Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the PROOF really is in
the singing!
I decided to take on another Whitesnake tune.
This time I chose Here I Go Again.
Now David Coverdale is actually one of my all-time favorite rock vocalists, and he came
from a band called deep purple, as you know.
You probably remember other singers like Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner, Graham Bonnett, Ian
Gillen…
All these guys were just amazing.
So if you don’t know them, look them up.
Anyway, we are going to focus on David, his compression, distortion, range, and power.
So we’ll do it first, talk about it after, like we always do.
Let’s rock!
Love John Sykes!
Okay.
A lot of information on that one!
A lot of stuff going on here, man!
Okay, so, what’s cool about David, he’s basically a baritone, like me!
Which can take a baritone register and belt way up into the stratosphere, which is cool…
And has power in his range.
By the way, if you like what you heard, please like and subscribe to my channel, that would
be super awesome!
I have a singing course called How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else, and you can click
here to check it out!
And I negotiate and discuss all of this stuff, which is also really cool, or, check this out!
You can join my singers forums!
I have like 10,000 members in there, and really great singers, and eight moderators, just
awesome stuff, where we talk about all this stuff and how we get to these places.
So if you’re interested, check this out.
It’s worthy.
Getting back to this.
So, David used a lot of what I call hyper – glottal compression.
Fancy words.
What it is, is, it’s an understanding of how to control the breath and get into smaller
spaces as we go up top.
So what we do is, as we go up top, we actually pare down the sound, close down the sound.
Now, it sounds like I’m killing it and opening up, and it’s like Roaring Lion up top.
And I am, I am Kickin' butt…
I mean I’ve got my diaphragm working.
Check out my video on diaphragmatic support, all that stuff.
I’m definitely using a lot of strength.
No doubt.
I’m not saying I’m not.
But, what I’m doing is, I’m kind of deceiving you and making you think you’re hearing
a sound that’s bigger than it really is.
I’m compressing the sound and making it smaller, the higher up I go, and when I use
distortion, even more so, so I can control the sound up and down the spectrum of the voice.
This is really, really critical and important.
Now, I cover all of this stuff in my singing course on how to attain and achieve this kind
of compression, but you have to start off clean first.
And then, eventually, work your way up to this kind of distortion for good vocal health.
