Demystifying singing first is a great approach to teaching.
People have biases about what singing is, where in a nutshell, it's 95% hard work, and 5% talent. Pretty much nothing but building that muscle memory and confidence. Most people can sing if they truly start figuring out how exactly to produce tones, phrases, etc. The problem is that a lot of people have no belief they can do it in the first place and they don't even try. Good mentorship can help you heaps. Great job with this one!
Awesome. Mate, I’ve played guitar since I was 12 and first heard Appetite for Destruction. One day when I was in a band I tried backing vocals and totally croaked. The whole band stopped. The chorus had a G4 and I strained and failed to sing above E4. As a guitarist i got really good and played gigs with bands, some who are now signed and opened for Bon Jovi, Foo Fighters….. but sitting with an acoustic guitar singing has always been something I’m really limited in.
I’m now 36 and I did some Googling and discovered I’m a basso profundo and can sing a G1 (no vocal fry) very easily.
I came across Ken Tamplin (his UA-cam channel) and discovered what mixed voice was and must have watched every video from every coach since then. And nothing.
Ps your impression of him is hilarious 8:27, that vowel approach is just a style of teaching. Nothing to do with finding mixed voice. But many $500 courses promise the world. And let’s face it every singing coach gives some hints, sings something in a Lane Staley/Cornell style then says it’s all revealed in their $$$$ course.
It’s refreshing that you’ve got no theatrical intros or super smiley, salesman style when you’re explaining things. Or just, randomly cover an entire song….😂
It got through to me that it’s a simple case of training up just like training to give a good speech, or training to bench press Xkg.
2 weeks of your tips and exercises done every day - just sensible amounts in the evening when I’m just doing what I’d normally do - no big expectations…..and I can deliver a good “in your house I long to be” from Like a Stone. A sound I’ve never produced in my life. It makes the process much better than any grand expectations.
The best, and most honest, singing coach on UA-cam. 👍🏼
Very kind man. I appreciate the feedback 😊
The overthinking aspect is spot on. It's clearly the #1 thing holding people (like myself) back. That fear of sounding like cringy crap is just so unbelievably huge. I forget who it was who said that the singer in a band is usually the one who just has the guts to do it. 🤣 I can see that being true in many cases.
On stage maybe but my drive tends to come from a deep inner desire and urge to express and create. I’m literally much more unhappy if I’m not answering that call to make things. Some people dig and really crave being on stage and getting that attention. I don’t. I personally don’t like being stared at but it comes with the territory and there’s no learning like there is on stage. You can practice singing for decades and then go on stage and be like… “oh shit… I don’t know what I’m doing” haha.
Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge with the world. I've started to learn to sing after being a guitar player for 15 years and getting frustrated by not being able to express myself fully in the instrumental songs I've always written. I've got a long way to go still, but your advice has already helped a lot.
😊😊
Duuuude same here exactly my experience
Thank you, Sterling! Good to see you again!
Excellent info. Thx for sharing. Wish I had this 20 years ago😊
Your insightful and tailored lessons have helped me to develop/understand vocal techniques and refine my skills. Thanks for your inspiring guidance and mentorship!
😊
Really like the part where you talk about returning the breath, really reminds me of mindful meditation
well exlplained, thanks Sterling really enjoyable and informative.
I keep feeling right below the solar plexus for that support and I noticed a lump. I panicked for a moment and then realized I sat a cookie there. The crazy thing about the way you teach this is the more relaxed I am, the better I sound. Watching other people sing something like Outshined I had always assumed that they were somewhere between stroking out and creating a diamond with their toilet muscles. It's a blast when I get all the stuff you teach working at the same time.
The cookie though hahahaha. Ohh boy. Thanks Wes!
Great message man 👏 appreciate a lot
these videos are awesome, dude. keep em up!
This is really really helpful
I tried this and my voice seem to take on a bit more of a whiney crying quality and was kind of a challenge to sustain notes. but it felt super smooth and easy, no tension in the throat and listening back the tone was smoother, more full, warm and resonant. Was a weird sensation as if it was putting on a voice but I think actually it is just my voice and what I usually do is imitation and weird affections. I think it highlights all the crutches I am relying on. Very very Keen to keep doing this exercise and develop the tone from here.
Thanks!
I would like to get with you on improving my chris Cornell vocals style. I need more work on his high notes like temple of the dog style
On chest i know what my tone, it gets harder to say when i go to high notes, because its not usually used so i dont know if it my tone or im doing some tricks to be able to raise up
Wow, you definitely sound a lot like Chris Cornell. Awesome.
This is a really useful subject. I am currently working on my "mixed" voice and softening it all down. I used to be a "shouter". I am terrible (or amazing) for copying artists. It happens without me doing it. Given those two issues, which should I work on first? I am playing with tones in order to find the most seamless scale up and down, but it constantly changes. ahhhhhhhh. Lexi, UK
Working on foundation and more regular singing to me is sorta separate from first trying to find mixed voice. I would think and practice them separately as they’re different muscle groups (at least at first). But I’d have to hear more about your voice and situation. I have a bunch of videos on this stuff 😊😊
❤dear Jackson saar , greetings where can i get one on one coaching from you. Please kindly advise
