- Does Just Singing Scales Make You Better? Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
I see many CZcams channels offering various singing scales for people to do to "make them a better singer."
But does just singing skills make you a better singer?
There is no doubt that singing scales can help with our singing, but just singing scales is not at all what it's made out to be unless you understand how to sing them correctly.
In fact, singing scales incorrectly can actually hurt your voice and embed bad habits.
Let me give you a quick example.
Let's say I am a self proclaimed personal physical trainer.
And let's say you are a little overweight and are looking to lose some weight and become stronger.
I then instruct you to run up and down the street five times.
You comply and do what I instruct you to do.
After a couple of days I tell you to run up and down the street seven times you agree and comply.
After about two weeks of this, do you feel yourself getting stronger and think to yourself "boy that personal trainer really knows what they are talking about."
But after about a month or so I've been given the same instruction to run up and down the street do you realize you're not really progressing at all. In fact your ankle starts to hurt, your knees feel a little fatigued. Your hip is starting to ache. And you are just not progressing anywhere's near when you first started. Now apply this to singing scales.
You do the same skills over and over and at first it seems like a miracle and your voice is growing like a weed.
But in very short order, your voice starts to fatigue, you're not getting the range you were hoping for, you are still pinching and squeezing when you go up to get to notes etc. etc.
You see, that personal trainer offered you very little information other than to get you to do a couple of scales that may have motivated you to sing, but really didn't grow your voice at all. And in fact that was something you could've done easily on your own. In fact it's really not much more than singing a song or something else that could provide a "little" extra stamina but not embed and create good quality habits to really grow your voice as a singer.
By the same token, if you do skills correctly and trained correctly with quality information you absolutely can strengthen and grow your voice significantly.
So when applying any information there are a few questions to ask yourself.
#1. Did that coach sing and demonstrate the scales well themselves?
#2. Did the coach instruct you step-by-step how that scale should be sung and how the vowel placements within the shaping of the vocal tract (your throat) should be applied?
#3. Did that vocal coach also demonstrate their own students doing this correctly to prove what they're showing you is correct?
These three basic things are the key things you must use as a template before attempting any singing coaching of any kind.
At Ken Tamplin vocal Academy we have a slogan and that slogan is "the proof is in the singing".

I am grateful to God that I accidentally found Ken's video channel some time ago, even in small videos, there is a lot of valuable information, these are grains of gold, let those who have ears hear. I believe that Ken is the only one who teaches rock singing technique academically. His students are simply incomparable, and he himself sings great))))))))))))))))))))))))) Thanks Ken
Great to hear!
Ken's vocal course is a LIFE-CHANGER! I took many singing courses before I found KTVA and was always disappointed and felt like I had been robbed. I'm so glad I found the course that really works! KTVA! The free CZcams videos are indeed grains of gold, and the course itself is absolutely what every singer needs to become the singer they have always wished they could be!
I heard it much longer.Greeting to his cousin Sammy Hagar.Watched him also teamed with Guy Fieri,cooking broadcast.Even Guy on his own.Even 80s slim version,Sammy's quite a guy.Ken,cover Van Halen "Good enough".Saw now Eddie(RIP) guitar lesson at Smithsonian.Greets Guy.
La,in italian(o) "A" musical note.

In my college days, when I sang for a band I didn't know anything vocal warm ups, so the band always started with several Loverboy songs-which was my vocal warm up. Years later, when I took vocal lessons, scales was warm up. Tenors and sopranos in choir always had more of a warm up because of the wider range we had to cover.
Thanks for watching, Pope Anthony!
in just one month of doing the course “how to sing better than anyone else 3.0” my voice changed drastically and i now have a beautiful and strong vocal tone and a high vocal range am so proud to be a student of KTVA
Love hearing that, Emmanuel! Keep up the great work!
Scales are a good musical foundation, but technique is just as important.
Hey, White, where did you find this scary face? Lol
I've been watching your videos. My vocal skills are getting back (because I stop singing on 2012) and better. I used so be a soprano but a bad feedback in a singing competition auditions brought me down.
Keep at it, Dely!
I like the personal trainer metaphor. A six week certification and they're just blasting peoples' knees without concern for injury.
Exactly!
Bought this course 8 months ago at 50 years old when I'd struggle through one simple song. Fast forward- It's Friday after work & I'm about to practice some AC/DC. 🎶😎😄 Thanks Ken!
Yes!!!!
Wow! You're the man bro, you have answered alot of my questions, and you're right about you tubers. They want to teach you how to sing, but they don't know how to sing themselves.
Glad to help!
Do re mi fa sol la ti do...lol! Thank you so much for giving many people a much happier day yesterday! Still listening....
Thanks, Ann!
Huge fan
I love rock music and im intermediate singer,can u make videos about r&b riffs and runs etc.
Great suggestion!
Helpful as always. Thanks.
Thank you for the advices and the useful lessons you show on your videos! ♥♥♥
You are awesome and a very good down to earth man. Keep up the good work
Great video Ken, looking forward to the rest of the series. Btw, that shirt is lit!
Thanks!
Dear Ken!
I am really don't like the time I am living now and you explain here why. Because the people having those incorrect attitudes. Try to sell crappy things without honesty and responsibilities, they don't care you, they care only your money and more views. You are the biggest wake up call in this industry. Thanks a lot for the god to save you, he saved you for us.
I am so sorry to have not enough free time to listen everything from you every day.
God bless KT-VA
you put out great content; out of all the music instruction channels yours is one of the few i regurarly watch
Ken you have helped finally learn most of my favorite songs and I'm still improving. Thank you so much

You are Soo So incredibly smart, & an awesome teacher…. From what I have seen… Wow…. I am hooked, & will keep watching, every video you have, until I’m done… ❤️🎸🎤
Wow, thank you!
@@kentamplin I’m a follower… I have No, experience singing… my back ground is my father, who, to me, was a genius… He was self taught… His love was drums, his amazing talent, was EVERYTHING, from, bass, lead, to piano, & DID A KILLER, cover, of Ian Anderson, (Jethro Tull) , Aqua Lung…. He could play the flute, like no one’s business…. NEVER, EVER, a lesson in his life… Just learned on his own… Now, I feel that is like, unworldly, & unexplainable talent, to whom ever can do this…. Unfortunately, that talent, NEVER, was passed down to me… I took many guitar lessons, & drum lessons… To no avail…His musical gene PASSED my ass, some how… HAHAHAHA… But, Honestly, I’m amazed, & obsessed with musicians, & singers… It is truly a TALENT… NOT Everyone, will be one, but, we can try….& I mean, it’s true, like you said, JUST WORK AT IT, really, we might not end up being rock stars, but, Atleast, give it a try…JUST TRY… ❤️… I just love your stuff… Great teacher, FULL of KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE, & GREAT sense of humor…. ( best of all)…. Lol.. & SO SO TALENTED‼️‼️‼️
@@kentamplin I Just love watching & listening, so, thank you, & also for sharing, I hope you keep singing, for many more years to come… Your voice is amazing…, & your teaching… Great Soul, you are….
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Hey Ken, thank you so much for always putting out valuable knowledge. I have one question though: I've been learning singing for a year. A few months ago, I had no problem with singing simple legato and staccato scales. Then I stopped doing them, instead, I focused on singing songs and songs, without sounding pitchy, hitting the right notes. It did improve my breath to some extent (I don't run out of breath during the song anymore), I was able to apply some basic techniques (like how to avoid cracking from chest to head, vibrato, apply sustained notes: ofc they are not perfect, but I started to get a sense of it by feeling the sensation of my body when I was applying the techniques).
Then, a few days ago, I tried to re-sing some of the old basic scales but kinda struggled to do so when another person is playing the scales (when I play and sing it myself, then I can get a hang of it). It's like my breath felt weak and strange doing it but I don't find singing songs as hard. Does it mean that I got worse? Or I lost my singing foundation?
Thanks a lot, Ken.
The KTVA program continues to produce results for me and I am only on week 7. I noticed this past weekend when I went over a bunch of songs that I have more air at my disposal than before. I can do longer passages. Songs that were difficult last spring are now pretty ok. Also it sounds less shouty and there is less weight in the throat. I am beginning to understand how to negociate different registers and settings.
Anyone who is on the fence - now is a good time to get the course. I have not seen anything like it. I speak a few languages but I have not found any other teacher or program that goes into the details like this. Not in English, Spanish, German, French. Certainly not in my native Swedish language.
Awesome!
Do they still call a "First Soprano" a First Soprano? I sang First Soprano in Jr. High and H.S., seems as I have gotten older, my voice struggles getting to that high soprano pitch. I can hit the low notes. I'm using your tools/lessons to help get me back up there. Thanks Ken.
Thanks 🙏 for teaching how to sing high head voice
I use Ken Tamplin advices about 3 years a and works it. Others musicians sing and play on guitar, for example about half hours. End of song is without clapping. After I take guitar and sing "Have you ever seen the rain". Follow surprise and applause. From it I guess, that I sing better than anyone else....😂
good educational voice video 👍
Thanks for visiting!
Ken Tamplin you are the best! I remember buying a course from you years ago, to train for a huge concert I had. My singing went through the roof 😍! I still use some of your techniques but with Covid lockdowns and restrictions here in Japan, I have been unable to perform live for almost a year 😢 . I am certainly going to buy your new course. You keep on evolving and getting better. You may not know this, but many a time your techniques saved me! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏽 🎶!
I am so happy to hear that!
@@kentamplin I want the regular course, but I don’t understand what “streaming only” means. Do we have access to the videos anytime? (Sorry if it’s a silly question ☺️).
@@priscamolotsi Yes, streaming means you have access to the whole course 24/7.
@@kentamplin Thank you 🙏🏽 😊!
It’s like saying the only exercise you need is jumping jacks
👍
It did for Sister Mary Clarence's class :D
👍
Bloody hell! I think I finally like AC/DC! This girl is on 🔥🔥🔥

Can you make a video on how a guitarist can transition into learning how to sing
Hey Ken just watched your Rik Emmett isolation, good video. thanks Temple of the Dog (hunger strike) would interest you at all? a male duet that would be different and unique.
Great suggestion!
Sou sua fã 😍😍😘
Obrigado!
Its funny, the timing of this video. I have been about 5 days back into re-training my voice from a 4 year complete layoff.
1st day: Just trash. No power, no feel for placement.
2nd day: I need vocal exercises. Lip bubbles, Nay, mum, gug, good, sirens, cuperto, etc.
3-4th day: Range coming back. bottom and top end expanded quick. Ability to place and hold notes came back.
Today: tried recording some real song lines I used to do. Everything was off. So, I recorded the exercises. The exercises sounded like I thought they would sound except for the "Nay." They sounded like weak chord closure and too little support.
Not having any of my old recordings on hand, the process has gone like, "Damn. Weak (thought that at least sounded moderately strong). That sucks. I heard worse. Not too bad. Aren't I supposed to hear vibrato fading there? I don't hear anything. Maybe I was never able to do that part good. Eh, that needs more support. Oh, wait, I need more pitch there just when I time that. Hey, that sounded about right."

Hey Ken! Have a great weekend!😎
Thanks, you too!
@@kentamplin 😎
I’ve been watching your videos for a while and their so helpful🙌🏻🙌🏻 my question is do you think it’s possible to be able to sing around a Michael Jackson vocal range with a lot of work or is it very much on the rare side?
You can ask all of your singing related questions over on my free singing forum.forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
Wonderful ❤️! Video 😊
being your students for 2 years and more pro 2.0 ,now 3.0 steaming ken I really really wanted you to do a full long video no matter how long please do it on Carnatic style singing system I am a great fan of Carnatic with this course I dreams of learning Carnatic too and I really want you to see and study about it and make a video ken, really waiting for that so, long!

Thanks for the suggestion!
@@kentamplin ken really waiting for you to do it ❤️

👍
Good morning coah from philipines
Technique is just as important
Ken, you are sitting while singing; do you recommend standing while singing these warm up exercises?
Yes most definitely, and as a cover in my course, you lose up to 30% of your abdominal strength while sitting.
Can you make A video can you improve your singing by singing quiet ?
Singing quietly takes really good breath control in my opinion that. However all of it does.
grande Fabian Palito
Ken may i ask a question , If i take a break doing vocal scales for 4-5days or 1week will i lose my 5 months progress? , Or my progress will decrease?
Just pick up again as quickly as possible.
Ken, God has blessed you with an
extraordinary music and singing
talent. Your singing course is
absolutely legit. YOU ROCK!! 🎸🎤
JESUS RULES!! ✝️ 👍
You rock!
HELLO 😊 YES KEN 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😘😘🌷🤘🤘🙂✌️
Guys who's excited to see a Ken's version of Nothing else matters from Metallica?
👍
I personally think vowel modification is really only necessary at the range extremes. A more conversational vowel usage is pretty relatable and the amount of character that you can get from vowel diversity is greater if singers don't all lock into say an ahh vowel. If you were to take someone like Johnny Cash for example (or any huge number of character singers) they would sacrifice aesthetics and relate-ability if they were to focus on ping, brightness, or getting more nasality that's likely necessary to get those high notes. I don't think a singer has to sound like their a teacher and you might be selling yourself short if you think that's all you can teach. But both singer and teacher have to understand that certain vowel strategies might get a certain sound. As a middle ground, is you could probably teach the vowel strategy as an option for when approaching the limits of other vowel strategies. There's no real reason why Johnny Cash couldn't hold onto conversational vowels but be taught how to do a few high notes or screams as long as you were both on the same page, that if he were to exclusively use the technique you discuss it would change the character of his voice. If someone has a different vowel strategy from speech, culture, ethnicity, artistic reasons, etc. It's the limits of physiology at the range/volume limits. Certain vowels and vocal postures just won't work at certain ranges/volumes, but if it works in another context, it can still be on the table.
Hey Ken, if I may ask, what guitar model and brand is that?
Larrivee
My bird loved to do scales
So cool!
But that’s an old parrot that was playing around singing la La Laa Laaa Laaaah! Tadaaah! Hahahahaha she was a cute bird! BarbaraJean- loved to sing. Loved Barbara Streisand and was a beauty like NormaJean! She loved when I would watch Ken’s videos - she would try to mimic Ken‘s singing tutorials!
There's a lot that goes into singing. It's not one dimensional. Scales are for beginners. I agree that you need to do these technique right. Watch out for coaches that are doing it wrong. Watch out for to good to be true results.I have been gifted with a really good voice. This is other people opinions regarding my voice. With the wrong coach can have the potential to ruin your voice. Like I said there's so much more in singing.
Absolutely!
Hellow there ken ur kalook alike is Guy penrod!
After puberty my voice has become really bad can't sing a single song any tip to fix my chord

the man of a million shirts
I have no interest in learning to sing (aside from the shower) but you best believe while I was enjoying my coffee I was opening my mouth like I was getting a tonsil check 🤣🤣🤣
I've noticed your chair appears to only have 1 armrest. Is this intentional?
It's flipped back on the right hand side so my guitar does not bump it
Shouldn't i know which chord that is on the guitar? I don't how to start the AaaaAaaa
Singing is strange. You're supposed to open your mouth. Some sing from the back of their throat. B.J. Thomas " barely " opens his mouth. James Taylor and Springstein sometimes too. Many people sing with a closed mouth. I guess they just sing a lot and figure it out their own way or are natural born singers
🤔,,,,,,!!! 👍🤠👌
Thanks for the listen!
