Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Charles.

Amazing voice ❤

that was deep bro

I totally agree...........this kid has talent. However, for joe average staying away from any song Steve Perry pumped out especially with Journey may not be the wisest route to go.

When I was 15 I was talking about boys on the phone with my girlfriends and having sleep overs.

I had a baby! Lol A terrific old man he is now!

Thank you, Nick. Glad you enjoyed Ryan's singing!

Really.

Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I see the point of putting this out there, but you have set the bar so high with covers from your other students (i.e. GG). I would love to hear from this kid in 3 or 4 years when his voice matures if you are still coaching hom.

Thanks for watching it and giving us feedback, Praxxus55712! We have lots of tutorials like this on my KZfaq Channel! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@kentamplin I feel like he could work on his vowels and trying to darken those vowels, so to speak. Otherwise, Ryan really killed this song!

Thanks, Connie!

Hello! There's a lot of vocal "tapes" out there. I started in high school, and worked with jazz singer Jackie Allen, then with Brad Nieztke (sp???), a music doctorate who works with Chicago's playhouse, the black ensemble. They do African American bios and such. Then, I studied Kevin Richards, because he does Rick singing, and that was a new one, but the exercises don't change too much from one to the next.

+Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy You know I have had an issue with this on different levels as a front man I always seemed to want to copy the original vocalist as close as possible (David Byron & Robert Plant), but as a guitar player people got upset because I didn't copy the original. I didn't pick up a guitar to be Eric Clapton or SRV they already exist. I want to learn from them and play it my way otherwise what am I other than a Karaoke show echoing back the original sound.

+John Roberts Funny. My first instrument is guitar. When I was growing up I wanted to be Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, Al Di Meola, Paco De Lucia, etc. etc. I learned their stuff lick by lick... note for note. It was THIS that made me a great guitar player. This was true for me for vocals as well :-). In fact let me tell you a funny story. When I was young I used to go down to the matinee performance of Led Zeppelin's the song remains the same. I would ask my parents to drop me off at the very first showing of the movie. About 10:15 AM on a Saturday. I would bring my guitar with an check it at the ticket counter because they would not allow me to bring it in the movie theater. I would rush into the theater and watch the live versions of the Led Zeppelin songs and then rush out and grab my guitar and try to play what I remembered seeing. I remember taking records and slowing them down with my finger so that I can hear Al DiMeola's race with the devil on Spanish highway and learn it note for note. These are the things that if we pursue them all of our heart will help make this great Whether it's voice, guitar, piano. drums, bass, keys or whatever. So I'm not sure you're your point but I would like to make my point and that is this ; the more things we can learn and bring our tool box (for playing singing performing) this will help us in the long run to give us an incredibly well rounded deeply rooted toolbox for our craft.

+Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Quite an honor, I can resemble Donald Roeser of Blue Oyster Cult quite well. Some songs sang by him are Burnin for you, Dancin in theRuins, and Shooting Shark. I just can't sing too high before my voice starts cracking, but I can resemble my favorite singer of all time.

I have a deep voice and have learned to traine it to sing high kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKx1pdyI36iYeZs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/md2PeptetKrPiJc.html However this is something that happens over time and not over night ... I cover this ion my singing course kentamplinvocalacademy.com/sale-2016/

Imti Jamir Ryan is off to a great start!

So do I!

Same bro

Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy you're awesome Ken

Jason Bryant Thanks Jason! :-)

Chris Guess👍

Thanks man!

👍

Thanks for the visit! Rock on!

So glad you enjoyed Ryan!

Ryan does such a great job on this song, Greg!

Sweet!! La voz rasposa en algunos agudos... Envidiable. Nunca he podido lograr eso. Great job!

Hats off* - Hands down*😅

Kevin O'Rourke Thanks Kevin

Don't think he's trying to emulate Steve here. Think he's just showing the range in which Steve sings this song.. Big difference.

WindRoseProducties that guy Arnel Pineda Can sound just like Steve Perry , that's why Journey hired him for a tour and made millions .

Renee Johnson- Great encouragement! :)

I agree, Virginia! Ryan did a fantastic job. Why do critics try to find the flaw in everything? Does that make them feel good about themselves? Really? Think about that...

I’d like to hear the negative people do a better job...

Thank you for taking the time to comment, Mike! 😊

Your on another level Ken.

Thank you , Kathy! Appreciate the kind words! :)

👍👍

:-)

Thanks for coming back, Mike! Glad you like it! 😊

Thanks, Joakim! I agree that he's amazing!

Yes, todd, Ryan did a great job on this song!

Have you heard about Steve Lee, the singer from the band Gotthard ? He is dead now but really was a vocal monster.

HardRocker47 Yes I know Steve Lee's voice :-)

Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Thanks for the answer ! ^^. It's really nice you know him.

Oh my god, Angel, what about the last 30 seconds of Mother Father? Steve's voice is so high it sounds like pure sound wave.

Angel Deville Yes! Loved Brad Delp of Boston, as well! My top favorite bands growing up: Boston & Journey! 💗

Thanks for stopping by!

@@kentamplin Sure!!!

I've had the opportunity to reproduce some older videos in 4K. I thought this one was worthy.

I think you could learn a lot about how to build your voice in my home course, Elizabeth.

Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy ok I hope so

Come out front or sing from the drumset.

Thanks for the kind words, Paul! He wasn't really trying to imitate Steve. His goal was just to sing the song and to do a great job. 😊

If you have problems with singing it makes total sense to learn everything you can about how to properly sing. Without that, you are fighting an uphill battle. Much of singing is a skill that can be learned. You might be surprised at how well you could sing if you only knew how it's done.

and that's precisely why I was encouraging him not to attempt the classics but to sing like Justin Bieber....NOT! ;-)

hahahaha

MarcDshort108 KIt also begs the question...what were you (and I ) doing at age 14? Were we at this level? :-)

def not lol. id like to think im somewhere around this level at 23. lol

and i apologize. i may have mis-worded... i wasnt trying to criticize. just saying that that particular song is very grown up and damn near impossible for someone so young to fully give the song all it needs

Glad you enjoy it!

Yeah but Ryan is only 14 here :-)

gilbarwaters - are you putting arnel on equal footing with perry? because i think listening to arnel sing "faithfully" is brutal - he just doesn't have the voice to pull of the song..... arnel (who IS a good singer) doesn't have the vocal power or range of perry. i'm no fanboy...and i like the new stuff from arnels journey (especially "never walk away") - but i've never heard a lead vocal as amazing as steve perry.

If Steve Perry's actual voice came out of Ryan, with unicorns and rainbows, the complainers would still complain. That's what makes them tick: Finding flaws everywhere they look and pointing them out makes them feel like they are somehow bettering the world by spreading their negativity and bringing others down. I prefer to look at what is right and uplifting... like Ryan!

Glad you enjoyed Ryan!

Nor should they.

Calvin smith- Yes he did!
