How To Sing Like Freddie Mercury - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
Freddie Mercury will always be remembered for his uniqueness and versatility and Queen were really pioneers when it came to doing the anthemic choruses they are known for.
What are some other bands can you think of that also were characterized by their use of anthemic rock?
Let me know in the comments!
In this video I'll explain the techniques and elements Freddie used so you can see how to get to those same places.
We'll look at how we can achieve that same phrase singing by controlling our breathing, as well as how we can replicate his same sensitivity by adding a little air to our sound..

Freddie's early voice on "Killer Queen", "Nevermore." Amazing.
Indeed!
This is golden information on Freddie's singing. He was one of a kind.
Totally...I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'm not a singer, neither do I want to learn. But these videos of yours always kinda make me stronger inside. I love to watch you explain all that stuff, Ken. You are full of power. Keep doing it!
I'm so glad!
I'll pay your bills from now on. Hahah. You're the sweetest Ken, I'm honoured to see this! :)
My pleasure, Dino!! 😀
Freddy was a true original. He could sell the song and take you with him wherever the song would go. Your singing and explaining are fantastic! Much of what you teach reminds me of techniques I learned from Elizabeth Sabine in North Hollywood back in the day.
Glad you're here, gearjmr!
Totally agree about Marc Martel. Adam is great and I love his solo stuff but for me he goes about Queen songs in a pop/soul direction, which doesn't sit well with my ears. Freddie was more dramatic and operatical. I know Queen chose Adam exactly because he doesn't sound like Freddie but I prefer Marc.
Thanks for the visit, Jo! Appreciate the comment!
Makes you really appreciate how phenomenal Freddie was. G.O.A.T. 😃
And, how emotional Freddie sang every song! 💕
Yes indeed!
Mercury's voice is like a tied wild animal. Most of the time, he tames his voice. But the strong animal is ready to break the chain. This is felt in his voice. And then there are times when the animal is released. Just for a short while. And then he ties him back to the chain. The animal need up and wants out. This can be heard from his voice. A like Formula 1 at the start before racing. Is hear the big power of engine. But accelerator force the engine down on base speed.
Freddie definitely had a powerful bad-ass voice!
Freddie Mercury is number 1 singer in the world
Rock on!
@@kentamplin 🤘
Man A+ for the teacher and the students. Incredible
Thanks so much!
Freddies vocals are legendary!
You got that straight...a total legend!
Ken, us Chinese have the utmost respect for teachers and mentors. The Chinese word for Mr., “Tsien Sang” also means Teacher. You are THE MAN! Ira Lee, Ph.D.
I appreciate that, Ira.
Best detailed breakdown of the complex FM I’ve seen. Nice job.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wait for these. Always puts a smile on my face. Absolutely golden info!
I'm glad you liked it!
Loved the, Freddie was a talent that comes around maybe once a lifetime.
Indeed!
I've heard where people said Freddie's unique overbite lent to his unique tone. Any thoughts?
I know he was concerned that fixing his teeth might change his sound. Anatomy does play a role in your overall sound. He had a bigger jaw, extra teeth, larger mouth and utilized false cords. He was special. A magical, musical unicorn, I guess.
I dont think his teeth not being straight affected his sound a lot
@@sunsundks3891 I think what they are referring to is his overbite/size of rooth of his mouth and overall facial structure.
It didn't have any effect on it although he thought it did...
Freddie Mercury is definitely one of my all time favorite singers! This helps me understand how to sing like him! Thank you Ken and God Bless!
Awesome! Great to hear!
Oh When I saw the length of the video 26 min 🙏😱 as I discover more and more about him I am more and more enchanted.. for example “ Father to Son “ Live at the Rainbow ... Thank you Dear Ken 💜🌺 And Thank you Darling Freddie , when I listen to you, the power , the emotion , the Love , the pain the loneliness, the joy and the fun flow to me . You are a flame of energy really, born to be on stage 💕💕 Rest in Love dear 24.11. we remember 💗
Yes we do.
DINO!!! Oh my God. I'm gonna fall in love 😱what a voice! He will be on my favorites list soon!
Glory7RedemptionPrincess 👍
I think it’s really cool that you gave your viewers a little glimpse of some of the KTVA singing technique taught in the course through your demonstration in this video. Hopefully that will inspire people who watched this video to purchase the course because guys, it really does work if you’re patient with it and work it daily over and over at least 5-6 days a week. And the awesome part is that the course can literally last you a lifetime. Also, a recommendation I have for a vocal coach reaction video is Smokey Robinson
Thanks so much, Steven!!
You're very welcome, Ken!
Fantastic job on this one. And Queen in the 70s was epic. I think your girls did great. And yes Freddie lived his music. Sara have amazing potential. And Brazil have a superstar soon
Awesome! Thanks, Erik!
Hey Ken, I would love for you do a reaction to Marc Martel and The Ultimate Queen Celebration Under Pressure. It is awesome Covid edition
Good suggestion!
Ken, Thanks for these tips I think you have helped me sort a few issues I was having with my singing!!
Great to hear!
This is so interesting you have so much information about singing and so much detail, excellent.
Thank you so much!
You funny!! In a very entertaining way. We know you are a fantastic singer but I have to tell you, I also really enjoy hearing your different language dialect impersonations!!! I grew up in England, with a British mother, so I've got the British dialects down pat and actually had to teach myself "Americanism" when I got back to the States (high school pressure and wanting to fit in). But I can flip back and forth in a heartbeat!! Thank you!!
Wow, thank you!
What a video! Ken, You are opening our eyes on how incredible human voice may sound. Bravissimo !
Wow, thank you!
It is just so difficult to shift from falsetto to that powerful aggressive yet high range voice. You do it well. I am same register as you and can't even dream of it lol. There were other singers like Dio, Plant, and even modern day singers who have similar vocal strength and quality to Freddie, but, IMO he is a slightly better songwriter, which allowed him to show a more versatile vocal potential, because you write songs that fit your singing style. He had the songwriting strength of a Lou Reed or Leonard Cohen combined with the vocal strength of the best singers. That's why we may never see another one lol.
Don't give up, Emil!
Thank you very much sir i have been waiting for this
So nice of you!
Intelligent breakdown Ken....Thank you Ken.
You have your own individual sound.
Thanks, Mark!
Wow never heard Dino before. I need to listen to more of this dude!
Definitely!
Title: How to sing like Freddie Mercury. "Marc Martel has entered the chat"
Thanks for the visit, Xander!
Marc is good at doing Freddie's middle 70's voice, but he does not have the power in his voice for Freddie's later stuff.
@@ZENOBlAmusic what do you mean power? marc has power in his voice.
@@huss2600 yes but not Freddie's power
Thanks Ken!! I loved the video! Freddie is one of my hero’s and your video of you singing in his style convinced me to buy your course and now a year later I can actually feel I’ve improved so thank you so much!
That's fantastic, Joseph! Keep up the great work! REALLY happy for you! 😀
It's okay, Ken, that you didn't fast-forward that part. I know I didn't. And wow, all of this is fascinating, the explanations and demonstrations of Freddie's singing. I was a fan back in the Seventies and you are right, many bands back then had a big vocal sound and I liked Grand Funk for that.
Thanks for listening, Robb!
Thanks Ken Tamplin. I am practicing according to your tutorial
Very good! Keep it up!
@@kentamplin but still struggling with my head voice😧😧😧
@@ajmainahnafsifat7117 th-cam.com/video/G_bZEbZeRac/w-d-xo.html
Ken, it's amazing how you can sing Freddie and also Elvis with so much control, I am really impressed. Very well done. I am following your e-mails and videos as well. Thanks for everything.
Thank you, Raul!
Just love this video 💝💝💝. The different styles, technique, and versions of singing. Learned a lot. Thank you. Oh ....... how ...I love ...Freddie Mercury. ❤️.
You are so welcome!
Emotion + KTVA = KILLER!
Another great “How To Sing Like” sir Ken.
Thank you, Joshua!
Ken, this is your best how to video yet. Tons of great insight and analysis. Thanks for providing it free. Dino is a beast. I hear some Geoff Tate in there as well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ken, man you sing so great, cool and rocker!!! you should record many many songs! you voice is so unique and personality, loved it man, so warm rock and style, very different. I know Queen my whole life, big fan, and your versions sound so new and loved them, amazing, now I´m big fan of your performance !
Wow, thank you!
Thanks for the tips, ken. Always worthy content
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lots of great information in this video thank you so much.. PS I was sitting in drive-thru at Culver's yesterday and a car behind me was blasting Ken tamplin music I thought that was awesome!
That is awesome!
Excellent by all & Sara gave me goose bumps! 😳
Groovy Gal 👍👍👍
Hi
Always sending Love to you and all. Great video

Sara is fantastic. She is my favorite.
Here in Brazil, with someone like her, we say It is a point outside the curve.
So glad you enjoy Sara!
THIS IS PERFECT I ALWAYS LOVED FREDDIE AND THIS CAME OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY!!! =D
Happy belated birthday, David!

Wow! You're too kind, Mohammed!
Love you ken thanks for all the tips x
You're taking on Freddie Mercury?! 😨 I love you, Ken. I've got to see this. 💜🔊🎶
Yes I am! Enjoy!
Your student sounds like Jorn Lande, that's awesome
Vinicius Cunha 👍
Freddie Mercury had great technique! I wish Ken would do a feature on Tony Williams of the Platters, he had fantastic technique like Mercury...
Hey Ken loved the video, I was wondering if you could do a video on morrissey either a how to sing like or what makes this singer great.
Great suggestion!
Its so awesome to be you ken. You can just easily hit high notes.
It took a lot of hard work, m m!
@@kentamplin I have been following your videos for a year now. Love all your posts sir.
I just wish that you will have a school here in Philippines. So that i can enroll and be personally trained by you.
@@mysterious14u I sure appreciate that!
@@mysterious14u My course comes to you, m m! kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
this is beautiful your voice is insane man. For how long have you been singing ? Keep up the good content!!!
Thanks, BadPlo! I've been singing a loooong time.
You have a way of explaining that even I can get it.
Hahahaha! I'm glad to hear that! Rock on!
My favorite singer!
And you Ken!!😄🤘
Thanks so much, JanLuka!
Hi, would you mind analyse Billy Idol way of singing and share your opinion? It would be so kind of you. Thanx and all my respect and admiration to you, Ken, You are authentic and a mighty real human being.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Sara ROCKED the Show Must Go On!
I agree with you, Summer!
You should watch Ally’s version. That might be the best cover of that song ever. She has her own TH-cam channel.
¡WOOOW,Ken!.You are amazing and phenomenal.👏👏👍👍🖒🖒.Greetings.
Thanks so much, Martin!
This video is as cool as your T-shirt!! :D Badass!! :D By the way I got the Pro pack course and I am so excited and happy!!!
I would like to be a pro singer and I am grateful to you Ken!!!
Have fun!
Dino is a flipping beast! Also doesn't hurt that he's a super handsome dude!
Indeed!
Freddie!!! 👸
Freddie!
Can you do Lou Reed sometime? He's a good example of your saying "A singer is a singer only if....."
Want to sing ken is the best at this
Ken, in your opinion who is the better singer, Michael Jackson or Freddie Mercury?
He was a vocal virtuoso! Was he classically trained or just had prodigious talent? Curious if classical training would help a singer who sings in a different genre-rock or jazz?
I believe he had some training, while in boarding school, but I don't think he studied voice, per se.
I believe he only had piano training at boarding school. Gonna have to look it up!
I think you're right! Thank you!
Hey Ken! Great video. I love Sara and Alyona! Both beautiful and incredible singers. What can i say about Freddie? We definitely lost him way too soon. Freddie was one of a kind. He was a great singer and an outstanding frontman. My favorite performance has to be Live Aid. The set that Queen did was amazing. You would think that it was a Queen concert because Freddie had the whole crowd going absolutely crazy! Simply a phenomenal performance.
Well said!
@@kentamplin Thanks Ken!😎
I love sara may favourite singer form Ken Tamplin shes not boring
Brian used to say "you'd never know how good singer Freddie was, until you try to sing a Queen song..." so cool man, loved this video
Rock on!
Great video as usual. Freddie was unique. I remember in the seventies my friends called me crazy for listening to QUEEN, now 40 years later those who are still alive think that they made great music. I´ve talked before of a very little know singer that also died very young that i would like you to look at. It was called Jan Werner Danielsen.
Keep the good work
Thanks for listening! 👍
Great! Tanks from at Queen fan. 👑👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Prata Jose!
God damn i wish i could sing. Well it's a joy to listen to your bad ass singing. Another great video!👏
Go for it, We on Board!
What settings/FX you have on the mixer there.. compression? Thank you ❤
I liked Alyona's style. But if i wanna compare anyone with Freddie you know its really hard. Freddie was unique.
Indeed!
Great video. All sound awesome. Dino is my favorite ✌
👍💜😀
Sorry one more comment. I can imagine Sara doing a song for a James Bond movie. Haunting...
She'd be great!
Ooh “goats wiggle”, too funny
Caprino 🐐🐐🐐
Hey Ken I’m in your program I’d love for you to check out ‘the struts’ A little like queen but obviously not on that scale.
Thanks for the suggestion, James!
That was fun I sang along with you... Great info as always. Great examples. They are all so inspiring. Please do how to sing like Karen Carpenter.
I could hear you!
I really liked Alyona’s rendition! 💖
👍💜😀
Like!!
Super!
Really great analysis. Freddie was master at changing the colour and tone of his voice to fit a song, and to add nuance. There is also obviously a lot of aggression. Freddie had a great tone, so these techniques might not work for every tone of voice. I think Alyona's cover is definitely the best by far out of the three options. Freddie did not use that much vibrato on Queen's final album where The Show Must Go On comes from, his voice lost some power in that final year before his death. The Show Must Go On is not a triumphant song, it seems like Alyona really understood the true message in the song. The song is about accepting or coming to terms with what is to come. Freddie did not sound dramatic in the first verse of the song, he sounds resigned to his ultimate fate, the song is bittersweet, it is about making that last final effort before death, there is no happy ending. You are not going to overcoming some big challenge, it is just that final effort before death. This is not We Are The Champions. It always feels wrong when singers tries to approach the song in that manner. I have seen Alyona's cover before I think she has one of the best covers of this song because she understood the message of the song, and conveyed the right emotion. It would be great if you could some other 80's song such as Who Wants To Live Forever or Princes Of The Universe, a song which everyone really struggles to sing is surprisingly I Wants To Break Free, Adam is quite a high tenor and he lowers this song by 2 semitones when he performs it.
Well said, Zenobia!
The great Freddie Mercury
Indeed!
How can you be a bariton and have all this extension and falsetto and perfect octave Jump (and fifth and all the damn intonation perfection and...ok I give up...)
My best sincere congrats great talented and professional guy. And Nice and smart guy.
A lot of hard work!
@@kentamplin and talent
Great great video sir.
Glad you liked it!
This is great, even when sick!
Feel better, Tammy!
I was referring to you being sick, that's what you said!
@@tammyevans7333 Haha! Okay.
Great video! I'd love to hear you analyze Axl Rose.
I have!
@@kentamplin Cool. I'll look it up.
It would be so cool to see how to sing like Julian Casablancas. I love the Strokes and the Voidz, so it would just be cool lol
Rock on!
Love Alyana and Dino. You guys rock!!!
Awesome!!
That DINO guy, WOW!! I Googled alot but couldn't find anything :(
Rock on!
Both girls did great. The second girl's (foreign?) accent sort of comes out on the ending of some phrases/notes, but it sounds cool anyway. If the first girl could move down a few keys, that would be really close to freddie. I don't think it lacks emotion.
The second girl is Sara Loera. She's from Southern California.
This question might be slightly out of place but I was wondering what insights you might have about coping with the lack of performance venues in relation to Covid 19? I found a karaoke app a bit back but something honestly feels off about it, no crowd, and little to no stimulation. I suppose musicians worldwide are feeling this but I respect what insights I've witnessed you share and I'd really like to hear your input on the matter if you can find the time?
That is actually a very good question . What I used to do, prior to touring, was jog in soft sand as well as doing a lot of sit ups and push-ups. Sit ups can be problematic because they can bind up your abdomen if you’re not careful. Something else I did, that was probably as helpful as anything, was to do jumping jacks in between verses and choruses of songs and running in place or getting on the Nordic track and putting it on very high in between songs or doing it while I was singing my songs. This kept my aerobic levels very high and able to sing at the same time so that when I hit the stage I was game shape. I am, fortunately, able to keep singing now, in studio, but realize this isn't an option for most. I suggest staying physically fit and finding ways to deal with the emotional and mental stress of the lockdown. Prayer, mediation, talking with friends and family and avoiding emotional isolation are all very important. 😊
@@kentamplin Thank you so much for taking the time to elaborate Ken. Wish you the same as I wish my collaborators in that you keep up your passion for music in these difficult times.
Fredsie really was otherworldly
He was!
I live in the forest in the Rocks Mountains. When I look out the forest is perfect, rocks, bent trees, logs with knots, and it’s “perfect “ what I am learning from you is so is the human voice... warts and all ...
Well said, Worthrhetime!

How to sing like Freddie Mercury......Be Freddie Mercury......he was one of a kind.
One can learn to sing in his style...not be his clone!
21:00 When Freddie recorded "The Show Must Go On" he practically knew he was going to die (he died about a year after he recorded the song more or less). Freddie maintained an amazing vocal up until the very last moment. Just listen to "Mother Love" the last ever song recorded song by Freddie, it just gives me goosebumps to know that he was singing that high and that amazing, and he was in pain. Brian May said that during the recording of that last song, Freddie drank a glass of vodka or something and he was able to nail the vocal. Unfortunately he wasn't able to finish the song as he was too tired. Brian had to sing the last verse as Freddie was not able to finish it.
A real tragedy. Gone too soon.
Estou aguardando a próxima música com alyona iarushina
👍💜😀
Its very hard to sing like freddy.
Indeed!
