Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the proof is in the singing.
I’m here with KTVA vocalist Tori Matthiew.
Tori came to me, you were actually working at a restaurant, right?
When we met? Yeah!
And she wanted to become a professional vocalist.
And you know what?
It took about a year and a half, almost two years to get to that level.
You are making bank, actually, at Mastro’s.
Tell them your story, just a little bit.
We’ll talk about it more after, but…
Yeah, so, before, I was working at a restaurant, and I started the KTVA program, and basically
I put in the time and effort and really worked hard and put in all my efforts and I had goals,
and I just wanted to be something bigger, and Ken has made it happen, so I’m very thankful
for KTVA.
Cool.
We’re going to do, thank you, we’re gonna do Rihanna’s Love On The Brain, we’ll
do it first, we’ll talk about it after, like we always do.
Let’s Rock!
Awesome, girl!
Awesome!
Okay!
Well, a couple things.
And I think it’s really important, by the way…
How much do you practice?
Every day.
How much?
I would say... practicing-wise, probably an hour.
And then I – Oh, that’s all?
You talked the other day, about four to five hours.
Right.
4 to 5 hours, but I…
You warm up for an hour and then you do songs for three to four hours.
Yeah.
I do it before my gigs, so…
OK, and then how much do you sing a night?
(full-time?) Well, four hours a night, and then I work, like, five nights a week... so...
OK.
So you do five nights a week, you sing for four to five hours a night, and you do an
hour of vocal workout before that, correct?
Right.
OK.
Here’s the point, guys.
When you’re, if you really understand how to do this, and do this, and by the way…
one of the reasons I’m doing this, and thank you, Tori, for accommodating this and ingratiating
me, is that there’s a lot of stuff on the internet, you know.
Three easy steps to this, and two things to that, and one quick trick, and all that stuff.
She’s living proof of someone that has applied herself.
True Story.
Look her up.
Check her out.
Go to Mastro’s.
Go check her at Mastro’s Phoenix, what other Mastro’s have you played at?
Scottsdale.
So, City Hall, Ocean Grove…
So, go check her out, live.
You’re going to see the same thing you just saw here.
She does this four hours a night, does an hour vocal workout before, sometimes if she’s
working out songs, four or five hours in-between, and do you lose your voice very much?
Honestly never, really. Never.
But before KTVA did you lose your voice very much?
All the time.
I had sore throats, always sick, coughing, yeah.
It was a mess.
OK.
And by the way.
This is not a paid political announcement.
No.
We’re here just discussing voice.
The reason I say why this is so important is, is that there’s no quick pill.
There’s no five easy steps to doing anything.
It’s hard work.
Tori’s a living example of this.
And it’s awesome, but it’s doable.
And it’s super-cool.
And she’s, you’re only 20, right?
Yeah.
I believe we met each other when you were 18.
She’s been doing it for 2 years, right?
The course.
And you know, she went from working at a restaurant, in fact you got the gig within about a year
of just doing the course, right?
Yeah.
How long have you been working at Mastro’s?
A little over 2 years now.
OK.
So right at, pretty close to after doing the course, she became a professional singer.
It’s doable, guys.
It’s doable.
And anyway, thank you so much.
But Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the proof is in the singing!
We’ve got more coming your way, cause we’ve got some KILLER stuff coming out with Tori,
and I’m just excited to showcase her, cause she’s a very hard-working gal.
And I love that, and I love to see that in my students.
So, anyway, until next time!
Peace!
Out!
