Ken is the best vocal coach on UA-cam.
Wow! Thank you, Carlos!
I’ve been listening to coaches online for years. But when I found Ken I quit everyone. This guys info is gold So genuine and The proof is in the singing. His girls are amazing. And the best part is that those girls never thought they could do some of the material they are doing. It can happen and I’m convinced I can and will successfully do STEELHEART Never Let You Go
hands down,, i totally agree .. i know a nice lady from New Zealand. big notes. she is cool. Ken is King of America
And all of your advice is completely true I know it for a fact I try singing while I exercise and it really opens up my voice especially when I run I have range still but I do notice the tension and pain in my throat after singing just one song
17:44 An idea for the title of that stream could be: How to sleep better than anyone else.
Okay, this guy is the only music course on UA-cam worth following and taking
We are getting a master class from someone with an Encyclopedia of knowledge for free all by the simple click of a button. Seriously Ken your generousity with this knows no bounds👍👍
Wow, thanks!
The fact we also get scientific knowledge
waffle man 👍
Scientific claims should be backed up with refers to credible scientific papers and studies. I'm not saying Ken's information isn't backed up. Just saying that in general there are lot of ppl on internet claiming to have scientific information without refferring to any specific articles :)
@@Deviliumrei eh
It's common enough that most people know
That was the premise of the video anyways
Of course it may get debunked,but eh
I love how much you talk about vocal health. It is so important and I don't hear nearly enough vocal teachers talk about it. I myself suffered from primary muscle tension dysphonia so no damage to my folds or anything but it took years of training with a teacher who was well educated and knew what she was doing to get my singing voice where it is today and now three years later I can sing 100 times better and I don't suffer with it like I did. Vocal health/hygiene and proper technique are so important so thank you soooo sooo much for talking about this topic it is extremely important and so helpful.

I know this comment is 2 years old, but hopefully you see this. I've been trying to find out what's wrong with my voice for over a year. My ENT says I have laryngitis caused by acid reflux. He gave me antacid pills which didn't help at all. I also raised the head of my bed. Now he thinks an esophagus band is necessary to stop the reflux. Is there any info you could give me from your experience? I want to trust my ENT, but I don't think I actually have reflux.
Do you have any music videos out? I would love to hear you sing.
I smoked pot so this is another contributor to probably my situation but this is a timeframe specifically to what I said before about the mold and one that started
I woke up two days ago with almost no voice and I Started doing this tutorial after I found it this morning and my voice has come back extremely quickly!!
"Start with a good diet".

Hello
Master Ken.... Glenno here from Philippines..
Hey there, Glenno!
What about warm ups before an exam?
Great video. Learned alot from you, thank you🙏
Thank you so much, man!
greatest man on earth.. greatest show on earth, dude i love you’re attitude. Australia..
I can tell you’re really good instructor and I would love for someone to work with my voice I already sing I already know how to sing but I did realize a lot of strange in my voice ever since last year and I was having actual mold problems in my apartment and I was living there for several months before I was actually able to leave do you think perhaps that that might’ve had something to do with my vocals they haven’t been the same since but your exercises to healing the voice did help bring the information down I have nasal drip I can feel in the back of my nose in the back of my throat all the time consistently and my throat hurts to sing so I try not singing but I need to work on it again because I am an artist that needs to put her out there what is your advice for me if you can reply to me please and thank you so appreciate it❤
Love seeing your commercials on many vids on utube. Great seeing your info and people reacting to my posts saying your awesome. Glad to see people know about you. Hang tough and keep singing.
Thank you, CeeCee!

Hi Ken, from France ! Thanx !
Hi Dominique!
fan here from the Philipines! i learned a lot from you. Your such an excelent vocal coach!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for your UA-cam channels, I learn a lot.
I have just discovered you on UA-cam! Thank you so much for providing such excellent material on these videos.
Ken you are awesome my friend thank you for everything you do and all the info that you share it’s always very helpful, you rock!
Thank you for mentioning the coffee issue! I did not know it could do that! I drink much coffee. So I'll cut that down!
Good luck, Forthcoming of the Voidstar!
I gotta say. Love your vocal course! I can now tackle many things I did not do correctly just because of ignorance. Glad you brought this into the world. I do NOT regret getting it for a single second. Greetings from the Netherlands!
Thank you for great tips, god bless you! I was suffering from vocal polyps and had surgeory to remove it. I am a low baritone singer who had never take care of essencial things like diet but after this tips i will do my best to get better. Thank you for priceless tips and greetings from Croatia!
Thank you for the long winded explanations. I was getting seriously irritated with how my voice is awesome one day and completely sucked the next no matter how much I warmed up or did exercises. Thanks again for all the information you keep giving us.
Ken ! We love you, in France !
Thank you, Dominique!
THIS IS THE TEACHER,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, LEARN,,,,, he can do it,,,,,,,,,,,,,cheers,,,,,,
Cheers, Davide!
😍🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤much love! Keep up the great work Ken.
Great video. The only thing I'd change is that air con dehumidifies the air which is why it dries you out. There's enough gas transfer between inside and outdoors that you don't have to worry about gas buildup unless you're in a basement or some other lower than ground place where heavier than air gasses can sink to if there isn't proper ventilation.
Thank you so much for the tremendous insights, sharing your experiences on the job, and for your vibrant shining spirit. The proof IS in the singing. Big Gratitude
Wow, thank you!
Love your advice Ken. Your so correct, you can also sit mushrooms in the sun, later eat the mushrooms, our body is able to absorb vitamin D .aside from sun on our skin, I don't think D supplements absorb literally into our body .same with B12, supplements , waste of time unless iron and folic acid levels are sufficient.thankyou so much for this video, I'm inspires..less sugar, less coffee, less dairy for me
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us😃your videos are not only informative and usefull, but also fun to watch and that’s not easy to find✨👏
So nice of you!
Great real-world advice
Glad you think so!
A bit late onto this video but it was amazing, All of these tips are things that I try to impliment and have helped me as well. One thing i would like to say is, if you have a hoarse voice or your voice is tiring and these tips aren't helping, go to a voice therapist or specialist or a highly trained teacher. They will be able to find issues behind this as well that you won't realise. For me this was jaw tension linked with tongue tension which led to throat tension. Also if you love your coffee, try going to decaf coffee and then slowly going down to maybe a cup a day.
Thanks so much ken.
Thank You Ken Senpai you are awesome
You are!
Great live stream Ken thanks for explaining this people man
You bet!
Thanks man
Meant to say explaining this to people
Thanks for sharing ken
My pleasure, lets jazz!
Looking forward for more tips and advice :)
Long life, lets jazz.
Ken thank you. Because I'm new to your channel and I'm liking it alot. I'm going to be looking for a voice coach. When I was in my 20s I had a good voice teacher. There's days when I'm good and other days when I'm not. Thank you for having this channel!
Best of luck, Gina!
Watching this video ken, I want to learn a great range voice coming from your tips. Thank you.
You can do it, Reminisce!!
RightOn man! Your rant was and IS appreciated! The content here was great! Didn't realize the importance of exercise/strength; it made sense. Also the need for hydration and the effects of caffeine and the emphasis on good health. Didn't make the connection to singing. (uh...Duh!) Thx for the warmups; I did them w/you and felt 'The Buzz'! Groovy!
Thanks for watching, Louis B!
u r a genius 😉
👍💜😀
Great video Ken! I was wondering if you could do a reaction on Robin Zander? I'm cheap trick fanatic and he never gets any love! Stay safe
Have you seen this one, Jeff! ua-cam.com/video/5CrLM4y-7-s/v-deo.html
thank thank you so much, I'm worst culprit of caffeine, coffee, ect..I'm trying to better, I appreciate all your videos, your like the black belt sensai' of vocal performance.
big props 👏🏾!🎙😎👊🏼
May the Lord protect you always.. be blessed and be in health Sir Ken. Thanks for sharing...
Thank you, Ismael.
THANK KEN😁NOW I KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE MY VOICE
Happy to help, FELIRIOUS GAMING!
Alissa White-Gluz has masterful clean and but is known for her Fry Vocals.
Thank you.
Would love Ken to analyse her !
Great vid!
Any chance of a vid about your guitars?
You must have a solid collection!
Thanks for the suggestion, Jon!
Fantastic information. Do you any thoughts on using Oregano?
The word you're looking for with caffeine is "vasoconstrictor".
Talking in lower tones during the day helps although it’s hard to remember
Rock on!
Great information! I've learned a lot by watching your very informative videos. 🙂Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
And thank you for doing reactions on Dimash! 👍
You are so welcome!
Here are the promised notes from the live-stream :) forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com/discussion/13627/notes-from-how-to-care-for-your-voice-no-brainer-tips/p1?new=1
I will be updating them after dinner, (fixing spelling errors and formating)
Thank you, Olivia.
I actually have problems with eating plant based proteins, so I have to eat like slender meats like egg, chicken, pork (I cut away the fat) and it's all produced in Sweden and free from antibiotics. If meat is inflammatory, can't a healthy regime of exercize, ginger and tumeric, along with lot of fruit and vegetables, help conquer the inflammatory process making it neutralized?
I really listen to you and appreciate your advice. I bought a crosstrainer to become more fit - work my caridovascular system as well as my muscles at the same time. And I can use it watching your livestreams or movies or whatever during the same amount a time, so the exercize in itself is worked in into the schedule. It makes training so much more accessable. So that's my tip for a lot of people around the world that has to stay indoors, or works a lot. Have a go-to-exercize that you can do anytime you want. That way you can just do a little to keep the blood flowing every hour, like 5 minutes and hour. If you do 5 minutes an hour, at the end of the day it will be like 60-80 minutes alone. If you then add doing 15-30 minutes watching your favorite series on Netflix, I think you'll be on a good start. And if I can do it, I am sure almost anybody can do it too.
I know that you know what you are talking about when it comes to singing. Really loved those gentle warm-up exercizes for the morning. I will definately try that.
I think everyone's system is different. It seems that you're very mindful about your diet and aware of its affect on you. Great, helpful suggestions. Thank you.
funny u mention the humming. I work in a loud factory and do this during the day before i do your workouts. This works amazing!!!!!!

Hi! Marloves here from Las Vegas!
Hi there!

Thanks, Davide!
You're awesome, love your energy and knowledge, been singing professional since 1967, new vegetarian, love it. Will go the distance to improve.. Have a decent range my bread and butter voice is my falsetto, but want a cleaner stronger natural voice... My stage name is Kevin Avon... Thank you.
Awesome, Kevin!
Do you notice the diet helps the vocals? I am halfway plant based. It’s so hard but I feel great when I eat clean
Sorry for the such a long messages but another thing I noticed in my voice was that when I get to a certain pitch that’s really high it just stop sounding so yeah let me know if you can help me or if you think that maybe your course will help I already know how to sing and I know how to useall your tools I just want to know if those are the right tools for my situation
Wow dont know why but the beginning of the video felt like you were doing Some kind of impression of Somebody. My apologies for thinking that. Just saw my first video of you and I instantly subsribed.
All good, Quinten De Bruin!
32:01
14:45 True true story...Dokken was here a couple months ago and Don sounded good...but everything was an octave+ lower than his original range. It was kinda sad. =(
That's too bad, Matt!
and how to take care of your EARS too would be very useful :) Thanx Ken !
Eh? What was that? Thanks for your suggestion, Sephane!
so many of us have had their ears hurt with mixing with earphones, or something like that and after its too late. When you dont have the choice you might make mistakes, so lets put the sound as low as possible unless we have to and do it only with monitors, and not for long. We only have one voice, we only have 2 ears !
Ken, I have turned 60 and I used to have a good voice but the worst is when in Joburg Biking Church I have a little bit of a problem of playing bass guitar and keeping my mind on some of the riffs and sing at the same time. Just wished I knew about you a few years earlier. What is the length and price of a course from you? and being stone broke at present because of investing in a company (jewelry manufacture) and the owner passed away so the estate lawyers grabbed everything,
.and for 15 months I have been fighting in court to at least get my money back to pay the bank back on the loan I made to purchase the company. Now I have terrable threats from the bank's lawyers almost daily. I would just like to know where you studeo is in America.
Awesome video Ken! I’ve been singing for about 2-3 years now with a really good teacher. I’ve gotten better but have lots of room for improvement. I follow just about all of your advice from this video: lots of exercise, good sleep, nutrition, staying hydrated, limited alcohol. But every so often (maybe once or twice a week) I lose crispness, clarity, ease etc. I can still sing, it just feels harder. I’m wondering if its vocal cord inflammation. My vice is that I drink 1, sometimes 2 small coffees per day, but I also drink almost a gallon of water per day. Could the coffee be causing this? Or is it more likely a fatigue issue. I practice singing for an hour almost every day. Thanks again!
These kinds of questions can be answered cover on my free singing forum forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
That's interesting about the air conditioning.
AC has always annoyed me.
If I do turn it on I will keep it at 78 unless it's really hot out.
Scott Tovey 👍
@@kentamplin 😎👍
Scott Tovey I’m an automotive technician. I don’t think he understands how air conditioning works....
@@jacobdionne4334
He understands enough to understand that AC dries the air and in so doing; does affect the hydration of the body and therefore affects the voice.
For some people that affect may be miniscule but, for others it is major.
For me, AC set at 75 degrees is annoying enough that I will wear a light jacket to keep the air off my arms. Yet the majority of people, do not have this reaction to AC. So an individuals underlying health will play a role in just how much AC negatively or positively affects them.
Scott Tovey I’m talking about how an ac system works, not how it affects the body:
So recently I went to the ENT doc because my voice has been hoarse with alot of extra mucus for past few months. It caused issues with middle, falsetto and head voice.He ran the scope and said my sinuses are good, no polyps but the back up my throat near esophagus was swollen. He put me on prescription pepcid saying I must be having reflux at night. I went to primary and said my symptoms aligned with dysphonia. He said watch what you eat before bed, put me on pantoprazole and said hopefully in a month acid will reduce and inflammation should go down. What does it feel like? kinda like you a little chest congestion and most of the symptoms of dysphonia. Now mind you I never have done much vocal warm ups (i know i should I am getting older) and been pushing my voice to hard so prob my fault. What do you recommend from your experience?

Before I discovered your channel Ken I was watching that other vocal coach you mentioned saying he's the best on the internet lol it didn't take long for me to realize he was mostly selling smoke
The proof is in the singing.
56:00 -
Afraid of starving? This idea comes from the fact that the standard 'food' patterns of modern people tend to be bereft of nutrients and jacked with all sorts of questionable chemistry. Thus one's hunger is never satisfied. I've been dialing in plant based whole food for over 20 years. It only gets better. I find that when my food is nourishing and high in nutrition I can go without food longer and not feel hungry, or spaced out, or weak at all. This gives my tubes time to rest between work loads. The mitochondria work their little asses off every time we eat. And when whole fruits, seeds, vegetables provide my cells with all the materials to build their houses in a way that doesn't easily fall down in a storm, plus good fats and carbs to feed the mitochondrial workers who put all the stuff together, and take apart the broken pieces, they don't constantly scream for something else to eat.
Blueberries, pumpkin seeds, apples, oranges. Yum. This instead of candy bars. Even most 'nutrition' bars are jacked with sugars and chemistry. Lara only has nuts and fruit. It's one of the only ones. Go Raw is another. Organic might be more spendy, but again if you eat nourishing food your cells aren't constantly screaming for something else to eat. Also, me no doctor. All this comes from my own experiments on myself.
Hi ken, can you react to dimash Kudaibergen’s diva dance and drunken concubine duet.
Thanks for the suggestion, Stefan!
Ken, would you say great vocalist who smoked cigarettes
Like Robert Plant. Freddie Mercury, Joni Mitchell , Jon Anderson did not reach their full potential or were they so good and were lucky?
Who could know?
@@kentamplin I guess I could simplify it and ask based on facts, does smoking have an individual effect on vocal chords?
Would you say a drastic change in habits can actually make your voice state worse? I drink energy drinks regularly. A few glasses of water at work and a tea or something similar and then when I get home I like a can of energy or a soda. I do have a dry voice pretty quickly, but when I decided to drink 2+ liters of water per day my voice instantly dried out at rehearsals and I had to stop singing after half a song. I returned to soda and it worked again. Do you recommend gradually changing out things like these and diet so your body can adapt to it?
After watching 4 more minutes my question was answered hahah :)
ken i dont if you'll see this but at least i'll try. i've been singing for a year and half now and i still struggle with tension in my throat. i've tried so many things: always support, keep my throat open, articulate, lots of water, putting a pencil between my nose and my upper lip and try to sing/speak "above" the pencil. sometimes these things seem to work but at the end of the day i keep tensioning.
maybe i'm doing something wrong? i don't know what else to try :(
Are you doing my course?
ua-cam.com/video/VIWWOYyuj5I/v-deo.html kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
I can't sing from my upper register of my voice ( maybe due to some tonsils)and my vocal cords crack crack sore and tired after singing and also tell me what should I consume to clear my throat and to open up my high notes very smoothly and comfortable

Ken, How many days should I train my voice to get better?
Edit: Please reply me Ken. I need answers from you.
You should train daily. For as long as you plan to keep singing.
@@kentamplin Ohh, I was training 5 days a week and I thought that was enough.
@@kentamplin Won't it create a problem training daily?
I mean voice also needs some rest.
What do you think about it Ken?
I KNOW MANY celebrities have had to sing while sick w cold/flu...you’d better have those tricks in ur bag if U wanna be a pro singer.
I drink 1 cup of coffee every morning to give me some energy for work. Should I stop drinking it to take better care of my voice? I DO want to become a professional recording artist someday.
Caffeine causes dehydration. If you're going to drink coffee, or anything that dehydrates, i.e. alcohol, coffee, tea, sugar, you need to make sure you are replenishing with plenty of fresh water.
Ken if someone practices for 2 years almost everyday and then stops practicing for 1 year, will all that 2 year practice go to waste and return back to how it was before practicing?
You won't know unless you try.
@@kentamplin an answer I wasn't expecting but quite satisfying
one of the singing teachers says there is no need to do singing exercises. he says you just have to practice singing and the rest is unnecessary. what is your opinion about that?
Can he demonstrate what he's teaching? The proof is in the singing.
I hear nutty pot is good for sinus infection.
you mean neti pot, Al?
If u can sing for hours without ur throat hurting, (or go hoarse) does that mean ur singing with good technique ???
Not necessarily.
I wanna hear you're records

Is milk too harmful for vocal chords?
Dairy causes mucous. Mucous is no friend of a singer.
I'm 39 mins and I can say there is not a single vocal couch out there at your level. Not 'the honest vocal coach', tristan paredes and all of these other randoms that pop up. I do enjoy sam johnson but hes more intellectual, rarely posts vocals tho.👍👍👍
Thank you so much, Tyler!
Rant On! So much BS out there. Ken's the real deal.
Thanks for listening! Rock on!
Lol was talking about 30 day singing courses are bull crap and THEY ARE bull crap by the way in my opinion also been singing since i was a kid it takes allot of practice and care to sing properly and not damage your vocal folds and or chords!!! but that being said what ad pops up in middle of the video lol how to sing in 30 days flat!! 😂😂
