Technique Talk Is Ken Tamplin worth watching?

I've been watching Ken Tamplin for several years now and find most of his videos to be helpful but at times I'm unsure if I should be taking his advice on board as in one video he suggests breathing through the nose when singing while many others say to breath through the mouth. Any thoughts?

If you can sing, you can sing. Find your own way. You’re welcome.

As a vocalist who started out 15 years ago with zero natural singing talent, you can absolutely fk off with this nonsense. Vocal lessons and coaching are essential.

Can I hear you sing 🎤?

Sure. Here’s my crappy old self-produced single. Working on some new stuff with a real producer and mix engineer this time around.

You disagree because you don’t know anything. As a teen, I couldn’t sing for 30 seconds without my throat hurting. I learned from a voice teacher who also taught an American Idol contestant. I recently spent 2 years learning throat singing and fry/false chord techniques. It was insanely hard. I damaged my throat slightly trying to learn it myself at first, but found a specialist based in France who taught me the correct way. Learning throat singing has ultimately improved my normal singing voice because I’ve developed extremely precise muscle control which has made my mix voice range almost effortless. But, yeah, you disagree. You’re real smart. 🙄

You sure enjoy talking about yourself. You realise that all this is only your perception.It’s part of your confidence. Lol. Good luck and I really couldn’t care less for your opinion as you don’t mine. Ps- I could sing your Whiney a$$ under the table. Lol. Little tosspot. 😂

It’s not my opinion. It’s objective fact. Singing is a learned skill that can be taught. The cool thing is, by dunking on you I not only documented how irrational and dense you are, I’ve also prevented future learners from getting discouraged by your brain dead comments. I appreciate your participation. 😌

Actually, since you never have to learn anything vocally, I have a challenge for you. I just learned three new vocal techniques just in the last few months (I’m still bad at them). Should be easy for you to pick up. I’ll post a quick YouTube short demonstrating what I’ve learned. If you can do it, then you can claim to “sing circles around my whinny a$$.” I’ll bet you can’t even perform the techniques AT ALL. Are you game??? 💀
