Hey everybody welcome back again to Ken Tamplin vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I got quite a few requests for this one
and it's Roy Orbison we do this by request or I do this by request and I
want you guys to know I try to get to as many requests as I can and it depends a
lot on you know the view count of course but also if you can find good videos and
YouTube has been cracking down quite a bit on everybody about what videos you
can or can't use so I have to kind of comb and find something that looks
like it might be worthy or at least a song I know that's worthy. Now I would
have loved to have done "Pretty Woman" or maybe some of his more popular songs
"Crying" is still a very popular song but hopefully I haven't seen this yet but
it'll be exemplary of his voice and his talent. So without much further ado let's
just dive right in
Alright now we.. I don't know when I'm
gonna release these videos but I did a video of Dis smash Dimash doing "Hello"
by Lionel Richie and then I also did Luther Vandross and we talked a lot
about mixed voice especially in the Luther video. He is doing the same thing
you know (sings) right he's using a
very very sensitive tone, adding some warmth and bringing kind of a head chest
mix in it. Mostly chest, a real soft you know
brought up chest sound with a lot of air but he's not real shrill or real belty
on the sound at al.l He's real warm and he has a lot of you know caprino
vibrato he uses a lot of goats wiggle vibrato but that's his thing
but he kind of approaches it more like a crooner you know what I mean. Like you
know old-school everything from Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr. you know that
approach. So if anything he'd be the first to do it and Harry Connick Jr
came along after the fact not Sinatra but Harry Connick and others you know
Buble etc but so with that said let's take a listen with a view towards that
here we go.
I love that change so 50s.
Or 60s
So if you notice like I said it's kind of like a late 60s and 50s like I said late sixties
late 50s early 60s mid 60s kind of sound. It's very unassuming but what's cool
about it you know kind of like the Beach Boys and others who also were a little
unassuming in some of the way they approach their music, is it's not real in
your face. So it actually makes you kind of strained to want to listen to it and
that actually kind of draws you in to his sound. You know what I mean. So it's like
Jack Johnson is like that, there's other Shaddai you know where they're not you
know just belting at you they, they're kind of a real wind summon. The
way they present their art and draw you in to have you listen to their story so
it's cool.
Good songwriting man.
So let's do this together for my singer friends instead of (sings)
instead of belting into the sound, I want you to do this real gentle
(sings) right.
I'm actually in head voice, I'm bringing just a little bit of chest into the
sound and I'm adding some air so (sings) instead of (sings).
Now I can add more mixed (sings) right. I can add a little bit more
resonance into that sound and make it louder or bigger or bolder more bold but in
this case like I said he's real sweet on it, real gentle. Now you can take that
sound if you guys want to grow your passagio.
and you can do some sirens to sort of force that throat or you know um stretch
and train that throat to stay open so that you can bring your head voice down
in through the passaggio in through your mixed voice area and chest and get a
percentage of that mixed voice without hearing the register break or without
hearing the yodel or what I call the speed bump okay. So I just wanted to
clarify that because you can really hear let me, let me back this up again and
listen to the exchange as he goes from chest to head on the word I okay here we
go.
Now it's more chest.
More chest.
Still more chest in it.
See (sings) he's adding a lot of air did that sound as he's coming back down, he's kind of mixing it
to give me a mixed voice for a real nice, sweet, gentle sound.
It's more chest.
That's a chest mix but more chest. (sings) You know he's got more chest in the sound that's
cool.
If you look closely at that guitar, player let me back this up real close,
kind of looks like Bruce Springsteen a little bit check it out.
Doesn't that look like Bruce.
A little bit.
I think so.
Try that (sings).
Right so that's pure head voice it's nice.
Nice.
Good command of his voice guys.
It's beautiful.
More chest.
Nice.
Very nice.
Killer.
You know Roy man he's been around a long time I forget how old he is but he's
he's way up there in his years and he's still killing it man that's awesome.
You know I saw Frankie Valli not that long ago either doing the Jersey Boy
tour and he was also killing it and he's like way up there in his years
also. I grew up on that stuff roller skating to some of his music
when I was like 5 years old and he was kind of you know, he was probably in his
teens or late 20s early 20s back then so. Anyway guys if you like what you heard
