  • I get asked all the time about the difference in vocal styles between Brian Johnson and Bon Scott of AC/DC. In this video, we explore the very different voices of each vocalist, what makes them great and how we can glean influence from their artistry to better our singing!
    How To Sing Like Brian Johnson - Bon Scott - AC/DC - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
    AC/DC’s album Back in Black was Brian Johnson’s first album as lead singer and was dedicated to Bon Scott’s memory becoming one of the best selling albums of all-time.
    I’d love to hear which AC/DC album was your favorite and why. Please share with me in the comments!
    As I demonstrate how to sing like both Brian and Bon, I’ll also explain the differences in their approach as we look at Brian’s more thrusty sound versus Bon’s more laid back, high range stuff.
    I’ll also break down how we can build our falsetto register to match the tonal qualities of our chest voice so we can safely achieve that belting sound.

    The demonstration concept your talking about is completely true. Guys, there are few of any who are able to actually do this stuff & TEACH IT correctly. Ken is giving you the goods here. It took me a while to understand how this works, but now that I got it… I can do it all day with no problem.
    Ken, how about a video on Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon? Or Perry Farrell? They are 90s era singers that really dont get their due. Both had incredible voices and sang in a similar style to this, but a bit lighter.
    Thanx again for the effort you put into these videos. Your That Dude 🤘

  • @michaeltreser1435

    As a professionell metal singer i can say that Ken is the only coach that really shows he can sing. All others i found just analyze it and talk about it. it do not sound like the original all the time but i think thats not the intention, it gives you the tools to sound the way you want to. I'm not beeing payed, not a fan or so it's my opinion. I'm German so maybe my english is not the best (and as well i have a drink right now) 😜 .

    Great job as always Ken! I'm no singer, although I did take lessons for a little while and like to belt some tunes out. I've never gotten very far when AC/DC came on and will take your comments to heart. Perhaps one day I'll get there with them.
    My teenage years (80s) were absolutely loaded with AC/DC and they have so many albums I love throughout the years. That said, there's always been something about High Voltage that stands above the rest for me. Top of my head guess, every song is killer, so much great rock and roll, but also bad ass blues in full force. Top 10 band of all time for me, for sure.

    @littleminna Рік тому

    I always used to think that this guy was forcing his voice in such an unnatural way, that I always had the idea that cannot be good for your voice, and this before I knew anything about singing. Personally I was never into rock, back in the day I was all into pop in the 80s and 90s, with the exception for Bon Jovi, always liked him. Interestingly I've grown to like some 80s rock, not all, some. But I draw the line at rock, heavy metal is really not my cup of tea. But I have to say that I found the tribute concert to Taylor Hawkins interesting. I've seen a couple of videos of it. Interesting was that this guy Justin Hawkins sang a number of songs, like the ones from van Halen. I honestly had no idea who Justin Hawkins was until I saw him once on the Masked Singer UK, where he was singing everything but rock. 😄 I had no idea he was so famous that he was asked to sing at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert with all these famous artists. Do you know him Ken? Have you heard the concert?
