The issue is that artists should be upfront about the fact that they are using technology to improve their vocals, not using the training that he sells.
I agree with that part of it Mike. Honesty is the right policy. It just seems like the internet is piling on Tamp-Dogg, and he's an easy target now. And so my brother and I thought we should put a defense out!: )
The reason why people keep bashing Ken is because he refuses to admit what was proven, that he was lip syncing the higher notes during his recent concert. Because he refuses to admit it, people have found other things to criticize him about, such as also lip syncing during his TH-cam videos, deleting every negative comment on his videos, and there is also proof that he has paid to increase the number of subscribers to his channel. If he had just admitted that he was lip syncing parts of the concert, then the attacks would most likely have stopped. But Ken doesn't want to admit it because his motto is "The proof is in the singing," so he can't admit it without looking like a huge hypocrite. It seems pretty obvious that his singing style puts a lot of strain on his vocal chords and he can't reach those high notes consistently, especially during a full concert. I'm sure that his singing during his videos has been recorded in different parts because he can't reach all of those high notes during a single take. Perhaps he was able to do that 30 years ago, but not anymore. By the way, the guy on the right was wearing a nice shirt.
Pretty sweet habs shirt right… I have not been a following KT closely enough to know about the live stuff he does…..I realize guys like steve Perry will never be running tape but perhaps tampdog does…..it’ll be interesting to see how he addresses it because there seems to be a growing movement on TH-cam calling him out!
@@lancewendlandt3384 The Wings of Pegasus channel already proved that he was lip syncing the higher notes during his recent concert and that he lip syncs in his TH-cam videos. I don't expect Ken to change his tune (pun intended) regarding his denials, unless his business gets so badly affected by this that he has no choice but to take a different approach.
Canadians! Montreal, I think what you are saying makes a lot of sense. Most people (me), prefer a more humble approach. If you need to run tape of use Melodyne, then own up to it. I can say we definitely do, and if you listed to the song I posted in the description, that is lip synched (poorly )and we use Melodyne.
@@montrealsports29 I assume he is running it through Melodyne and then all the other "standard" studio stuff we see in his background-but I could be wrong on that of course.
There is nothing wrong with saying that "as I age I have to rely on technology to provide a couple of the things that I used to do easily in my youth". Honest individuals will give you far more fan points for your honesty than you will lose to cretins who think that you are less of a performer because of the natural progression of the aging process. There is much wrong with lying about it and saying that the video did not contain vocal content that was taken from older recordings. It makes you appear dishonest. Magicians are not criticized for dishonesty because we agree to suspend our expectations of honesty and a lot of the fun of watching magic is trying to spot the dishonesty.. Musicians are not expected to be dishonest because if detecting the fakery becomes part of the experience, it seriously detracts from immersing yourself in the music.. There are times when it is reasonable for technological assists to be used (such as an aging vocalist or a massive concert extravaganza involving continuous physical exertion, etc.), and when used it is important to be up front about it. Everyone can relax and get on with enjoying the music.
Contrary to popular belief, the voice should not lose range/power with age. If you are singing with healthy vocal technique, there is no reason your voice should deteriorate. It may change as collagen builds up and alters your physiology, but vocal damage/strain is what leads to difficulty. The fact that he has to lip synch at all while healthy proves he knows jack shit. Some people are born with more access to the CT muscles so they can get really high pitched, powerful screams. Without proper technique though, our natural biological instinct to close up our throats/strain will inevitably cause nodules and other issues. If you really want to learn proper vocal pedagogy, look into opera singers. They have to cut through classical operas without a mic for hours sometimes. It’s possible to sustain your voice if you do it properly.
Prefaced the video with we're not fans or students of this person. Spend the rest of the video glazing the guy, talking about how you were actually his students, and making silly excuses for his behavior. What is this video!? 🤣 🤣

Ken Tamperin’ ( with his voice)
I laughed when I read your comment detroit! Thank you for taking time to listen to our content.
@ Great video guys. Go Canadiens! Bring back Pierre Mondou!!!
2 things
1) I meant to say that monitoring was way better when we were all analog so your kinda forced to melodyne
2). “Leave Britany alone”.

Good points Philip. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

Don’t worry Lance, if you say something wrong you can just insist it was Kelly 👯
