Hey, guys! Welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the PROOF is
in the SINGING! I'm doing a whole series on You Ask - Ken
Answers, and we're getting some awesome questions from all over the world! It's
really, really cool. You can post them on YouTube, you could
post them on Facebook, you can post them in my singing forums... I'm trying to
answer relevant, pertinent questions to help you guys grow as singers, okay? This
next question comes to us from Adele from France and she asks: "Isn't it better
to take lessons from "fro" someone in persona?" I think you mean from someone
and in person. Anyway, not making fun of you, by the way. You know. It came in. Here it
is. So ok. There's a yes and a no to that. Ok? The yes is if you have someone
that's really truly qualified that can get you to another level. And let me
explain what I mean by that. Let's pretend that I'm a personal
trainer to teach you, physical trainer. And let's say that I tell you
Alright. you're you know let's say you're overweight and you want to lose some
weight, right? And I say ok I want you to run up and
down that street. And so you take my advice and you run up and down that
Street, right? And then I said can we get to do it again. And you run up and down
that Street again. And I want you to do it two times! You do it two times. You do
it three times. There is a certain level of success that you'll gain from that.
And it had really nothing to do with the guy that told you to run up and down the
street. You could have done it on your own. But you run up and down the
street and you feel like hey man I'm like feeling stronger I'm losing a
little weight I'm feeling pretty good about myself,
right? But that person really didn't give you good quality information on how to
really advance the physicality of what it is that you're looking to do to lose
weight over time and sustain it. They just told you to run up and down that
street. So just because you have someone in person that tells you how to do
something like this doesn't mean that you're gonna grow that much, because it
has to do with the information that they have, how they can read your body and
read underneath and really give you good direction.
Now I'm not dissing all, you know, in person training. That's
silly. But what I am saying is have you noticed that most all colleges have gone
to online training. Yes, you can - online professors into class. Classes and
stuff so yes you can go to a coach in person, but it really has to do with the
quality of the information that you get that's gonna make you better. Now if
you're not a self-starter and you know, you're not self-motivated and
you're da, da, da, da and you need a personal trainer to crack the whip on you, okay, I
understand, but it still doesn't mean that you're gonna yet I'll tell you to
run up and down that street it doesn't mean that you're gonna get quality
information. So my suggestion is, and like I said I'm gonna go back to the
college thing is that you can get killer information online. I have a singing
course right now, for example, called How to Sing Better Than Anyone else. You can
get 40 years of my life experiences in touring and
recording and music for film and television, and training other band
members along the way on how to sing and so forth. You can get that at a fraction
of the cost of going to a personal local coach. Well, this is true for online
training courses, too. Or for colleges, excuse me, where you can get that
information of some professor at USC or Berkeley or Stanford or wherever. Right?
And you can get that information online instead of traveling thousands of miles
or hundreds of miles it's going to a brick and mortar building on their
timeframe which is big big deal on their timeframe where it's on your timeframe
and you're not paying for room and board and food and all this stuff. You could
just get it electronically delivered to your doorstep, and work on it at your own
pace, in the way you want. So what I did is I put together a singing forum. It
has a lot of killer moderators in there. So if you need to go back and get
information from these monitors to check you and post a video and say hey, you
know, how am i doing? And by the way, I do this at my own expense. I don't have to
do this for you guys. No offense. I don't get paid for that, and it's not part of
the program in the sense that I owe you anything. I do it because I want to see
people to grow. And then of course, yes. You can take lessons for me. I'm
expensive, and I'm, you know, and and my time is limited, so
it would be, you know, having to find a time zone and frame. But in the end, I
tried to put together a complete course, where you guys could go get killer
information on your own, do it for a while, and then when you need a question
go into the forums. You sign in, and you'll get a good moderator that's gonna
answer your questions for you, and help you on your journey for singing. So
hopefully this answered your question, and God bless, and peace.. out!
