Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I got a lot of requests for this one and
that's Jinjer and the song is called Pisces I believe it's like after the
astrological sign or could be pieces I don't know but I think it's Pisces and I
wanted to make a few comments along the way but before I do that I think it's
interesting that in kind of any extreme sport the guys do something first and so
in this case it's growl and then the girls come along and then they do it you
know later and this is true and kind of almost any discipline it could be
surfing it could be skiing it can be skateboarding you know whatever that is
gymnastics I don't care what you know extreme sport it is but usually the guys
kind of do something crazy and the girls go I want to do that or I can do that
better or I want to be I want to be in the crowd you know in the in-crowd so
and so we see a surgent of a lot of this with a lot of these girls coming
out and doing a lot of growl and scream and whatnot and so Jinjer certainly is
in that camp but let's go ahead and do it first we'll make comments along the
way and let's rock
it's nice
good, tight band.
cool you know she's got this nice, sweet, tender voice and I know she's gonna
throw down like crazy here in a second but you know she's got this real sweet
gentle voice and all of a sudden (growls) it's coming out so get ready to rock. Here we go
I like how a lot of the bands are getting progressive with this and I'm going to
talk about one of my other students in a minute
okay so and then she starts throwing down really hard and there's a few girls
out there doing this. I had a brief stint with a gal by the name of Lauren Hart
she is in a band called Once Human and she's guesting for Camelot right now so
I'm gonna go ahead and put a couple of her links in the description so you can
kind of check out the way she growls as well it's very similar and you know
basically like we've discussed before this is just the relaxation of a false
false vocal fold and relaxing into a state where you go into kind of like
barking like a dog or like growling now Lauren actually has a video out on how
to growl so if you go to youtube and YouTube Lauren Hart (spells name) Hart
and you know she gives tips and tricks on how to growl and she describes
exactly how she got to that place be really careful because the overuse of
this could really destroy your chords pretty quickly so you got to be really
careful but let's continue here and see what we got
okay now I actually did a video on you know fry and growl and scream I'm not as
extreme as this is on the sound but I want to go ahead and play one of the
screams that I've done it's kind of the precursor to this so you start out with
a little bit of distortion and then you kind of maturate into getting
a little bit more and then a little bit more a little bit more. This is my video
called: How to Sing with Fry, Growl and Distortion and I'm doing this live here
in the video so let me just play it and you can hear me kind of throwing down in
a similar fashion but more on the musical side of it okay here we go
okay so you know it's kind of it's not quite as extreme as the other form of
growl where you're just releasing a lot of mass and girth in the throat and and
hunkering down on the cords themselves. Mind you can actually do in
different ranges so if you notice they stay really low on the sound and it's
real rumbly in the bass treble or the bass clef excuse me meant to say and and
that's how you sort of get that sound Mine also you know you can do screams up
high and bring them down low and and just add percentages of distortion to
how you want to sing. I cover all of this in my singing course called how to sing
better than anyone else so if you're interested you can find it at
KenTamplinVocalAcademy.com please stop by our singing forums we have
over 20,000 people in there talking about all kinds of stuff like this so
let's continue with Jinjer and let's rock
I like how she was able to go back to a clean tone
she's got a real, nice, sweet, bright tone I don't hear
a lot of diaphragmatic support in it but I do when I hear her do the growl so when
she's singing she's kind of little a little choked up, a little stopped up
kind of like singing through a straw or a tube at the top, you know in a little
way but then she opens up like a lion roaring here again in a second so let's check it out
Now some of those overtones almost sound
like she's using an octave er like a voice live touch or something she
probably isn't but there is a chance she could be to where it takes the octave of
the voice and takes the growl and puts it down even lower to get that real
rumbly effect so I'm not sure she's doing that I can't really hear it so I'm
just guessing and she might not be she might just have just a great fat round
tone really odd to go from that really sweet little voice though down to such
heavy-duty growl right
now don't you guys find it interesting we've talked about this before
girls vocal folds or their cords are about half the size of guys right and so
it's interesting that she can take that sound and make it sound doodly and is is
robust and big and growly like this so anyway you guys hopefully this was
beneficial to you. Thank you for recommending it. Again this is Jinjer
Pisces or pieces and got more coming your way so until next time peace out.
