Hey Guys, Welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the proof continues to STILL be in the
actual singing.
We got a lot of requests for this one.
Chad, from nickel back.
The song is how you remind me.
Ha ha, we actually got quite a few requests to not do it, but the ones asking us to do
it far outweighed that, so we’re going to do it first, talk about it after, let’s Rock!
Okay. There’s a lot of information there.
And, if you like what you heard, please like and subscribe to my channel.
That would be super-awesome.
We actually just hit the 40 million mark for views.
Which, Thank you guys, so much for that.
That’s crazy, and we have a lot of great subscribers.
I have a singing course called How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else, and I cover what
I’m about to tell you here at every aspect and every level of the course.
And we also have a singers forums that’s free, and we just hit over 11,000 members
of people discussing this stuff.
You can find it at Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy dot com.
I recommend you check it out because it’s worthy.
Let’s get back to Chad.
So let’s talk about the verses.
I chose to sing the verses a little less gritty and distorted than Chad, he’s got some really
great distortion on his low end.
Not that I can’t do it, I just wanted to pace myself through the song to make sure
I could make it to the end without having to stop.
The way I did it was “I never made it as a wise man.
I couldn’t cut it as a poor man stealin’ tired of living like a blind man, I'm
sick inside without a sense of feeling.
This is how you remind me of what I really am.
This is how you remind me.”
Right?
And then I go, you know: “it’s not like you to say sorry.
I was waiting on a different story.”
You know, like, there’s a lot more, as you build, you can build more distortion.
The way Chad did it is he actually has a lot of air, and a glut of air at the beginning, so it’s
like “I never made it is a wise man” he’s kind of throwing all this air, you know.
“I couldn’t cut it is a poor man stealing.
Huh, huh, huh!”
And he has all this air.
My suggestion is you don’t do that right away.
You could cut back the air and compress it.
“I never made it as a wise man.
I couldn’t cut it as a poor man stealing.
Tired of living like a blind man.
I’m sick inside without a sense of feeling.”
And you can add that air later if you know how to control it, so, mitigating the air…
By the way, the over use of air is the arch enemy to the voice.
Let me say it again.
The overuse of air is the arch enemy.
It’s going to dry you out and you're going to find you can’t finish your phrases.
You can’t finish the chorus.
You’re going to be bogged down or lock down the cords to where you can’t go, you know:
“ yeah yea yea yAA!”
You’re going to find you can’t go up to stuff, because you’ve bogged down the voice
so much with so much air.
So we actually want to compress the air and make the sound smaller on the bottom.
Little bit of tone, little bit of distortion, but we’ve got to be really, really careful that
we don’t hurt our voices.
Okay?
Well, You guys, I thank you again for joining me.
Again, if you like what you heard, please like and subscribe.
Until next time, Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the proof, truly, is in the singing.
Peace.
Out.
