How To Breathe For Singing | Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy

This is one of the reasons it is so important for singers who move around a lot on stage to be in good physical condition. It's hard to breathe properly when you're winded.

I have improved a lot after just binge-watching your videos for 2 days. None of the other vocal teachers on Youtube worked this well for me! You are legit incredible Ken!!

I have been struggling with singing this song for weeks now!! And just by being more aware of the things you just taught made a world of a difference!! The proof is in the singing

I went to med school, but after 2 years decided that I didn't want to practice medicine. So I left to work as a pharmaceutical scientist. The reason I told you this is that intercostal muscles aren't in the lungs. They are the muscles between the ribs. But they are very important in allowing the lungs to expand when we breathe. So you are right; they are critical to singing!

"Grandpa's been doing this a very long time!" Hahahahaha! You make a great point though Ken, someone who sings the way you do for as long as you have, as well as train many others to do it, probably knows a thing or two!

I always had that question about where you had to take your breathe when singing, only the nose or the mouth, you just answered Ken, THANK YOU 🙏🏼 😭🔥

i figured out with the help of a coach that as soon as you pushed out all the air on a note you relax the stomach and its filling almost automaticly. after concentrating to relax the shoulders and breath below the stomach. its what you teach, so im glad to have a good coach actually showing it. thanks for all the confirmation and for sharing your knowledge

Excellent tutorial Mr. Tamplin. As someone who has been practicing SOME kind of sports and performing in front of some of my friends (God bless them) I could say that your insights are spot on. The concept of " totally relaxed" singing or "totally relaxed" playing is utterly useless when it comes to actual performing an athletic feat or singing on stage. I practiced boxing for some times and I used to be scolded by my coaches as being "too relaxed" and allowed my opponent, who manage the stress in their body to incredible speed and explosiveness, to do whatever the heck they want to do to me before I even realized what just happened. Same with performing with the live bands as the entire band literally had to told me to "put some weight" into my singing cause they can't hear me as I was "relaxing" on stage.

One day i will make it to The Voice and when i pass blind auditions i will be grateful for two things 1.god giving me a chance and power 2.having Ken Templin tutorials and advices free on YouTube!!! which helped me to become good singer. Greetings from Croatia and Mediterrean Ken 💝❤️

Mr. Tamplin I haven't seen your videos in a while... I still practice all the time and I want to thank you for teaching... I've learned so much from your videos.. I still need more practice but I'm a lot better than last year.... Thanks again....

Ken you are an awesome human being. Always praying for you and hope to give back someday.

I'm not a native speaker but you explain things so clearly that I understand most of all without subtitles. I like the way you demonstrate how things work. It's a bit like me when I teach French...forgive me the comparison 😊. As we say here : chapeau !!🤘

Honestly, among all of the coaches on the internet I came across over the last 2 years, you're the one I trust the most!

Thank you Ken. As a singing guitar player these tips are always helpful. I'm nowhere near being a lead vocalist I'm a lead guitar player I do it because I do enjoy singing a few songs a set on the weekends. I've used everything I've learned from watching you like the vowels and speaking clearly as possible. Thanks again!!

Ken, watching you is like talking to an old friend!! I would say that I taught myself how to sing. I sang to myself ever since I could remember, it's like I had a voice inside of my head that I heard and strived to sound like and I practiced until I sounded just like it. Fortunately, my parents put me in every opportunity to sing growing up, and I had many great mentors along the way. In my twenties I was really shy about my talent and too afraid to shine, I continued to practice in private with my music mentors that became great friends and networked with the best local talent. Now that I'm in my early thirties, I'm working on getting myself out there more because there is truly nothing in this world I love more than singing. I was born for it. Watching your videos reminds me of all the things I already know, or instinctually know and don't know how to express. One of my best friends and greatest encouragers died last year, not only do I miss my great friend but I miss having him around for his broad music experience and expertise. I've never really had a 1-on-1 vocal coach and I hope one day I could go through your program. Until then I come to your videos for reminders and I love watching your other students progress. Thank you for all the wonderful information <3 <3 <3

One of the most informative and helpful videos on YouTube. Great content!

Finally finished the video. Thank you so much for this lesson.

This is one of the video's that I love where you lecture from your control room and in the background is your recording studio where all the beautiful ladies sing while you film them. Your studio is beautiful

Your teachings have helped me so much I’ve turned from a songwriter into a real singer/ songwriter, thanks a million
