Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. Someone sent me in a request can you
please do 23 actors who can actually sing and I thought yeah that'd be fun
but I do want to put a little side note on this. Back in the day in the old days,
most actors and actresses could sing and also act and they could usually dance
and even play an instrument so it's only been more in recent years that it's a
phenomenon that if there's an actor or an actress that can actually sing. So um
usually back I said back in the day when this whole kind of form of entertainment
started they could be multi-instrumentalists sing, dance, play,
tap, dance do all kinds of crazy stuff. So I want to put a little side note on that
before I do this so I'm not overly impressed that they could sing but I'm
sure we'll have a good time. So with that said let's get started here we go.
That was nice.
Nice.
That's great. Good job. I like that.
That was beautiful yeah he had a nice warm tone man. Okay. This is fun. Here we go.
See like I said multi-instrumentalists.
That was fun.
He's got that crooner thing going on.
He kinda sounded a little bit like Harry Connick Jr.
man that's pretty cool I love Harry so good stuff let's continue.
Good pitch man.
Cool yeah I'm having a
good time. Yeah these guys are you know they're hitting it. Like I said this is kind
of how it used to be in the old days where you know these guys if they were
called on to do something, they didn't want to not get the gig because they
couldn't sing if the role required someone singing. Nowadays you know you
get a movie and this you know the actor or whatever they play the part and
usually someone else is doing their singing for them and they sort of take
the credit or whatever and in the old days again they would do everything, they
would sing, tap dance, play guitar, you know act or whatever so let's continue.
Eh.
That was sweet.
Oh Tom Cruise (sings)
I did a version of that I'll throw it in this description it's called Foreigner "I
Wanna Know What Love Is" but let's continue I did a lot of Foreigner tracks,
I'll throw a few of those in the description for you guys to check out.
See that's what I'm talking about. That's exactly what I'm talking about, I didn't know
this was gonna come up. So Anne's throwing down singing very
theatrically and she's acting of course she's playing a role and then she goes
into the splits because she's got gymnastics or some other you know try or
quad sort of talent that she's got, she's been working on. So that's kind of
precisely what I'm talking about where they would have multi-faceted things so
they wouldn't get you know not get a gig just because they couldn't do one
element of something maybe required for a specific role ok.
Speaking of Tom
Cruise by the way I hear that Tom Cruise does most all of his own stunts even at
his age and he has some pretty gnarly stunts so in addition to his repertoire of
singing and acting he can also do stunts you know like the brother is in shape.
He reminds me a lot of Robert Goulet. Go check out some old Robert Goulet and
that was a lot like his little motif there.
Now I saw a little stint from
Emily Blunt on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where she did something kind of similar
too, it's kind of like she's playing like I don't know should I do it I can't really
do it but I know she already sings anyway so that might have been a little bit of a
publicity stunt, it worked and it was still fine but let's let's keep rocking.
Not so good. Barry Manilow is awesome I can live without
that one there but again remember I talked about the over accentuation in
the vocal tract. He's over accentuating the words like people do in theater and
that's pretty hard to do that. We want to kind of under accentuate those vocal..
the vocal tract so we're not having a lot of shifting in the throat to get
better pitch and tone and range and so forth so let's continue.
Okay to me that wasn't so live it sounded really processed so I don't know
what her voice really sounds like but it was definitely a studio product so I
can't really tell how well she sings but let's continue.
Little pitchy.
I like the tone.
He's using a raised laryngeal position so it's kind of little Kermit the Froggy.
He's got kinda that
raised larynx position. It's cool I mean you know but his licks were a
little sketchy.
Nicole Kidman. Now Robbie Williams I don't think he's that great of a
vocalist at all but he's a phenomenal songwriter. In fact "Waterfall" is one of
my favorite songs all time and he's sort of like kind of picked up the baton sort of
where Elton John left off. So if you get a chance check out some Robbie Williams.
He's phenomenal and they're just doing this duet now and again this is very
produced in the studio you can really hear how they really worked it. So I
don't know what her real live voice sounds like but the track is cool you know.
Here again another actor that could sing, play guitar.
That's nice.
That was fun.
Again that over accentuation. Theater.
That was nice.
It's interesting, he's using two different laryngeal positions. He's (sings)
So he's going in and out of the larynx is raising and
lowering and raising and lowering and that's a very dramatic approach if
you're doing you know like you know big character voice you know in Opera or
something like that and you're singing in aria.
It really dramatizes or makes it very melodramatic the scene so that's
obviously what he's doing here and he's doing a good job it's great.
Cool that was cool.
He's alright.
Little flat.
That's nice.
Ew. Little pitchy.
Ah I give her a B-minus for the vocal but an A for the character and the song I
like the song.
That's cool. Corbin throwing down.
Okay that that song actually that was an old song Kiki Dee and Elton John did that
song but Kiki Dee man you should check that girl out. She is awesome. I did a
version of one of her songs called "I Got The Music In Me" and I want to put that
in the description so you can check it out. That is a beastly song. So guys if of
all these songs that I just said either Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is"
if you're gonna check out something I've done but also check out my version of
what did I just say "I Got The Music In Me" by Kiki Dee. Woo that sista can jam. So
they're picking off some pretty epic pieces which is fun to watch. This is fun
guys. This you know it's not amazing but it is really cool to see that there's
talent out there that can sing so I think that might be the end of it. Yeah I
guess it just ended. Anyway so what is that 23 actors that can sing actors and
actresses that could sing. Wait a minute now that's a gender specific thing am I
allowed to say that these days but anyway if you like what you heard please like and
