How To Practice A Song - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy

  • I believe the best way to practice a song isn't just by trying to belt it out.
    There is a specific sequence that works best.
    And it doesn't really matter what style you want to sing.
    That sequence involves starting out lightly (I don't mean airy, I mean little volume).
    Work up gently how the vowels feel most comfortable in your throat.
    (In my singing course "How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else" I thoroughly walk you through this process).
    It's best to start with vowels first (no consonants and nothing to choke off the throat when singing like hard consonants such a G, NG, B, P, M etc.).
    Then little by little you can start to add more weight (volume) to the song.
    Start with one verse at a time. Don't jump to trying to sing the whole song through.
    Once you have mastered the first verse, move on the first chorus. (vowels only).
    Continue this until you have built up enough stamina to easily get through the song.
    Determine what your Tessitura is. (the most esthetically acceptable and comfortable vocal range for a given singer).
    You can grow your voice to increase your range, but it is best to start here.
    So again, once you have mastered the vowels, gently start adding back the consonants.
    You will find that you are training your throat to stay open so it is not "closing off" when you re-introduce back these vowels.
    When you get really good at this, you can start bumping the song up one tone, then two tones and so on, to increase vocal range.
    I hope this was helpful.

    My singing teacher always says to me "sing only the vowels -A E I O U - of th lyrics. It has to sound like a single stream of air".
    The best advice ever. It's not easy, but it pays.

      @@kentamplin Glad that i stumbled across this issue :), or "issue". Just glad that i found myself doing it without knowing why. Felt good, relaxed, and empowering by just humming along some songs, that usually are in a high key performing. As you said, the truth's in the singing. And yes, ofcourse i've bought your course. I have adjusted my gaming chair, so that i can more easily reach the feeling for my abdominal core muscles in singing. Greetings from northern Sweden

    He just gave away the key to the magic of being able to sing more than one note all night... KTVA. ⚡️
    I hear (and sing with) singers who are constantly struggling with consonants and transitions, and these ppl are considered good singers at their pro level (they get praised by ppl every night). 👏🏼
    If anyone knows a more experienced/proven vocal instructor, or a more comprehensive/proven vocal course out there, plz let me know.

    You're so right singing a song that fits your voice and your tone, I can all most bet you there's a lot of older professional musicians singers out there that didn't think they was going to be playing the same music 40 years later when they wrote it because if they have known that they probably would have wrote the song in a lower key compared to the original key that it's in.

    I am in awe of the knowledge and experience Mr. Ken Tamplin brings to the table. Mr. Tamplin's vocal academy has renergized my interest to further my knowledge of singing techniques of all genres. Mr. Tamplin's Vocal Academy CZcams page, along with his website and forums, provide more information on vocal techniques/awareness to help an individual better themselves as a singer, as well as to further understand singing as it pertains to the artform of historical expression of which it formed.

    I have to say dude, I respect so much how insanely helpful and full your free CZcams tips are. When you bring up an issue or exercise - you give us the whole rundown. They've given me way more trust that your course is fantastic and really drove me through multiple plateaus. A lot of CZcams vocal coaches give just enough advice on a topic to get you interested (without explaining deep into it to teach WHY the tips work) to hook sales. You hook sales with free results and immense sincerity; keep up the good work brother. You do the community an amazing service.
