- How To ROCK Your CHEST VOICE! - How To Belt - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
Much of today's singing has moved away from big powerful vocals.
Instead, an emphasis is placed on singing lightly, airy and a reliance on falsetto.
This is partly because of a shift in styles of singing over the past
50 years, and partly because people have been sold the idea that singing lighter will "save" your voice.
This couldn't be further from the truth.
If you "pamper" a muscle in your body (which is precisely what the voice is, a group of muscles), it will atrophy (shrink and get weak) over time.
We must think of the voice like building a house.
We first lay down a strong foundation for our voices (starting with our chest voice) and then start "adding rooms" to our house over time.
The way to do this isn't by "pampering, favoring or wimping out" our chest voice, but instead to BUILD it!
Now I think it's important to understand what Chest Voice is.
In Bel Canto/Appoggio (opera), the term "Chest Voice" is defined as any part of the voice that "resonates" in the area of your chest.
This is true for Bel Canto/Appoggio's definition of "Head Voice" as well (anything that resonates in your head).
While that may sound like a reasonable explanation, I believe these definitions illusive and ambiguous (hard to understand and identify).
I have redefined these terms to be easily understood and recognized.
I want you to think of your chest voice as your "Call" register. This can extend from the level / register you speak, all the way to "calling out" to someone from afar.
Within this "Call Register" (also known as a "Broadway Belt," where we get the term "Belting"), there is a "shifting" (so to speak) from our speaking voice into this Call / Belting register.
This area is called "Primo Passaggio" or "The First Passageway."
The goal, is to safely "shift gears" from our speaking register into our call/belting register.
So think of your voice like a finely tuned car engine with various gears to get you to various speeds and "torque" of your engine.
Once you learn how to control this engine, you can keep your voice strong and sing in many styles safely with amazing freedom.
In my video, I walk you through, step by step what it takes to do this.
I also have a singing course called "How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else" for those interested in taking their studies further.

I lost it at - HEY, THAT GUY STOP HIM. HE GRABBED MY PURSE, MY WALLET, MY PHONE, STOP HIM, NOW! :D :D :D I love you Ken
You liked that, eh? ;-)
Hahah yes, it was quite funny,to be honest here Ken, even from your facial expressions really show how truly devoted you are to your community, after all, you do not want your students to get robbed by some jackass right? Love your videos, always watching them and keep it up man
I know I did. That was a funny moment. There's enough fierceness in that to make him drop it and run for dear life.
That guy be like - don't stop me now
I like to call it a satchel, sounds more manly...Indiana Jones had one.
Finally I can reach A4 in my chest voice even though I am a baritone, thanks Ken!
You can do it!
Omgggg howww??? Huhuhu
@@deviprasad_bal ngl it took me 5 months to go from G4 to A4 chest. Don't be discouraged!
That’s the High note in Heading out to the highway by Judas Priest! The 4th octave is like the rock octave in my opinion, unless your Axl Rose, then your hitting 5’s.
I got only G#4, barely got A4..
Ken, I couldn't sing Just Give Me a Reason in a female key before. Today, out of the blue, I used chest voice and I could hit those notes and I sang the whole song and didn't lose my voice. Crazy!
That's great, Dong Heng!
3:53 Absolutely the reason why you are the best singing teacher! :-D
Thanks, Lassi!
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy You're welcome 😁👍 you're really an awesome guy, I also gave you a shout-out via instagram a little while ago
instagram.com/p/BdtEX-bhETr/
I also have something to ask about belting, which I really want to learn. I can get pretty high with some vocals, which are E when it's pronounced like "met", O pronounced like "boss" or like "world", U pronounced like "bush", A pronounced like "puck" or like "cat". The others are much harder. Also I have a problem with my neck, because it's pretty long and I tend to lean it forward when I start yelling... I have usually managed to stay relaxed even though I might have times when I just want to scream because it's fun, ignoring my vocal chords totally🙄🙈... Any help? I have watched a lot of videos about this subject but they seem either pointless or I am just slow to learn to do it right...
2:12 when he just turns into Roger Taylor😂
Haha never xD
I KNOW RIGHT 😂😂
Ken explains so anyone can understand. Such a gifted and smart individual
Thank you, Joel!
How can I send u a couple songs to critique I am a 3.0 student of 2 years
Whenever I feel like giving up trying to sing I watch Ken and I'm back in the game.
So much enthusiasm love it thanks for making these videos.
Stick with it, Joshua!!
3:54 I DIED
I thought you might like that, House! 😊
😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I literally have tears from laughing so hard. Can’t even put into words how hysterical that was 🤣🤣. I replayed it probably 10times; each time was as funny the first.
😁😁
Damn bro, youre still here giving hearts to comments and replying to each and every comments, much respect, shows that you really care for your viewers!
I really do, NicoZico! I really do.😊
hey man i love your content. you are the man.
Lmfao "that guy stole my phone!" :'D fucking broke my laugh box!
Alo Valentini 😂😂😂
Ken, love your vocal teaching.....has helped tremendously....excellent!
Great analogy! Most analogies I don’t understand but this one, I do. Btw: great videos Ken!
Every time I loose my way, going back to the basics. Still remember these scales by heart. Thanks Ken! ♥️
well done ken great tutor
Thax ken,am so blessed
Great stuff, Ken. I studied voice in university and my first teacher put special emphasis on anatomy. This helped my singing as I understood how the voice works. I could safely navigate my way through all styles of singing as I understood the physicality of what was happening in my body while I sang. I really appreciate you understanding and using the proper terminology so singers can begin to educate themselves on how the voice works. We have too many people blowing out their voices as they are trying to achieve a certain sound, but not doing it safely or effectively.
I am a rock singer too and all of my formal training helps me to not blow my voice and to maintain strength in the voice throughout a three hour live show. Keep doing what you do! As you say, the proof is in the singing and you are a great teacher and singer.
Thank you for your comments, Ryan!
Ooh he stole my phone ooooo😭😭😭
😂😂😂
Pure class Ken. What a gift you have. Thank you for all that you do.
I’m actually using using your videos to improve my voice for theatre (not musical) ! Your videos with enunciation practice is really improving my voice and I feel so much more comfortable and expressive with my voice. Thank you so much!
My fave lesson
Another fantastic video! I had taken voice lessons from another teacher a couple years ago, but from stumbling onto your vocal academy, I've really seen a vast improvement in my vocal delivery!
Spot on Uncle Ken! Awesome.
I love every bit of the process
I really like on how you do vocal teaching. I am fan of singing sir and you help me encourage and make me do practice more. Thank ypu so much.. You help me a lot! God Bless!
Omg I love you so much! I have watched a few of your videos and oh how much I wish I could afford to sing with you! I don't need singing lessons but there is always room for improvement. I had a voice coach once but she was no where near as good as you are. Holy cow you put literally everything I have ever said to anyone who wants to sing into practice. Just like every muscle in our body that can be strengthened by stretching, the larynx is a powerful tool that when exercised can be amazing.
My grandmother was told her entire life that she couldn't sing, I simply told her that she was singing out of her range and because she had people negatively commenting, she never sang alone or to herself. She does have a good voice, it was just having to find her range. Anyone can sing. Thank you you awesome man! You are incredible!
I've been watching these videos for about 3 years and had noticed some difference after the first year already
Where have you been all my life? So glad I stumbled upon you. You have taught me so much in these videos. I need your entire lesson and I cant wait to start
You're got some great analogies here, make it all make sense! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing these videos, Ken. I follow you and perceive the vocal foundations you speak of and sing with. Happily improvements arrive comfortably and noted, this through the education and example you share.
You're welcome, Shane. I'm glad you are progressing by using my methods! :-)
What a befitting illustration to demonstrate belting. Thanks for sharing.
The last tip you gave is the most helpful for me. I boosts everything in my voice (chest and couple of notes in mixed)
Ken, you are the best of the best. I've had multiple highly recommended vocal teachers and you always seem to teach me something new. Awesome videos brotha!
Thank you, Casey!
Thanks for giving so much to the TH-cam community Ken! You are the man, I don't know if I am biased I love whatever song you sing. I never was into Scorpions but you just got me into them with your cover of Still Loving You. Your voice rocks!
J Osterlau- Thank you so much! :)
Once again Ken...you nailed it with this video...and I would say to all watchers, the mental aspect behind the teaching is pure gold...active thinking is required in good singing!
Hi I found this on u tube, I live in the uk and sing in a vocal group and have found this very useful
You the most talented vocal coach on TH-cam no questions asked. All your videos are really well detailed and you teach it all in creative ways that makes it really easy to understand and start.
Appreciate that!
I've been focused on being the best musician I can be...been focused on guitar mostly but now am shifting my focus to vocals. Its amazing to me how clear and descriptive you guys are...ive found so many great resources and would like to thank you....my improvement may be small but im definately seeing a major difference vocally for myself.
Awesome! Love hearing that!
you are amazing....thanks for what you do.....always great lessons..
Thank you, donald!
Im in the progress of making my chest voice strong. Now i feel confident
amazing Ken ❤
Thank you, Evelyn!
3:53 i keep replaying and lmao
Ha, ha! Just trying to show you how to NOT do it! .-)
Fantastic!
Thanks❤
I read this before in a comment on another video and Id like to say it again...
Ken Tamplin 4 President!!!! I am seriously grateful, because your lessons ACTUALLY help. What a blessing you are sir. Buying a program from you would be 100% worth it. Thanks again you saint. :)
Thank you for your kind words and thoughts, musicisbrilliant!
Iv always had a really great range as contralto I can hit a E2 and my highest is Eb6 but iv struggle with getting my chest and head voice to blend nicely. Your videos are really helping!
Nice work!
Enjoyed the vid re the voice effect unit. As a struggling guitarist/singer (not the other way round) who has ended up fronting the band, I realise more and more how important it is to understand signing. Thanks to all the vocal coaches on line, people like me stand a fighting chance. Having discovered I have a chest voice, Mr Tamplin more so for me but crikey, he's got a higher range than I have. And about a 40 years head start:)
GREAT FRIEND
WOW! This was exactly what I wanted to know. I was confused about what was my "chest voice". Now listening to Ken's example in the first seconds of this video, I realized I wasn't siging with my chest voice at all, but indeed bringing my head voice all the way down to the lower notes. Now it's a whole new world for me! Gonna try building some TA muscle now to really belt! :P Thank you, Ken!
Awesome! Rock on!
"While that may sound like a reasonable explanation, I believe these
definitions illusive and ambiguous (hard to understand and identify)!"
.Same to me!!
Great video again....This is how to understand what it really is!
I'm so glad it helped flavy1000!
Thanks 👍
Ken, your vocal videos are the best. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
69 dislikes came from the ppl who stole the phone
shame on u
I have been practicing on your youtube lessons for some weeks now and I can feel the results coming in! Thank's for the good tipps and exercises! God knows what would happen if I had the money for your Online Course! Hell, I'd probably be singing better than everyone else right now!
Bonehand- So happy the tutorials are helping you!
Sir very good example thank u , now I understand what is chest voice 👏👏👍
I've already made a bunch of progress and my voice sounds way better than it did months ago. Thank you ken!!
Ken's programs are really effective.. Even his free tutorials are so effective for me already. If I have the chance I will definitely buy his course.. Wanna strengthen my chest voice and have some distortions in my singing..
deejay Equinox Glad the tutorials help!
Sir you are our singing teacher Kashmir here most talented people's All love you
Tell all of my friends in Kashmir hello! Have you heard me sing the song of your town? th-cam.com/video/hBKzCfSj1QA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you sir 👍
Awesome lesson! Thanks Ken!
mariorcmusic- You're welcome!
Hey Ken, I want to say thanks for all the free lessons, as frustrating as they are. I say that because without you and me talking directly I will never get the feedback i desire from you and, and to get that i need to fork out some dough. Yeah I'm a cheap ass so none of that. But i want to say thanks because even without your feedback I have been able to learn control over this instrument that is my vocal chords. Before watching these i was trying to push my chest voice into a high note and thought that my "Axl" voice was just a fun parlor trick but its not real music. Well i have relearned how singing works, and honestly in most songs sung by males there is so much head voice and mix its just insane. I thought these guys were gifted at first but now because of you and your videos i realize they are just restless and practiced. So thanks man, i think the understanding alone will help most people overcome the struggles of singing.
Thanks for the kind words, Scott. And you're welcome for the information that has helped you to improve. Keep at it, and you can continue to improve.
QUE MARAVILHA !!
QUE VÓZ, ENCANTADORA !!
ADOREI ....

BEAUTIFUL !!
😊😊😊
i love the way u give tips with examples. It has really helped me achieve so much in singing.
I'm glad it's helping you, Forbidden!
as always man...your the man!!!!...great lesson..
Thank you, Alnawie!
Such a great video Ken. Growing the strength of chest voice is so important no matter the style or genre one wants to sing in. Without a strong chest voice there's absolutely nothing to work with. Some people say things like "Oh Ken only teaches belting" absolute flat out nonsense - these skills are necessary no matter what style you sing. Stretching chest voice correctly is a must EVEN if one wants to sing in a thinner or "light mix" tone.
Thanks, Phil. I appreciate your comments. You certainly know real from fake when it comes to vocal instruction.
Strenghtening chest voice serves as the backbone of your vocal foundation. You're right.
Wow another great tip👍thanks again Ken luv it!
Thank you, Levi!
Even if no one thinks I’m a smart boi, my man Ken does. Thank you Ken
Holy shit Ken this helped me soooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!
Rock on! 👍💜🎤

Thank You Ken!!!! this IS Awesome Very Practical !!!!!
annimatrix- You are welcome!!
hey guys .. is enyone here who is doing his course without webcam lessons and is making progress?
i am interedting in buying this course , i just wonna be 100% sure that is worth of money..
thanks in advance :D
Anybody out there that is doing or has done my course got anything to say to Lovrio? Is it working as advertised or just another one of those hoax courses out there that takes your money?
It's worth the money. Remember to be patient and work hard. I've been at the course for almost a year, no web lessons, just forums when I get stuck. You will make progress.
Waj how much your voice improved?
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
here is my story of singing
at first i just wonted to play guitar... i wonted to be the best solo guitar player (something like slash)... and my father find me a teacher... my teacher is very good person and most patient man i ever seen.
because when i start going on his lessons he explain me everything and get me papers of chords and this stuff... in a week i could play a song fluently (without taking a secons to press another chord) and so on and on... it was about 10 lesson and he said to me "in my house we will sing to" and i begin singing with playing guitar at the same time...
the problem was i was so ANTItalent for singing ... i didnt hit a note for 4 months... i could hear.. i was thinking i sing perfect but i didnt.. Because i couldnt here...
so i build my hearing a little so i was hearing when someone hit the note and when i didnt hit it.. but it was still struggle for me sing whole song ( in my register and kids song like happy bithday and familiar) without not hiting and sounding terrible at some points..
so after i year of teaching guitar i was more and more interested in singing... my teacher made a group with his students... so i could sing with them (and play guitar) .. it was very helpfull because i could sing better with them i learn so much and progress better with them... but i was realy antiTalent for singing :( ... so it take time for me ... now i am singing for 6-7 years and i inproved in singing..
but when we sing songs we change chords that feel good for us and we can sing well with them.
but there is a problem i like ROCK and alot of rock song that i like are sing high (bon jovi , whitesnake, Guns and roses, .. )
i am low baritone i i expand my range just for 1 octave in this 6 years i am now at 3 octaves but still struggling with some notes.
so i realy wonna to expand my range and build head voice to (i didnt work on it at all :( .. )
my teacher is bass and he plays song and his song are all in low register... he once told me to sing in my own register that is given to me... all other is learned and not natural for him :/
i realy respect this man ... but i wont tu expand my range..
i think i can learn from videos because i sing for 6 years and i can hear and i know some things... if i were a beginner i probably would not even think about video learning... i heard alot of good things about ken tamplin .. and his student even sang on evrovision...
i realy wonna build my voice more and learn more about singing...
Ken is selling his online course actually free. That knowledge in the course itself is GOLDEN for your voice and understanding of singing itself! I got it for nearly 1 month actually. I will be uploading the results soon. Buy the course without any hesistation and see for your self, it's not some kind of bullshit "do like this", there is why you should do it and so great explained HOW to do it in the right way!
Totally worth every penny, even more XD I got all 3 full volumes + Pro packs - best choice.
Working on first one, bombastic boost for your voice and you will really like the course if you are into some technical part, want to understand why and how the voice and all the singing mechanism works ;)
Cheers everyone \m/
And many thanks to Ken!
Has anyone here started this course with an average voice and made progress that made it sound not just average but actually good? I'm really considering buying this but my voice is really just mediocre and I don't know how much it could really change that you know?
You can go to my singers forums and ask questions like this from students who are taking the course, if you like. You can also read reviews from students there. click here: forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com
After watching couple of your videos yesterday, İ started belting out Starship's Wild Again. You made me realize the "correct" things that I was doing after many years of self-practice (like breathing fromy diaphragm, and controlling my breath). Since you "identified" these variables so clearly, I can now "control" them even better . Had I known you in 1993, when I quit singing out of frustration of vocal fatigue, I could have had a singing career. Before I discovered you my hero was Sammy Hagar, he seems so instinctively preserve his voice, while roaring like a lion. And I found out he's your cousin:)
Excelente lección papá!!. Greetings from Argentina!
Great video to know the trick on making that good sound! I hope I can make progress now on my rock voice. Thank you, Ken! Really learned a lot from this. Hope you can make more videos like this.
Rhan Martinez - Awesome! Thanks for the kind words!
Hello Kim Sir
I have a problem that when I strengthen my chest voice I star sounding good in chest voice but my head voice becomes weak and vice versa. Please suggest any help ,I would really be thankful.
Love you Sir
why am i attracted at the “aaa aaa”s
Wow wow wow Ken this is really great exercise AWESOME!!! Thank you very much! Happy new year!
You're welcome, Esthibaliz! Happy New Year to You, Too!
Very helpful video. I am watching your videos and putting your advice and techniques into practise and I can really see the difference. Thank you!
Thanks, Lucy!
So do you recommend spending time on ONLY chest first? And only after however long it takes, weeks/months, to make it strong, then you can add head, and later mixed voice exercises into the routine? Or is it safe to do some head voice exercises while building chest voice? Any indication as to when chest is strong enough to start building head voice?
This is a great conversation for the forum, please consider posting there, you'll get great feedback! forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
I am practicing while laying on my bed.
My cousin thought I'm having a nightmare
Rock on!
Thank to your help I can finally hit a Tenor high c
Massive revelation for from this particular Tamplin clip: I'd never realized that there was a register crossover at the point where my standard speaking voice bridges to the 'call' register.. Very eye-opening and many years in coming! Thanks Ken!!! . I can't recall ever hearing that point before, and have been studying for a long time. I am one of those who through lack of use in that range, have a huge frustrating hole in my voice (from B below middle C, to F or F#). Well, this point you made in this clip is really taking me to task with something vital to work on.
Please let me know if you are learning about your voice from my videos, and let me know what you would like me to cover in upcoming videos! I look forward to reading your comments! As always, please give it a Thumb's Up if you want more videos like this, and please share on your other social accounts like Twitter and Facebook! :-)
kennnn Please help meee i have a problem im singing Throatly. Does singing throatly is bad for my voicee??
when im using it always and when i do your vocal exercises i think im using my throat more than my diaphragm. sorry for bad grammar :)
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, buddy, I've learned so much from your stuff! I use your teachings in the studio, live and when I warm up.
It takes time to learn to really rely on your diaphragm for your singing power, but once you "get it" you'll never look back. It's the engine that powers your voice!
That's great to hear, Jerod! Keep watching! More is on the way!
I try to switch from headvoice to chest voice, but I can't seem to do it without dropping really low. I also have a giant switch happening and it cracks.
Try it quietly, first lean from chest to "head" (falsetto), then go back, and try it quiet, then, step by step, louder!
Probably your forcing you head voice to go too low as he said, try to move from head voice to Middle,the voice that you feel in your troath and from there to your chest voice,and see if it works
Do you know someone who could possibly do that?
I'm having the same problems 🤣
love you Ken for beautifully guiding on voice taming
Uma Kaushik- Thank you! :)
Starting to warm up to the night sessions, thanks again Ken and goodnight! 🌙
Good morning!
