  • I'm In Love! OMG! Love Your Voice. WOW!

  • very nice. Gives me the guts to try... Im a guitarist (16yrs) an its bout time I try.

  • Great stuff Ken!!

  • @Cohort227 :-)

  • Hey Ken, just came across your videos yesterday. I am a 16 year old guitarist (used to play piano) but i really would like to learn how to sing. I could write a huge paragraph on my questions and what not, but i'm really just wondering, where do i start? I don't have enough money to buy your dvd's quite yet, but i want to sing. The only time I can practice is on walks and stuff, cause I'm not to keen on practicing in my house. I would really appreciate it if you replied! Great vid.

    God Bless

  • @CapandTase you really need to have more time than that to practice to be candid....

  • @kentamplin Thanks for being honest Ken, I will hopefully have enough money soon to buy 'How to sing vol.1.' I guess its just time to nut up or shut up for me. I do have another question. Suppose I am able to practice consistently, should I bother with voice lessons, or just buy your dvd's? (or both?) Also, do you think it would be reasonable (after practicing with your dvd's consistently) to sing in a talent show in the summer?

    Thanks for your patience.

  • @CapandTase that depends on how you are able to learn. The DVD's are way better money wise thatn taking lessons. That could get quite expensive for you

  • @kentamplin Thank you for replying man, looks like I'm probably going to go with your DVD's. I'm sure I will learn a lot. Thanks again. :)

    God Bless

  • @CapandTase If you want to save some pennys and embarising practice, get a tune you know the word and love inside out. Play it on your system kinda loud so you can feel the music, Take a deep breath and kinda mumble sing it to get your tone right. then just get louder as your mojo get into it, It won't be instant takes a few weeks. Spread your favroite songs though as you will find you will hate hearing your favs if you practice them to much ;)

  • THIS IS AMAZING!!! ... Not even joking!!! .. I have learnt so much just from watching your youtube videos!!!!! THANKYOU! :D

  • @chloew419 thank you :-)

  • awesome

  • awesome job dude but arent the lyrics give me the beat boys and free my soul i wanna get lost in ur rock n roll?

  • @aliceinchainsrox131 a changed them for a more spiritual connotation

  • I wanna be like you when I grow up

  • Hi Ken... Please make acoustic versions like this of "Make Me Your Voice" from Make Me Your Voice: Worship Leaders Unite For The Voiceless Of Sudan and "Sing Hallelujah" from In The Witness Box. God bless you. You're the best Sir.

  • please look at mine!!

  • Awesome Talent to draw a crowd. All I have is charisma. But it works for me,lol. E

  • So much talent!!!!!

    I want a Ken Tamplin for christmas :D

  • Anyone Know how much it costs to ship the DVD's over to another country such as England rather than downloading?

  • @RyanMTube it isd inlcuded in the price. there are no extra shipping charges

  • Hey i have only been *attempting to sing' for a couple of months and seeing ever so slight improvements but i cant get past a G4 (hurts when i try to push through unless i go to falsetto) and the notes close to that don't sound great when i sing them but i cant seem to build on how to improve them and was wondering if your Vocal videos were worth me buying or i should just quit whilst i'm ahead, Hope you get this :) - New to youtube to so i dont know if this actually sent or not :(:)

  • @RyanMTube send me a sample of your sinnging ktvainfo@gmail.com and I can better answer your question

  • Good job man. Isn't God good. Love your song and voice. Keep up the good work man. PEACE!!!!

  • I really think it would've been better if you would have kept the lyrics original :p Nice voice though

  • wew this song so nostalgic i didnt knew other people sing it ehheh

    the lyrics seem quite different though nice work

  • Beautiful voice. Wow. :)

  • This is amazing

    

  • you have a very beautiful voice

  • @DirtyMoney62 thank you

  • Your awesome, Ken :D I just bought your Volume One and am excited to finally try it. Could you make a cover of "Livin on a prayer"? Rock on! -Kevin

  • @DrunkGuitar I did cover it, a portion of it is on my 80's song demo reel here on my channel

  • @kentamplin Damn thats high :D The entire song would be awesome..when you get time would be cool to see you rock your version :)

  • lol like the lyric change there sweet and funny and meaningful

  • Love this! :)

  • amazing! i think your rendition is awesome, and you captured the emotion perfectly, though still maintaining your own voice and not sounding like a copycat. I think this would sound awesome with the TC helicon.

  • without the beard and mustache and with black hair you look like the person from suite life of zack and cody any way ur really good im suscribing :D

  • ehhh, lyrics =//.. great voice tho, really great..

  • YOUR AMAZING. YOU INSPIRE ME I LOVE THIS SONG AND YOU COVERED IT GOOD!!

  • You have a great voice.

  • that was amazing!

  • I love this song :D this new song lol

  • this was the first time I'd ever seen voice lessons on here never knew there was such a thing this is me watching my second vid of you...interesting

  • cool story bro. i wanna get like this one day.

  • its appering more and more to me that you are the only one on youtube that understands how to do it correctly. your rock bro.

  • Hey Ken :)

    Could you view one of my videos and tell me what i need to work on, vocally?

    *Subbed*

  • @WadeSmithAcoustic send me the link and I will check it out

  • nice ken you rocked it~!!!

  • One of my fav tunes from the 70's....:)

  • wow....ur so cool :') have a rock star voice but its soft aswell witch makes it beautiful :')

  • fuck yea amazing

  • Hey Ken, do you have an e-mail where I can send you a sample of my voice too please?

    I am going to buy your Vocal Academy DVD's and i'm in talking with your assistant Rob at the moment about it! :)

  • @DanFletcherMusic sure... send it to ktvainfo@gmail.com

  • Hey that a beautiful song

    I'm a good singer. But lately its like i try to sound like the singer how can i get my natural voice

  • I'm so used to the Dobie Gray version of this song, but you totally changed the lyrics to fit Christianity, I love it. I can barely sing, but I want to learn so bad. Do you have any advice?

  • I really enjoy your voice and would be overjoyed to learn to sing like you , I know I have it in me if I tried to learn, sadly, cannot afford the lessons, anyhow, thanks for being an inspiration!

  • Hi, I wanted to ask a question. Mitch Allan (former lead singer of SR-71) has, I think, one of the best voices in the world. Do you have any tips on how to get the raspy, ripping tone of his voice like in "Axl Rose" i.e when he says the word "Where"? To be able to get that ripping out of my voice would mean the world to me. Thanks.

  • @Musclecar1973 that comes from years of singing (like aging a fine wine). To do this prematurely will hurt your voice. You would lean into the sound and over time develop rasp like this. There is a right way and a wrong way to do this.

  • @kentamplin Thank you for your response I appreciate it. I have another question. I've noticed that many of my favorite singers that have a ripping tone to their voice i.e David Lee Roth, Jack Black, Axl Rose, smoke and or drink. Does that have an impact on their ability to do this and on their voice overall? Thanks.

  • @kentamplin Thank you for your response. I have another question. I've noticed over the years that many of my favorite singers that have a ripping tone to their voice i.e David Lee Roth, Axl Rose, Jack Black, smoke and or drink. Does this affect their ability to do this and does it affect their voice overall? Thanks

  • @Musclecar1973 over time it molst definitely does effect their voice. Especially smoking

  • @kentamplin So I'd imagine that smoking is basically a major contributor/boost to the raspy, tearing tone of rock vocalists? I appreciate all of your responses. Thanks

  • @Musclecar1973 it contributes however, I don;'t smoke and can sing in a very raspy tone...the difference is that I can clean up my sound as well and use both

  • @kentamplin Thank you for your answers and I appreciate your honesty. If I ever become a famous singer, I'll be sure to credit you and maybe collaborate on a song ;)

  • <3 oh buddy!

  • You're a great singer. I've been learning how to sing better just by watching you and listening to you. I'm a song writer and my friends have been pushing me to sing them. And I'm an average singer at the moment, friends say I'm good. But I think not. So thank you my good sir.

  • u got a singing tec. like no other keep that up bro

  • 1st August 2011 was a day in my life I will always remember....It was the day I first heard Ken Tamplin sing Drift Away!!!

  • Your main vid on YouTube was a complete ad where you basically listed your accomplishments and all that you know without providing any useful information.... But this vid made me realize that you totally know what you're talking about vocally. You sound phenomenal man.

  • wow thats amazing.

  • My Mentor..

  • i really injoy your singing , but i really wanted to try out for Canada's got talent. My friend davey says i wont make it only becasue he want to go in it to. People say that my voice is better then his only because i dont stairne my voice as he does and i can hit really high and really low notes. I need to know how to contorl my voice a little bit better but dont know how. I also dont know how to keep my voice in a long tring of note. Could you show me how?

    Thanks -Alicia

  • @Azma27 you can send me a sample of your singing  ktvainfo@gmail.com

  • woot christian song! #1 wana get lost in the holly ghost!

  • LOOOOVE it, you rock man. What a breath of fresh air!

  • I've been singing this song with you since i first heard this video a few years back. Thanks for the motivation Ken <3

  • Can I send you some of my songs, so you can review them and tell me what I'm doing good/what I need to improve

  • @fester554 if yo mean what you are doing right or wrong singing...yes ktvainfo@gmail.com

  • @kentamplin thanks!

  • @kentamplin I dont think your good a singing. I could do better......NO! just kidding man i thought that was bad ass homie. This is the truth you got more talent than some of these new stars. Keep on man You kick ass

  • i like the lyric change up man!

  • gorgeous voice amazing spirit....thank you for sharing:)

  • can u tell me ur revised lyrics to this song?

  • i luv it!!

  • very nice good vocals

  • ...nice. But why the lyric change....???

  • @hammerman3737 I just wanted to make it spiritual. I liked the idea of that better because it felt like the lyric lent itsefl to that

  • @kentamplin

    Wow, way cool. Wish I could sing.. Been playing geeetar all my life.

  • @ElectroReptilian yeah I remember when I thought the same thing. I'm a guitar player turned singer

  • @kentamplin You can be both. Some people sing with their guitar. Like Andy Mckee, Sungha Jung, Igor Presnyakov, and some other guy I can't remember who. lol, but the point is to not just train yourself in one field after you start to get experienced. Ken's obviously great at guitar, so use his vocal course if u can afford it and use a nice guitar for accompanyment.

  • @kentamplin i went to your website and everything cost money:( is there any lessons that are free? i have alot of friends that wanna join but just dont have the money

  • @TheBlackBarbieee I have a LOT o f videos on the site and on youtube that don't cost money that will really help you...check them out..

  • @kentamplin where are they nd there titles?

  • @TheBlackBarbieee I don't understand your question?

  • @kentamplin where are the videos and what are their titles

  • @TheBlackBarbieee check out my channel for starters...

  • @TheBlackBarbieee There's actually also a webinar for non-KTVA users this Friday though you have to subscribe to the webinar newsletter so they can "invite" you as spaces are limited if I'm not mistaken :). The info is on the website under "Resources" -> "Webinar"

  • @hammerman3737  Love it! Thanks for sharing :)

  • ...nice.

    

  • VERY GOOD!!!!!!!!

  • I can hit those notes but the shift between my "rock" edge voice and my chest voice is hard to control.. =(

  • If I send you a sample of me singing can you give me a little advice? I saw your comment back to TheJesseaume101

  • @GeekPartyOf1 yes send to ktvainfo@gmail.com

  • @GeekPartyOf1 yes

  • hey ken, i sing in a band and ive just practiced singing getting better and better with practice but i have a deep voice, and i have noticed that ive gotten to sing higher and higher but i have a problem where if i sing louder, my voice will either crack or not be able to hit the right note. any tips?

  • @thetriggers911 you are welcome to send me a sample of your singing for an evaluation  ktvainfo@gmail.com

  • Amen Ken. God bless you.

  • God bless you, Ken Tamplin.

  • @misselliearendt thanks :-)

  • this is amazing! is it dobie gray's version? What's the key? Trying to figure out the chords :)

  • Hey Ken, I'm 14 and I don't have enough money to but your lessons but how can I sing? My brother broke my nose so I can't sing the same, how can I sing because I really want to. Any advice?? Thanks

  • @TheJusseaume101 you can send me a sample of your singing to ktvainfo@gmail.com

  • @kentamplin ... could I do the same? (chained from thejuss)

  • I love Uncle Krackers version of this, but this is also pretty damn beasty, im trying to learn to ing this good for a show in coll, i have to sing Ewan McGregur - Your Song and as you may have guessed i aint hittin the high notes too well lol. anyways how do you do this Open Throat Technique you speak of?

  • Kevin , Your singing us amazing and i Love what You did with The lirycs and so i know that You are not that famoud just because God has better things for You, God bless You !!

  • Um ur amazing but I lose hope in becoming famous after seeing u why aren't u famous cuz ur voice is equal to or even better than chris cornell(which is my fav. Vocalist) but can u please share ur thoughts on why u think u didn't become as famous as he is? Cause it's not fair u deserve to be up there with the greats!

  • hey ken, i want to be able to sing like or similar to john lennons style. Not so much about range as tone is important. I'm having a problem when i record my voice. It will sound good when its played at a high volume, but when i lower the volume, it loses all power and tone, any advice?

  • @27dedrummer send me a sample of your voice

  • @kentamplin ktvainfo@gmail.com

  • the holy ghost is just the mind and its thought process and the peace that you seek is more of a feeling of calmness and bliss which is just a brief detachment from your mind, in my opinion

  • :') i have god in my heart..oh and jesus too!

  • When I was listening to this song, I started to get really happy and all of a sudden half way through all of these like fuzz balls fell from the ceiling. The is no draft of air or windows open or vents. I do not know how to explain this....

  • Aw dude that's awesome, standing up for God. :)

  • Duuuuuuuuuude, I love the remix!

  • You are an insperation to me! This really is amazing and takes giant amouts of talent and you have more than enough! I love the raspy-ness to your voice and it just astonishes me! I can't emphasize enough that this is so good. Thank you for posting this so I can enjoy listening to this as much as you enjoy playing it! You should be known around the wolrd more than you already are! I'll try my best to spread the word about you so everyone can enjoy this and learn from you. Take care keep it up!

  • You deserve much more views and attention than you have. I'll try my best to spread the word about you. You also have an outstanding voice, if you were not aware of that yet. But seriuosly, you have amazing talent. Take care.

  • wow i luv ur voice i lik to sing but im still a kid and do not hav an amazing voice lik u but i want to go to a performing arts camp to improve ,please can u let me kno some tips to be a little beter

  • Amazing! God bless!!

  • wow Ken awesome bro im going to check out you're site now PTL RP

  • Absolutly the way im wanting to sing and the whole guitar chord progression is amazing but im not a fan of the references to god. Very heartfelt tho n regardless of religion is a fantastic song

  • Not only can you sing but you also play guitar ? Wow you are Amazing !

  • Not only can you sing but you also play guitar ? Wow you are Amazing !

  • I take it you are a Christian? PTL

  • @TheStratman2011 Yes I am

  • ken, when hitting the high notes how do you get them to be loud still? when ever i get to the top of my range it starts to sound quieter. is this normal?

  • @PurpleHat1991 I use a technique called "Open Throat Technique" where I literally open the very very back of my throat when I sing. I then compress the amount of air that I am using (so as not to use too much and dry out the chords).

  • @PurpleHat1991 thats sooo ture i hav no idea how to fo that i think its hard and i really want to be a singer!!!

  • @morghancassie start by holdiing the root note you are wanting to sing. Slowly drop the note 1/4 to 1/2 half tone note below the note you are singing and jog between the two notes. Little by little try to pick up the speed of jogging between the two notee. Eventually it will be so comfortable it will become "natural."

  • hi i was wondering can anyone learn to sing from scratch or do you have to have some talent to do what you do which i have to say is amazing man you got a great voice

  • @MrBigbuza yes they can

  • @kentamplin thank you god sir you really showing good stuff here i will be checking this out you seem like an amazing teacher who not only says he can teach you how to sing but shows it!!

  • on top of being an amazing singer I have to say nice guitar playing!

  • WOW great man love your voice and style wish i was half as good as you thanks dave

  • AMEN.......I LIKE YOUR PASSION FOR SINGING

  • I just have to say, you are a very impressive singer. I have been singing all my life, and I have a ridiculous (not trying to brag) range of styles that I enjoy singing. I consider myself to be a fairly good singer, although I've never done anything with my voice in particular. Just wanted to say I love the idea of this academy you have started. Do you only pay for what you want? I'm not sure the website clarifies this.

  • @GuitarInuendo I have a DVD series that needs to be followed the way I lay out. If you do it as I show, it will rock your voice beyond anything you could have expected from yourself. I also give web cam lessons and in studio coaching

  • can you help me with the belting technique i need help?

  • inspiring ... I like the change in lyrics!

    Yes, The Holy Ghost gives us Peace!

  • wow i laughed and am still smiling.. i was not expecting THAT (in a good way)!

  • Ken, excellent guitar playing and your voice is awesome. You are truly blessed!

  • Your Amazing...

  • Woah, this is great!... All your videos are great!!

  • daaaaaaaaaaaaam you are gooooood

  • daaaaaaaaaaaaaam u are good

  • yea holy ghost? hey, whatever floats

  • i got a recording studio mixer thing at my house and i just listened to my self sing heaven by warrant and i sound similar to jani lane, which i am proud of, the only problem i have is the louder singing part. Does your academy teach how to sing louder and do yell parts in songs?

  • 16 people are jealous of Ken Tamplin.

  • Ken Tamplin, I can honestly say that you are the first inspiration I have encountered in all of my 20 years! Can you really take an unexperienced voice and make it as perfect as yours? I would very much like to learn from you.. Could you really make something beautiful out of nothing special?!

    -Becca Nicole

  • @BeeutifulLife thank you Becca. Actually, it is not I that can make you great, it is you that can make you great. I can only give you the proper tools :-)

  • Holy Ghost!

  • Ken how much would you charge to teach me how to sing like a pro p.s I am willing to work hard

  • @bry946 all the info is up on the ken tamplin vocal academy. com site...

  • reminds me of chris cornell, your really good at what you do!

  • @AppleFaction chris and I use the same vocal technique as does Myles Kennedy

  • @kentamplin thats cool, i play guitar and am a big fan of Chris Cornell and soundgarden, but im a terrible singer :(, so i try to avoid that whole league of music.

  • @kentamplin What vocal technique is that? Myles Kennedy is my favorite musician on the planet, i personally consider him one of the best singers EVER!

  • @Tallguyalec one of the vocal coaches I studied under for many many years was Ron Anderson. As did Myles and Chris Cornell...

  • @kentamplin I was just about to say I only know of two artists that can apply a similar technique as you do that would be the great myles kennedy beautiful voice. Axel Rose too. The best singing voice I have EVER heard must be Chester Bennington of Linkin Park - Such control from low to high and such power

    its nice to listen to you ken nice, I have no high pitch control what so ever, my voice is all Bass XD

  • you are an amazing singer and i just i don't know but your my hero!

  • omg i love ken tamplin!lol

  • your a really inspirational singer

  • are those avenged sevenfold inlays???

  • Man i really need help i am a horrible singer and for mine and my gfs one year i wanted to sing our song for her but im HORRIBLE!

  • dang ur good!!!!

  • Amen! Love it! God bless you brother

  • That's really really good but the lyrics are very wrong,,,

  • @wortnot1 they were meant to be that way...
