Vocal Lessons from Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy will teach you how to sing high notes, how to increase your vocal range, and your voice will grow like CrAzY!
Ken had pnuemonia when he recorded this demo, but he's not one to cancel shows or recording dates. You can hear the congestion in his voice when he speaks, but that didn't stop him from recording anyway.

I get so many requests from people saying I want to sing like Freddie Mercury. How did Freddie Mercury sing, you know, and, and, and…
First of all Freddie Mercury, I don't think even ever had ever had a single vocal lesson as far as I know. Now I know he studied in a lot of music schools early on for piano, and actually art, believe it or not. But you're talking about a guy who was actually born, I think, in Tanzania. He was of Asian descent or Indian descent, I should say and grew up in India, you know, grew up in Tanzania. He didn't actually make it to England until eight, nine, ten, or something like that when some big war in Tanzania took place.
I have it here: "He was a British musician, singer, songwriter best known as the lead vocalist for the rock band Queen. Now, I think even Freddie would think of himself as more of a musician or a composer or someone that was into musicals, in fact I don't think it's coincidence that the second album was named "a night at the Opera."
So you have a guy who is a composer, a musician and does things in a very orchestral kind of way. And I say that, too, because he even admitted at one point that he could barely read music, so how interesting that he went to all of these music schools and yet the thing he found most important was truly having a passion. And I think a lot of us want the quick and easy road out. You know, Freddie had a tough life, and he worked really hard, and you can even hear it from the singing, you know "I work hard every day of my life, I work till I ache, my bones, at the end of the day I take home my hard earned pay all on my own. I get down on my knees and I start to pray, till the tears run down from my eyes. Lord, find me somebody to love."
So you see this expression of overcoming and working hard, and frustration and anguish and joy. You know "We Are The Champions", "We Will Rock You". You know, these anthemic things, and yet at the same time he can come and he can take this natural God-given, four octave range, and then he can sing like kind of an Elvis-ish sort of song we just heard, which is "Find Me Somebody To Love", and also "Crazy Little Thing Called Love."
So anyway, you take "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," and he was into Cliff Richards, he was into Little Richard, you know some of these old-school guys. But anyway, I also wanted to point out a couple of things here, again. He says "His childhood in India he began taking piano lessons at the age of seven. In 1954 at the age of eight, Mercury was also sent to study at St. Peter's school, a British style boarding school for boys. So the guy got stuck in a boarding school, right? When he finally meets… He goes through several bands, too, I want to add. I think he went through maybe seven or eight bands before he actually landed Queen. At an early, early age, I hear so many people complaining about two or three bands that they've gone through, you know, right? So he goes through band, after band, after band, and ironically, when he finally lands, you know, the few players that we see in Queen… Guess what? Brian May contracts hepatitis, and I think he's out of the band for the first year or so. My all - time favorite guitar player almost didn't make the band, right? But then, as fate would have it, you know, later this all came together, and again, we know them as Queen. But I also want to emphasize one thing. He got nodes towards about the middle or three quarters of the way into his career, and he went from being able to sing F6, you know, way above high C, all the way down to around a B or an A, because he developed nodules on his cords, and he refused to get surgeries. So, we see, you know, that it would have been cool had he taken some lessons, and had he done some things the right way, you know we might have had a much better performance towards the end of his life as we saw at the beginning of his life.
Regarding my "How To Sing Like"People say "series. People say you should't try to sound like someone else. Be yourself!I
And I say - Absolutely!
No one should "clone" anyone.
But we all have influences and it's THOSE influences that start our fire and inspire us to sing to begin with. And it is the sum of those influences, and how we "re-present" them with our own touch and style that makes us great. The more influences you have, the more you will have in your "singing tool box" to work with.
In all of my "How To Sing Like" videos, I still sound like Ken Tamplin, but I have a flavor of the artist and is meant to demonstrate how their "style" can be achieved safely in the wake of either the original artist losing their voice, or those that try to imitate them, This showcases range, vocal timber and style for different color and flavors for diverse singing.

Hi!
I want to sing, but I can´t manage my throat to open up :(
I sing with my stomach, but when I trie to sing "FUULLL" out loud, it´s only my throat and I sound like a sucker...what is it I doing wrong ?
And...Why aren´t you singing with a band with that voice ?
You can almost "choose" you band with that voice !!
Cheers
+Belseful I cover this in my singing course. You need to learn good open throat technique. Keeping the back of the throat open when you sing with strong diaphragmatic support. This is where to start. You can check out my curse at KenTamplinVocalAcademy.com
+Tanner Sandell Hi Tanner. Good post. Let's be very clear about something. Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest singing performers of all time - Period. I have seen him live many many times over the years. I want to separate Live performances from studio performances. The fact is, the studio recording of Innuendo and The Show Must Go On is actually some of his greatest work from a singing standpoint. Towards the very end you actually heard Freddie manage his voice better than any other time in his career, even under illness. A majority of his career, about the middle to three quarters of the way through, Freddy often lost his voice live, Took shortcuts for high notes and had audiences singing choruses for him. Not that he's expected to be perfect, but conditioning his voice through the process of this would have minimized or eliminated this altogether. Thanks for your post.
+Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Well said!
Can you teach us how to sing like nate ruess
Stop it with the comments not sounding like the original singers. He is demonstrating their techniques not making an impression. Every human voice on earth has different amounts of hamrmonics,overtones and formants so it's impossible for one singer to siund like another one 100%. Ken is a master at his job probably one of the best vocal coaches on earth.
Exactly. I find this a lot more respectful than those imitators too, it's more of a "how to be inspired by" than "how to imitate" :)
This is even pretty amazing. He is really good vocalist!
Yes I was about to comment that he didnt sound the same as Freddie he was just trying to teach the techniques and ways of hitting those notes Freddie hit.
Check out Marc Martel - currently touring w/ The Queen Extravaganza:

Everyone knows. But his sound is natural. It’s not a voice impression. He imitates Freddie’s style with a voice that already sounds like freddie
He's teaching us Freddie's style, not how to imitate him, so calm your asses.
Thanks, Pux. What many do not realize is that I had pnuemonia when I recorded this, so it's not my best. I just had the studio time booked and never let illness stop me from a performance. I'm just wired that way.
What i meant is people say you're trying to imitate Freddie's voice or take his place (clearly can see this in top comments) , but the title is clear: you want to teach the style Freddie adopted in his songs. Keep up the good work.
:-)
The title says "in the style" not "how to sounds like".. Why is it so hard for you guys to get what he's trying to show.
doesn't sound like his style too xD just ken singing queen songs, not that it's bad at all
Range. He doesn't have the range. And range, and range, and range, and range.
How to sound like freddie mercury's style
@@fitzgivesfits1 you know this is a year old comment. But I hope you were joking cause this guy has huge range
I see this more as a Fantastic Singer singing his own interpretation of these famous Queen songs. Freddie had a bit more growl and raw emotion in his voice. With that said, fantastic demonstration. I hate it when people say no one should be allowed to sing Queen because they'll never be as good. Bullshit. Sing whatever you want. Who cares if your better or worse. I like singing Queen. I have the range for it, so I'll sing it. As simple as that. If people ever call me out for trying to capture some of the spirit of my idol, I'll just tell them to piss off. I know I'll never be as good, it's not the point. The point is having a good time and entertaining the folk watching you.
Thanks for your open-minded comment, ericpierre53. I have nothing but admiration for Freddie's voice and the incredible impact he had on music during his lifetime. I also highly encourage others to follow in his footsteps and sing his great musical masterpieces, knowing that there will always only be one Freddie Mercury. Imitation is the highest form of praise. While I prefer to emulate, rather than imitate, I think we honor Freddie by keeping his music alive on the live stage, in our performances and our repertoire, and our recordings and videos. We've lost too many of our vocal heroes. Let's keep their memories alive.
Pretty much.
AGREE. WHO can DUPLICATE FM on vocals??? NOBODY.
I can hear the techniques, even though the timbre is different.
ericpierre53 u tell em :P
Freddie the best voice of the world
Freddie was amazing!
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy you are great...amazing voice
Steven Tyler
David Coverdale
Ken tamplin ur voice us great also .could u do Jeff Scott Soto with Malmsteen Dont let it end live 85'' an from his solo stuff as well thanx
Michael Jackson the best!!!
I can really hear the Freddie style on someone else voice... you rock!
Me too bro
so easy to criticize. No one can sing like Freddie Mercury, yes that's alright. But no one here on the comments can sing as Ken Tamplin.
neo stiv: no one can sing like Freddie
Marc Martel: *Hold my beer*
lol
Hell yeah!
Marc martel
Ah darling!
Ken Tamplin has original Albums and singles which you listen on UA-cam for free. None of the tracks has more than 2k views. It is easy to criticise and but another thing to sing better than the ones you criticise.
Wow, first video I have seen of yours, and really it was Just That easy to Subscribe! Awesome job Kentamplin
This guy understands Freddy techniques,
Doesn’t mean he will sound identical,
It’s important to find your own voice
👍for this guy. Thanks for help 🙏
Freddie* sorry for the late reaction
I think that Fred had a softer voice but strong at the same time, this is why is so difficult to sing like him and I realize he had an opera intention when singing, because he was simply crazy about opera!
I can tell you get into the spirit of Freddie, which is a beautiful thing, he deserves that, and all the love you clearly have for him, I have as well... he was a profound talent, and truly missed. Thanks for sharing your love.
Freddie isn't easy to cover. Great job man!
Thanks, Twin.
there is no other and will be not any other singer and performer like freddie in this freaking universe ever . amen miss you freddie
the man was a fucking legend
Thanks for listening!
You have an unreal voice, Ken! So damn talented and you seem like a very kind person as well!
Thank you, nikki! I appreciate that!
Freddie Mercury in my opinion is the best singer and frontman in the world rock history. I've only seen two people cover a Queen song, and do it well. George Michael and now Adam Lambert. You sound great here as always.
Show Must Go On is one of Freddie's greatest performances and it's at the end of his career. I didn't realise he had nodules on his vocal chords by that time!
Freddie did such an incredible job, despite the enormous challenges he faced at that time. He was heroic and gave his all.
I just found your channel, Ken, and I’m loving it!
I think you did a great job with Freddie and I am VERY defensive about my ♥️. 😂.
Ken, you probably know this but there were a few amazing parts of his anatomy that God gifted him with in order to make his spectacular voice out of this world!!!
Freddie had a 4 octave vocal range
Freddie’s natural voice is baritone but, he could very easily switch to tenor (which he had to do for MANY of Queen’s songs.
The typical vibrato is between 4.5-6.9 hertz (I’m pretty sure) and Freddie’s is 7.04
He had an “irregular” vibrato
He had four extra incisors (hence, his large mouth)
Possibly the most amazing - he is able to use “subharmonics”. We are all born with vocal chords and ventricular folds in our throat. Most of us are unable to utilize our ventricular folds (they went the way of the appendix and the gall bladder - we no longer need them but, the body still produces them). Certain people can access those chords. Think Tibetan monk chants. They were most likely taught through the generations how to access them but, I’m pretty sure Freddie just came out of his mama with the ability to use them!
Anyway, someone may already put these tidbits in the comments but, if not, enjoy your new Freddie trivia. When people say he was more than a real mortal well, perhaps he was!!! ♥️♥️♥️
This is a cool tribute to one of the greatest rock singers of all time! What a tough act to follow! There will never be another Freddie Mercury, but Ken does a wonderful job of singing Freddie's songs in the style that they were meant to be sung in, with style, energy, and a lot of respect for Freddie! You can learn to sing the toughest songs in all of rock like these with Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy methods.
Freddie Mercury will always be the best singer of all time. Freddie is immortal because your voice and your songs are timeless. I'm still shivers when I hear your voice , my body shudders .
Thank you for singing songs of supergroup Queen .
Freddy was a miraculous artist and vocalist. No one can even touch a note with all the strength and soul as Freddie did.
Thank you for the video Ken, very interesting.
Marc Martel comes scary close to Freddie Mercury.
Yeah, I know! I discovered Queen Extravaganza only last month right after watching Ken's video! I was thrilled by his voice, really close!
@@KJGould seriously!!! omg amazing
Your vocal versatility never fails to amaze me.
Thanks internetultrageek!
The intro makes you sound like a take no shit badass but when you talk you sound like the nicest guy in the world. XD
Tristan Clemons- I am nice. Dogs love me.
did you just call me a dog because I love you ? :P
Dogs know......
Dude. Anyone who says you did not do a REMARKABLE job of impersonating Freddie is deaf.
WE ALL know Freddie is one of a kind, but your take on his voicing is phenomenal.
Thank you, Toni. I wasn't trying so much to sound like Freddie as I was trying to show everyone that if they love Freddie's music, that it is possible for them to do a good job singing his songs. Just because Freddie was great doesn't mean that after he left us nobody can ever sing his songs again. That would be a tragedy. His name lives on in his songs and in others singing them, as well. I do hope I did a good job of honoring Freddie's legacy. I appreciate your comments, very much.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy , if it means anything, I am a professional gigging musician and I play & sing 130 shows a year. I know the work that goes into interpretation - be it vocal or instrumental. And I will never understand people, who express their lack of knowledge and experience from their comfy sofas...
To anyone reading this - go out there, make a living with music, then come back - and I guarantee you will appreciate this video in a different light.
Freddie the Best of the Best 👍 Thanks for your lessons ⚘
You're welcome, Katrina!
Freddie would be proud Ken just so good thanks.
Thank you, Tony!
Regarding My How To Sing Like... Series:
People say "I want to sound like me and not anyone else."
And I say - Absolutely! No one should "clone" anyone.
But we all have influences, and it is the sum of those influences, and how we "re-present" them with our own style that makes us great.
Learning a difficult cover song where the bar is set high, is an excellent grading scale to see how well our technique is working.
This is also true for learning different styles as this increases our vocabulary for diverse singing and helps us find our own unique voice.
In my "How To Sing Like" videos, I still sound like Ken Tamplin, but seek to show you how to sing in their "style" safely.
Check Out One Of My Original Songs Featuring Some Of My Singing Influences (singing both soft and heavy) Here: How To Sing Like David Coverdale - Glenn Hughes - Lou Gramm - Paul Rodgers
When Choosing A Vocal Coach Or Singing Program, Make Sure The Coach Can Prove Their Technique With Their Own Voice & Their Students Voices Whether It's Cover Songs Or Originals.
The Proof Is In The Singing.
Freddie mercury is the best. An inspiration for everyone!!
Here is a a man that has passion for what he does....dude it shows, bravo I envy you!
You sound more like Queen's drummer Roger Taylor, your voices are very similar and that's really good because he also has a huge vocal range nothing like Freddie's but still impressive, Good job!
Captain Jack Fred Manson Depp Mercury 👍
@ambob Roger was a half note higher than fred
Lol Ken has OVER a 4 octave range. Freddie's was 4
Bill Hassell Freddie’s was actually 8 but ok.
@@TheRageCommenter What? 8 octaves?! That is not truth! Officialy is 4 octaves for Freddie 🤷♂️
I'm not into singing..More a guitar man myself but wanted to say i enjoy watching your videos and think your voice is pretty amazing.
Thanks man. Guitar is my first instrument as well :-)
keep singing, you will rock them. that was unbelievably adorable.
Dude I applaude you for making this video. Its not everyone who would put themselves up against Freddie for comparison and criticism.
I applaud your performance of the technique/style used by Freddie. Too many go the karaoke route on this subject matter, great work. Also, your taking the time to reply and describe the content with its actual purpose, nice patience
Thanks John!
Freddie is my all time favourite by far❤️ Ken, you did him proud👍
Thanks for listening! Rock on!
Freddie’s a legend. And the person singing in the video has done better then quite a few (lot) people I’ve heard and there saying there the best and sound like Freddie. But no one can sound like Freddie. He was/is the king 👑
True, Nell. Freddie was the only Freddie Mercury, and nobody can beat him at that. Even people who imitate him well, and maybe even look a bit like him will never be equal to him. I had pnuemonia when this was recorded, but that's no excuse. I still wouldn't be Freddie. My video is to show that his songs are not untouchable. We honor Freddie by keeping his music alive and by encouraging others to keep on singing it. You don't have to pretend to BE him. We should ALL sing along to Freddie's songs or re-present them in his honor.
Ken, you are true composer and musician. You have a gift from above.
Man you have my respect. As the title suggests , its the technique to sing like FM not identical to FM. What a brilliant voice. Subscribed. 🙌👍
Thanks for listening!

DO you believe that anyone can learn to sing "well" ? Even if they don't have the natural talent ? Can you show us students when the started and 1 year later after your course? thx
ken masters Yes I do. I didn't say anyone could be Freddie, but you most certainly can.

excellent, I like your site, glad I found it...........will be practicing
Funny. I've always seen him as a broadway musician and composer who turned it all to rock, too. I've never wanted to sound like someone else, but I certainly wanted to glean all I could off of all the greats like Freddie Mercury, Steve Perry, Geoff Tate, etc.
Ken, thank you for championing vocalists. I always learn from you. Though I am financially poor, I learned I am rich in talent as I continue to grow my skills. God bless, man!
You are the Big boss Ken!!
Hearing you gave me goosebumps!! I love love Freddy, may his soul rip❤

If I closed my eyes, you sound so amazing! It may not sound 100% but it's so impressive and got freddie vibe!
👍💜😀
Ken you have an incredible voice!
Thanks!
but yours best performance is when you sing Paul Rodgers, it's equal!
Absolutely Amazing!!!!!
Personally I think The Show Must Go On is the most impressive and powerful performance he has ever given.
Outstanding! Standing ovation!
Tom Goffnett- Thanks! :)
There's only one Freddie, but I prefer you to Adam lambert
Wow, that's a compliment, but I think Adam Lambert is an awesome singer. No one will ever "replace" Freddie. That's just not going to happen. He was one of a kind. We can only celebrate his contributions to music and keep singing his songs in his memory.

Im one huge Queen fan, and I couldn't have said it any better. Replacing Freddie is not happening. Let it be Adam, Marc Martel, whoever the hell that might be.. Freddie was unique, one of a kind.. Truly a legend 🔥 #QueenWorks 👑
Adam Lambert is an awesome singer, but I prefer Marc Martell.
So I can take the operatic/classic vocals and rock it! Whew! I’ve been up praying and crying and came upon this video. I’m encouraged now! Thank you. Rough times right now. It’s been rough for a while, but right now, this is a great thing to hear and watch! Loved it!

Great info.Thanks for your time mate.
Great to see you still belting it out, Mr. T. Truly an inspiration and you offer a comprehensive analysis of the greats! Nice to see how you help so many in this amazing art!
Guys, Ken Templin doesn't try to sing like Freddie, he was just sing in his style. How come you never read the title
Not a single human being on this person can sing as good as Freddie.
+chaitanya joshi on this person, lol? Did you mean planet? I totally agree, Freddie was incredible. However, Paul Rodgers did an amazing job singing Queen songs - Not Freddie though!
Oh yes. I meant this Planet. This galaxy. This universe 😁😁
Freddie is missed on this planet!!! Hopefully, He's rocking out somewhere in the galaxy! :)
+chaitanya joshi MJ?
Hernan Martinez Mj was an extremely talented performer, dancer and also a great singer but he can't match the up to level of singing of Freddie Mercury bro. Trust me on this one.
Wow congratulations. The legend is my dear Freddie and you did your best.
Damn!!!!!! You did it again. I have wanted to sing my whole life (48) and have just started playing guitar because I write lyrics, but do not play or sing. I have a limited range and get so frustrated trying to sing the songs I love - Queen, Journey, AC/DC, Eagles, Beatles, (60s-80s). You fill me with hope!
QUEEN NEVER DIE! ❤
Rock on!
Great singing!!! my respects to you!!!... not an equal to Freddie...but it was a pleassure to hear some Queen music.
Everyone has their own singing voice. Mine is to nasally so😞 all I can actually do is a great sing along. Ken you are a really good 10:09 teacher, God bless. I really liked your Freddie medley
You're phenomenal man.
Freddy Mercury's voice had soul, a strength and a personality within that can't be taught. He sang from deep inside to show outside the emotions he felt while creating songs. So many people can have a good train and a good voice and the result can be good, but still they'll be so far away from the feelings his voice gives to the world. His Energy can't be copycat
Is There Really Such Thing As "Stress Free Singing"?
I see many vocal coaches (and their students) promoting the idea that "there should be no stress while singing" and therefore frustrating the heck out of singers who think there is "something wrong with themselves" because they can't, over night, achieve this "stress free" singing.
(this also gives a vocal coach "tribal knowledge" to keep you coming back to them as-if they are the only one who has the answer to this elusive concept)
This is nonsense and here's why:
Singing is like a sport. And with any sport, it's not the absence of stress, it's the management of stress that makes a great athlete.
Think of it like this:
When Lionel Messi is going to goal, do you think his body is "stressed?"
(Anyone who says it isn't has never played a sport before).
But Lionel has learned the art of training his body and mind for that moment when it's time for him to step on the gas, take on 3 players and score what "looks" like an "effortless goal."
But you can be assured, it was not done "without effort" or without "stress."
Lionel achieved this through training his technical abilities as well as building stamina and muscle memory to achieve this consistency.
Now it is true that some styles of singing require less stamina than others and therefore can be accomplished with less strength training.
In other words, singing a light pop song requires very little "strength" in the sound whereas singing a heavy rock song often requires incredible strength and stamina.
This is also true for those (like myself) that want to push their "limits" and abilities to be all they can be. This of course requires more "effort" and technical training.
With that said, there are many stages to building this "stamina" and it's OK to "find yourself" as one first starts with "damaging street singing" (with total stress) and going through the different stages of learning how to manage this stress away form the voice through correct training.
If I didn't show the different stages of this process, and only showed "perfection", people would never learn that these people are all human, having to work on their craft just like yourself.
Amen!
This is so seriously true. Anybody who thinks they can sing like this without managing stress and tension, and really, I mean really controlling the breath is misinformed.
***** when singing powerful rock songs like this it requires a tremendous amount of air. What you see is me taking a quick hit in the lung and then immediately dropping my shoulders to let my abdomen and diaphragm do all the work. Especially with songs like Freddy's where there are long phrases and belting high range there is no way around taking in large amounts of air into the long then holding your breath to mitigate that air with substantial abdominal strength. I cover this thoroughly in my singing course
Yeah I was listening to a very well known vocal coach I watched videos of him coaching Haley Williams, Taylor Swift, and other, famous artists as well but when I watched a video of him singing in front of an audience; my jaw dropped on how he needed to take his own advice by the way he performed . . . it was painful to watch . . .Then I watched this video of is like night and day difference. . .
Hey Ken can you sing Bohemian Rhapsody. I think it would be an awesome song. .
I'm more than impressed!. I'm subscribed! Not only you teach, but inspire!
It sounded simply Amazing!! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
😊
Freddie had goat-like vibrato that allowed him to do it so fast
Tomáš Olearčin I know but it wasn’t a true vibrato sometimes
@@johnfitzgeraldkennedy4465 you mean is freddie ?
💜😀
He may have never had a lesson but he was simply untouchable... On innuendo you had a dying man hitting insane notes like on " show must go on " and while you listen to it it's almost unbelievable that he's dying of aids. That's what separates him from the rest. I don't think there's any other singers alive that could sing like that with such power and intensity while sick to the point they weigh 100lbs and are as pail as a ghost.
He was dying and hitting those notes while I’m super young and find it difficult it’s crazy how good Freddie was and how determined he was
I am so glad u feel this way about Freddy. U took the time to teach everyone something about him. Thank u for that.
Thanks for your kind words, Josh!
When I scrolled down to comment, I couldn't tell the difference between your voice and Freddie. That was simply amazing.
Thanks man!
This singing is amazing. Anyway I don't know why to properly hear how good someone's voice is I don't have to see their faces while they're singing. In this video for instance I had to scroll down to the comments section and just listen to the voice, does it happen to you guys as well? Maybe it's just me.
Hey man..you are insanely good!! :D
Amazing range and idk how you manage to sing these songs continuously without killing your throat! Can you give me some tips on expanding my vocal range? I have a deep voice..not like too deep bit moderate and I've been singing for past 6 years (Indian classical sr. Diploma and also 3rd grade trinity vocals)..it was great when I was a child (that's something totally different) but in my teens it obviously changed..I'm 18 now..would really like some help as I can't find any solution regarding the scale improvement! Please reply!
*but
And I can barely go 3 octaves now..not even 3 actually! between 2 and 3!

This is a specific technique. I have a singing course that walks you the the process of how to do this. I also have a singers forum that I include with over 5,000 singers that help field questions about my technique. You can find the course here: kentamplinvocalacademy.com/2015-sale/
Love this. What a gift!!
Ken never says you'll sound like are imitate a particular singers voice, but he does say in the style of so and so. He will teach you how to sing in the range of any artist is what I thank he is trying to get across with proper vocal lessons.
Thank you, kevin!
Your welcome Ken.
Freddy is smiling

Please make a "how to sing like mike patton" video!!!
i like how he like every comment except yours
Thanks for this!
You're welcome, Clare!
You're the best Ken
Wow you are an incredible singer with amazing range, good on you darling. Yet instead of trying to sound like the greatest singer ever, you could front your own band with your amazing voice. Great singers are so few and far between and you are a great singer. I write, arrange, record, and play everything except bass and drums. You are so talented, and an awesome vocalist, I would forge my own path and not try to sound like the late and great Freddie Mercury. Either way you have incredible range and power. God bless my friend.
King David- Thank you.
Regarding my: "How To Sing Like" series.
People say "You should sound like you and no one else".
And I say - Absolutely! No one should "clone" anyone.
But we all have influences, and it is the sum of those influences, and
how we "re-present" them with our own style that makes us great.
In addition, If we pick a difficult cover song where the bar is set
high, this is an excellent grading scale to see how well our singing
technique is working.
This is also true for learning in different styles as this increases
our vocabulary and tool box for diverse singing and helps us find what
we like or don't like to build our own unique voice.
In all of my "How To Sing Like" videos, I still sound like Ken
Tamplin, but I have a flavor of the original artist demonstrating
their "style" safely when often the original artist lost their voice
due to bad technique. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Tamplin
Very well said and I completely agree. Rock on Ken! I wish I could get you into my studio. God bless my friend.
In parts you sound like the Electric Light Orchestra guy. And that's not a bad thing. I loved your performance!
💜😀
I always enjoy you and your cousin. One of my favorite tunes is Van Halen with Sammy "Love Comes Walking In". I love how he starts out with that emphasis on the word "Contact!!!"...and then the "asleep or awake" just flows right after...."to change your life to lose your place in time". I love the flow of that song. The entire 5150 album was outstanding. I am going to start listening to your songs too. That performance with you and Jeff Scott Soto blow back my remaining hair. It seem like it was written to have a "layered" effect. It was multidimensional and smooth. It had a a soulful quality to it and it rocks.
Unfortunately many must understand the creativity you bring along with. For many who know where you coming from Sir know what you bring to the table. Keep rocking!
u look friendly
I am! :)
U look beautiful lisa
A for effort.
But you must understand... Freddie is untouchable.
He had pneumonia when he sang this.
agree
unless you're Adam Lambert.
NARKISDUDE he sucks
Kenneth Martinez let's agree to disagree. i saw him live, was blown away.
So many people in the comments here didn't get the video, it's crazy. Keep it up Ken!
👍
This guy did all this with a head cold. Hats off man!
Thanks!
absolutely unreal. is it just DVDs from your site you offer lessons?
Most of what I do are web cam skype sessions all over the world. My Academy is LOCATED in Hawaii and Los Angeles for "In Studio" sessions however I would strongly recommend starting with my "How To Sing - Better Than Anyone Else" course as it will save you a LOT of time and money. You can find it under the "singing courses" tab on the bottom of my KenTamplinVocalAcademy.com page (or click this link: kentamplinvocalacademy.com/how-to-sing-regular-bundle/ Then if you feel like you need to take a personal after doing the course for a bit to make sure you are on track is always a good idea (or if you just want to start straight away with personal instruction). The personal instruction is located there as well and I record the video sessions and a copy is sent to you for your reference. (or you can click this link): kentamplinvocalacademy.com/online-singing-lessons/ )
There is also a "gold bundle option" that includes 3 one hour sessions with me. What many people do is get this (it comes with the course and basically the course is free with this option) then they will take a lesson after doing volume 1 for a while to make sure they are on track. Then do the same for volume 2 etc.
For "In Studio" sessions you can click this link: kentamplinvocalacademy.com/personal-singing-lessons/
I have also put great singers forums with over 5,000 like minded students and 8 moderators (including myself) to help field questions abut the course helping to take some of the guesswork out of it.
I hope that answers your questions :-)
-Ken
Their second album is Queen 2 not A Night At The Opera
then after queen 2 is sheer heart attack THEN is a night at the opera then a day the races :)
Correct :)
:Di know stuff yay!!
Foxyy AJ you got kik?
Toby Maldonado no, why?
Once again, thank you so very much Mr. Ken Tamplin! You share your knowledge and experience and I am truly grateful for you, giving us this great clip, singing songs from one of the best bands of my era! I am so glad to see the resurgence of Queen and have seen the film several times. Your videos are so Inspirational and until I pay off some bills and save up to visit you in Hawaii, I will continue driving in my car singing along. God Bless You!
Don't save to go to Hawaii to see me. My home was destroyed by the volcanic eruptions of 2018, so I am now back on the mainland. Keep singing along.
you are simply fantastic!
that kicked ass
thanks man
HOW TO SING LIKE FREDDIE MERCURY. - Bullshit! No one can sing like Freddie. It's impossible there can only be one! The big bang only happened once, you were born only once, there is only ONE Freddie Mercury! Respect for the best!
That's not the point of the video Julz
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I listened to you, You sound good.
In the style of....read it
I rest my case when I said you were the best vocalist and ever heard you were singing with pneumonia. unbelievable you were just given a gift. those pipes unbelievable now even more impressed then before belt out notes like that with pneumonia everyone else would have canceled their shows
For anyone interested in my singing academy - (Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy)

Can you please please please do Maynard James Keenan from Tool? You did a great job with Muse and Chris Cornell and Queen. I think Maynard's voice is super unique as well. A tone/timbre that none of the other singers you've done has.
Just FYI, Night at the Opera was the 4th album. Queen, Queen2, Sheer Heart Attack then Night at the Opera.
Hey ken I wonder if you could make a video on how to sing like Adam lambert? He's one of my and alot of ppls fav singers! Thanks you for your time awesome video btw!
