- How To Belt - Belting Techniques - Voice Tutorial - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
Some have referred to me as: "The King Of Belt."
Even if only a small percentage of those that say that are true, it may buy me the right to share with you my views on belting.
I have been "belting" safely for over 30 years (and show no signs of slowing)
I emphasize this because those that belt incorrectly, eventually lose their voices altogether.
As I demonstrate in this video, there is a right way and a wrong way to belt.
Belt the wrong way and you will have a very short-lived singing career.
I also see a glut of people on the internet (i.e. CZcams etc.) telling people their philosophies on belting.
Funny thing is, they can neither belt themselves, nor do they display students belting.
Be very leery and careful of that.
Don't go to a guitar teacher who can't show you how to play guitar.
Go to a guitar teacher who is a master at his craft, and he can show you something.
The same applies to singing lessons.
Please enjoy this video tutorial. I hope you find it useful.

Honestly, these are hands down the best vocal training videos on the internet. Ken is. The. Man.
Thanks for the kind words, Chris. I hope you are learning from the vids.
I AGREE
ikr
And so sweet and friendly. That goes a long way with me.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I like to. Get better so I can sound like Mariah Carey
My neighbors loved my belting exercises so much that they threw a brick thru my window to hear me better!
Haha! Neighbors!
Hahahaha nice try huh
Lol
@@kentamplin oh my, love thy neighbour that's where i struggle, im very unchristian in that dept😟

@@myeenglishclass7540 ikr he's like so chill
Absolutely 😇
I thought the same thing... just watching him talk was making me smile😊😁
No vocal chords were harmed during the making of this video
Some were helped!
hahahahahahahah
@@kentamplin by alot. I can thank you for the range I have now. Thanx
@@kentamplin , Hi Ken, I was wondering if you would be so kind as to show us how to do all the different types of growling, such as guterals, I know I spelled that wrong. I know that most people think it's just yelling, but I know that there's a lot of technique that's behind it. I would love for you to show us. You can do everything. Thank you Ken. God bless you. 😊
Been screaming HEY THATS MY BIIIIIIIKE for two hours.... cops were called ...... 🤣
Hahahahahahahahahahaha I am dying right now
OMG 😂
😂🤘
Helluva work man 😂😂🤟🏼
😂😂
I thought I was gonna learn how to discipline my son...
Not these days.
I can project quite loudly from well across the house, myself :)
Dude... nah.
Lol i laughed so hard on this one !:D
I had to scroll up and look at the title of the video again! Lmfao.
We're supposed to raise our children differently from our parents, Man!
Bicycle thief: (Wow, dude can really belt it out! The call register is really on point!)
Thanks so much, marlo!
😂😂😂
How can I practice this without my neighbors thinking I'm a lunatic?
Too late. They already know.
Every time I hear a kid singing out loud while they walk or ride by our house I always get that nice warming feeling of how I used to just sing, sing, sing whenever I was alone (or with a band of course) in my teens and it makes me so happy to see that kids these days do exactly the same and just don’t mind what others think of them until they see you and they stop singing from being a little shy after all. So whenever they stop because of seeing me I always encourage them to keep singing because “it sounds nice” or “I love what you’re doing” or “Let it out and be free - it’s the best way to become the best” or stuff like that..
Today when I hear them singing and they then see me they do give a tiny smile away and perhaps a little laugh, but they do try to keep singing all the way down the road.
So know that you might think that others find you being a lunatic, but we we/they just might actually admire you and enjoy that you are getting better and better with time - unfortunately sometimes in silence! - Rock on!
BTW: My neighbors always turn down their radios whenever I practice or record (singing or an instrument)... they say - it’s way better and more interesting than what is on the radio - so I’m not the only one giving encouragement to others! 👍
@@InternalizedSun damn man, i never thought about it that way! I was always very shy about singing.
I was always so shy about singing. Always choked during semi-professional recording sessions.
Finally becoming okay with singing without a guitar in my hands or a band behind me at the age of 27. I wish I'd dealt with my anxiety earlier, there are a lot of missed opportunities there. I'll try to remember to encourage anyone I hear singing in public from now on.
This is my biggest caveat right here. But as Ken said, yeah, pretty sure they already know so, what the hell lol.
2:30 I spilled my coffee
👍
*In a vocal lesson*
Other Vocal coaches: plays the piano now sing.
Ken: HEY, THAT'S MY BIKE!!!
🚵🚵🚵
I’m watching this while sick with a sore throat with a cough drop in my mouth...I guess that’s how you know this is what I really love to do. The worst part about being sick is not being able to sing.
I hope you feel better soon, Charlit Charlit!
Thank you✨It’s crazy you comment on so many comments! Mad respect to you.
What's weird is when I'm a bit sick I control my voice more😂
I hope people can appreciate how talented someone actually is to be able to sing (so nonchalantly haha) notes as you do in this lesson! I'd say I'm mildly ear trained to pitch and tone after 3 years of singing and voice study, and just WOW! Anyone!...(especially male) who can so quickly jump from their talking voice to a VERY advanced vocal projection and pitch....is amazing! Thank you for this video!
Christine Haas very very amazing.... that’s a lot of hard work right there😀
Yes! The thing about being so good at something that you make it look easy is that well, you make it look easy! Then someone else tries it ... lol, not easy.
And it's not just demonstrating exercises. He can listen to a song, even with crazy vocal passages, and immediately duplicate the singing, while explaining what's going on.
I REALLY like how he pointed out the case with ladies. I honestly could NOT agree more (that is, based on my experience). I've REALLY been struggling with this.
I have a naturally raspy voice anyway, but when I go into the high notes, like, A4 onwards, this sort of fear takes over of whether ill sound pitchy, and so I end up losing that rasp and sort of husk, and it just sounds very head voicey and breathy.
Thank you SO MUCH KEN, for pointing out something that I have not seen almost ANY other vocal coach out there point out. I'm feeling a lot more confident; I guess I'll prioritize the support and the strength of the higher register first, and then work on pitch.
Again, Ken , i honestly can't thank you enough for clearing up a question I've been having for YEARS now!
Rock on! 👍
Ken said some"controlling air". For a few days many years ago, I had something like laryngitis - where my speaking voice was muted. I found that I could sing like crazy! No voice cracking when I went for a high note (for me). It was an awesome feeling. I will have to search Ken's channel for material on air control.
Rock on!
Hey, Ken! A belted shout out from Brazil thanks to you! I've always loved singing but never gave myself the chance to dive into it. I am 34 now and i actually just began singing lessons for the 1st time about a month ago, i'm full on amateur, but lets see what happens. Besides, i can belt now! It's not that great yet, but i can feel it's becoming more and more natural. Thank you very much!
Keep at is, Loah Frota!
Good for you.....I couldn't do it well enough to get paid, until I was 50. So go for it!
Randomly found your channel while searching for "Shambala" covers, and I gotta say I'm impressed. You really know your stuff, but you're able to convey it without coming off as snobby or a know-it-all. Very approachable and well explained.
i’ve been trying to really perfect my technique for an upcoming audition, and i’ve been binge watching all of your videos
Just stumbled upon your channel in the last couple days. Blown away. My voice is naturally pitched really similar to you. I too have expanded my depth, finesse, and range over my life singing. I dig that you teach correct ways to do things Bel Cantos consider no no. I like head voice cause there's nothing false about it, a term I never heard as a young singer. I spent a long time crushed in my baritone box even after figuring out for myself how to sing like Geddy Lee when I was 16. Too much tension, so I lost that in my 20's and 30's, been getting it back with grace and power learning how to build it on my big belly breath. Thanks again for sharing your channel. I been doing all these things, learning bird song too. Then comes you, illuminating greater awareness of what I naturally sense. Had I a teacher like you when I was 16, maybe it wouldn't have taken so long to get back into my full range.
I like this guy and his lessons, natural teacher. Thanks Ken.
'Hey thats my bike!' xD
Carry on my dude! You are a legend. The King Of Belt!
Thanks, Kegyne
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy that reply time! Amazing
Kegyne S- Bam!
This smile on your face speaks of your achievements! So good to have your channel on CZcams. I been practicing with ur teaching. I am amazed!
I'm glad to have you here, Sarah! Thanks!
Thank you SO much for the great belting tips and exercises! I have a vocal performance degree as a classically trained soprano, but for the life of me I've always had such a hard time finding my "belting" voice- I switch so quickly to my head voice as soon as it gets too high for my chest voice. Turns out I've sacrificed it at the altar of the high note..! I'm working on becoming more stylistically flexible as I want to sing more pop/musical theater styles. Thanks again- you really know your stuff!!
Nice, nice, nice on belting. In college I had a teacher that reminded very much of this. He wanted us to project from our chest to the back of the theater. I learned to use it in singing. It seems that some of the arts cross over.😊
For sure!
I'm Vietnamese. I wish I could understand all what you said. You are the greatest tutor I've known. Thankyou a lot!
Gosh, I just love these vocal training videos. They make me love to sing even more. Thanks so much, Ken! Totally fab!
Love hearing that, Tom!
Jesus Ken, your analogies are incredible... thank you so much!
Thanks, Russell!
Sorry to I'm late to your vids, Ken! I've been around singing for 25 years and you are the best of the best. I truly mean that. Keep up the amazing work that you do. You are such a treasure trove of information. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Jeff!
sir now my vocal condition is fully well and it is possible just for your technics...thank u sir and thanks to KTVA...
That's great, Debjit! Glad you are having good results!
You are THE BEST teacher EVER!!!! I feel I can sing 100% better after just seeing and practicing along with 2 of your videos. You have an amazing talent to teach and such an amazing range you blow my mind every time.. Thanks for being so generous with your wisdom and sharing it with us!! You are fully appreciated!!!! Thank you!!!
Ross Nroll- Awesome!!
2:28 me whenever Ken Tamplin posts a new video
Ha, ha! Good one, Robert! :-)
LMFAO so true! Ken Tamplin is so awesome
LMBO YES!!😍😂
YES. 🎤😆
That was the high note, wasn’t it xD
Hi ken recently embarked on learning how to sing so glad I found your the only one who actually seems to guide me and help with everything while others on yt can't, thank you so much ken
You're welcome, XOTWOD!
Wow, he literally comments on or likes every comment! What a swell guy
Thanks for the kind words, Reinalesca. Instead of going for tips, you can get the WHOLE PICTURE from my singing course, and it will ROCK YOUR VOICE! I appreciate your comment!
if u were my teacher i would be a super star
rania mimika mamikarania -💫⭐🌟
I strongly agree!
Love your method of teaching Ken your expertise in singing shows in your videos.
Thanks, queen!
Thankyou ken 😎 these lessons are so much help! Your in depth descriptions are great 🎙️🎧👍
HEEEYYY!!!! THATS MY BIKE!!!
Nice belting! 😊
Belting evoques strength and energy... When it's well done, shows guts! And usually gives me goose bumps, that's why I love it.
Belting is an important part of every good singer's tool box, Elisa!
I yelled at he/she for stealing my murse......haha. Ken's such a spititually connected guy....transformatonal vocabulary is how he weaves into metaphor and knowledge as seemless as his actual vocalizing. Love him.
Like your videos, you give examples right away not like other ones who give explanations and no examples until the end at about 1 or 2 minutes. This people dont show their work like you do. That's what makes you awesome coach and mentor....domo arigato for your videos.
I find your videos very helpful
I'm quite shy but love playing guitar and I'm trying to get better at singing, for some reason your videos are the only ones that I feel comfortable watching for some reason
I'm glad you feel good when you watch my videos. If you like to sing, you should learn to sing and not worry about what others think. Do it for yourself.
Your videos are so helpful! I've been practising different techniques from your videos and they are really helping! Thank you so much
That makes me happy, Lucy! Thank you for letting me know! 😊
Ladies and gentleman.
The King of Belting.
Jonathan Ortega Has a nice ring to it. 👑
Brilliant as always. Been on this course for three years now. Best investment I ever made. Truth.
You ROCK, Wayne! Tell it like it is!
Those are some very clever analogy's you make up, and actually make pretty good sense.
Millions of people will benefit from you, you're the best. Thanks youtube youre the bridge of success to millions of people.
It's a great platform, for sure!
wow , started following your channel last week sir and i am seriously seeing improvements @ my vocals , well i am a guitarist btw and i don’t really sing often but i am Preparing for a small gig where i am going to perform my fav rock number and believe me this particular video helped me alot :) thank you so much for all your great lessons , now i can call my breeze easily lol , thanks again :)
True, I'm glad you are finding benefit in watching my videos and following my instructions. Glad to help out! Keep watching! I have hundreds of videos!
Ken!! YOU are SOOOOO RIGHT! I NEVER had a Vocal Coach tell me about The Soprano Thing.I was classicly trained at a Conservatory,and have had a LONG road to finally Singing IN THE MIDDLE!
for Pop,etc.NOW, I KNOW WHY!!THANKS!
You are welcome, Gina!
Once again, BOOM! 💥🙆♀️ Ken, you really are THE BEST 🔥 forever greatful I found you 🙏🏼
Just stumbled upon your vid, your teaching technique is stellar, you seem like you’d be very easy to learn from. Keep up the stellar work, God of Belting
Thanks, Paula!
i’m from the Philippines and i’m inspired of your videos.. I really love singing. Thank you for your videos. 😉
Thanks a lot for this tutorial! I’m a low bass so I’ve been looking into belting more so I can keep up with the other male voices haha
That's one way to get a few more notes up the scale! Just be sure to follow the information I gave in the video about shedding the weight... and keep a governor on the volume, too.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite vocal coach on the Citadel!
4:11 That scream's taught me how to hit soprano notes now, even though I'm a baritone...
"Hey! That's my bike!" Good stuff!
I really like that technique more, thanks Ken Tamplin, you made me a better singer.
You're welcome, BloodBurn! I'm always glad to help! :-)
;)
Thankyou for uploading this vid. I have learned a lot from it. Hope it comes back to you in some way good!
You're so committed to what you do. I love it❤️
Wow! thank you so much for these amazing classes. You make it so easy to understand. God bless you.
Thank you for your kind words, Thiago! God Bless you, too!
One of the best tutor on youtube. 💓
Glad you think so!
Just discovered this channel... I feel already better than 5 years ago. ❤
god bless you man..iv been playing rockin guitar for 26 yrs..used too sing in church as a lad n was pretty good...i thought i'd never sing again..a few weeks ago at a jam i accidently belted out stadium rock..i couldn't believe it,,tried to the next week..awful...i was gutted..i started googling and bam ..you came up...why didn't it occur to me to practice scales like i do on guitar..i didn't know what pitch or where to start..i will now put in hard work like i did on guitar and do these exercises.. but now have hope for my future man..again thank you so much
Me thinks your the answers to many dreams of enjoying singing. Have to admit I did not realize it was such a science. Enjoy your detailed explanations.
adventure002006- Excellent!
I thought having a really deep baritone voice was a curse, but this stuff here helps me hit notes in a higher register without killing my voice. After years of singing and playing, I'm basically relearning how to sing all over again. My problem is my guitar's body against my diaphragm seems to cut my voice short. I feel like i'm at a crossroads of guitar or vocals only, but i can't choose. If i lower the guitar strap, i can't play as well, but if i raise it to where i can play, i can't sing properly from the weight. It's a dilemma I've been battling for years. I wish i could find a happy medium so i can sing and play. This is probably a lot of lead singers don't plat instruments while singing and performing.
Great info and presentation for anyone who sings anything! Thanks much, Ken, it’s very useful! 👏
Thank you, Sally!!
Love how you get the point across in a sensible way!
Rock on! 😀
OMG......you are such an awesome teacher Ken!!! Your genuineness is refreshing and your incredible knowledge show that you have truly worked very hard to develop your craft!!! You are a Michangelo of sweet Musical Inspiration!!! I am going to take my sweet time going over your videos because your are explaining musical terminology in a super easy way to comprehend!!! Also I am leaving this comment to see if your comments section has been fixed yet!!! Have a fabtabulous week Bro!!!!
Thank you, sandra, for caring about the issues I had when comments were not working. Thanks to my caring fans, I have pulled through this, and now we can be back in communication! 😊
Yes!!! Have a great weekend dear bro!!! And plz remember when you are singing in the shower so are a lots of us....your fans....singing in snyc!!!
I'm not saying I go into everything with little to no effort... but it seems I'm a natural to some sports and some I'm not.. but when it comes to singing it seems I have a natural ability to sing.. now I have smoked and haven't taken care of my vocal chords at all but during karaoke nights from when sober to getting a buzz at this bar the bartender didn't drink at all but he says I have a natural ability to sing and that I should focus on it.. but I'm a lifetime cook.. and will always cook.. but continuously get told I should try out for some singing shows.. I've thought about posting videos of me at either karaoke or just at home and singing acapella
I’ve been in a choir since age 7. I’ve learned how to sing soft and in unison with the others. Now (at age 18) I have a Jazz/Pop/Rock vocal teacher and I’m discovering so many different layers of my voice! It’s great and I’ve made so much progress in the last year! But I have a problem with taking my chest/mixed voice higher, I’m just not used to it. I hope it’s not too late to learn how to do that. At some point it feels like I’m Kermit and choking. So that’s why I’m here. I’ll definitely try these tips (not that my teacher isn’t enough, she’s great! but I feel like it’s research or homework that I’m doing), the shouting one is a really good start! I’ve never thought of it like that. So thank you I guess for all the videos on this topic, I’ll check out some more!
I‘m also apologizing for any grammar mistakes, I’m not english.
It's not too late to learn at all. The sooner you do get started, the better, but you will eventually go a long way towards your goals if you just get started and resolve to keep going forward.
Great info! You really know how to break it down to better understand, like playing an instrument with your voice. Incredible!!
Thanks for your kind words, Marco!
Hey Ken ! First of all: I love your videos ! Second: Do you know the bands Shinedown and Halestorm? Pretty sure you do. I would love to know what singing technique they use and what it’s called when they .. kinda .. it’s hard to describe this sound. It sounds like when you clear your throat. It’s a very deep and strong sound. Listen to Shinedowns cover of Simple Man. (When he sings: “...you love and understand”) or other songs, he does it all the time. I am so impressed by this and I really want to learn this technique, I can only do this (in the slightest way tho) when I’m not swallowing and there’s saliva in my throat but it feels not right. Could you explain that? A video lesson (someday) would be awesome ! Keep rockin 🤘 greetings from Germany
I love this man!
Thanks Amirul Naim!
This video is a game-changer for me. I used to really push hard on every note because i thought I had to. But I never liked my tone. This will help me use less volume and have a more pleasing tone in my voice. THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome, Len!
Thank you so much Ken! So I started working on my singing in February this year, I'm doing it basically on my own and these videos helped me a lot (I'd buy the course if I could but I can't right now). I'm aware that there's no one controlling what I'm doing so I'm very careful of course. I'm much more confident now and I can belt out about half an octave higher then I could, and I'm controlling my highest notes a lot better, and my voice stopped cracking. I know you can't master singing if you never had an actual singing class (I only sing in a choir) but you sir are amazing, no one before ever told me that for example you know maybe I should open that throat so it doesn't hurt and I don't end up not being able to sing at all you know? I'm looking forward to finding a coach in future, if not you then someone else who knows what they're doing, but until now, I'll just keep on practising... and not trying to do things I'm not sure I know how to do properly.
You may find, as many others have, that doing my home course, along with guidance from the students areas of my singers forums is the best of both worlds. You move at your own pace, yet have interactive feedback on how you, as an individual, are doing. Most universities have shifted over from brick-and-mortar buildings to online degrees. You get access to world-class teaching, without having to travel or pay for remote housing and meals, and have guidance when you need it. No other coach has the information or knowledge that I have from my personal experiences and training.
Call register sacrificed at the alter of the high note... WOW YES! 10 years of vocal training it was pushing the highs higher and tone and breath control but no learning how to sing THROUGH low to high. My voice has been parked in the garage for 20 years because I could sing up high and way down low but nothing in between so I thought I was just not "talented" or "built" to sing the songs I wanted outside of choral/classical music. I'm trying to tune the car back up I have some hope I can actually learn to do this.
You can do it!
A lot of singers, especially blues singers, rasp on certain accent syllables. How do they do that? Or Linda Ronstadt on It's so easy to FALL in love. The word FALL is rasped.
Again after seeing many of your podcasts and integrating these small treasures... Im thinking I should just join up and do the whole course... I have to speak a lot during the day and its getting a bit better that my voice isn't warn out by evening time singing! Thanks again!
I think you're right, Anton. No sense in piecemealing your voice. Do it as a whole. Build the foundation solid as a rock and then keep going.
5:04 my crazy dog running after me 😂 btw I love your online classes!! Very entertaining!
Glad you like them!
"for you baritones you guys are gonna feel a tug" me a bass who wishes he could belt
Keep at it, mr meme man! And if you have any specific singing related questions head over to my free singing forum. Please post there, beneath "General Singing".

Thank you!
So glad i found your channel..i surely learn tons of essential tips from you Sir..thanks a ĺot for sharing..i'll be watching your other vlogs 🥰🙏🎶🎤👍👍
I landed here, and I see you have some more tutorial on belt singing. Than I will go back to lesson 1.
Glad to have you here, Neva!
Great Lesson thank you how much I owe you lol keep on keeping on ❣
Thank you! Will do!
Please please please.......Anything Phil Collins. OMG I would be indebted to you!
I am a huge fan of yours Ken. To say I idolize Phil Collins is an understatement. He is multi talented and not just anybody is worthy of him, except for you!!!!! My top request would be " I wish it would rain down" . His friend Eric Clapton played on it as well. Unbelievable vocals on it. You'll nail it Ken .
Thanks for the request, Shawn! And thanks for the vote of confidence!
ken i love to sing but i need voice training and i found you cilps on you tube and they are very enlightening and enjoyable.of all the videos i have seen yours is awesome and #1for me.you not only say but you do and the proof can be seen with your students ,still listening to your videos.thank you keep up the good work.
FAY, thanks you for taking the time to tell me what you like about my channel and my videos. That is very thoughtful of you. I'm glad you are finding value in these lessons, and I hope it gives you joy and pleasure as you notice your voice getting better and better from following my instructions. Stick around. There will be more to come, and there are hundreds of existing videos on my channel already! Nice to know you. :-)
Finally a vocal coach who doesn't think a bit wide mouth isn't bad technic when i just drop jaw without widening the lips my voice gets so dark nd squeezed but with this wide mouth with open throat techniques im getting till b5 easily thanks ken!!
😀
Haha I think I've sacrificed the high note at the altar of belting
Me too - I hate my high notes, a vocal coach once labelled me a soprano but I NEVER sing there
Really that is the best vocal worker teacher ☝️!!!! Great Woland and Bruce Lee 👍!!!!! Thank you so much !!! But secret in his eyes is too 👍👍👍!!!!
Rock on!
Wow!!
You certainly are amongst the best of any teachers I've had the pleasure to work with!❣
I can finally comprehend a technique;
And...
I'm watching every free video you have posted on YT yet...
I'm still compelled to start your monthly program; [not that this stuff wasn't enough]... but, that I wanna see what else I might have missed. 😁
You Ken, are the real deal!
...Who could possibly challenge your techniques with anything more understandable? 👀👁😆
I'm all ears...🤣
Awesome! Can't wait to hear about your progress!
I love female belters with rich and round vibratos, especially when they stay true to a song's melody and don't use runs and riffs. I wish that kind of singing didn't go out of fashion, but it seems like it has. I love your work. Thank you, Ken.
Rock on!
I just want to say, I had no faith in singing until a couple friends told me I could sing the genre's of music I grew up on well.... Your lessons are helping me tremendously. I recently had a friend tell me i pushed the beginning of a word too hard "which is the headnote right?" You are a great teacher....I'm sure i missed the video explaining it, but why do you hold your tongue out like that, is that a practice thing?
I wonder too
Hi Ken, I've got a question. I try to difference between twang and belt. What I know is that twang has two variants oral twang and nasal twang and the resonance in the first is in the teeth and in the second in the nose.... And It seems to me that belting is like a louder variation of oral twang... Could you clear me this question? Thanks Ken you give so much help with your videos already.
That was very helpful. I'm always looking for information to improve my singing. I am singing since the last year and I learned so much. Thank you for uploading. When I sing I try to find the right balance between tension and relaxation. Even if you sing louder you have to stay relaxed even though your body is under a balanced amount of tension. So learning to sing is as hard as learning an instrument.
You are learning valuable information and retaining it. Good for you! Beware mixing different methods, because you may find a lot of contradictions.
yes, I am very careful. I take care of what it feels like and how it sounds like when I practise. If I feel any discomfort, I know that I am doing something wrong and I also listen to my records over and over again and there are always things I discover that have to be improved.
Please allow me to talk about my first impression about this video. Your speaking voice is so beautiful, I thought you must be from the choir but somehow look like a Rocker. After 2 mins, I start to think why this guy talk a lot, not like the other videos on the internet, they will give exercise very quick. However because you say you are the King of Belting and your voice sounds very beautiful, I keep watching, when you grab the guitar I thought you are gonna start singing or exercise. But you didn't until 3 minutes later, LOL. But once you start the exercises and demos, I was surprised! It is really easy to do it by following your guide and I enjoy to hear your voice either you're singing or talking.
Thank you for your free lesson to let me learn 'bout belting. I was using it but didn't know. Your explanation helps me to do it in the right way and sounds better. Every second I watched this video is worthy, the similes are necessary. I shared with my frds and start watching other videos from your channel. I LOVE your version of "She's Gone". Really appreciate for your sharing. Bless you!
Is every individual different? Im just not really comfortable doing belting. What i do is usually just go to mix, and add more volume.. i could easily do distortion in my mix and head.. i could feel less air when singing in that range..
thank you for your tutorials Ken they thanks to you now I can sing a bit xD if I trained even more I would sing much better
You're welcome for the tutorials, Endrit!
but not for requests ? xD
This lesson is PURE gold. Well done. Thank you for your insight Ken!
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Again, pretty good explainations. Step by step, it's the key.
I played the violin for yrs was pretty good ,so i do know you have to practice and do scales always .
All forms of music require practice if you want to really improve!
Laaaaaaaa laaaaaaaaa awesome this text is the best i ever sung ever

Hola Ken. Llevo muchos años cantando. Más de un año mirando videos en español sobre la voz mixta sin ningún progreso. Lamento mucho no saber que dices en cada explicación. Solo entiendo lo que miro de tus ejercicios. Pero mañana trataré de pasar todos tus videos al idioma español. (Claro, por escrito gracias a un software que he bajado del internet) Te admiro y te aprecio mucho Ken. Eres el mejor maestro y cantante del mundo. Exitos y saludos desde Colombia. Apenas llevo una semana mirando tus videos y ya he tenido muchos logros con mi voz sobre todo en los agudos. Gracias Ken TRADUCTOR DE GOOGLE
Hello Ken. I've been singing for many years. More than a year watching videos in Spanish on the mixed voice without any progress. I'm sorry not to know what you say in each explanation. I only understand what I look at your exercises. But tomorrow I will try to pass all your videos to the Spanish language. (Of course, in writing thanks to software that I downloaded from the internet) I admire you and I appreciate you very much Ken. You are the best teacher and singer in the world. Success and greetings from Colombia. I've only been watching your videos for a week and I've already had many achievements with my voice especially in the highs. Thanks Ken GOOGLE TRANSLATOR
