We didn’t get a lot of requests for this, but what we got were people that said
“Hey Ken, I don’t have your range, and I don’t have all that blah blah blah…
Therefore I suck, and I can’t sing anything!”
Baloney!
Guys, first of all, I earned those notes, I didn’t inherit them,
But more than that, I’m going to take on an artist named Robert Palmer.
And it’s not that he had no, very little range.
It’s what he did with his range that made him great in his artistry.
So, will do the song first.
It doesn’t hurt to have a bunch of hot glamour models as your backdrop for your video.
Maybe I’ll have to be my own model, but, ha!
Anyway, let’s rock!
The proof is in the singing!
Let’s do this!
Whooh!
Alright!
So!
Robert had a really unique style.
He didn’t have a lot of range.
What he had was his soul, his phrasing, concepts, you know a bunch of hot chick/glamour models
dancing in the video.
Like I already said that didn’t hurt him.
But, by the way, if you like what you heard, please like and subscribe to my channel.
That would be awesome.
And we now have a singers forums that has well over 10,000 singers in there, all negotiating
and talking about this stuff.
And I have a course called How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else where we discuss every
facet of all this stuff.
So, if you’re interested check it out.
But let’s get back to Robert.
So Robert had this unique ability to take less than an octave, or about an octave of his
range and to really put it out there and create some great art.
Look him up.
Robert Palmer.
This is one of many songs that he’s done.
And he spanned two or three decades.
That’s a lot.
He passed here not too long ago.
But anyway, it’s the soul and the way he presented his art.
You know “Your lights are on.
But you’re not home."
He had this great, just tone and just sexy appeal to his voice.
“Your lights are on.
Buy you’re not home.
Your mind is not your own.”
Just… swagger.
You know what I mean?
So, you guys out there that think “I don’t have a lot of range.
Therefore I really can’t sing.
Because I can’t sing like Bruno Mars or whomever.
Right?
Whatever.
That’s just baloney, guys!
Get out there and start doing stuff.
Start doing it.
Find yourself.
Find your own voice.
Cause in the end, people want to hear what you have to say, and how you re-present your
art. It’s not that you’re going to be top of the world.
And yeah.
We want to aspire to get great or we do, because it increases our toolbox for great singing,
the more range we have and the more access we have to cool stuff.
But anyway, guys, thank you for joining me.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the proof is in the singing.
Peace.
Out.
