  • How To Sing - Karen Carpenter Rainy Days And Mondays - Sara Loera cover - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
    Karen Carpenter has been hailed as one of the greatest emotive pop singers of all time.
    Her lush rich voice, combined with excellent pitch, control and story telling has earned her this spot.
    So Sara and I decided to take up the challenge! (of course because that's what we do here at KTVA! 

    Beautifully done! Sara didn't try to rip-off Karen Carpenter, but made the song her own without destroying the feeling of the song itself.

    This beautiful rendition of that song, is magnificent. What most people do not know is that, what made Karen Carpenter so unique, was her ability to sing to such a great and perfect measure, while playing the drums. Really truly Amazing voice and control. Excellent rendition of such great song, Sara Loera!

    I wish the rest of the Internet was more like this. I am not sure if anyone else has read all the comments. I have and NOT ONE negative comment. How rare is that? We are all in agreement. Believe me I read a lot of comments on a lot of videos and it is very rare to find ALL positive comments. Tim Berners Lee would say it was the intention behind the Internet but underestimated people's propensity to row but none of that here. Sara should be very proud as that is an achievement in itself. Hip hip............

    • @kentamplin
      @kentamplin  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      ...Hooray! It's kind of refreshing to be somewhere where trolls are not the norm. There are enough pity parties going on where seldom is heard an encouraging word. Sara has done a great job on this song. We're here to help people sing better, if they want to learn. That's all. If that's what people want, please keep coming and hang around. We're glad you're here. :-)

    • @heftyalan1152
      @heftyalan1152 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I completely agree. Pity parties, I like it and may well use it in future. Definitely. You know the saying sounds nothing like the record live. I believe this would be a mirror image with no production polish required. That is a good ethos. I am tone so come here to appreciate those with talent in this area. I have played every instrument live at one point or other but vocals only once and that was enough for the audience too. I made John Lydon look like he had range :) . Thank you for the positive comments, most kind. Many here with an impressive knowledge that I appreciate as helps me to understand more.

    • @heftyalan1152
      @heftyalan1152 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @heftyalan1152
      @heftyalan1152 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @kentamplin
      @kentamplin  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Evidently he took his own post down to "prove" that I deleted it. Yoo-Hoo! teodoler! Where is your post saying I will delete your post? Or it made him look wrong for it to still be there?

    Sara, Ken, As you can tell over all the days that I been hearing SARA! The song of Karen Carpenter, the more I listen to hear SARA sing the song! It changes in my mind, to where it changes to SARA's song!!!!! It still is Karen's song it's hers!!!! But a new release of the song to honor the work (That the Carpenters) did will always be! But now a new release will become SARA LOERA's News song!!!! I would love to it out for play at RADIO STATIONS all over!!!!!!!! Casper.

    Karen Carpenter was one of my faves, and really underrated as a vocalist. Unique tone and phrasing. Sara does a great job on this, her voice is so versatile. A little sibilance on the recording in spots, but that's tough to avoid without a filter at that range. Great job overall.

    • @kentamplin
      @kentamplin  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree, Sara did a great job on the song.

    • @tuberaxx
      @tuberaxx 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don’t think Karen Carpenter was underrated as a vocalist. John Lennon and Frank Sinatra both thought she was the greatest female singer. She was underrated as a drummer, though.

    lovely version,, everyone's voice is so unique.....Karen used resonance not push and her voice seemed "big"on belt notes but she wasn't even pushing .,,, it was total resonance....which I feel is a genetic gift,, not from vocal lessons....she didn't even warm up...everyone's voice is so unique...one thing I heard is that she knew how to work the mic and make it very intimate....while she whispered her vocal right into the mic and they came out so sweet , deep, rich and sometimes powerful through that whisper...Richard really understood how to produce it.

      Mythlos Mine too as that is how I know who she is as died decades ago I believe. There is a London vocalist with a very similar tone to Karen Carpenter too but name escapes me as I do not follow much contemporary music. Edited to say it is Rumer. For me she has one of the best female vocals and yes that includes Adele.

    When I was much younger, the Carpenters was one of my favorite groups. There was something about Karen Carpenter's singing that could make a day seem okay. I was able to see them in person and it added to the enjoyment when I later heard her songs played. Karen's voice was unique and their music special.
    You have captured the spirit of this song while making it your own interpretation and not trying to copy Karen. For that reason, this is the best I have heard since the original. You've taken me back to the emotions and enjoyment of that time years ago. Thank you.

      Wow!!!! She's got the low range and the hint of buttery smokiness.
      Yes, this is absolutely flawless.
      If you guys want requests the only thing I can think of right now are my other 3 favorite Carpenters songs (can't choose one), which are "Superstar", "We've Only Just Begun" - or "Top of the World" (which has a really low note in it).
      I'll try to think of some other singers that she'd be perfect to cover too...
      Do you get better sound quality by not using a pop filter?

I've made it a new hobby to consistently watch Sara and Gabriela's music videos and recordings for female vocal inspiration. I'm learning stuff about singing that I never knew existed like how to sing different genres of music and change your voice accordingly. I thought people could only sing 1 or 2 genres of music. This is unheard of- for me. Ken, seriously, this opens up a whole other world for my mind that you teach your students such cool tricks.

      Sara has made singing a priority in her life, and has learned well. She has learned to control many aspects of her voice, and has the ability to sing many styles.

      Brina Marie: if you play a musical instrument ones thing you can do to improve on your note and tone quality is match your voice to the notes you're playing. For instance...I play guitar. I'll play and sing one song in one octave level and then change songs and play a different octave and match my voice to that average octave. When you do this listen very closely with your ears and your heart to the tune. Open your mind to the octave and try to hit the highest or lowest notes in that song but really pay attention to WHERE your voice is in that general range. For most it takes a lot of practice to hit certain notes and then do another song immediately afterwards do a different one in a different note and octave. Mariah Carey, Ronnie Milsap, Celine Dion, and others have a natural ability that allows them to hit them from one note in a song directly to another one in the same song. Not everyone has that ability. Some can learn it with practice but not all. So if you try as hard as you can and you just can't get that one note you want don't get discouraged cuz it truly is a gift that certain people have. Before my accident I could hit every high note that Martina McBride could hit (and I'm a guy too by the way) and the lowest notes that I've heard Elvis hit. Yes it took a lot of practice but I knew I had that gift, that ability because I've always just sung everything since I was a kid and done exactly what I suggested you do. After the crash I can't hold a note nor can I breathe deeply enough to hold a certain tune as long as the pros. But those things happen sometimes in life. Practice listening to WHERE your voice is...how high you can go without straining it and then how low. Learn what those particular notes are and write them down so you have a reference to work from. Then try to increase in height and on the lowest notes as you go. But always pay attention to HOW you sing when you're ready to do a song seriously and sing from the heart. That'll get you started. Hope that helps you some.😊

    Sara your so in the song here. What a pleasure to listen to.
    I've been on this course close to three years. Best investment I ever made.
    I now only have 7 Saturdays left in the year where I'm not booked. This is a huge milestone for me.
    Thanks KTVA.
    And no, I wasn't asked or paid to give my opinion.

    Being very open minded about music (e.a. styles, instruments etc.)
    I can listen to anything, and I simply love this! I love how your students evolve and discover themselves, how they gain in confidence and passion. I love every bit of your work and admire your devotion to it. As soon as I can get the money i'm definitely signing up!
    Now as a suggestion for a cover: The Sound of Silence as a male and female duet performance would be great. I personally would go for a mix between the original and the Newer cover by Disturbed (Male singing the disturbed version and female vocalist the original but a pitch higher) of course the tempo has to be adjusted but this would seriously be epic.
    Sorry this was way too long! Keep doing what you are doing! Love

I would love to hear her sing Ofra Haza's Im Nin'alu, Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill, Quincy Jones' "Ms. Celie's Blues" (Sister) from The Color Purple, Anna Belén's Como la vida misma or Derroche, Amanda Marshall's Believe In You or Beautiful Goodbye.
