Members chamcham Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 He seems honest enough.[video=youtube;WcHu3xHtvis] [video=youtube;2ZGaxscWLbc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZGaxscWLbc The guy in the clip is a professional singer. According to Ken, he has some vocal damage, but not to thepoint where is has lost range. Oddly enough, his voice sounds early like Paul Graham, the founder of Y Combinator (a company that funds and runs start-up companies in their early stages).

Members Jersey Jack Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 I've found Ken Tamplin to be VERY helpful. Now this may be because several of his major emphases have happened to address specific problems I have, but for me Ken's stuff improved my voice more than any other instructional material I've used. Significantly so. Where I think others might find his materials lacking is in the extension of range. Unlike, say, Brett Manning (whose materials seem to focus dramatically on extending range), Ken doesn't fret too much about smoothing out the chest/head transition. He does address the passaggio, but not nearly with the depth and obsessive urgency we see in Brett's stuff. So, if your holy grail is a seamless connection between head and chest, Brett is your guy. Otherwise, I think Ken's course is one of the best out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a sticky listing these types of courses/resources be possible to save new singers trawling through past threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members urca Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 None of them hold a candle to Lance Schnerpelli, look for his lessons on YouTube. Very easygoing yet informational.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jersey Jack Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 I disagree, sir, I disagree. Lance Schnerpelli is washed up and will never be as helpful as Ken Tamplin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rodclement Posted January 11, 2012 Members Share Posted January 11, 2012 He was but them Tamplin killed him and ate his liver!!! He also uses his vocal chords as hair extensions! On a serious note...Tamplin is tops in my book as well, most practical stuff I have ever used. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
