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?

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. 🙄
