Hey guys! Welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the proof is
in the singing! I wanted to do another vocal coach
reacts to Dimash video because, we got a lot of requests for this one after me
doing the first Dimash one, we got a lot of requests for "Sinful Passion." So we're
just gonna play it and talk about it along the way. Here we go!
The instrumentation is a little like
Hotel California with kind of a jazz ending. It's kinda cool!
Now I want to point out something.
I don't claim to, you know, be from Kazakhstan
or to speak the language but I'll just kind of... ha, I'll make a fool of myself
trying to mouth some of the lyrics along the way, as best as I understand them.
But he's obviously singing in a baritone register, so it's a pretty low register...
Na na no, no no no, So he's way down here, to start, and he's gonna, man, go through the
ceiling in a minute or so.
So stay in to the end. It's going to be worth it.
Nice tone, nice pitch...
Very emotional.
Bedroom voice
So all the way down there he's actually in a mixed voice.
He's actually kind of got a mixed voice going on. He could go
And he could bring his chest up and add air to the sound,
but that's not what he chose to do. He chose to mix down really low
and create air, both within chest and head, and create a really nice, breathy
mix voice. So let's continue...
Ah. So he goes into opera, he shifts into opera...
Whatever words he's saying, right?
But he's now kind of dropping the larynx, and he's going into a very
operatic approach to the song. But he goes back to a pop.
He goes in and out of Pop and so forth.
So pretty cool, man. It's very interesting
There's that mixed voice again.
He's in a mixed voice there.
Cool!
Very nice! :)
He's going back that opera thing,
but he's not quite like he did before. He's kind of splitting with a pop
sound and an operatic sound, both right here. So he's kind of changing it up and
mixing a little bit, and I suspect the reason for that is if he stays
dropped with a lower laryngeal position - your larynx is your Adam's apple, guys
so if it drops in a lower position like that
and you drop it,
it's really hard to relax to go to a neutral position and then go up for these higher
notes that he's about to take on. So let's check it out.
Cool!
He's staying very small in the sound. Very small.
Right! Again, he's mixing like I'm doing. I'm actually, I've got about 30% chest
and about 70% head, and he's mixing the sound, geniously going through the
passaggio. But he's using a lot of air to do it. Now if you guys are gonna want to
do this you're gonna want to learn how to cut back the air first, so that you
can get a nice robust connection between your chest and head voice, through the
passaggio, which is the register break, or I call it the "Speed Bump", and
you're going to want to cut way back on the...
and get through that break quietly first, before you can add this kind of
air to this sound, because this is a very advanced technique, okay? Here we go:
Great!
Now, I want to point something out. I want to back this up. Now. Remember me talking about when
you cover a sound go:
Right, and it's covered? Right?
He covers the first one very operatically, and he goes
Then he goes:
And then he opens up the sound the second time he goes up
Because as we go up, we have to open up the sound
or we'll lock down the larynx, and we won't be able to Relax and Release.
We'll carry up too much muscle mass to try to get up to higher positions. So he's shedding
the weight, just like I've talked to you guys about a million times. He's shedding
the weight as he goes up, and he's starting to bring the sound into the
front of the face, and bringing some, employing some MASK into it, as well.
let's continue
Nice!
See what I mean? He opened up the second time.
Nice!
Where is he going to go with this?
WHOAH!
I think that was a High E! Is that right? An E? uh... E 6? Hold on a second...
I've got to see for myself, here.
E6?
Ouch! Sorry about that! Ha, ah!
Holy cow! That was... I don't have enough frets on my guitar for that one.
Sorry about that! Ooh, my poor baby! :(
Anyway, that's an E6!
By the way, that is REALLY HIGH for a SOPRANO, much less someone that can
actually sing all the way down into the Baritone range. So Wow! That's all I can say is "WOW!"
Alright! Let's continue. That was awesome!
Let's go - WOW! And crystal-clear, too!
Can I back that up again? I just want to back that up and hear how he got into this!
Oohf!
Amazing!
Nice!
Killer!
Full Chest Belt!
WOW!!!!
He just went from... By the way, guys, here's how this is done, okay?
You don't just end up waking up one day doing this, okay?
You have to build a robust chest.
Just like what I just did.
You have to build a chest-resonant sound first, then
you've got to understand how to get through that passagio, hand it off
seamlessly into your head voice, have already worked your head voice up so
much that matches the tonal qualities of your chest voice, to make it sound like
one long, powerful note, like what he just did. That was what, a...? I think that's a
B-flat? No, it's... Yeah, is that a B-Flat? I think so. Come on, let me second-check again...
Yeah! It's a B-flat! Killing it! The guy's just killing it, man! Where did this... ?
I think he's really an alien from another planet. I think someone dropped him off
in Kazakhstan, and he's gonna, like, take over the world, ha, ha, and seriously, man! Hey!
You know what? In a world of AUTO-TUNE and, you know, No one's REALLY SINGING, they're
singing to tracks, and this and that, whatever. This guy's just KILLING IT!
Alright!
WOW!!!
GREAT!!!
Holy Cow!
I love that intervallic scale!
Just all those intervals, beautiful melodies, spot-on pitch, great tone, you
know, mixed voice is fabulous! Dude! I'm not worthy!
I'd love to see him go :
I want to see some DIO, kind of step into it a little bit!
Now I would love to hear some distortion. I was always, too - I don't know
if you can do that, too - but if he can, the guy's just gonna own Planet Earth!
Anyway, guys! Thank you for joining me, Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy!
DIMASH, Ladies and Gentlemen!
And thank you guys for pushing me to do this, because I just love
supporting great talent, and he is certainly GREAT TALENT!
So until next time, God Bless you guys! Peace. Out!
