Hey guys, Welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the proof is in the singing.
I’m here with my student, Xiomara Crystal. By the way, we spell that “X, I, O” Crystal.
Anyway, she’s actually from London, originally from Portugal, and we’ve decided to take
on an Aerosmith piece. The song is called “Crying”. We’re going to do it first,
and talk about it after, like we always do, but we’re going to get it to sound really
close to Steven Tyler’s voice and tambor. So, a little tough piece to do. We’ll do
it first. We’ll talk about it after, like we always do. Let’s do it!
Whoo! Killer! Good Job! Nice Job! Alright, so, what we’ve done, is we’ve taken Steven,
who has a lot of distortion in his voice, so “Cryin’” he’s got like a lot of
nasty distortion. So we’re using some of our false vocal folds and some other things.
We’re bringing in some of that kind of sound. But we also have to get through the passaggio
and through the lift, and which is really hard to do, because you have to connect your
chest with your head voice. I cover all of this in my singing course. You can click here
if you want. “How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else”from Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, and
Xio’s actually been doing the Master’s Class course, so she’s flown to California,
she’s flown to Hawaii here in my studio here to complete her course, and what we’ve
done… by the way, you can click on my singer’s forums, too, if you’re interested . We have
over six thousand members, so we have a lot of good information in there. And we’re
also are on Twitter, on Facebook, now we’re on Periscope. Whooo… Actually, we’ve done
some cool stuff on Periscope which has been really fun… Shhhhh! Secret, still!
But, anyway, no, seriously though, I have a course that helps identify how to get in
and out of all these different kind of vocal tambors and phrases. So, if you’re interested,
awesome. I have a bunch of tutorials of Xiomara, in there, in fact, several hours now, of that,
of how we got to where we got in this song to help you find YOUR unique voice for yourself.
So, anyway, until next time, Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy.
