I think it's absolutely honorable that even though you offer the online course, you share so much knowledge for free on RU-vid so that people who can't afford the course can benefit from your experience. Thank you so much for this! Peace and love to you and your team
My man, Ken Tamplin... a friend turned me your way when I told her I was desperate to improve my voice and, more so, my range. I watched your video, QuickStart warm up for guys... I followed along with you shortly afterward. the results are re-freaking- markable!! I quickly gathered together youR short videos where I felt I needed the most improvement... chest power, strong head voice, correct warm up. I understand beginners to the course are likely to find marked improvement come quickly at first... but it had been a few days after resting my voice to start from scratch, and... WOW Example: If I do the quick warm up before any song I normally sing, I immediately sing the song better than I ever had. I knew the importance of technic, but at 62 years old, I thought my ability was to far gone to save. I can't wait to find out what else you can teach me to do in the other small lessons. I can see I may become a full-time student to your courses and your weird sounds and extremely detailed instruction. Are you a genius? I do not know, but do you know how to show people the path to better vocals than they ever thought possible? Hell, yes you do. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK AND TIME YOU''VE GIVEN TO THE WORLD OF MUSIC, SIR. AND IT IS VERY NICE TO MEET YOU, KEN.
Ken's gift to the world through his free instruction is truly immeasurable. I've loved to sing all of my life. It was very important to me. My goal was never fame, it was always to sing better. But I had such stage fright that performing was torture. Ken's gjft has given me freedom of expression of my very soul! I started singing Kareoke a few weeks ago and was invited to sit in with a live band in performance. I realized that, when I sing in public, I am fully me just being me. We all have that right! Now, no one has more fun than me when I perform. Thank you from the bottom of my soul.
I am so thrilled with the results I have received from Ken’s Brilliant & Complete instruction! My chest tickles from hitting notes I never dreamed of hitting & I am so grateful! 🙏🏽❤️🎶🔥👏👏👏
I am so grateful to you for your courses on youtube as my friends are very impressed how much my singing and vocal range have improved!!. I can hear myself singing better than I did 30 years ago.. Thank you ken
Voice warm-up always before the performance.👍 But?????I'm a mesosoprano,Mr.Ken😄😄👍 Thank you very much The Best teacher of vocal technique in the world.Thank you Ken💫💫 Always great presentation. Rock on🤘🤘🎸🎶🎙
I met Seth Riggs a few years ago (just before the Michael Jackson Bad tour) he taught me the same kind of exercises. I am a Blues, rock, metal singer, you and he are in some ways similar but I feel like I relate with you better, thank you for helping me with these exercises it's really helping me enjoy singing again
I've learnt a lot from you. It's been years m following you ! Now we have a band n yes we do rock n roll... Thank you Ken for all your tutorials. Wid luv from north east india
I've done the warm up and my singing after that was better than anytime before. I love to sing but I never learned how to, so I only sing when I'm alone, not to hurt anyone's ears. Anyways, you've got my attention. Subscribed. I'll share my progress after some time. If it goes well and I find it's something that I'm getting good at, I'll 100% take part in your course. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. 👍🏻
Enjoy the ride. It’s gonna be so good, I promise. I was really bad once, but you your good singing voice is just burried and you need to dig it up. Good luck
Thank you so much, Ken! With every single of your warm up exercises, I discover new fields of vocal agility... Your method really seems to be incredibly effective!
I was recently asked to sing Adele - When We Are Young. One tone lower than the original. (pretty high sing for male) But plus, without warming up, because there was no time for that. It turned out miserably. Many notes were fake. The voice was dry and the color of the voice was terrible. It was difficult to control the pitch. It all sounded miserable. And that's just because the vocal cords were cold. That was the last time I was persuaded to sing fast and instantly.
Wow what timing.! This video appeared on my phone (because I subscribed to notifications ) first thing this morning. Just so happened I had an hour before work today to lay down a vocal track. So I did this along with you before recording it. It totally helped me prepare. Even after decades of singing this inspired me and works. Thank you Ken!
Thx Ken! I'm doing your stuff for a while, but it is so nice to have fresh content from you, and have an opportunity to sing along with you. No matter at which level you are, you can kinda tune your instrument with Ken.
very helpful, Ken!!! I’m old but new to singing and performing. Thank you for posting them online for all to see. I wish I had your instruction decades ago!!! 😲😲😲(my singing face now!)
Thank you very much for this. Just want I needed! Your course has done wonders in the short time I've been doing it. I'm sticking to it for long haul and can't wait to hear what I will sound like in a few more months!
I have found your videos to be very helpful, Ken! Truly a wealth of information. Can these arpeggios and scale warmups also be done using a straw at any point within?
Thanks for the warm ups Ken and the tips and the walkthrough demonstrations always appreciate you doing these warm ups thanks for taking time to do these 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Well that's soo cool Ken, i've been waiting for such video for a long time. Thank you. i am a baritone, your instructions helped me a lot even if i don't train everyday. Now i can hit that G#4 & A4 in chest voice (mixed a little), it's soo cool. Best regards.
Very nice, thank you! By the way: My local singing teacher (opera singer) gave me very similar exercises. And also in general she gave me tips that are sometimes very similar to yours (open throat; first develop your chest register; first sing without distortion...). I take this as a good sign.
Ken these tutorials help alot, it helps me understand every exercise much better, I have the course and this expands on it so much more.... i am very happy with my results so far and hope to improve more whit all the youtube content.. thanks and explain us more :)
Congrats! I'm really very surprised about the beauty of the melody at the end of the video. According to Shazam the song's name is Sing. Where could I listen the full song?
Wow! Thanks so much Ken. I’ve done the 7- note warmup when I was doing musical plays. We all did, before rehearsal. The (La) thing. But you bumped it up to twelve notes. That’s cool. I could follow that one no problem. Same with the tongue-humming thing. But the first one was like a lip vibration and I’m not sure how you did that. Sounded like a roll but maybe I misinterpreted it. Nevertheless, I couldn’t do it. I can do a tongue roll, like a Spanish (R) sound but your mouth was closed when you did that. What were you doing there? Appreciate any advice. The rest of your warmup was fun and fairly easy. The beginning, I couldn’t tell where that sound was coming from.
I wasnt able to do it before working on my diaphragm support. Maybe you can work on that .(im a student too so dont take this suggestion too seriously)
How do you guys do the lip trills and not get dizzy? I think my forms good, as far as I can tell idk. I just start seeing static in my vision after like 7 of them. The rest of the exercises are fine
Hi Ken, first of all thanks so much for this great video! I'm always doing this whole video twice before starting to work out with the course. I'm currently in volume one and stretching my chest voice as high as possible (currently managing A5 and even B5 sometimes)...I'm curios about the AH vowel when warming up....should I flip into headvoice or stay in chest for the AH....I'm flipping into head when doing the lip drill and the tongue exercise but I'm not so sure about the last one. Thanks a lot and Take care!
Hey Ken , this may be a little bit of an odd question but when it comes to warmups should a singer always warm up the same way each day? Or do you alter your warmup depending on which song you’re singing and whether you need to access your high or low register more easily for that song?
Happy thanksgiving ken, great video as usually. I am a seasoned 80s rock singer for 30 years (I’m 57) now, my how time passes. Since getting back into singing after a 7 year hiatus, Your warm up vid above has helped me maintain my singing 3-4 times a week in two different bands. It has helped me warm up properly from what used to do and want to thank you for that. Would love for you to critique my singing. Can you accept wav files or mp4 files? Maybe use it in one of your vids? Lmk. Thanks Cos

Love you, you're so awesome as well! Love your channel. Your videos are just amazing, great, awesome! I'm not saying it for the first time. ☺️ (I think so) Nelly xx :)
Ken - I am starting to gig again with an electric band and will be singing much louder than I have been used to doing acoustic gigs. Do you have any tips to get my voice in shape?
Hi happy holidays Ken I've a question Robert plant was. Quoted as saying After if he did any pre show warmups He would mix together lemon juice and honey and drink this to coat his Vocal cords have you ever heard of Using this cocktail?
I sincerely don’t use any elixirs at all including honey and lemon etc.. Some people seem to like it, for me it just does nothing. I’m simply a filtered, room temperature water guy.
Hi Ken. Is there an alternative exercise to lip trills? I find them nearly impossible to do, and all my energy and focus invariably ends up being devoted to maintaining a piss-poor trill instead of staying on pitch, not straining, etc.
I take it since this is my first few times doing this i wont be able to hit the higher notes.I am stuck at a certain limit and will keep at it.I cant do that unless i hold my lips to get that effect.
