Hey everybody welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I'm doing some Q&A where you're asking
me questions and I'm doing my best to answer them and I want to go ahead and
keep rocking on these questions here. The next one is how can I sing louder
without hurting myself. That's a good question. Thank you for
asking that. Well there's a process to singing and I've discussed this before.
In singing you don't just walk out and start singing
or you can and you know some people do that and that's fine. Let me, let me
rephrase that that answer. There is a specific way to build the building
blocks of a voice and we've talked about this before and I don't want to go through this
again. There's support, relaxation, chest, neck and throat muscles and so forth but
I'm just gonna get to the more one of the final stages of the building process
of this and you have to go back and watch you know the building blocks of
great singing so that you understand that there is a process that leads up to
this but I want to go straight to the throat wah wah wah what it takes to
be a great singer..excuse me, not what it takes to be a great singer what how you.. Ken let's
do this again. How can I sing louder without hurting my myself. Sorry I'm
doing a lot of questions so bear with me a second. Well now there's only one
true sound that grows the voice. Let me say this again. This is a fact.
There is only one true sound that really grows the voice. Now I'm not saying you
can't sing in other styles and there's a lot of other people with lighter voices
and so forth and great singers too. We just did one on Luther Vandross and he
doesn't sing hard and heavy. He's got a beautiful, gorgeous, round sound and
there's a lot of people like that that um that don't sing brassy and pointed
you know with a very pointed sound but the the sound that grows the voice. I
have a slogan and it is ping is king. Ping is king okay. It's this bright,
timbral sound. Now in opera Chiaroscuro which just mean means oscuro which means
brightness with warmth around it. So we don't want this brassy, harsh, shrill
sound coming at us. We want brightness and then the warmth around. So in other words
we want clarity and brightness with a big warm sound. Well Ken that still
doesn't answer the question how do we.. how can I sing louder without hurting
myself or going hoarse. So as we grow resonance so we start ah la (sings)
Hear that bright ah ah ah that bright ping in my voice. Okay that is the again we
have building blocks. We start with support we've talked about that. We start
with a relaxation response, we start with open throat technique and we go into
these these pillars that sustain and support this and then the icing on the
cake of that in order to build resonance, we go into this part. So we want to start (sings)
and it's that bright ping that's not forced, that bright ping will start to
grow and get bigger and bigger and bigger. It's like working out at a gym
and your muscles start to get bigger. Well if you do this responsibly and you
do this correctly and you understand vowel modifications and all the other
things that come into play in order to do this correctly and again I cover all
this in my singing course called How to Sing Better Than Anyone Else and I walk
you through this step-by-step how to do this. As you grow this bright tone, this
tonal quality and you get rid of this feeling of like you're gagging on your
vowel sounds so you get good open throat technique so you're not feeling like
you're choking on your notes. You go through and you start to exercise and
build muscle memory for this bright, timbrel sound and as you grow this sound
as you start to get stronger and your body gets stronger, this sound starts to
get bigger and louder and you start to preserve your voice and you find that
you're able to sing much much longer. Now let me give you a kind of a fun example
of this. I get people from all over the world as you can imagine and people fly
in from all over the world to work with me and I had this one young gal, she was
from Korea and she talks so soft and she's sang so soft and her artists
were you know Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande and Christina Aguilera. You know
whatever and these are the artists that she wanted to go after. We worked on this
bright, timbrel sound for about an hour a day, five to six days a week and by the
end of one year. This didn't happen in five quick lessons, it wasn't five easy
minutes to sing, none of that baloney and that is baloney because again you're..
it's a muscle or a group of muscles and you're building up a muscle structure. So
think of yourself going to the gym how am I..how long is it gonna take you to
get buff okay but within a course of about a year, this sista even she still
talked really soft but once she sang (sings) you know she had he's like.. she was killing
it right. So you know in about a year it's a realistic and a reasonable time.
Does that mean you're gonna be great in a year. No you're not gonna be great in a
year no one's great at anything in a year. They can get you know decent at something but when
you and maybe your definition of greatness and my definition of greatness is
different but but in about a year you can see incredible... you'll see gains
right away by the way this isn't something like you got a wait a year to
see your gains but in about a year you'll see just an amazing difference in
your your sustenance, your ability, your longevity to sustain notes, to get
brighter, bigger, louder and do this without going hoarse. Now another
interesting thing about this too. It's a little side note and then we'll close, is that
when let's say you want to go to a soccer game, a futball game right..
football match or you want to go to some sporting event and you find yourself
screaming your brains out and you lose your voice right and most
otolaryngologists or EMTs will say you know okay take three days off, don't
talk for three days until your voice comes back. This is true for a lot of
things like getting sick with post nasal drip and whatnot just stop singing you
know until your you know your sickness goes away and then resume
singing. That's actually not true if you understand what you're doing. If you do a
vocal warmup, let's say 45 minutes to an hour and you've already gone through the
process, you know how to do it correctly and you go scream your brains out at a
soccer match right and you pretty much go hoarse because you've been screaming
for 90 minutes or whatever whatever and then you come back the very next day
and you do your vocal warm-ups and you put agility and flexibility and
elasticity back in the chords because the chords are collagen, they're made of
pure collagen and you put moisture back in the collagen and all of a sudden the
resiliency and the flexibility comes right back right. The elasticity in it
for its ability to stretch. It'll blow your mind. You're gonna go oh my gosh I
could hardly speak last night, protocol would be to take a couple three days off
till my voice heals but I do Ken Tamplin's workout and all of a sudden my voice is
back just back in action right. Why this is so cool is because I deal with a lot
of very high-end professional singers that sing night, after night, after night.
They might sing 1, 2, 3 hours especially if they're doing in a cover band or
something and let's say they overdid it one night, they don't
have to take the next day off because they're used to training in that way.
They just gently, carefully, correctly get back on the wagon and they start you
know warming up their voice again they could go out and sing and kick butt and
they didn't miss a beat okay. Hopefully this is.. will help you and
this is how you can sing without losing your voice and sing louder, hurting
yourself alright. Alright please like and subscribe to my
