- How To Sing A High Note - Head Voice - Chest Voice - Mixed Voice - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
What makes “High Notes” High? Are you trying to learn how to sing high notes?
Is it a ladder we climb, step-by-step on our way to Mount Everest to get to that “one more” elusive note?
I am going to suggest something to you that may sound crazy, but it’s true.
In many sports (and singing is like a sport), it’s not how we are able to “muscle” our way to the top.
Let’s take golfing, for example:
You have the little guy who is able to hit a golf ball 200 yards further than the big muscle guy who tries to kill it with his club.
The little guy makes it look so effortless.
In soccer, Lionel Messe is only 5′ 7″, and yet he is able to kick further and often times run faster than players who have a whole foot of height on him.
This has to do with the “snap” or “spring” of his step and kick. This is true for the golfer and even the runner as well.
So it is true with the voice.
It’s not that we “power ” or muscle our way to high notes. It’s that we understand how to leverage our technique, like the wrestler who is able use his leverage to take down someone 100 pounds greater than he.
Once we understand that our voice is a muscle, and it works in a similar way, we can use our technique and leverage of other parts of the body, like diaphragmatic support, correct vowel modifications, and release valves (relaxation responses) to help us achieve our ultimate goal.
I hope you enjoy and benefit from my life’s experiences as the “vocal athlete” who has seen, first hand, what it takes to accomplish this.

I watched your tongue every time you sang- especially Celine’s song and your tongue placement is key, I see.
A Renee Hunt 👍
I love how you're in such a good mood. It kinda gets everyone watching in a good mood too 😂.
You just got me in an even better mood! :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
There is no coach better than Ken Tamplin. Been on the course 2 and a half years now. Still feel as enthusiastic today as I did when I started. Thanks again Ken.
All the best.
Thank you, Wayne! Glad you're still feeling the magic!
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy haha absolutely
Did it work tho
@@johnnichols4609 absolutely works. You have to keep doing exercises, but that's what it's all about anyway. Just like an athlete. Ken is the man.
@@johnnichols4609 i cant get into the course cz the money ya know, but hell with the free videos i can hit quite high now its great
I'm a baritone (who can sing into tenor) and have a strong and fairly high falsetto, but I think this is what I was missing... thank you, Ken. I'll absolutely be checking your course out.
"First do it In falsetto, and get use to the ease it felt when doing in normal voice" this worked like a miracle man! Thanks a ton! :)
Yes. There is no need to force chest voice. Chest voice can grow if you go about it correctly, Adam!
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy that's a great advice, it did help me while jamming with my band but is it possible to sing high notes without going loud or falsetto? (Like when I sing in my room I can't go very loud) Thanks for replying :)
This is one of my favorite Ken Tamplin tutorials. I'm not a professional singer, just someone who enjoys karaoke. I don't usually sing high pitch songs, but this tutorial helps not just with technique, but gives me confidence too. One time I even realized singing in my natural voice, that I used to do only in falsetto.
I had the breakthrough of my life today, that head voice feel you speak of, allowed me to dump the weight, and effortlessly sing higher!
It was an incredible feeling to sing that high, and not be dragging my chest voice!
A tip to all you beginners out there, don’t make the same mistake I did, do the exercises, warm ups themselves won’t be enough, if you’re struggling to sing higher!
Sure, you’ll sing a bit higher, and you won’t be as tense, but you won’t be mixing properly and singing high as effortlessly with warm ups alone!
Learn about your head voice, get down your mix!
Once you unlock your mix, it’s going to feel weird at first, your whole approach to singing high will feel different, but, it will be easier, much much easier!
Engage your diaphragm, focus on your vowels, just like the man says 😉
Also, just to add!
I can belt high in chest voice, and now I’ve learnt to mix well
Both are extremely reliable!
totally agree. as soon as you THINK you're gonna eat your note... guess what's on the menu....
I find i hit my high notes when i focus my mind on having a strong physical performance over a perfect vocal performance. that was a MAJOR break through for me
Your approach to the note has a lot to do with how you will sing the note.
Same. When I relax and just flow I get better range control
The note about starting out in falsetto is legitimately really good advice. I didn't do that when I started singing, and I wish I had. Actually I wish I had a better falsetto in general lol. But YES. Definitely great advice there.
God bless internet to have such a voice coach!
Thank you, and God Bless all of my friends out there that I reach through the internet! Love and blessings to you all!
Thank you Ken. I am keen on Tim & Jeff Buckley's voices. Would you please release one day one video about this father and son?
Nice suggestion, MrLousifine! Thanks!
I've never felt like crying when watching a youtube video before... I, a 'baritone', have always doubted myself and never ever have been able to reach high register notes.... you just hit the nail right in the head with this... thank you Ken.
Don't cry, Jose, Sing! Don't doubt yourself, either. Grow your voice. You can do it!
This guy researched, analyzed and developed techniques on singing and his musical inclination exceeds most. Jesus, even his snaps at 2:53 are perfectly in time, he literally has a rhythmic beat while doing it. Top notch instructions and an overall wonderful person, you can just tell when someone is a pleasant person to be around, Ken fits that bill.
evilcowboy Wow! Thanks for the kind words!
I took "chorus class" in high school... (Back in the 1990's) Its refreshing to see the same type of guidance, tips, and lesson type videos you provide Ken. Thanks for review !
I'm glad to give you a reminder of things you know to be true already, Melissa. Thanks for your comment!
really refreshing to see such a positive and optimistic/kind singer/producer trying to help other musicians - usually people protect their "secrets" and talk down to people so they can remain 'special'
I was classified as a baritone too, and after 10 years of singing lessons, I'm now singing in a 70's rock band, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Deep Purple, everything comes natural after I approached it with the right technique. Keep up the good work!
Nicolò Arcuti Fantastic!
Loving your lessons and tips Ken! They are very in line with everything I was thaught, sometimes when I'm unable to see my teacher I mix your exercise with hers, my range is always expanding, what I thought of as two separated voices before (chest and falsetto) have now become one continuous stream of breath and notes. Rock 'n roll from Italy man!
The proof is in the singing, BRAVO Ken!
Agreed, Carranza Music!
Im a male but I want to sing like Celine Dion.
Me too but that isnt gonna happen for any of us is it
@@kleibuzo5734 it can happen if you work 24/7 for years
My friend,we are all made unique in our own way,just practice and you will see that you can sing very well,don't imitate those singers,i hope that you don't get mad at me
You absolutely can. Just keep learning!
I really do think being born with it is a huge part of it. I have been practicing singing high notes my entire life, and I can juuuuuust barely hit the notes in "My Heart Will Go On." And even then, it's only because I have a naturally high-pitched voice. Because I'm a tiny, tiny, child-sized man. There's a video on my channel if you're interested. If not, cool.
This "visualization" technique works for just about everything. We psych ourselves out of so many things.
"Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."
So true, Will!
I totally agree with the “give yourself permission” point. A large part of expanding your range is a psychological battle. If you think a certain note is hard for you, then you’re gonna have a HARD time singing that note. But if you truly believe that you can hit that note without hurting yourself, then you’re eventually gonna figure it out and hit that note without trouble.
The last 60 seconds was worthwhile. Sing the high note in falsetto and gradually connect more over time.
No need to push further than your voice is ready for. Just get to the note, and develop it gradually, over time.
Imran Hussain that was also my thoughts. .- he is not singing the way I do...then suddenly I got to know why!,,, great stuff.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy oooohhhhhhh
I do face the problem of hitting the high notes perfectly. Whenever I try to sing a high note, my voice changes to falsetto automatically! Please help me.
Have you watched this video, Haaris? ua-cam.com/video/tpd2eCrQWIE/v-deo.html#t=0
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy not yet... I'll watch it. Thanks
Haaris Shah me too :'o
I once had a ignorant, untrained friend peg me as a baritone based on my speaking voice. I am a woman! Great video, very informative.
Mine too
I sang like Bon Jovi after I tried this voice exercise...
Lmao
If you mean 1983-2000 Bon Jovi then God bless...
Can't win 'em all.
The old cool bon Jovi or the lame mr. Mellow bon Jovi?
Please do a video of How to sing Always by Bon jovi
I've been in the music business for 60 years - worked with the biggest and the best - and YOU are amazing!
Man, I’ve heard so many people talk the talk about singing but it’s exactly as you say. You need to hear how to do it and then practice.
I’ve learnt so much from you,thank you.
Thanks Cuno Faday, That is great to hear!
literally love your videos so much! I remember watching my first one a few years ago and instantly subscribing
Yup, my vocal teacher always tells me to first practice high notes in falsetto then gradually build more power, I used to doubt that :)
hieu nguyen your vocal teacher gave good advice haha.
yeah, that's what my vocal coach told me as well
and it has helped
we started on Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
When i got to the 2nd Verse where is goes high (never cared for what they do, never cared for what they know) i used to struggle to hit those high notes (but i could just get there in falsetto, but not in natural voice)
after a while my falsetto strengthened (and i really felt my throat get beefier) i was also told by freinds that my voice (normal speaking voice sounded different LOL)
but then i found i could hit the high notes in natural voice
then that strenghtened up
NOW .. THAT PART OF THE SONG DOESN'T EVEN SEEM HIGH ANYMORE
i then used to do things like
In A Darkened room - Skid row
All My friends are Dead - Skid row
Harvester of Sorrow - metallica
Now That We're Dead - metallica
at that time when i used to do in a darkened room at the end (Please let there be liiiight in a darkened roooooomm) i would really struggle
I CAN NOW HIT THAT COMFORTABLY and with good control
harverster of sorrow is not longer a big effort
and the others are pretty cruzy as well
so yeah, it's good advice, THAT REALLY FUCKING WORKED hehe
Cool shit huh
Thank you so much Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy! You are awesome!!!
This is so true, most youtube vocal coaches don't give enough attention to how much the high notes anticipation limits vocal range, they all talk about vocal tension without addressing the root of the tension. You are so awesome, never have I subscribed so fast in my life 🤘
Han Vo, thank you for subscribing, and for letting me know. You are someone who knows what you want when you see it. I'm just glad you found me. You are hungry to learn and I am someone who teaches what I have learned the hard way. You will learn a lot with your great attitude. Welcome to my world! 😊
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Thank you, it would have been an honor to be able to learn from you personally. Too bad I don't currently have to time or the budget to do so, my life is still a freaking mess, so I guess I have to settle with your youtube videos for now. Hope that didn't disappoint you, I really do appreciate your work and your passion, and hope that I may cross path with you one day. It has truly been an honor sir. Keep on rocking 🤘
Han Vo, I'm just glad that you found me. It doesn't matter whether you can ever buy my course. You can learn a lot by just watching the 400+ free videos on my channel, and you will learn things that you'll never learn anywhere else. Time and money can be hard to come by, and we all just have to do the best we can. I'm serious about your good attitude being a great thing to keep you learning and pointed in the right direction. You have the ability to recognize the truth when it is before you. Many lack that quality. My free UA-cam videos are made for people like you who appreciate them and take what is given, and use it wisely. 😊
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Thank you sir, I will definitely put these resources to good. You are amazing.
You are a very symphatic and relaxed guy. I's a plessure to listen to your advices. And even as a provessional singer a lot of them where helpfull, especially when it'sabout mental issues.So thank's from germany and keep on singing/teaching.
Thank you, Michael!
Pleasure*
"...I've been known to sing a high note or two in my day." Haha you're great
The sheer amount of wisdom this guy has from all his experiences is astonishing
I love to watch you breathe! Because of you I was able to sing my first Journey song all the way through on key. Love ya!
Thank you for the tip! It amazes me how you overcame the F# "barrier". I'll use that approach to achieve one more semitone with my voice.
Alain Jove Rosales 👍👍👍
Fun style of presentation and useful information -- thanks so much!
Thank you! (love nutellla...)
Your finger snaps are so inspiring 😜and so are your lessons 😊
And the ‘reminding-one’s-self’ thing........ that’s a great lesson
When i was in elementary i was a baritone..thenthere was one time i heard a friend of mine singing slowly and not too loud faking her voice but was able to hit high notes and i was surprised . that was the exact time i discovered the falsetto..i keep using falsetto since then over and over again. Then due to overusage of my falsetto i notice imy diction became clearer as time goes by coz my falsetto has a mix of chest voice eventually.then hitting the high notes i discovered my headvoice. ....now i was able to do balance mixed voice.and i already forget the baritone..now i realized i find it difficult to sing a very low notes because i have different voice range now..even im a male i always hit female key .and im happy for the outcome...your video tutorial reminds me of how my voice was before..haha.....thumbs up...
4:00, you're welcome
It's important to listen to all of what he has to say.
I liked the soccer story :)
It would to clueless ...sometimes listning is the greatest gift any musician can possess
Ian Eblin the story definitely puts you in the right frame of mind before receiving the information
Thx man....smh this guy
Omg I’m so amazed with how much information you have. I used to be able to hit high notes but feel like I damaged my voice because I was never taught how to warm up my voice or even how to control it. I’m really sad that I didn’t have the proper guidance but hope to see more videos in the future on damaged vocal cords. I’ve heard there is no way to repair them but hope to hear your perspective on it. Your Chanel is amazing and hope to see it grow!!
michael valenzuela I think you still have a chance. Have you had an opportunity to check out my vocal course? kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
Another great free video Ken, your course is the best out there by far!! Thank you!
Thanks, Tim E!
Thank you much for this video...it was very helpful, and a confidence booster! 🙏🖤✨🎶
Awesome man.
Thank you, Nicholas!
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy:-) Hi Ken question here. Need help for singing softly at the higher end of chest voice. Ive got a decent mid- low range and a good head voice. I also can sing in another register which sounds like you are letting the air out of a balloon. Is this a whistle tone? Anyways. I can bark low and belt high. My weak spot is when I am stuck singing the notes around the same F# for example in and around Kansas Dust in the Wind. I choke on "close my eyes" been trying that for years and I choke on my vowels. Any advice on how to practice this and lose some of the tension without sounding like a dying animal. Thanks in advance
Is it fine to sing louder as you go higher? For an exercise or warm up, don't we generally keep it the same?
Thanks man
Jesus loves yu so much
Amosr Ryngkshai I know!
AMEN! 💜
I will come back and listen more. Long video but good info! Thank you.
Easy to see that this man loves to sing. Can't fake the love. Kudos
Rock on!
amazing information Ken, thank you.
Thank you, Carlos!
This is so helpful! Just went up almost an octave! Not quite up to your highest note yet, but with your inspiration I smashed through my highest note by nearly a full octave! Thanks for these great videos!
Great job!
Your videos have changed the way I sing praise songs from the stage.
So many details and techniques in singing.
Thank you for taking the time to upload these.
You're welcome, Tim!
Thanks for the stories and instruction Ken. You've lived a very adventurous life!
You're Welcome, I AM Z!
I couldn't go into head voice or falsetto when I first started to sing and my teacher told me I couldn't get into the choir. But I practised for hours every singe day and I reached it and after a month my teacher was praising me and said: how the hell did you do that? You sing higher than all the girls. This was when I was 12, now I'm 20 and I can still go to my highest notes and I even go higher, because I had determination. It really is a matter of setting your mind to it :)
Great story, Dragan! The mindset is half the battle. Then comes the techniques.
Did you try the same practice
This channel has been so helpful for me. I did a Broadway adaptation of Hair Spray and I had Motor Mouth Maybelle as my character and this was so helpful to hit every note and do it perfectly!
That's great! 😀
I love how you break things down ken...your an awesome teacher! Thanks.
George Hembrow- Happy to hear that!
Ken you are everything! Im soaking in all your content! Thanks for being amazing!
You're welcome, and thanks, Dino!
The fach system is a system designed specifically to determine repertoires and roles for singers according to their voice type. Being a 'baritone' does not mean you're not allowed to sing notes above F#. Also, the fach system is used to categorize types of baritones, tenors etc. The fach system doesn't define you as 'baritone', it defines you as 'Lyric Baritone' or 'Heldentbariton' or 'Kavalierbariton' etc. Basically, the baritone that sings Don Giovanni, is probably not going to be the baritone who sings Nabucco or Rigoletto. The point is that fachs are extremely specific and extremely specific to opera. Being a dramatic tenor (for example) holds no significance outside the world of opera. Also, fachs like 'spieltenor' aren't even based on range or weight. It's based on acting ability. Also, most operatic baritones are expected to have a range from roughly the A below C below middle C to at least G above middle C, although most baritones will have up to the A above middle C (yes, even dramatic ones). Some baritones like Joseph Shore and Leonard Warren (from various accounts, though no confirmed recordings exist) have high Cs and Ds (Joseph Shore's high D can be found on his channel). Also, in the world of Italian Opera (which is definitely the widest repertoire of regularly performed opera) interpolated high notes, be it from baritones or tenors are mostly appreciated greatly. (Basses get the same appreciation for super low notes).
However, the music written for baritones (in opera mind you) rarely goes above F# or G and rarely goes below C below middle C for the reason that that is where operatic baritone voices sound the most beautiful, expressive and homogenous. I mean, even the categories tenor, baritone etc. are basically meaningless outside of opera. Who cares if Steven Tyler is a tenor or an alto? He can hit the notes he needs to. He doesn't have to sing in a specific tessitura: he sings his own music and can write whatever the hell his heart fancies.
Dude,
Instantly subbed,
I had tough time singing intervals but man thank you..
Welcome, kiba! Great that you found the channel! Stick around for some great music and vocal tutorials!
What an inspirational intro! Yes here in my country, our fields also have those double rugby/American football goalpost and the smaller soccer goalpost!
Thank you for this video man you are a really good teacher!!!
A bit of an understatement there in the start "ive been known to hit a high note or two" - made me giggle. I cant hit high notes myself since puberty, but let me tell you a funny story since you seem to like stories too! When i was around 12 me and my best friend joined a choir Just so we could be with a girl we had a crush on. We were the only Boys in the choir and took it seriously to impress the Girls. We ended up becoming quite good and the teacher wanted us to sing one verse each of this song about david and goliath(Christian Norwegian song..). We learned it and as time passed we had a gig at a school gathering and we got noticed by a priest that wanted us to sing in his New church. Teacher was proud and accepted the gig.. Turns out it was the opening of the New church in Åsane - the one built after "Greven" (count grishnak(?) from the Black metal scene in Bergen, Norway) burned the old one. So we ended up signing solo, nervous as f..., on National TV in Norway and let me tell you we were the most popular Boys in school after that! I got to kiss the girl a lot :) my first crush.. Thanks for entertaining videos with a lot of fun stories and facts Ken! I joined ur website and if i ever focus on singing(i love playing guitars..) i know where to go for online teaching..
Great story, Tor!!
Please let me know what topics you would like see videos about your voice! Song requests accepted, too! Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE! :-)
There's a vocal technique that I have not been able to do and cannot find how to do it because I'm not sure what it's even called, but in the song "Losing My Religion" by Shawn James, in the second verse he says "I think I thought I saw you try" and when he says "thought" and "saw" his voice does this thing with his voice that the best way I can describe it is that it sounds like his voice breaks a little bit but in a good way. I know that's a bad way of explaining it but if you know what I mean could you please refer me to something I could do to learn how to do it or could you post a video on it? Please and thank you!
Thank you so much Ken. I love your videos and had benefit so much! You are so good to explain a vague idea into something that can be imagine and visualise, which make it so much easier to understand. Really appreciate it!
You're welcome, Shermy! Glad you are able to follow the concepts and expand your knowledge of how all of this works.
I'm having too much fun singing and this is one of my favorite vocal coaches and I listen to his vocal techniques over and over again and I can use them in singing
07:21 rip ears for headphone users
I can sing Dragonforce's songs comfortably after watching this video. Thank you so much
That's great!
Wonderful advice. You are inspiring to the max.
That, sir, was an absolutely excellent video! Nicely put about the body closing the note off.
Thanks, Metalbass1979!
The wave analogy?!! #GOLD
Don't dwell in the strike zone.
Also I have a thing where i can see really well if I play the song while singing it and often I end up how to put it(You know when you reach the same sound as someone else does and it creates like a vibration that kinda sounds like a different not) and it sounds good but the second I try karaoke by myself im all over the place...
Oh wow, did you ever hit the nail on the head! Relaxing is key. I used to go to karaoke a lot for about 5 years (until I moved to a burg that HAS no karaoke anywhere!) and I would occasionally sing "Faithfully" by Journey. I did a good job with it until the very end - those last couple of 'faithfullys' were always *just* beyond my reach.... until I decided to accept that I wasn't going to be able to do it. Since I figured I was going to blow it anyway, I stopped worrying about it. This had the opposite effect - and made me relax my throat, chest and diaphragm, and just have a good time singing the song. Once I got loose and stopped worrying about it, I hit it!! I hit the notes! It was glorious!
pegbars Awesome!
Great instruction - super approach-ability and immediately practical stuff.
Very affirming style of instruction. Love it.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Baron! I'm glad you're enjoying the lessons!
Being British, when I hear the term 'soccer' I find myself automatically going 'grrrr, it's football!' Having said that, even though the rest of the world says 'football' that term means a very different sport to you guys in The States. Ken, having you ever watch any rugby?
Hi my friend im getting a lot better. in my singing watching your videos over and over again can you do country tone lesson for us please
John, thanks for request, and I'm glad you're getting better from watching these videos!
Your stories are seriously so helpful, relevant, and entertaining!😁
Glad you think so!
That was a really concise and effective explanation!
I hold my hand out in front of my body when singing a high note (for me--a contralto) and I lower hand slowly as the note gets higher. It helps me to sustain without going flabby and falsetto. It's a mental trick I use. Or I slightly lower my chin.
Rock on!
..
Sì, mi piace Bel Canto fatto in uno stile Maniacale ... Molto bene !
I really enjoy watching your video's Mr.Ken ...i learn a lot...thank you so much😉
You are the most informative and helpful singing coach i've ever come across on youtube
Thank you, Axl!
I'm a baritone who is about E2-G4 in chest on average. Been watching Tanplin's videos lately and today I was doing some exercises in the car and got up to a B4 (no falsetto). Still trying to comprehend what just happened.
Hi, Ryan. You went with the flow. You relaxed into the exercises, and you've probably been doing them for a while. They work.
thank you for your advice now I almost know how to sing bon jovi's songs
I'm not an expert, clearly Ken is and i'm not being a smart arse
but.....
i do agree with ken
I'm also a Baritone like you
i also do exercises in the car .. like you
quick little story
one day i was in the car driving , and i was singing a song (can't remember which one) i was relaxed focussing on traffic and singing and going around a roundabout
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN.....................
there's this movement in my throat
it was like WHAAAAATTT T HE FUUUUUCCCKK WAS THAT
it was fucking weird, like a fish or something moving around hehe
Weirdest feeling i ever had in my life
i almost had an accident because i didn't know what was happening hehe
now what happened was
BECAUSE I WAS RELAXED , VIBRATO CAME INTO EFFECT
i used to try and create vibrato
i didn't understand the concept that it's air passing folds of skin(or tissue if you want to be specific)
and THE VOCAL CHORDS HAVE TO BE RELAXED FOR IT TO HAPPEN
Funny shit, huh ?
then..... just like you
i used to love to sing (and still do ) 80s metal
Metallica , Skid Row etc
YOU DON'T GET HIGHER UNTIL YOU LEARN TO RELAX
i always make a habit of doing my exercises in the car before any singing (it's now at a point where my exercises are viewed upon as the first 4 songs that i sing every day )
and i consider them boring and therefore i relax through them
like ken said
you relaxed, AND IT HAPPENED
and you've probably been doing it a while
therefore
YOUR VOICE STRENGHTENED
YOU INCREASED YOUR RANGE
i had that happen as well
i could hit the high notes on Nothing else matter - metallica in the beginning of my training
then , give it a week or 2 and i could
Now... a year later, IT'S NOT EVEN AN EFFORT (well.. it's a small effort) but high notes are not about pushing harder, High notes are about LEARNING TO GET YOUR THROAT MUSCLES IN A POSITION THEN JUST SITTING IN THAT POSITION AND USING YOUR DIAPHRAM TO PUSH AIR PAST THE VOCAL CHORDS
IF YOU LOOK AT SINGING LIKE
- I'm just positioning my throat
- then i'm just passing air past the chords
instead of
- I'm going to push harder to get higher
- You'll learn to relax
- You'll learn to understand that you either CAN put your throat in a position
...........OR YOU CAN'T
if you can't, you just practice doing it
in the beginning , you can get to a range where SOME NOTES work and others sound like shit or even break up
What this means is
Your vocal chords cannot vibrate at that frequency just yet
so.. just ease into it slowly, take your time , let your throat go through stages of practice, then strength build up , then rest then repeat all that over again, eat the right foods, drink water, take care of your throat, listen to your throat when it doesn't want to sing anymore and give it a break
and in a little bit you'll find that you'll be hitting notes higher and higher
THAT'S WHAT I DID
My average notes are E2-G4 too. Now you motivated me to try his exercises
Thank you for your little story. Very helpfull... i just started singing some aerosmith stuff not easy but defenetly possible as a baritone like me.
So I'm a REALLY low bass and I was just wanting some more elaborate tips on high notes if at all possible. Thanks!
Really great question for the forum. Please post there, beneath "General Singing". Other singers will benefit from the reply and you will receive great feedback from either myself or one of my commentators. It's free! forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
I'm not gonna lie Nik Hoecker! The only person I can find lower than me is the temptation guy of Silent Night! I practiced the low notes so much I can't hit any high notes!!! I sing loud from G# 2 to G# 3.
Ken Tamplin, hero of way more than just vocals. Cheers!

Same here it sucks
Thanks for the lesson and cool stories! Definitely something I will seriously consider as a singer!
Thanks, Gary!😊
Hi! I just want to appreciates your videos. I always follow your advice. I love journey songs and last year I can't hit those high notes in chest voice. Last Saturday I can now hit them by practicing your exercises! Thank you very much!
Im also a baritone... have a very low talking voice, can do some drives, avoid falsettos and I also like to sing a variety of styles, from Freddie Mercury to Dee Snider, from Andre Matos to Whitfield Crane, from Mike Muir to Mike Patton, from Ted Neeley to Blaze Bayley... am I wrong?
You scared me when you picked your guitar and sang that high note. :D
I should have warned you.
Asako Nakhro 😂😂😂😂😂😂
there was also that high G
Amazing instruction. I love how you break it down and this hit me and my challenges square on target. Letting go and going after it. Great stories of soccor and surfing made your instruction relevant and fun. Great job my talented friend.
Thanks so much Keith. Appreciate it!

If you blow chunks and she comes back, she's yours. But if you spew and she bolts, it was never meant to be
Fantastic as always Ken!
I watched this a couple of years ago. At that time I heard Kens example and thought, no way. Today I’m here and believe I can. Thanks Ken for the great visual. My old tag line.
“Those that believe they can, can because they believe”

I can play a mean Guitar, scales and all, but can not sing a thing :( I am going to try at 52 years old, our Church dont have many singers:( I dont even know where or how to start, I sound so bad! I subscribed and will just keep listening to getting ideas.
Just Me- I also have a free vocal forum where you can ask all of your singing related questions and get great feedback forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com
When you started the high notes, my cat reacted and walked over to me.😆
Kathy Woodsum 😆
I love your videos! This one really helped me, I was choking out of fear, when I started not to think about how high the notes are, it was clear, and much better, so THANK YOU.
I'm so glad it helped, modestynina!
I've always seen myself as an ok singer who can " knock a tune out " if need be , lately after applying just a few of your techniques and a bit of practice friends are telling me I am a really good singer and are impressed !! We are all involved in a lot of stage work and music so it's such a boost .. I shall continue to watch and practice . Thanks Ken and keep rockin. Oh just to add I'm 49 years old \m/
