,cooking broadcast.Even Guy on his own.Even 80s slim version,Sammy's quite a guy.Ken,cover Van Halen "Good enough".Saw now Eddie(RIP) guitar lesson at Smithsonian.Greets Guy.

in just one month of doing the course “how to sing better than anyone else 3.0” my voice changed drastically and i now have a beautiful and strong vocal tone and a high vocal range am so proud to be a student of KTVA

Love hearing that, Emmanuel! Keep up the great work!

In my college days, when I sang for a band I didn't know anything vocal warm ups, so the band always started with several Loverboy songs-which was my vocal warm up. Years later, when I took vocal lessons, scales was warm up. Tenors and sopranos in choir always had more of a warm up because of the wider range we had to cover.

I use Ken Tamplin advices about 3 years a and works it. Others musicians sing and play on guitar, for example about half hours. End of song is without clapping. After I take guitar and sing "Have you ever seen the rain". Follow surprise and applause. From it I guess, that I sing better than anyone else....😂

The KTVA program continues to produce results for me and I am only on week 7. I noticed this past weekend when I went over a bunch of songs that I have more air at my disposal than before. I can do longer passages. Songs that were difficult last spring are now pretty ok. Also it sounds less shouty and there is less weight in the throat. I am beginning to understand how to negociate different registers and settings. Anyone who is on the fence - now is a good time to get the course. I have not seen anything like it. I speak a few languages but I have not found any other teacher or program that goes into the details like this. Not in English, Spanish, German, French. Certainly not in my native Swedish language.

[@kentamplin]

Awesome!

[@danielecasabianca]

Helpful as always. Thanks.

[@priscamolotsi]

Ken Tamplin you are the best! I remember buying a course from you years ago, to train for a huge concert I had. My singing went through the roof 😍! I still use some of your techniques but with Covid lockdowns and restrictions here in Japan, I have been unable to perform live for almost a year 😢 . I am certainly going to buy your new course. You keep on evolving and getting better. You may not know this, but many a time your techniques saved me! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏽 🎶!

[@Polarcupcheck]

Its funny, the timing of this video. I have been about 5 days back into re-training my voice from a 4 year complete layoff. 1st day: Just trash. No power, no feel for placement. 2nd day: I need vocal exercises. Lip bubbles, Nay, mum, gug, good, sirens, cuperto, etc. 3-4th day: Range coming back. bottom and top end expanded quick. Ability to place and hold notes came back. Today: tried recording some real song lines I used to do. Everything was off. So, I recorded the exercises. The exercises sounded like I thought they would sound except for the "Nay." They sounded like weak chord closure and too little support. Not having any of my old recordings on hand, the process has gone like, "Damn. Weak (thought that at least sounded moderately strong). That sucks. I heard worse. Not too bad. Aren't I supposed to hear vibrato fading there? I don't hear anything. Maybe I was never able to do that part good. Eh, that needs more support. Oh, wait, I need more pitch there just when I time that. Hey, that sounded about right."

[@lasse0201]

I absolutely love your honesty and passion Ken. You have so much knowledge to give, and you do it in such a nice and easy way to understand for asping singers like myself, without it being to technical and hard to understand. :)

Do they still call a "First Soprano" a First Soprano? I sang First Soprano in Jr. High and H.S., seems as I have gotten older, my voice struggles getting to that high soprano pitch. I can hit the low notes. I'm using your tools/lessons to help get me back up there. Thanks Ken.

[@thesohamsingersongwriter]

[@nightfallkittie]

Hey Ken, thank you so much for always putting out valuable knowledge. I have one question though: I've been learning singing for a year. A few months ago, I had no problem with singing simple legato and staccato scales. Then I stopped doing them, instead, I focused on singing songs and songs, without sounding pitchy, hitting the right notes. It did improve my breath to some extent (I don't run out of breath during the song anymore), I was able to apply some basic techniques (like how to avoid cracking from chest to head, vibrato, apply sustained notes: ofc they are not perfect, but I started to get a sense of it by feeling the sensation of my body when I was applying the techniques). Then, a few days ago, I tried to re-sing some of the old basic scales but kinda struggled to do so when another person is playing the scales (when I play and sing it myself, then I can get a hang of it). It's like my breath felt weak and strange doing it but I don't find singing songs as hard. Does it mean that I got worse? Or I lost my singing foundation? Thanks a lot, Ken.

[@jimmyteriyaki9783]

Can you make a video on how a guitarist can transition into learning how to sing

[@mynameischaku]

I personally think vowel modification is really only necessary at the range extremes. A more conversational vowel usage is pretty relatable and the amount of character that you can get from vowel diversity is greater if singers don't all lock into say an ahh vowel. If you were to take someone like Johnny Cash for example (or any huge number of character singers) they would sacrifice aesthetics and relate-ability if they were to focus on ping, brightness, or getting more nasality that's likely necessary to get those high notes. I don't think a singer has to sound like their a teacher and you might be selling yourself short if you think that's all you can teach. But both singer and teacher have to understand that certain vowel strategies might get a certain sound. As a middle ground, is you could probably teach the vowel strategy as an option for when approaching the limits of other vowel strategies. There's no real reason why Johnny Cash couldn't hold onto conversational vowels but be taught how to do a few high notes or screams as long as you were both on the same page, that if he were to exclusively use the technique you discuss it would change the character of his voice. If someone has a different vowel strategy from speech, culture, ethnicity, artistic reasons, etc. It's the limits of physiology at the range/volume limits. Certain vowels and vocal postures just won't work at certain ranges/volumes, but if it works in another context, it can still be on the table.

There's a lot that goes into singing. It's not one dimensional. Scales are for beginners. I agree that you need to do these technique right. Watch out for coaches that are doing it wrong. Watch out for to good to be true results.I have been gifted with a really good voice. This is other people opinions regarding my voice. With the wrong coach can have the potential to ruin your voice.

Singing is strange. You're supposed to open your mouth. Some sing from the back of their throat. B.J. Thomas " barely " opens his mouth. James Taylor and Springstein sometimes too. Many people sing with a closed mouth. I guess they just sing a lot and figure it out their own way or are natural born singers
