Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. We've got a lot of requests for this one
it's Rihanna "Love On The Brain". Now I haven't seen this one at all in fact uh
I do see a thumbnail of it and it looks like she looks like Sinbad the Sailor on
a stage somewhere so I don't know we'll get to this but now we did a
version of "Love On The Brain" with KTVA vocalist Tori Matthieu and Tori is a
quintessential example of the kind of thing we do here at KTVA. She came to
us just wanting to sing professionally and we were able to get her placed in a
couple things. One is a place she sings at nightly she does it you know four,
or five, six nights a week. So not only did Tori grow her talent and her pitch
and her range and her persona and her stage presence and all that but Tori
also understands the art of longevity and maintaining good vocal health. So
that's a very very important aspect to the stuff the kind of things that we do
here at KTVA. So with that said we'll put "Love On The Brain" in the description
tag so you can check out Tori's version of it and let's do RIhanna's version of
this now here we go.
I'm ready.
I love that swing sort of groove.
Old school.
That was a lot of guys in the audience.
Cool she's singing.
She's cute.
Good swag.
By the way I want to point something out which is really cool ok.
Do you see the way she pulled away from the microphone.
I want to emphasize that remember I.. some of my other videos I talk about
when they go like this and the volume of the mic doesn't change. It's pretty
obvious what's going on. Now unless you have like a big diaphragm mic, like you
see this one I don't know if you can see mine back there.
I think you can see it. Oh you like my pictures by the way I got Led Zeppelin over
there, I got Freddie Mercury in the center. I got Ann Wilson
I got Janis Joplin down there in the corner, I got Steven Tyler over there. I
got Journey on the bottom right. You guys can come check out my studio it's
brand new, it's here in Flagstaff Arizona. As you guys know I lost my studio in
Hawaii last July and so we moved to Arizona for a while so I'm gonna be here
for a bit but anyway what I was saying unless it's a large diaphragm mic like
that one and you can shift the diaphragm to where you can literally walk around
the mic and not hear any velocity change or volume change and that's very
different than a single, a smaller cardioid microphone or a smaller
diaphragm microphone I should say like the what she has. So the minute she
goes off you can tell there's no volume. Okay so it's she's leg.. the point
is she's legitimately singing here we go.
It's pretty stage
I love this part.
Now I love that (sings)
like I love that gospel when people kind of bring that as like a
little twist and it brings us back into the song. It's cool.
Those nails look like they would hurt.
I love those earrings too took a shot. Did I make it. Right through.
Careful you'll hurt your back.
Speaking of which as a metal guy, I'm gonna get off-topic here for a second
she did a thing with her back and I've done stuff like that you don't really
think about it and I remember when we used to go you know like this
like through half of a song or a whole song and I remember like you know the next
day you're like oh man why did I do that and then the next
night you're back up doing it again right. You do silly things in the name of
just you know being a good performer being having.. being showy and doing funny
stuff and then you pay the price later it actually comes around sometimes so.
That girl's living it.
Good vocals man. Nice, good passion
Again this is the difference between a live performance I know there's singing where
the track there's like track she's singing to or whatever but her vocals are live and
it has a whole different feel than being real canned or prepackaged.
Ok but it kind of begs the question I'm not sure how many songs she did or what this
event is necessarily. It's kind of boring though just to stand there to watch some
chick behind a microphone without a lot of other pumps so there is obviously
merit to having production or working some things out, having some dancers or
some other things some candy that's going on to create energy for stuff. So I
get it this is the ballad or one of the ballads and she's got a lot of different
music to choose from but at the same time too I kind of like a little more energy in it.
She's putting out so she's definitely throwing down but I like to have some
more things going on. That's actually why I like bands so much is because you have
a lot to choose from drums, bass, guitar, keys, piano whatever
and lead vocals and in this case it's just one person standing up there as the
centerpiece for everything so.
There are those backup singers going..
