Hey guys Welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I wanted to do a vocal coach reacts to
Queensryche and I chose "Queen Of The Reich" and of course yeah not of course
but a favorite of mine and I remember when the album first came out Operation
Mindcrime and it was like operation mind-blowing I mean it was just crazy.
The singer's Jeff Tate, we'll comment about him along the way but let's just dive
right into it. Okay here we go.
Nice. Try that.
Try doing that it's not that easy guys I promise let's continue.
Here we go.
He's gonna hit somebody with that microphone.
Okay now Jeff sang with a very unique style.
He brought his head voice way down into his chest voice so a lot of what you're hearing
is a lot of mixed voice head voice stuff so it's like a reinforced falsetto that
he was able to make sound really powerful like his chest voice as I've
said you guys before you singing enthusiasts, is that you'll lose your
voice over time if you don't strengthen your chest voice, stretch it as far as
you can and then hand it off to your head voice later and unfortunately that is
what happened to him and a few other people you know that are.. used that same
technique. I actually grew up with a very well known vocal coach in Washington D
Washington not DC excuse me and at the time.. his name was Dr. David Kyle but you
know maestro Kyle and he taught this method in fact he taught Jeff Jeff is
one of his students and you know it's a great technique to be able to learn how
to sing high quickly but over time you actually will hurt your voice okay I
just want to make that little technical side note let's continue.
(sings) See hear how like I bring my head voice down.
(sings)
Very creative type N
Okay for all you guys that out there have not heard Operation Mindcrime, I
challenge you to listen to the record. I'm telling you it'll change your life
if you're a rock guy. The whole record was just a masterpiece and it was kind
of at a time where they were doing something very almost theatrical, it was
like they're making a statement like a rock opera or something and so there was
a theme so it was very thematic through the whole record and yeah so it was it
was awesome to see guys just be creative and do stuff like this rather than just
trying to write a radio single so kudos to them for that man and they're a crazy
tight band just amazing.
Great double lead harmonies man.
In some ways and people may disagree with this, there's a lot of I believe
they probably had some influence on Dream Theater because there's a lot of
similarities in some of the progressive things that they did and the you know
they took some chances and lot of double harmony leads that kind of stuff excuse
me and it was really interesting to see the progression of how you know other
bands were influenced by Queensryche because man they sure influenced a lot
of people including myself.
(sings)
Nice.
Killer energy man
He's not missing any notes man even though like I said that technique was
could be.. is problematic over time, the guy's not missing any notes and he's
throwing down, killing it hard. Remember me talking about in another one of my
videos where I said it's really hard to be the solo vocalist out there alone
with no big backgrounds and this that whatever. Though the album itself did
have a lot of production, you're just hearing live raw stuff.
He's just piece pulling it off in a huge way here it's just insane here we go.
There's some backgrounds there finally right.
Killer
Listen to how tight they are man.
Nice stuff guys man.
Don't you wish all bands were that tight and sounded that good.
I do
Alight you guys thank you for joining me Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the
proof is in the singing and until next time, peace out.
