Oh, he is running damage control like a mofo. I have always thought he was full of it and a creep... this whole ordeal just solidifies those earlier inklings.
As a singer and vocal instructor, I get angry at people who are not honest with their students. As we age, our voices get deeper, that is a fact of life. I was a soprano and am now a mezzo, and I do not pretend to my students that I can still hit that Eb6 anymore. I can show them how to do it, but I am honest about the aging voice. There is no shame in it, unless you try to hide it.
Lo unico que no envejece es la mente, pero tu cuerpo si lo mantienes en forma, puede llegar, a moverse como si tuvieras 20 años a los 80 y sino mira a Mick Jagger con 81 años y se mueve como en su mejor epoca.
Your smile cracked me up as he sang. What a hack job. Thanks for reviewing. I particularly loved the studio vocal with reverb and delay being pawned off as live. Like you said, it sounded completely different 😅
“Cringe-E”….yup. I love that you included that particular adjective in video bc -I asked my kid how to spell cringeeee , as in when texting, reply: “ You don’t.. lol… you’re too old.”

He sings like a plastic mold of what he thinks a real hard rock singer sounds like. He could have been big with an 80's hair metal band. But he probably came off as too weird in the auditions so he never got a chance.
I also don't like it, but he is, technically, on point. Just like (his cousin, he claims), Sammy Hagar. He is "technically impressive", but I hate his sound. But that is just personal taste, to be fair.
This was what really bothered me when I came across his videos and watched a few 😅 I never saw more because he came across as self absorbed, for lack of better word.
@@danwarb1 I get that. But overkill IMO. And especially in context with his condescending style. It rubs me the wrong way. My gut didn't like it. And now that he's been exposed essentially IMO as a faker. My gut was not wrong.
@@TheGreekPoet i wouldn't say he's a faker. Sure, he lip-syncs in his "live" performances but we can't deny he has great vocals. He sometimes showcases his vocals in analysis videos or others that aren't his covers and he sounds really great. He has a pretty whiny, nasally voice in his higher register but well, he's a baritone trying to sound like a tenor so no wonder. I'm a baritone also and when I sing high, my larynx goes all the way up and I sound whiny too lol He definitely has chops but he's somehow scared of singing purely live. I don't know, maybe it's due to his age, maybe due to his perfectionism or something.
@@MultiKamil97 I understand your point. And sure, he has voice, can't deny that of course. But really, anyone who lip-syncs is by definition....a faker. Even Michael Jackson, who was obviously a better singer than Ken, lip-synced a lot "live". Just think, to pay to see someone perform only to find out you paid for a recorded performance. A vocal coach should be be setting a better example, IMO. Cheers 🙂
@@Desmondbrowne666 Agree, and perhaps we need to start a “Credibility Rating Agency” for live musicians. If they lip sync, then it goes on their “Credibility Report”. Ken would have a lot of negative data on his “Credibility Report” and would have a low “Credibility Score.” 😂
When I first came across his channel..his self-absorbed style rankled me straight away…then I saw him in a segment of various reaction-videos….my negative opinion was fortified. I truly appreciate your contrarian but professional approach in calling out those who should be leading rather than deceiving by example…BRAVO Fil, continue to fight the good fight!
I'm kind of shocked to see Ken exposed like this. I had no particularly bad feeling about him until recently, when he was sh*tting on Steve Lukather's vocal on Rosanna and laughing a lot about it. Not cool.
Thank you for making this video. The fact that Ken doesn’t sing live in his videos has already been pointed out by others on TH-cam. And yet, he’s still here. The guy is not only a disgrace to all musicians who genuinely share their real knowledge, but some of his advice and techniques are also downright dangerous. I feel sorry for all the students who invest money in his courses
i mean to play devil's advocate, i don't think it's so much that he can't do it per se, and more that he doesn't want people to hear any pitchiness. it's like not wanting people to see you with no shirt on at the beach lol
@@mathewhutchins2539 he really does have a wonky sound to him lol. like he does have a lot of ''ability'' vocal wise, lots of range n what not, but his tone is just not for me. he's like a studio singer you'd hire to cover like a bunch of 80's rock songs or something
I have watched some of Ken Tamplins videos and he had the audacity to say Stevie Nicks vocals are nowhere near as good as they used to be because she hasn't looked after her voice like he has allegedly. At least she does sing live though. Hypocrite. Well done Fil.
I saw her in February. Not only did she sing live for 2 hours, but she brought out her longtime vocal coach to do Leather and Lace, and she still trains with him. For a vocal coach to critique other singers and not sing live on his on videos, not good at all!
Ken is Ken's biggest fan. The dude's ego is so out of whack that I find it hilarious that you've exposed him to be a fraud. Thank you, Fil for another great video brother!! You actually have a really great singing voice. You should be the one giving lessons or doing live stream vocals.
Okay so he mixes it up and uses some help... theres no big expose here, cmon man....He's far from being milli vanilli ... lolz ... im sorry I have to add this.... theres alot of fuckin haters in this comment section. Im wondering if that is Fil's specialty... making others look bad so he can push his channel higher on the algorithm. Being asked to "Expose" a guy that has no effect on your life for no real reason (I mean he isn't taking money from orphanages is he.... or little old ladies) is just lazy. we're all adults and can choose to flip off the switch. Dog-pilling on this particular guy only makes you look like jealous bullies.
@MrMonkeyfarmer1 No, it doesn't. This is a guy who not only in a vocal coach. But also calls actual big name artists out for lip Syncing. And now he's doing it. People pay money to him for his vocal school. He should be more honest about what he's doing. Unless you're Ken.
Really? This Guy can’t sing compared to Ken. Ken has a voice like David Coverdale and just because of one video where he lip syncs to a vocal track which he laid down which by the way is extremely high does not make him a bad vocals coach.
Wow, Fil, I heard and saw everything you pointed out! What an exceptional analysis video! I am learning to hear what you have been pointing out for many months! What a wonderful teacher you are, Fil! I love learning from you! 💜
I grew up in Australia as a teenager in the mid 70’s 8n Melbourne seeing AC/DC live so many times with the great Bon Scott. He was never pitch perfect live every time he sang, and matched with the amazing music, that was what we loved as teens seeing our first rock band. It wasn’t miming on a tv show, it was real and gritty and sometimes lyrics were forgotten etc. And it was the realness and rawness of the shows that we absolutely loved even though we had the records. We wanted the genuine sound of the band, and that’s what we got every single time and it was brilliant!!!!
@@SuperStrik9 I’ve only ever seen them once and they were great, but AC/DC were my first ever rock band that I saw live (and after the first concert we went to every single show of theirs) so they will always be special to me, as is Bon! Glad you like Rose Tattoo. Angry is a small man in real life but he seems so much bigger when he sings.
8:20 if you guys are interested, I have the exact figures on how many people reached out to him to ask him to live stream some of his original music. The number rhymes with hero.
To be fair TH-cam sometimes does that 4 the wackiest reasons. My 🐇channel had 2 videos taken down due 2 graphics size. He could have done so deliberately..or TH-cam could've messes with it.
@@IMeMineWhoKen has a history of abusing the copyright claim system to strike videos with negative opinions about him! I wouldn’t be surprised if he did this here.
I LOVED watching this analysis. I’m not quite sure but I’ve felt Ken is a complete charlatan for years now. I love your video mate, from the USA. Ken reminds me of American televangelist scam artist.
Good analysis, you can definitely hear the difference between the live vocals and what’s being mimed. This is the first time I’ve heard of this vocal coach, but I really don’t like when people position themselves as educators/coaches/teachers and then are dishonest and deceitful!
Anyone that says you don't know or can't read music is totally batty! I found your channel about a month ago. I am the "proverbial person who can't carry a tune in a bucket". I have learned so much from your videos. I have come to realize there's so much more to music, however, I still can't carry a tune in a bucket. Keep going - don't stop! 🎸
Thank you. What is disturbing is that he is lying. And he is a vocal coach and he is misstating what he is doing vocally to his students. I have never been much of a fan of Ken Tamplin, and this makes me even less a fan.
NO he isn't. We know exactly what's going on. This is one of his non-teaching videos and he often redoes the visuals to be dorky/ funny and over-the top!! Wake up guys, its like you drop into a party and wonder where are the BOOKS are. Its a party. Look at his other videos for context...and get lives of your own please. This is ridiculous.
@@moonagedaydream-ohyeah You kids are too sad but i get it..i guess i was the same but in the classroom :) Try learning to sing from his channel then come back in a month and you tell me.
I've also found his courses to be helpful, at least at the very beginning stages of a singing journey. What he's doing here _is_ a bit silly but his general advice is pretty useful and applicable.
Hi Fil! That was an incredible analysis! I saw and heard what you showed and explained in this video. Why do singers mime or lip sync and not sing naturally? BTW, Congrats on getting 415k subscribers! Rock!
As a long time fan of Ken and his band Shout... That's definitely the recording of "Living for My Lord" from his 1990 album "An Axe to Grind." I've been listening to it for over 30 years.
Yep. Listened to that CD a ton as a kid and I can't believe he tried to pass off that recording as being live. Wild. What's more amusing is what I guess was supposed to be a warm up to try and establish it as live. crazy.
@robertberman6692 I've been a rock fan since I was little. Been performing live since I was 18 (1992) and I'd never heard of him until TH-cam offered me one of his videos. His ego is off the scale. I've been friends with Glenn Hughes for a number of years: still killing it at 73 and very humble. Such a difference.
Fil, another excellent video. Had Ken not been doing a live stream on the 2nd song, it would have been a lot more believable. Ken is an embarrassment. Thanks for pointing it out. I know someone asked you to do it, but it's good to see it when it happens and it is definitely cringey. You're going to make us all vocal analysis experts if you're not careful. I'm up for that.
8:34 wait.... he's HOLDING a guitar! Why not just sing it with the guitar and vocal LIVE? Why not just adopt Bill O'Reilly's motto? EFF IT! WE'LL DO IT LIVE! I totally understand the pressure of trying to sing an entire song w/o any mistakes or voice crack or missed pitch but he's literally mimed MOST of his cover tunes, I would claim. Then after singing along to them (which is actually does so there is some effort put into it physically), he'll often go "WHEW! Boy, that was a real workout!" or some such. I mean... it's one thing to mime, another to KEEP PRETENDING after the song is over! Just.... wow.
Never cared for Ken. In every video I ever saw of him, I always got the impression that Ken Tamplin is Ken Tamplin's biggest fan. He may be talented, but he comes across as arrogant to me. Anyways, please don't attack me for stating my OPINION on Ken. Cheers!
honestly it would be cool if he was more honest. i feel like he may have something to show people to learn but ..........i feel he just to be famous and in this day and age thats not it. i sort of feel bad for him....hes trying to get what he didnt get before and he feels empty because of it
when ALL the mainstream media lies on a daily basis, its hard to expect the peanut gallery to behave in a dissimilar manner. we are in a post-truth society and who are you to question someone who identities as a vocal coach or professional singer?
Personally I believe most of TH-cam cover songs are tampered. Guitarists use multiple camera angles, to hide multiple takes in their solos. (Tons of failed attempts are cut out, they may play hard passages 50 times and combine cleanest takes. When the camera angle switches completely, nobody can tell if it's from the same take or not). They may even overdub bad notes, that didn't ring cleanly. Vocalists do miming. Drum covers = quantized hits. Not necessarily all of the hits (leave some small mistakes in to mask it) but would be super easy to tighten it up. Nobody would notice. Or fixing a few hits here and there, in otherwise perfect take. The temptation would be high, to earn that TH-cam $$$
I'm a subscriber and I wanted to know if you've done any videos of Chris Isaac? Your integrity is incredibly powerful and honest. Keep showing us the truth. You're a rare gem of a talent.
Now i am happy that not only me suspecting about Ken Tamplin. Now i know that he's not singing live. I sang not perfectly in my channel but i sang 100% live.🤘
Fil, you're the man. There are loads of YT vids now blowing up all referencing W OF P expose on Tamplin. Can, open, worms. Wow. But it has to be exposed. I actually got suckered into buying his dang course a few years back. Thank God it was on special so I dint send hundreds. I feel sorry for anyone who bought his full price course. Keep fighting the good fight brother.
Great video Fil. I find the comments from Ken's fans very enlightening. They don't address any of the clear lip syncing... they just accuse you of being cruel or trying to defame him. It's not defamation of character to point out the truth. I've known for years that Ken has been liberal with the truth in his videos.... however I let it go because it was more of a tuition channel and I'm sure he does have some good knowledge to communicate. He is also clearly a great singer. But to go out with a live band and basically fake about 75% of it is entirely dishonest in my opinion.
I've seen a few of Tamplin's videos over the years but never followed him closely, so I don't know much about him. What a great analysis. Just hearing the fade-out on that isolated vocal track tells you everything you need to know.
3:50 that was absolutely heartwrenching seeing Fil's face go from "Oh, sick! He's really belting!" to the immediate realization, then disappointment. Watching a genuine smile falter from being let down will never not be heartbreaking :(
Even with his cheating ways he sounds crap. I have never got why people rave about this guy. Again another great video Phil highlighting the cheating music industry.
Well, Bowie never was the greatest singer in the world but he has some iconic music. He's always worked with the voice he had and worked within his vocal capabilities very well (and never tried to fool people, unlike Mr. Tamplin here).
@@jasonbodden8816 I watched David Bowie do a tribute to Freddie Mercury with Annie Lennox and I thought he was f'n great and so did my husband and he's really not a fan of David Bowie. No one could say that was a bad performance.
7:10 I hear that the REAL singing is clearer and the pre-recorded is a wee bit duller. So many evidences that he's deceived his viewers. :( AND FOR MONEY! That is the worst part. He's' using all of these videos to CONVINCE people to buy his singing course. That's just an entirely different level than me using a pitch shifter to sing a cover song as a $0.00-income hobby on my YT channel and even telling people that's how I did most of those high-ranged tunes I did. Glad you are dissecting this even if it is 15 years later!
I listen to a lot of music and can tell when the sound changes from "natural" to not alive enough. These sessions with all your analysis and expertise help me to know how its done. I find that interesting and educational when I recommend music to others.
@@minners71Liars really hate being caught in their lies, so they lash out at the person who pulled the curtain. Nope, he’s no wizard, and he’s no vocal coach, either. He’s just another lying idiot who needs to put down everyone else so that he can feel like he’s the best. Really very pathetic. Somebody get the hook and get him offstage, and quickly!
I just attended the “Outlaw Tour” at Pine Knob in Michigan. John Mellencamp, Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson. These Icons were all absolutely 100% live, complete with mistakes and fumbles. And it was BY FAR the best concert I’ve EVER been too! Phil should definitely feature this tour in his analysis. It will restore one’s faith in live music!!!!
So glad to see you calling this out Fil. Ken is so pretentious with his knowledge; he carries a very “I know more than you and I know I’m better than you” kind of energy that has always rubbed me the wrong way.
Dude! Im definitely NOT a professional. I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing this. Because i did think about getting his videos to try. My name is Mike Keesee. You do great work!
Thanks for exposing Tamplin, Fil. I was sucked into his videos a few years back and thought he was very good. I started to become suspicious after a while, and started making comments under his videos suggesting he may be miming. All my comments were quickly deleted. I remember another vocal coach accusing Tamplin of miming in the first video you showed, Tamplin then threatened him with legal action. I wouldn't have thought lying to his viewers and “students” is a very Christian thing to do. He’s apparently the cousin of Sammy Hagar, and probably has always been envious of Hagers success, and thought this was his way of making a name for himself. What a charlatan. Great work, Phil.
I remember that guy who used to call out Ken, but then Ken sued him for defamation, and his channel was shutdown. Turns out he was telling the truth all along.
HAHAHA He threatened legal action because he can prove he's not doing what this stupid video accuses him of doing. Watch, this idiot is next to be sued for defamation or slander or whichever applies. Hahahaa
This guy’s videos make me feel so much braver about posting FB unedited amateur videos of me singing in my living room. My voice isn’t the best in the world, but at least I’m not lying about it. It’s a question of integrity. A singer who claims to be a Christian and then fakes his vocals is the poster child for hypocrisy. I can’t imagine the emotional dissonance going on in their heads. 😢
Thanks for this. I saw a comment about him under one of your recent videos and had a look at one or two of his cover videos. It seemed to me that he was miming. It's a shame really, as with his 'live' stream, his voice sounded pretty good to me on the 'yeah' thing he actually sung live at the beginning. It had much more life to it than the pre-recorded vocal.
I tried Ken’s voice course (I bought for the entire year) because he seemed like he knew what he was talking about and the results sounded great. Within a month of following the course how Ken recommends and not rushing through it, my natural 3 octave vocal range, huge lung capacity, and ability to project diminished and my voice started to get damaged. I had a classically trained opera singer as my vocal coach in college years before using Ken’s lessons and I had an extremely knowledgeable UF music major grad as my vocal coach years after I took Ken’s lessons and they were phenomenal. I had to disregard everything Ken said and break all the bad habits I picked up because of him or else my singing voice would’ve been permanently damaged. Disclaimer: I used his teaching videos he sells on his website and this disclosure of my negative experience with his product is a review. I’m glad not everyone had my experience but please do your research before buying vocal lessons materials or booking time with a vocal coach.
Wow and Ken charges people to teach them to sing and he judges how other singers sing their songs. He seems to go after Rob Halford from Judas Priest alot, i think he's kind of jealous of Rob. He also goes on how he's a Christian, well being a Christian he shouldn't be lying about his vocal ability and saying he's all live when he's not. Voice teachers should not be lying to people , whether they are Christian or not lying is not a good look and gives him no right to judge anyone else's vocal abilities. If he can't do the high notes anymore then he should just say so. But since he has made a youtube career out of judging others he has to look perfect everytime, sad really
@@chrism2964 That could definitely be part of the reason because in one of his things on how to sing like Rob Halford he says how he did a version of singing Painkiller more in his chest voice because it seemed more manly, and harder to do ,which i'm not using an exact quote there but that was the jist of what he meant. Rob would do vocal gymnastics around him all day and Ken could never come close. Rob is 72 yrs old and he is still killin it and is so humble, while Ken thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread and knows exactly what people need to do to keep their voices. Obviously not if he's voice tracking vocals on the high notes and pretending he's live, it's a sham and nobody should be going to that man for vocal advice. but honestly listen to a couple of Ken's videos on Rob you will see what i am saying, he's very judgy on others as well almost condescending towards them.
I first knew years ago there was something very shady about him. He always has bad things to say about great singers. Because of that I researched him. This was years ago. I got an exact timeline of his career. So I asked him a few questions. He made up an entire history of where, how and what is musical background was. All bs. I called him on it,and he took the time to write me a reply so long rebuffing what I said. If it wasn't true he would have just not replied. I finally got him to admit a few lies. He's pathetic on so many levels . Great work! Finally someone who's qualified, exposed him
I´ve been around for somteimes. Tamplin quite a few years ago had a contorversy with Tristan Paredes, they made reaction videos about each others accusing each other for all sort of things. It ended with Tamplin sued Tristan, they come to some sort of agreement deleting all controversy videos.
Another excellent job! Partial live vocals🤔 Years ago when watching concert videos of Led Zeppelin I was first disappointed at how the great Robert Plant would change some of the higher melody lines. But rethinking it figured hey, they do 3hr shows on tour - not reasonable to push the upper registers so hard so often. And still so musical! Thanks to Fil for hitting that mix of accuracy, honesty and graciousness.
Glad you did this. I don't know if I'm slightly psychic or just able to smell bullshit even thru a youtube-vid, but it was clear to me from the get-go that Tamplin is a fraud. So many warning lights there... but some people just don't want to accept they're being fooled. Not only in the field of singing.
Reminds me of that one episode of Hell's Kitchen with Gordon Ramsey. One of the contestants was a cooking/chef instructor and she didn't know Jack about cooking properly. Ramsey called her out.
This attitude is endemic through every industry. E.g., fitness coaches and influencers virtually all take some kind of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs). Then they go on about how it's all dedication and hard work-oh, and their various programs, supplements, and powders for sale, of course. Sure, they do put effort into their physiques, however it's impossible to get the same results without taking PEDs yourself. FWIW, I don't care as much about what they take; it's about the lack of honesty and integrity. That's the endemic part. And this is only one example. The times they are a changin'.
@spookym123 No, He's digitally altering his own real vocal and then using that prerecorded, digitally altered track and punching it in and out of his live performance. I think.
This is why I'll never understand people who give singers a hard time for not sounding as great as possible live. You have an official recorded version - and you have the live version. Enjoy both - stop wanting to hear live performances as good as a recording - they are supposed to be different!
You're brilliant. Thanks for this. On another note, just saw Christopher Cross band and definitely no vocal nonsense going on. His pitch isn't what it used to be but no one cared. Authentic is always best.
Tamplin is hugely cringey. He did some good stuff back in the 80s with Shout, but nothing overly amazing. He can certainly sing, but the way he acts is like that uncle who thinks he is cool and funny, when really all his nieces and nephews are laughing at him, not with him. Any miming he does just kinda ruins his rep as a vocal coach if he can't do live what he expects those learning from him to do.
I know us introverted folk can be the other extreme, but I do have to say this degree of extraversion and attention-grabbing shown in the clips is making me extremely uncomfortable. It‘s so incredibly too much even by normal standards, I hope. 😅 tl,dr: mad cringe!
Whoa. Even with the speakers of my phones, it’s easy to notice the difference between his live voice, as recorded in the room, and something that looks like is coming out of a speaker in the room.
I am a singing teacher, voice teacher and vocal technique innovator - presenter in voice pedagogy and voice science. One of the problems with some colleagues is that they want to show what and how students should do- while we must be able to provide them tools and training to be and do what they can be and do: and it is not us so it has no sense to showcase us as the end goal. I usually sound pretty dumb when I show the gestures I want from them because it is for them into their instrument and their style and at the level they are in that moment. And please good colleagues: let’s show how our students develop and the phases of true development with pride and cherishing it… we know that there are imperfections that will become great signatures and low pitched that will become perfect in the correct time. Great work this, thank you for forcing the field to be back being honest and transparent ❤❤

He and his singers are always lip-synching. That’s not exactly a revelation. Even though I believe they’re genuinely good singers, is part of the reason why I stopped watching his channel. Plus I bought his program and it really didn’t do anything for me, not that it’s not good, I just find it very hard to navigate.

He is simply shouting with no finesse, but then using a few techniques to try and cover up that he’s simply shouting. It doesn’t make a singer.
Agee. The intense nasality is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
He sings like a plastic mold of what he thinks a real hard rock singer sounds like. He could have been big with an 80's hair metal band. But he probably came off as too weird in the auditions so he never got a chance.
I also don't like it, but he is, technically, on point. Just like (his cousin, he claims), Sammy Hagar. He is "technically impressive", but I hate his sound.

@@danwarb1his channel should not have a point. It should teach vocal. Duh!
@@TheGreekPoet i wouldn't say he's a faker. Sure, he lip-syncs in his "live" performances but we can't deny he has great vocals. He sometimes showcases his vocals in analysis videos or others that aren't his covers and he sounds really great. He has a pretty whiny, nasally voice in his higher register but well, he's a baritone trying to sound like a tenor so no wonder. I'm a baritone also and when I sing high, my larynx goes all the way up and I sound whiny too lol He definitely has chops but he's somehow scared of singing purely live. I don't know, maybe it's due to his age, maybe due to his perfectionism or something.
@@MultiKamil97 I understand your point. And sure, he has voice, can't deny that of course. But really, anyone who lip-syncs is by definition....a faker. Even Michael Jackson, who was obviously a better singer than Ken, lip-synced a lot "live". Just think, to pay to see someone perform only to find out you paid for a recorded performance. A vocal coach should be be setting a better example, IMO. Cheers 🙂
@@TheGreekPoet I can agree with this :)
Thanks for your calm, professional, objective analysis of what is going on with these video clips.
Your work in this area is a valuable service to live music
definitely
@@Desmondbrowne666 Agree, and perhaps we need to start a “Credibility Rating Agency” for live musicians. If they lip sync, then it goes on their “Credibility Report”. Ken would have a lot of negative data on his “Credibility Report” and would have a low “Credibility Score.” 😂
When I first came across his channel..his self-absorbed style rankled me straight away…then I saw him in a segment of various reaction-videos….my negative opinion was fortified. I truly appreciate your contrarian but professional approach in calling out those who should be leading rather than deceiving by example…BRAVO Fil, continue to fight the good fight!
Same for me. He was never very impressed by some of my favorite songs. As if that’s super easy for him lol
He is an arrogant guy for sure.
@@bowldawg1But yet his own material is so difficult that he needs to lip sync the high parts to pull it off in front of an audience. 😊
I'm kind of shocked to see Ken exposed like this. I had no particularly bad feeling about him until recently, when he was sh*tting on Steve Lukather's vocal on Rosanna and laughing a lot about it. Not cool.
@@ericpircher that’s an awesome vocal and that song always brings back the best memories.
Thank you for making this video. The fact that Ken doesn’t sing live in his videos has already been pointed out by others on TH-cam. And yet, he’s still here. The guy is not only a disgrace to all musicians who genuinely share their real knowledge, but some of his advice and techniques are also downright dangerous. I feel sorry for all the students who invest money in his courses
Omg, this seems like such a silly career move. Ken has actually said don’t trust a vocal coach who can’t do it live, and yet here we are
"The proof is in the singing" has suddenly become an ironic slogan.
Popland you're such a pop culture staple between your videos and the fact you're under every pop culture video serving good takes everytime. ❤
i mean to play devil's advocate, i don't think it's so much that he can't do it per se, and more that he doesn't want people to hear any pitchiness. it's like not wanting people to see you with no shirt on at the beach lol
Ken’s singing has always sounded horrendous
@@mathewhutchins2539 he really does have a wonky sound to him lol. like he does have a lot of ''ability'' vocal wise, lots of range n what not, but his tone is just not for me. he's like a studio singer you'd hire to cover like a bunch of 80's rock songs or something
I have watched some of Ken Tamplins videos and he had the audacity to say Stevie Nicks vocals are nowhere near as good as they used to be because she hasn't looked after her voice like he has allegedly. At least she does sing live though. Hypocrite. Well done Fil.
I guess it’s easy to save your voice if you’re lip syncing! 😅
What a fraud.
He also never forgets to mention he can sing for hours without any fatigue.
He said the same thing about Lara Fabian.
I saw her in February. Not only did she sing live for 2 hours, but she brought out her longtime vocal coach to do Leather and Lace, and she still trains with him. For a vocal coach to critique other singers and not sing live on his on videos, not good at all!
Stevie Nicks sounds old now as opposed to sounding young when she was younger.
Im on my 11th WOP video tonight, I can't believe I've slept on this channel all this time. Great vids Fil!
Ken is Ken's biggest fan. The dude's ego is so out of whack that I find it hilarious that you've exposed him to be a fraud. Thank you, Fil for another great video brother!! You actually have a really great singing voice. You should be the one giving lessons or doing live stream vocals.
@@bryanrulz3904 Seriously, right!!
Okay so he mixes it up and uses some help... theres no big expose here, cmon man....He's far from being milli vanilli ... lolz ... im sorry I have to add this.... theres alot of fuckin haters in this comment section. Im wondering if that is Fil's specialty... making others look bad so he can push his channel higher on the algorithm. Being asked to "Expose" a guy that has no effect on your life for no real reason (I mean he isn't taking money from orphanages is he.... or little old ladies) is just lazy. we're all adults and can choose to flip off the switch. Dog-pilling on this particular guy only makes you look like jealous bullies.
@MrMonkeyfarmer1 No, it doesn't. This is a guy who not only in a vocal coach. But also calls actual big name artists out for lip Syncing. And now he's doing it. People pay money to him for his vocal school. He should be more honest about what he's doing. Unless you're Ken.
Have you ever noticed a theme with the ‘students’ Ken has performing…..🤔
Really? This Guy can’t sing compared to Ken. Ken has a voice like David Coverdale and just because of one video where he lip syncs to a vocal track which he laid down which by the way is extremely high does not make him a bad vocals coach.
Wow, Fil, I heard and saw everything you pointed out! What an exceptional analysis video! I am learning to hear what you have been pointing out for many months! What a wonderful teacher you are, Fil! I love learning from you! 💜
He really is The Best!
@@debbier938 Yes, Fil is amazing!
Me, too! 🤘
That was brutal Phil. You produced his Minority Report
I grew up in Australia as a teenager in the mid 70’s 8n Melbourne seeing AC/DC live so many times with the great Bon Scott. He was never pitch perfect live every time he sang, and matched with the amazing music, that was what we loved as teens seeing our first rock band. It wasn’t miming on a tv show, it was real and gritty and sometimes lyrics were forgotten etc. And it was the realness and rawness of the shows that we absolutely loved even though we had the records. We wanted the genuine sound of the band, and that’s what we got every single time and it was brilliant!!!!
I'm Canadian but that said Rose Tattoo are another great Aussie band. Angry Anderson is a legend still going strong to this day.
@@SuperStrik9 I’ve only ever seen them once and they were great, but AC/DC were my first ever rock band that I saw live (and after the first concert we went to every single show of theirs) so they will always be special to me, as is Bon! Glad you like Rose Tattoo. Angry is a small man in real life but he seems so much bigger when he sings.
Today, thousands film every Metallica show and criticize on TH-cam if a note is played wrong.
8:20 if you guys are interested, I have the exact figures on how many people reached out to him to ask him to live stream some of his original music. The number rhymes with hero.
Weirdo ? Schitzo ? Nero......oh no I have Zero chance just guessing. lol
Ouch!
Doesn't even sound original. It's Over the Mountain.
I thought it was Highway to Hell, and he was making a joke.
@@richardclark. not over the mountain, it sounds quite similar to flying high again. I assume thats the song you meant though.

The wildest part is the second I made a video calling him out on lip syncing he had the entire footage deleted from TH-cam ☠️

To be fair TH-cam sometimes does that 4 the wackiest reasons. My 🐇channel had 2 videos taken down due 2 graphics size. He could have done so deliberately..or TH-cam could've messes with it.

I love your video mate, from the USA. Ken reminds me of American televangelist scam artist.
Exactly, lol. Or a Crazy Eddie commercial, remember those?
@@deed.3230 absolutely lol
Good analysis, you can definitely hear the difference between the live vocals and what’s being mimed. This is the first time I’ve heard of this vocal coach, but I really don’t like when people position themselves as educators/coaches/teachers and then are dishonest and deceitful!
Yes money does this....
Anyone that says you don't know or can't read music is totally batty! I found your channel about a month ago. I am the "proverbial person who can't carry a tune in a bucket". I have learned so much from your videos. I have come to realize there's so much more to music, however, I still can't carry a tune in a bucket. Keep going - don't stop! 🎸
Thank you for exposing someone who's not honest with his audience, never gonna search on him again, ever. The proof is in the scamming 😅
Busted!!! Exposing all the frauds. Love it, Fil. Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you. What is disturbing is that he is lying. And he is a vocal coach and he is misstating what he is doing vocally to his students. I have never been much of a fan of Ken Tamplin, and this makes me even less a fan.
NO he isn't. We know exactly what's going on. This is one of his non-teaching videos and he often redoes the visuals to be dorky/ funny and over-the top!! Wake up guys, its like you drop into a party and wonder where are the BOOKS are. Its a party. Look at his other videos for context...and get lives of your own please. This is ridiculous.
Correct it wouldn't be so egregious if he wasn't a vocal COACH. It's pure fraud.
@@stoneneils What up, Ken!
@@moonagedaydream-ohyeah You kids are too sad but i get it..i guess i was the same but in the classroom :) Try learning to sing from his channel then come back in a month and you tell me.
I've also found his courses to be helpful, at least at the very beginning stages of a singing journey. What he's doing here _is_ a bit silly but his general advice is pretty useful and applicable.
I learn something new with every one of your videos. Thank you. I loved seeing Ken’s mouth close as his voice continued to fade out! Priceless.
Emphasis on "Kens mouth closed" lmao 😅😅. But it was hilarious. Ol Ken doesn't realize its a new day..its not 1988 anymore...everything is fact checked
Hi Fil! That was an incredible analysis! I saw and heard what you showed and explained in this video. Why do singers mime or lip sync and not sing naturally? BTW, Congrats on getting 415k subscribers! Rock!
You can clearly hear the reverb and digital delay difference from his "live" portions... 🤘
As a long time fan of Ken and his band Shout... That's definitely the recording of "Living for My Lord" from his 1990 album "An Axe to Grind." I've been listening to it for over 30 years.
@@robertberman6692 I've got the album no sales
Yep. Listened to that CD a ton as a kid and I can't believe he tried to pass off that recording as being live. Wild. What's more amusing is what I guess was supposed to be a warm up to try and establish it as live. crazy.
Someone owns one of his albums??
@@johnnyboy2k quite a few! He made solid hair metal in the late 80s and early 90s. Not an excuse for miming today, obviously.
@robertberman6692 I've been a rock fan since I was little. Been performing live since I was 18 (1992) and I'd never heard of him until TH-cam offered me one of his videos. His ego is off the scale.
I've been friends with Glenn Hughes for a number of years: still killing it at 73 and very humble. Such a difference.
Fil, another excellent video. Had Ken not been doing a live stream on the 2nd song, it would have been a lot more believable. Ken is an embarrassment. Thanks for pointing it out. I know someone asked you to do it, but it's good to see it when it happens and it is definitely cringey. You're going to make us all vocal analysis experts if you're not careful. I'm up for that.
8:34 wait.... he's HOLDING a guitar! Why not just sing it with the guitar and vocal LIVE? Why not just adopt Bill O'Reilly's motto? EFF IT! WE'LL DO IT LIVE! I totally understand the pressure of trying to sing an entire song w/o any mistakes or voice crack or missed pitch but he's literally mimed MOST of his cover tunes, I would claim. Then after singing along to them (which is actually does so there is some effort put into it physically), he'll often go "WHEW! Boy, that was a real workout!" or some such. I mean... it's one thing to mime, another to KEEP PRETENDING after the song is over! Just.... wow.
Good to see you, TruthSurge!
@@rocknrollresignation93 ty

You are right . He’s like to criticize famous singers like Freddie Mercury and Aha . He’s obnoxious

I’ve learned so much from this channel. Thanks, Fil
Honesty is very rare in our world ..........
What?
Thank you. Fact is the comment you make. This is why OUR world and US are suffering. However Honesty is a Force of Nature...hang in there okay.
when ALL the mainstream media lies on a daily basis, its hard to expect the peanut gallery to behave in a dissimilar manner.
we are in a post-truth society and who are you to question someone who identities as a vocal coach or professional singer?
It's such a lonely word
Personally I believe most of TH-cam cover songs are tampered. Guitarists use multiple camera angles, to hide multiple takes in their solos. (Tons of failed attempts are cut out, they may play hard passages 50 times and combine cleanest takes. When the camera angle switches completely, nobody can tell if it's from the same take or not). They may even overdub bad notes, that didn't ring cleanly. Vocalists do miming. Drum covers = quantized hits. Not necessarily all of the hits (leave some small mistakes in to mask it) but would be super easy to tighten it up. Nobody would notice. Or fixing a few hits here and there, in otherwise perfect take. The temptation would be high, to earn that TH-cam $$$
I'm a subscriber and I wanted to know if you've done any videos of Chris Isaac? Your integrity is incredibly powerful and honest. Keep showing us the truth. You're a rare gem of a talent.
He did one, and the production company appears to have pitch corrected Chris’s vocal track.
Fil about to become the hot topic in yet another subreddit this weekend.
Keep doing these videos!!! We love them.....from Brazil
Só nas fofoca dos vocalista aí, né irmão 😂
Now i am happy that not only me suspecting about Ken Tamplin. Now i know that he's not singing live. I sang not perfectly in my channel but i sang 100% live.🤘
There was an Australian vocal coach I used to watch, but his narcissism was off the hook..kind of dissapointing here..
i remember pointing this out on one of his videos like 10 years ago. he deleted the comment back then lol. glad to see others can tell too
Karma.
He did the same to me, Ken is a Hypocritic for sure!
At least he just deleted yours, I got 4 paragraphs of straight up abuse.
Fil, you're the man. There are loads of YT vids now blowing up all referencing W OF P expose on Tamplin. Can, open, worms. Wow. But it has to be exposed. I actually got suckered into buying his dang course a few years back. Thank God it was on special so I dint send hundreds. I feel sorry for anyone who bought his full price course. Keep fighting the good fight brother.
Oh yes! Not watched yet but I've been convinced this guy has been miming almost since he started. Can't wait to hear your opinion
Great video Fil. I find the comments from Ken's fans very enlightening. They don't address any of the clear lip syncing... they just accuse you of being cruel or trying to defame him. It's not defamation of character to point out the truth. I've known for years that Ken has been liberal with the truth in his videos.... however I let it go because it was more of a tuition channel and I'm sure he does have some good knowledge to communicate. He is also clearly a great singer. But to go out with a live band and basically fake about 75% of it is entirely dishonest in my opinion.
Well said 👍
Yes, I don't know why he did the synching. But yes, he's a tremendous singer and his vocal program is worth every penny.
I can't believe he mimed an electric guitar using an acoustic one
Haha
He is that good!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Sheer arrogance on an epic level. He must think we are all mentally challenged.
I've seen a few of Tamplin's videos over the years but never followed him closely, so I don't know much about him. What a great analysis. Just hearing the fade-out on that isolated vocal track tells you everything you need to know.

Even with his cheating ways he sounds crap. I have never got why people rave about this guy. Again another great video Phil highlighting the cheating music industry.
Ken was very dismissive about Bowie's vocal ability. That's when I knew he was full of BS.
How was he dismissive about David Bowie?
I am curious too how or in what videos ? I don't follow Ken so idk
Well, Bowie never was the greatest singer in the world but he has some iconic music. He's always worked with the voice he had and worked within his vocal capabilities very well (and never tried to fool people, unlike Mr. Tamplin here).
I watched him attempt to critique a SoHyang performance and instantly knew he didn't have a clue what he was talking about
@@jasonbodden8816 I watched David Bowie do a tribute to Freddie Mercury with Annie Lennox and I thought he was f'n great and so did my husband and he's really not a fan of David Bowie. No one could say that was a bad performance.
7:10 I hear that the REAL singing is clearer and the pre-recorded is a wee bit duller. So many evidences that he's deceived his viewers. :( AND FOR MONEY! That is the worst part. He's' using all of these videos to CONVINCE people to buy his singing course. That's just an entirely different level than me using a pitch shifter to sing a cover song as a $0.00-income hobby on my YT channel and even telling people that's how I did most of those high-ranged tunes I did. Glad you are dissecting this even if it is 15 years later!

I just attended the “Outlaw Tour” at Pine Knob in Michigan. John Mellencamp, Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson. These Icons were all absolutely 100% live, complete with mistakes and fumbles. And it was BY FAR the best concert I’ve EVER been too! Phil should definitely feature this tour in his analysis. It will restore one’s faith in live music!!!!
So glad to see you calling this out Fil. Ken is so pretentious with his knowledge; he carries a very “I know more than you and I know I’m better than you” kind of energy that has always rubbed me the wrong way.
Dude! Im definitely NOT a professional. I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing this. Because i did think about getting his videos to try. My name is Mike Keesee. You do great work!
Welp, sucks to see it from a musician i admire, but thanks for sharing the truth, Fil!
(And yes, can totally hear the tone changes in those clips.)
Thanks for exposing Tamplin, Fil. I was sucked into his videos a few years back and thought he was very good. I started to become suspicious after a while, and started making comments under his videos suggesting he may be miming. All my comments were quickly deleted. I remember another vocal coach accusing Tamplin of miming in the first video you showed, Tamplin then threatened him with legal action.
I wouldn't have thought lying to his viewers and “students” is a very Christian thing to do. He’s apparently the cousin of Sammy Hagar, and probably has always been envious of Hagers success, and thought this was his way of making a name for himself. What a charlatan.
Great work, Phil.
'Sammy _Hagar_ '
I remember that guy who used to call out Ken, but then Ken sued him for defamation, and his channel was shutdown. Turns out he was telling the truth all along.
@@Durwood71 Yeah, that’s the one. Fortunatly, I found his videos again and he’s still exposing Tamplin, lol. His channel is Marc Ajax.
HAHAHA He threatened legal action because he can prove he's not doing what this stupid video accuses him of doing. Watch, this idiot is next to be sued for defamation or slander or whichever applies. Hahahaa
'The Proof is In The Analysis'
This guy’s videos make me feel so much braver about posting FB unedited amateur videos of me singing in my living room. My voice isn’t the best in the world, but at least I’m not lying about it. It’s a question of integrity. A singer who claims to be a Christian and then fakes his vocals is the poster child for hypocrisy. I can’t imagine the emotional dissonance going on in their heads. 😢
He should go in to televangelism. Perfect fit.
Thanks for this. I saw a comment about him under one of your recent videos and had a look at one or two of his cover videos. It seemed to me that he was miming.
It's a shame really, as with his 'live' stream, his voice sounded pretty good to me on the 'yeah' thing he actually sung live at the beginning. It had much more life to it than the pre-recorded vocal.
I tried Ken’s voice course (I bought for the entire year) because he seemed like he knew what he was talking about and the results sounded great. Within a month of following the course how Ken recommends and not rushing through it, my natural 3 octave vocal range, huge lung capacity, and ability to project diminished and my voice started to get damaged.
I had a classically trained opera singer as my vocal coach in college years before using Ken’s lessons and I had an extremely knowledgeable UF music major grad as my vocal coach years after I took Ken’s lessons and they were phenomenal. I had to disregard everything Ken said and break all the bad habits I picked up because of him or else my singing voice would’ve been permanently damaged.
Disclaimer: I used his teaching videos he sells on his website and this disclosure of my negative experience with his product is a review. I’m glad not everyone had my experience but please do your research before buying vocal lessons materials or booking time with a vocal coach.
Wow and Ken charges people to teach them to sing and he judges how other singers sing their songs. He seems to go after Rob Halford from Judas Priest alot, i think he's kind of jealous of Rob. He also goes on how he's a Christian, well being a Christian he shouldn't be lying about his vocal ability and saying he's all live when he's not. Voice teachers should not be lying to people , whether they are Christian or not lying is not a good look and gives him no right to judge anyone else's vocal abilities. If he can't do the high notes anymore then he should just say so. But since he has made a youtube career out of judging others he has to look perfect everytime, sad really
Well Rob is gay, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
@@chrism2964 I wouldn't place any bets on which team Ken plays for either.
@@chrism2964 That could definitely be part of the reason because in one of his things on how to sing like Rob Halford he says how he did a version of singing Painkiller more in his chest voice because it seemed more manly, and harder to do ,which i'm not using an exact quote there but that was the jist of what he meant. Rob would do vocal gymnastics around him all day and Ken could never come close. Rob is 72 yrs old and he is still killin it and is so humble, while Ken thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread and knows exactly what people need to do to keep their voices. Obviously not if he's voice tracking vocals on the high notes and pretending he's live, it's a sham and nobody should be going to that man for vocal advice. but honestly listen to a couple of Ken's videos on Rob you will see what i am saying, he's very judgy on others as well almost condescending towards them.
And he does say.
"The proof is in the singing." So do it then.
@@bobbycollins6783 Yes he does say that on every video, good catch.
"...and I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for that meddling Fil!"
Glad I didn't have any food or drink in my mouth, otherwise it would have been all over the screen, with your comment.
😂😂😂
I first knew years ago there was something very shady about him.
He always has bad things to say about great singers.
Because of that I researched him.
This was years ago.
I got an exact timeline of his career.
So I asked him a few questions.
He made up an entire history of where, how and what is musical background was.
All bs.
I called him on it,and he took the time to write me a reply so long rebuffing what I said. If it wasn't true he would have just not replied.
I finally got him to admit a few lies.
He's pathetic on so many levels .
Great work! Finally someone who's qualified, exposed him
I´ve been around for somteimes. Tamplin quite a few years ago had a contorversy with Tristan Paredes, they made reaction videos about each others accusing each other for all sort of things. It ended with Tamplin sued Tristan, they come to some sort of agreement deleting all controversy videos.

Partial live vocals🤔 Years ago when watching concert videos of Led Zeppelin I was first disappointed at how the great Robert Plant would change some of the higher melody lines.

Thanks to Fil for hitting that mix of accuracy, honesty and graciousness.
And at least Robert SANG each line and didn't lip sync them.
Thank you everyone. With all the crazy scary stuff going on in the world, this is the kind of low stakes internet drama I needed right now. 😵👏👏👏👏
Glad you did this. I don't know if I'm slightly psychic or just able to smell bullshit even thru a youtube-vid, but it was clear to me from the get-go that Tamplin is a fraud.
So many warning lights there... but some people just don't want to accept they're being fooled. Not only in the field of singing.
"It's easier to fool people - than convince them that they've been fooled." - Mark Twain
The part that really bothers me about this is that he's not simply a performer, but a paid "vocal coach" faking his own vocals...
Reminds me of that one episode of Hell's Kitchen with Gordon Ramsey. One of the contestants was a cooking/chef instructor and she didn't know Jack about cooking properly. Ramsey called her out.
Maybe that is what he teaches as a vocal coach.
So he's faking his own real vocals?
This attitude is endemic through every industry. E.g., fitness coaches and influencers virtually all take some kind of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs). Then they go on about how it's all dedication and hard work-oh, and their various programs, supplements, and powders for sale, of course. Sure, they do put effort into their physiques, however it's impossible to get the same results without taking PEDs yourself.
FWIW, I don't care as much about what they take; it's about the lack of honesty and integrity. That's the endemic part. And this is only one example.
The times they are a changin'.
@spookym123 No, He's digitally altering his own real vocal and then using that prerecorded, digitally altered track and punching it in and out of his live performance. I think.
This is why I'll never understand people who give singers a hard time for not sounding as great as possible live. You have an official recorded version - and you have the live version. Enjoy both - stop wanting to hear live performances as good as a recording - they are supposed to be different!
You're brilliant. Thanks for this.
On another note, just saw Christopher Cross band and definitely no vocal nonsense going on. His pitch isn't what it used to be but no one cared. Authentic is always best.
Tamplin is hugely cringey. He did some good stuff back in the 80s with Shout, but nothing overly amazing. He can certainly sing, but the way he acts is like that uncle who thinks he is cool and funny, when really all his nieces and nephews are laughing at him, not with him.
Any miming he does just kinda ruins his rep as a vocal coach if he can't do live what he expects those learning from him to do.
I know us introverted folk can be the other extreme, but I do have to say this degree of extraversion and attention-grabbing shown in the clips is making me extremely uncomfortable. It‘s so incredibly too much even by normal standards, I hope. 😅
tl,dr: mad cringe!
I had the same suspicion but never had the objectivity to prove it, thank you Phil!
"When the proof is in the miming"
😂👍
Good one 😂😂
"The proof is in the syncing"
Whoa. Even with the speakers of my phones, it’s easy to notice the difference between his live voice, as recorded in the room, and something that looks like is coming out of a speaker in the room.
You can tell he’s miming anyway without you having to prove it , he’s really bad at it😂😂😂Good video 👌
Agreed. That very first segment was obvious. Fil just proves it scientifically.
True
Fil you are my hero, never realized this!
I am a singing teacher, voice teacher and vocal technique innovator - presenter in voice pedagogy and voice science. One of the problems with some colleagues is that they want to show what and how students should do- while we must be able to provide them tools and training to be and do what they can be and do: and it is not us so it has no sense to showcase us as the end goal.
I usually sound pretty dumb when I show the gestures I want from them because it is for them into their instrument and their style and at the level they are in that moment. And please good colleagues: let’s show how our students develop and the phases of true development with pride and cherishing it… we know that there are imperfections that will become great signatures and low pitched that will become perfect in the correct time. Great work this, thank you for forcing the field to be back being honest and transparent ❤❤
After you said he wasnt hitting the strings, i watched and almost fell off my chair!!
Performers are going to start putting a label on their videos: "Available to everyone but Fil".
Underrated.
Except The Who, they’re not doing this garbage
I am a paranormal debunker, and I love that you guys are finding out these scammers in debunking them from taking millions of millions of dollars keep up the good work thank you!
Well, you absolutely nailed him. Amazing analysis, as always.
I have no clue who this person is. But wow, even TEACHERS are doing this? And for so many years?! Thank you for continuing to expose this stuff. It has to stop! Edit: Good grief, even an amateur like me could see this is fake!
This guy is the Steven Seagal of vocal coaches.
Is he also a chef on a US Navy battleship? 😂
This was definitely an easy one for you to bust! Great work as always.
And the truth will set you free!!! Love your show! 👍🙏🙏
What’s ironic is Ken getting a dose of his own medicine.
He and his singers are always lip-synching. That’s not exactly a revelation. Even though I believe they’re genuinely good singers, is part of the reason why I stopped watching his channel. Plus I bought his program and it really didn’t do anything for me, not that it’s not good, I just find it very hard to navigate.
