- How To Breathe For Singing | Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
In all my years of singing and teaching there are many concepts that are very elusive.
Much of the information I paid dearly for was either incomplete, flat out wrong, or confusing at best.
Often times it was information that was just parroted by vocal coaches from some textbook or some other coach they had learned from without proving it out themselves with their own voices.
Understanding breath control for singing is certainly one of those uncompromising building block techniques that cannot be missed or the whole house comes crashing down.
One coach told me "take in big hits of air in the lung," while another coach told me, "you shouldn't mount too much pressure in the lung."
Yet another coach told me, "use more air" while yet another said: "feel like you are pushing your back muscles fanning out towards your tailbone."
This list goes on and on (and this is only for breathing, not to mention all the other essential components for singing).
In this video, I give a brief tutorial on what it takes to breathe correctly when singing.
I hope you find this video informative on your singing journey. :-)

This is one of the reasons it is so important for singers who move around a lot on stage to be in good physical condition. It's hard to breathe properly when you're winded.
That's right.
Hence the reason for Axl Rose's ability these days.

I have improved a lot after just binge-watching your videos for 2 days. None of the other vocal teachers on UA-cam worked this well for me! You are legit incredible Ken!!
Keep it up! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🥧
The goat ❤️❤️❤️
I went to med school, but after 2 years decided that I didn't want to practice medicine. So I left to work as a pharmaceutical scientist. The reason I told you this is that intercostal muscles aren't in the lungs. They are the muscles between the ribs. But they are very important in allowing the lungs to expand when we breathe. So you are right; they are critical to singing!
I have been struggling with singing this song for weeks now!! And just by being more aware of the things you just taught made a world of a difference!! The proof is in the singing
Cool!! Happy to hear that.
"Grandpa's been doing this a very long time!"
Hahahahaha! You make a great point though Ken, someone who sings the way you do for as long as you have, as well as train many others to do it, probably knows a thing or two!
One day i will make it to The Voice and when i pass blind auditions i will be grateful for two things 1.god giving me a chance and power
2.having Ken Templin tutorials and advices free on UA-cam!!! which helped me to become good singer.
Greetings from Croatia and Mediterrean Ken 💝❤️
Awesome!
You are not only singer templin you are the gold scientist of singing you are the gold singing teacher
This is one of the video's that I love where you lecture from your control room and in the background is your recording studio where all the beautiful ladies sing while you film them. Your studio is beautiful
i figured out with the help of a coach that as soon as you pushed out all the air on a note you relax the stomach and its filling almost automaticly. after concentrating to relax the shoulders and breath below the stomach. its what you teach, so im glad to have a good coach actually showing it. thanks for all the confirmation and for sharing your knowledge
Finally finished the video. Thank you so much for this lesson.
Great stuff. You really know your stuff and you do a great job explaining.
Amazing tips!!! You are the best...You explain and DEMONSTRATE very simply
One of the most informative and helpful videos on UA-cam. Great content!
I just found you and found my voice. God bless you real good Mr Ken.
Mind blowing and eye opening. I genuinely enjoyed this!!!
Hi.
Love this one.
I'm thinking I need to watch this one many times .. A keeper, and So much
Awesome Info..!!!
💜Thank you so much!!!🤙
You Rock Ken Thank You For Your Video's, They are very helpful 😊😊
Thank you Ken.
love learning from your videos and demonstrations Ken, thank you! this is helping me become a better recording artist in my music performances
Some people are good teachers but can’t do it themselves… some people are good at what they do but not good teachers… you have the ability to do both!
I'm not a native speaker but you explain things so clearly that I understand most of all without subtitles. I like the way you demonstrate how things work. It's a bit like me when I teach French...forgive me the comparison 😊. As we say here : chapeau !!🤘
Thank you! 😃
You welcome !!
Smile....in my twenties i was singer in a thrash metal band and taught myself how to belt & roar healthy and still be able to switch into soft notes seamlessly. But the muscle power you need for that is absurd. Made fun to real strong guys asking them to punch me real hard in my tummy if I than can hit them back. Me was pretty slim and not very impressive to these guys. So they smiled, crunched their fist, I crunched my belting muscles, they felt like hitting concrete, shook their fists....and than it was my turn. Man.....it might been a bit unfair, but how those pumped up dummies went to their knees....wonderful.
Ken you are an awesome human being. Always praying for you and hope to give back someday.
Thanks Ken!
Great video man. You have contributed some good stuff. I can see why you're such a success
U know ur a Vocal Rock God! Followed you for years! The real deal
Thank you so much for the videos.
This is very valuable information, guys!
You rock, ken :)
Learning from the best
Thank you so much, Ken...you totally rock!!!! 💗💗💗
Thanks!
Honestly, among all of the coaches on the internet I came across over the last 2 years, you're the one I trust the most!
I appreciate that, Anton! Rock on!
New viewer here. Looking forward for amazing learning I can get from your lessons.❤️ Thank you in advance. God bless
Ken, You are so amazing! You've taught me so much, already .. Thank you!!!!
You are so welcome, Robbie!
Mr. Tamplin I haven't seen your videos in a while... I still practice all the time and I want to thank you for teaching... I've learned so much from your videos.. I still need more practice but I'm a lot better than last year.... Thanks again....
Wonderful! Great to hear that!
I always had that question about where you had to take your breathe when singing, only the nose or the mouth, you just answered Ken, THANK YOU 🙏🏼 😭🔥
Calling from the tummy is how you're taught to call cadence in the military. I knew I had that muscle memory from somewhere lol. Great lessons! I've already noticed an improvement in my singing from binging your videos.
The "HEEEYYY" puts a smile in my face. 🙂🙃🙃🙃🙃🙂
Very cool video! I just started taking vocal lessons two months ago and this video is very helpful! 💜💜💜
Thank you ❣️❣️ Beautiful ! Pertinent, demonstrated, easy to understand. I *love* your teaching style and presence.
Thanks, Lilith!
I am Argentinian and Messi is My Idol, now Ken is My second Idol in singing
Your teachings have helped me so much I’ve turned from a songwriter into a real singer/ songwriter, thanks a million
Wonderful!
I feel like this is exactly what I've been looking for and need to help a lot. Can't wait to see my progress
Very good!!
Update!! Got to put this to use for about 45 mins earlier and it helped a lot! I didn’t feel as much strain, my breath lasted longer, and on one song I could already hear a big difference!
Great Info Ken... Thankyou... 😇😇😇
thank you sir, i watched many of your tutorials. I was helpless at singing, but now, at least, tolerable! And still going to be better!
You can do it! kentamplinvocalacademy.com/

I appreciate that!
This is amazing tutorial. Thank you.

My vocals improved alot! Thank you so much and you are one of my favorite vocal coach will be rooting for more😊
Rock on!
Oh my god I learned this a year ago but forgot...no wonder my singing has gone to the dogs. I woke up and sung using this breathing technique again, I'm back on track...thank you Sir Kenneth of The Academy!!
Rock on!
Excellent tutorial Mr. Tamplin. As someone who has been practicing SOME kind of sports and performing in front of some of my friends (God bless them) I could say that your insights are spot on. The concept of " totally relaxed" singing or "totally relaxed" playing is utterly useless when it comes to actual performing an athletic feat or singing on stage. I practiced boxing for some times and I used to be scolded by my coaches as being "too relaxed" and allowed my opponent, who manage the stress in their body to incredible speed and explosiveness, to do whatever the heck they want to do to me before I even realized what just happened. Same with performing with the live bands as the entire band literally had to told me to "put some weight" into my singing cause they can't hear me as I was "relaxing" on stage.
Amazing and helpful as always, Ken!
Thanks, Raven!
Best teacher and coolest dude.... all these free tips are priceless ... thank you Ken !!
I'm happy to help, Graham!
Another great vid brother! I really appreciate and respect the passion you have for what you do! It’s really shows in every video! ✌️🤙
Thank you, Jerod!
Praying for your daughter Ken. Sorry your going through that. I shared your inspiring email this morning and had a huge response of how people were touched with your words and encouragement through hard times!
This video is pure gold! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
You are really great Mr Ken
Thank you, Lydia!
hello, sir Ken! I just wanted to thank you for all the content that you make.I learned a lot from your videos and became better at singing.Right know i am working on my head voice and breath support.Hopefully after that i'll be able to get into my mixed voice :) . Thank you again!
Great to hear!
Dear Ken:
I greet you from Mexico and I take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent advice provided through the videos on this channel. I would really like to take some classes with you, especially to resolve doubts about breathing, since I have seen countless videos from different coaches and some instruct to keep pressure outward, others that you have to press inward, in short, they change the "techniques." ".
The only drawback is that I don't speak English and I don't know if that would be a problem for online classes. I will greatly appreciate your kind response.
May you be very well. Peace!
Very informative ken. Bang on man. This info will definitely help a lot of people 😃👍
That's great to hear, thank you!
You are the best *Ken*
But I have a request.
You r gonna get 1m soon...
promise us, you will not change your supercool super supportive attitude... 🤗
Lots of knowledge , Thank you my brother
My pleasure!
So far, the KTVA course is pretty mind blowing. I would recommend.
Thank you so much for this Ken...
You have no idea how many times I've tried to explain this on the forum (Insert: "Man crying out in the wilderness" here LOL) … actually, I recant that, as I'm sure you of all people more than understand that :-)
I usually use the analogy of the bagpipes, with your diaphragm being the air bladder. You maintain a nice constant pressure and you get predictable output... and to hit those crazy high notes, you have to increase the pressure a bit on the bagpipe bladder, "in a controlled manner"... and back off to the normal constant when you done.
Still its nice to get that clear confirmation, as sometimes we can get to doubting ourselves and questioning our foundations.
You're welcome, Furious Phil!
A good summation of several past videos Ken.I like going back and reading my comments.Lets me know what I NEED to brush up on. When your young , ya take for granted that air will always be there when ya need it, even with poor vocal breathing technique. Get alittle age on ya, high BP and poor circ, and MAN! 3-4 tunes in E will have ya seein stars..LOL. Thanks for this video! I needed it to remind me to return to the very techniques that got me this far!
That shirts timeless😉
I’m here because I have digestive problems for 13 years. Just found out I have a sliding hiatal hernia. Have been told by a few doctors I need to learn to diaphragm breath to Aleve symptoms. One dr. Told me to learn to sing. I can’t hold a note but if this helps my digestion acid reflux posture etc. Then this should be fun remedy.
This may help, as well. ua-cam.com/video/Wv3T-xA28fE/v-deo.html
Thank you Ken. As a singing guitar player these tips are always helpful. I'm nowhere near being a lead vocalist I'm a lead guitar player I do it because I do enjoy singing a few songs a set on the weekends. I've used everything I've learned from watching you like the vowels and speaking clearly as possible. Thanks again!!

Explained very succinctly and simply thanks Ken!
You're welcome, Tyler!
Hi Ken! Genial Masterclass, me apasiona cantar sobretodo temas potentes y aprendo mucho con tus videos👌🔝😉🎤
Gracias, Antonio!
thanks ken you are amazing !
Thanks, lieb! Happy New Year!
Ken, watching you is like talking to an old friend!! I would say that I taught myself how to sing. I sang to myself ever since I could remember, it's like I had a voice inside of my head that I heard and strived to sound like and I practiced until I sounded just like it. Fortunately, my parents put me in every opportunity to sing growing up, and I had many great mentors along the way. In my twenties I was really shy about my talent and too afraid to shine, I continued to practice in private with my music mentors that became great friends and networked with the best local talent. Now that I'm in my early thirties, I'm working on getting myself out there more because there is truly nothing in this world I love more than singing. I was born for it. Watching your videos reminds me of all the things I already know, or instinctually know and don't know how to express. One of my best friends and greatest encouragers died last year, not only do I miss my great friend but I miss having him around for his broad music experience and expertise. I've never really had a 1-on-1 vocal coach and I hope one day I could go through your program. Until then I come to your videos for reminders and I love watching your other students progress. Thank you for all the wonderful information
You CAN do this Melissa. Nothing to stop you. kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
This is one of my favorite videos cause I sing and play guitar and the breathing is something I had to learn well to be able to perform at high level
Great!
Excellent thanks Ken MASTER
You're welcome, Ramiro!
🙏💖Thnk u so muts swt Sir💖🙏
After a few songs I chuck on my vowels like you mentioned.
one of the best vocal coaches out there
Thanks so much!
@@kentamplin 🤩
Great information again sir
Glad you think so!
I'm definitely going to buy your course Ken, not now because I'm passing through some situations that if I buy the course now, I won't be able to focus 100%. So I hope you still keep have your course available next year, I really trust you and your job. You rock!! Congratulations
My course is here whenever you are ready, Heart Shaped Box!
Your introduction was perfect! You have nailed it! Indeed, most of the singing coaches that we have been watching here on UA-cam speak too much about this theme. They open their videos saying that they will teach you how to do, they say "do this, you have to do that"...so and on...The video finishes and you just look and say: where the hell is the explanation and really demonstration of the diafragmatic support? It just happened to me before coming here. Thanks for trying to help us. I do need to go deeper in it.
I cover this extensively in my course. kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
I was trained in two school choirs growing up and have been singing for most of my life.. However - I think I just kinda stopped breathing in this way or forgot how beneficial it is TO breath like this when singing. So, these days, when I sing - my stomach inflates when I breath in and deflates when I breath out... But now I remember you're supposed to do the opposite when singing lol. I can sing about 2 octaves above middle C but they sound kinda soft and I guess it's because I was lacking that power.. Breathing like this really strengthens ones power.
i used to sing years ago Ken (choral and choir in a church) - personally i found the breathing the most difficult and wish i had started earlier and had someone teach me how to manage the breath - cheersxx
Cheers, Jane.
Love the shirt!
Thinking about a bag piper as he pushes air into the bag to produce the sound for the pipes. I learned to use diaphragmatic breathing as a long distance runner which proves to be very beneficial. It just comes natural now.
Awesome!
Thx!
Man this is great stuff! I have always had a difficult time managing stress (resistance) and some songs I can sing just ONCE a day. Then the next day I find myself struggling with even simple songs. Thank you for giving us the "key"!
13:31
Rock on!
Thanks coach. You save me somehow 🎤
Happy to help!
Im only on 9.35 but have to go out, cant wait to get back to finish watching this and the other links i asked you about ken, i knew there was a breathing part of it, but just want to say thanks for the links ken, your a talented guy with time for your fans, whick is a busy thing to be doing, so thanks again ken and yet again love your silk shirt, you got wicked shirts along with coulour dress sense, x
My pleasure, Kasha!
Excellent vid (as always!). The only thing that's never clicked for me (even with the course) is whether the tightened/flexed abs literally push the air out, or they simply flex while you "let" the air come out. Pushing seems to send too much air through to the point my voice falls apart and sounds kind of distorted and hurts. I have EVERYTHING down up to that point (ex. expand chest, let abs expand and even did the sit up triad). I think this would be the last piece to my puzzle that no one's really ever explained in a way that clicked for me personally. Some people say blow through a straw, and that's how it's supposed to feel to have proper air flow/ab balance, others with lip trills, etc. But the moment I stop semi-occluded exercises and go for singing it all falls apart and doesn't make sense :'(
Haha..I just listened to "An Axe to Grind"..Really good😇
Thanks, now I can.
Amazing detail.
Thanks, Trinidad Molina!
I have already started getting benefitted from your videos.. Lots of respect to you sir... I am from India and I sing indian classical as well as contemporary indian & western..my voice needs to be more supported and strengthened.. Working on strengthening my abdominal muscles and connected while singing keeping your lectures in mind.... Inner intuition is also saying it's gradually working and I'm going the right way finally.. Hope someday to mk it big and owe my Gratitude to my Guru.. 🙏(ken sir.). Thanks
Great to hear, Rishik! You might consider my home study course. You can get support and evaluations from my forums. You don't have to study with me personally in order to benefit from my life's work of studying the voice. I've put it all into my course so that others can afford to have access to information that has taken my whole life to accumulate. Anyone can improve, if they really try and have the right information. kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
I'd like to see you sing Gasoline by Audioslave. You're the best teacher. Peace.
Thanks for the suggestion, Jeremy!
Jeremy should suggest Jeremy by Pearl Jam :D
Thank you so much
My pleasure!
thank you for this great information 👍🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 you are the best Singer Teacher in the world i hope soon i become student in your course 🙏🏻😇👍🏻💯💯💯
I'll be here when you're ready! kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
KING OF THE VOICE #KEN TAMPLIN
Thanks so much!
Welcome....True
Great info Ken .... nice to be reminded of the importance of the abdomen....blows away those cobwebs of doubt that creep in at times.
Master Ken I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. Honestly I didn't quite get my head around this concept of "diaphragmatic support". This video here helped me big time.. I know I'm doing something right when I can sing for hours without feeling fatigued or without my throat feeling hoarse afterwards. I've never even had a vibrato before, but all of a suddenly it is there. Big thumbs up man 👍👍
You are very welcome!
Thanks that helps
