How To Practice A Song - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy

- Опубліковано 21 бер 2018
- I believe the best way to practice a song isn't just by trying to belt it out.
There is a specific sequence that works best.
And it doesn't really matter what style you want to sing.
That sequence involves starting out lightly (I don't mean airy, I mean little volume).
Work up gently how the vowels feel most comfortable in your throat.
(In my singing course "How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else" I thoroughly walk you through this process).
It's best to start with vowels first (no consonants and nothing to choke off the throat when singing like hard consonants such a G, NG, B, P, M etc.).
Then little by little you can start to add more weight (volume) to the song.
Start with one verse at a time. Don't jump to trying to sing the whole song through.
Once you have mastered the first verse, move on the first chorus. (vowels only).
Continue this until you have built up enough stamina to easily get through the song.
Determine what your Tessitura is. (the most esthetically acceptable and comfortable vocal range for a given singer).
You can grow your voice to increase your range, but it is best to start here.
So again, once you have mastered the vowels, gently start adding back the consonants.
You will find that you are training your throat to stay open so it is not "closing off" when you re-introduce back these vowels.
When you get really good at this, you can start bumping the song up one tone, then two tones and so on, to increase vocal range.
I hope this was helpful.

Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
My singing teacher always says to me "sing only the vowels -A E I O U - of th lyrics. It has to sound like a single stream of air".
The best advice ever. It's not easy, but it pays.
(sorry, english it's not my mian language)
Not all singing teachers are as wise as yours. You have gotten good instruction.
@@kentamplin Glad that i stumbled across this issue :), or "issue". Just glad that i found myself doing it without knowing why. Felt good, relaxed, and empowering by just humming along some songs, that usually are in a high key performing. As you said, the truth's in the singing. And yes, ofcourse i've bought your course. I have adjusted my gaming chair, so that i can more easily reach the feeling for my abdominal core muscles in singing. Greetings from northern Sweden
Except for the spelling of "main" you type ans spell better than most US citizens.

“Pitch and tone are key. If we can get those 2, we’ve won 80% of the battle.”-Ken Tamplin #truth
I'm 20% there! ;b
The Official Andy Saenz OMG I don’t have either one. I flunked try outs in 5th grade.
-_-
Ken is the man. He definitely knows how to sing and how to teach other people to sing. Amazing professionalist.
Respect!
Thanks for the kind words, emkaemka1!
@@kentamplin Honestly, Ken you're an amazing vocalist.
Pitch, Tone, Story, and Passion. This is really great stuff.
LITERALLY the song i’m gonna be singing to get into a school is bruno mars when i was your man and when you said that i was like “omg it’s fate”
With some songs my singing gets choppy, so I remined myself that a period or end of a word doesn't mean that I have to close my mouth. This video kinda touches on that.
best tutor of voice range on the planet well done ken
well done ken always greetings from limerick lireland
Ken, singing aside, I watch your videos just to brighten my day. Your willingness to share your wisdom - vocals and life alike - is truly refreshing and appreciated. You’re a real blessing in my life when I’m feeling blue. Cheers to you, brother.
Thank you, Ryan! I really appreciate that.
My voice improves more and more with every one of your videos even the free ones on you tube offer extremely valuable information
He just gave away the key to the magic of being able to sing more than one note all night... KTVA. ⚡️
I hear (and sing with) singers who are constantly struggling with consonants and transitions, and these ppl are considered good singers at their pro level (they get praised by ppl every night). 👏🏼
If anyone knows a more experienced/proven vocal instructor, or a more comprehensive/proven vocal course out there, plz let me know.
Thanks for the kind words of support, Richard! 😊
I LOVE his philosophy! “Where the proof is in the actual singing!”. He proved it! Ken is the best singer out of all the vocal coaches I’ve found here on UA-cam. The internet can be a wonderful place to learn how to sing.
🎼 🎶 🎵 🎤
These videos are really fantastic. I have taken lessons from a classically trained professional opera singer, and he has said a lot of the things that Ken says here 🙂I haven't taken Ken's course, but I bet it's amazing. I would say, though, that it's 10% lessons and 90% practice 😁
You're so right singing a song that fits your voice and your tone, I can all most bet you there's a lot of older professional musicians singers out there that didn't think they was going to be playing the same music 40 years later when they wrote it because if they have known that they probably would have wrote the song in a lower key compared to the original key that it's in.
You just easily explained what I've struggled with for years when I sing - the glottal stops. This has made me avoid singing except in my car. You are amazing!
I'm glad to have helped you, Dixie! Thank you for commenting!
Ken is the man. That is all.
Thanks, Wayne!
Thank you so much! I really like the kindness when you explain things. it almost says "You can do it, I believe in you" without you having to say it
You can do it!
@@kentamplin And I just found out you are a Christian Rocker.... I wanna cry.... I could see and hear something of Jesus in your voice! I am so happy. I am going watch and follow and train my voice with all the videos in your channel. Thank you so much!
After 3 days into your course I unblocked so many things, and connected more dots than 25 years of singing lessons with different teachers. I want to cry tears of joy. The work is just starting, but I feel like I'm finally going to progress after reaching a severe plateau for years and it made me miserable. I see light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you so much.
That is so great to hear, favoriteladyl!
Amazing. amazing, amazing teacher. So generous, so real. No vanity, just someone who is a master at his craft. Thank you, Ken Templin.
Ken, added more Foreigner and some Kansas to my repertoire. I'm continuously amazed at how just that one lousy half step down can make such a huge difference in terms of comfort and consistency.
Good to hear from you, Bob!
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Always learning from you Ken.
Hello and Good day to All! I am new to the channel and in leu of listening to music itself, I find myself lost in appreciation to a genuine vocal teacher who speaks in a language that can actually be understood, and English is my native language.
I am in awe of the knowledge and experience Mr. Ken Tamplin brings to the table. Mr. Tamplin's vocal academy has renergized my interest to further my knowledge of singing techniques of all genres. Mr. Tamplin's Vocal Academy UA-cam page, along with his website and forums, provide more information on vocal techniques/awareness to help an individual better themselves as a singer, as well as to further understand singing as it pertains to the artform of historical expression of which it formed.
Thank you, Prisms. Rock on!
Man why didn't I watch this earlier??
So helpful. I struggle with consonants so much.
This is really an eye opener for me.
Thank you so much Ken!
Happy to help, Resurgam!
Big thumbs up on this. Now I have something to shoot for. Thank you sooooo much for this Ken.
once aroundthemapleleaf- Awesome!! You're welcome!
Singing is sharing your life through the lyrics and intonations, not just pure range.
Great lesson again Ken! Love it.
Much needed advice given in a concise way ...thank you Ken
Thank you Ken !💜
In one of your older videos, you mentioned that singers don't begin their songs with their strongest notes.. well except for while singing "past the point of no return", and instead work their way up or down to their difficult notes. Sometimes, I have to remind myself to try difficult songs with my neutral voice, before doing any tweaking. Just returning to the speaking voice is usually enough to regain control. For my first well liked Sweet Child o Mine recording, a friend asked before fully listening why I made a baritone cover, but really I was using each mini chorus to slowly climb to higher notes, then by the time I got to "now, now, now.... etc," I was able to go as high as needed. Now, I practice a lot of high note singing. Used dreamed a dream for my recent round 1 entry of the competition I am. I've heard many say one cannot learn to sing on their own, but I am thankful that you, Dr Dan, Mr Stoney, and others are willing to continuously provided us with the sources we need, to improve at our own pace, or even satisfy curiosities.
To pitch in on how I practice songs, I at least memorize a verse or the chorus, then as I go for a walk, I say each individual words several different ways. If there are high notes I need to hit, it sometimes helps to make my vibrato sound like a highly accelerating vehicle, how it starts slow and deep then gets quicker... kind of zip up a word to find the high tone, if that makes sense.
Every single days I always watched your channel coz i wanna be a good singer thanks ken tamplin
So very much appreciate your sharing knowledge and the manner in which you do so
I do see eye to eye, Ken. Thank you for your awesome work Sir.

Your vocal wisdom continues to amaze me, thank you! I’m challenged, but in a good way because you are so supportive and you make things so clear.
Super this video. Very helpful. Thank you ken
Wow this advice is amazing. I starting doing this especially changing the consonants to make them softer and it completely changed my singing!! Thank you!
Thank you very much for sharing I do love sing at times I think it’s wonderful that you can sing anything I think this awesome😊💕
i like Ken and his voice is much better than most stars. He is really a Star Maker.
Wow, fantastic advice on the vowels and consonants. It's greatly helping my singing already. Thank you, Ken -- you're the man!
What you are telling about passion, that what is(was) making Dalida 's songs sound so incredible and touching (moreover of her incredible velvet voice)
Still following this so I can sing for fun with my friends ...thank you Ken.

That's great, Colton! It's awesome when we figure something like that out, and can start using it from now on!

Raghnaa Abdallah Thanks so much for the kind words! I appreciate them.
great advice as always, thank you Ken!!
You bet!
As soon as you talked about vowels in actual songs It finally clicked why we practice scales with the vowel sounds. Like the application of years of self taught practice just connected on another level!
Awesome! Keep it up!
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge...you are a good man.
raul correa garcia- You bet!
Thanks again Ken your so nice and god bless u always cheers!👍👍👍

Excellent lesson again, Ken...this is why *you're the master!!!* 💗💗💗
Thanks for the kind words, Shauna Marie!
Great tips! Your course has been one of the best purchase decisions I have ever made. It explained things so well that I now understand what my other voice teachers were trying to explain to me - thanks so much!
Thanks, Azi! I appreciate you sharing that truth with all of the other viewers. So many of my students tell me that the course is a LIFE-CHANGER. It resets the course you are on for your entire SINGING LIFE! I'm glad it's helping you so much!
I love to sing, but when I sing, I've always felt like "I have no idea what I'm doing"...
this is certainly the channel I've been looking for.
it's brilliant how within a short amount of time you're able to convey so much knowledge and information, with lots of details.
the nerd inside is very pleased, seriously. haha
I'm looking forward to watch all the playlists!
thanks in advance :)
Sara, what you say is very insightful. So many people that think they are "cursed with a bad voice" simply do not know how to properly operate their instrument, which in this case, is the singing voice. If I handed a saxophone to a great "natural singer" and asked them to do a wailing solo, they probably wouldn't have any idea how to work it, and it might not sound so good. At all. It's a myth that you either are born a natural singer or you're not. There is a HUGE area in-between those two extremes that learning REAL vocal techniques that great singing depends upon can bring a lot of skills into the picture. The more you learn, the better you can become, with true, focused practice. There are all kinds of bogus "vocal coaches" who do not have hundreds of examples of them demonstrating difficult singing. What they "teach" you won't help. What I teach you comes from a lifetime of seeking the best vocal teachers in the world and sorting out who was right and who was not. If you LOVE to sing, then LEARN to sing. Yes, it CAN be taught. And THEN you will have a much better idea of what you are doing. MUCH better! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I'm glad you found me!
I'm glad as well... for a long time I've searched around the internet and only found vague explanations from "coaches". It's not like I sing out of tune, however, I'm sure I am not using the full potential of my voice. why be an "ok singer" when we can be awesome singers, right?
anyway, I'm very excited to learn! also, thanks for taking the time to write such an inspired answer
I decided to improve as a singer(like climbing the Everest) and you are really are helping me
I love Weekend Warrior. The video quality is great, and very helpful.
Awesome! Happy to hear that, Sally!
Just watching these videos for almost a week has improved my range and head voice - great advice will continue practising the techniques to improve more. I sing in a cover band so this will really help.
😊
Thanks Ken! At first I felt discouraged to sing since I have zero clue on pitch and tone. But you make it easier to understand.
King, the more you learn about how the voice works and how to operate it, the better you can become at singing. You have to spend some time sorting it all out and practicing, but you can get a lot better!
Great program! Cant wait to start
Time to get to it!
Amazing teacher
Kyle Hamilton- Thank you!
This connected the dots for me Ken. I find myself desiring to sing what is within my range..anything else becomes a distraction to enjoying and expressing from my heart. Learning about what is going on in the throat is so helpful. You are a great teacher
Rock on!😊
Hey Ken, great stuff! Helps and adds a lot to my singing coaches approach. Thank you, man! Cheers, Richard from Paris
Cheers Richard! Happy to hear this helped!
You are The BEST vocal coach on UA-cam 👍🏽👍🏽😉
Thank you, Pamshairexpo!
Great advice. Science behind the voice.
Thanks, adventrue00206!

Nevermore - Makes me very happy to know that!
