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. (sorry, english it's not my mian language)

@@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

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.

There's nothing worse that someone who talks about teaching singing or playing guitar, yet can't demonstrate how it's done. You made a wise choice. They should be able to sing at least as well as you would like to be able to learn to become. Tricks and tips won't get you very far. Actual vocal techniques that are taught by a real, professional singer who makes their living by singing well is a much better source of information than someone who is more talk than demonstration.

In one of your older videos, you mentioned that singers don't begin their songs with their strongest notes.. well except for while singing "past the point of no return", and instead work their way up or down to their difficult notes. Sometimes, I have to remind myself to try difficult songs with my neutral voice, before doing any tweaking. Just returning to the speaking voice is usually enough to regain control. For my first well liked Sweet Child o Mine recording, a friend asked before fully listening why I made a baritone cover, but really I was using each mini chorus to slowly climb to higher notes, then by the time I got to "now, now, now.... etc," I was able to go as high as needed. Now, I practice a lot of high note singing. Used dreamed a dream for my recent round 1 entry of the competition I am. I've heard many say one cannot learn to sing on their own, but I am thankful that you, Dr Dan, Mr Stoney, and others are willing to continuously provided us with the sources we need, to improve at our own pace, or even satisfy curiosities.

@maxkaddell 6 жыл бұрын

To pitch in on how I practice songs, I at least memorize a verse or the chorus, then as I go for a walk, I say each individual words several different ways. If there are high notes I need to hit, it sometimes helps to make my vibrato sound like a highly accelerating vehicle, how it starts slow and deep then gets quicker... kind of zip up a word to find the high tone, if that makes sense.

Thanks, Ken. I've found these tips helpful, along with your course. I'm trying to keep phrasing as contiguous as possible while trying to learn to "open up" the vowels sounds, and also trying to "cut back the air" with a bit of glottal compression/holding the breath while singing. The issue I've had is that a lot of the repertoire I have to perform daily are really fast litanies which are very consonant-heavy. I don't know if there are pop performers watching this who are regularly performing a lot of rap or other fast consonant-heavy or staccato repertoire while they are trying to better their open-throat technique, but it poses its challenges. Of course, the traditional chant technique incorporates quite a bit of "mumble," and the evenness of tone is traditional, as well. Softening or "faking" some consonants is also somewhat traditional. I keep reminding myself to "open up" whenever I can, and to "keep it light," using the resonance to carry the sound. I've also added a few more songs to my repertoire which have more lyrical singing passages. Anyway, thanks for your suggestions. I could request another instructional video with more advice about performing rap or auctioneering or other consonant-heavy performance repertoire, if you want.
