Hey guys, welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the proof continues to be in the singing! We get a lot of different requests for a lot of different things. This one actually comes to us from Lily from Michigan.
Lily writes “hey Ken, I like most everything that you do, but I don’t want to sound like anyone else, I want to sound like me!” Well, I don’t want you to sound like anyone else, either, and I want to sound like me, too! But I think it’s important to remember that those that have gone before us that have set a bar or a standard or a level really high, if we can get to that level or to that standard, it doesn’t matter if it’s in sports, it doesn’t matter if it’s in singing… Whatever your discipline is, if we can incorporate that in our toolbox, or our arsenal, in this case for great singing, then it gives us much more diversity and a lot more flexibility with our voice. So, with that said, I decided to take on one of the highest used karaoke tracks of all time, which is none other than Neil Diamond, and the song is called Sweet Caroline. So we’ll do it first, and we'll talk about it after like we always do. Let’s rock! All right! So Neil wasn’t a technically perfect singer, that’s not what he was about. He was about an incredible story, an incredible songwriter. And, you know, actually, he and I share a lot of very similar vocal tambre, so “When it began, I can’t begin to know when. But that I know it’s growin’ strong.” Right? He’s got this nice, low resonance to his sound. That’s actually why, too, guys, when I do all this high singing stuff, it’s hard for me to do that stuff. This is way more in my genre, in fact if you go back and listen to the original of this, see how I did. But anyway, I’m going to post the solo, raw vocal version of this, isolated vocal version of this so you can kind of pick it apart, and just listen to it and A/B it to the original. So thanks for joining me. Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the proof is in the singing. If you like what you heard, please like and subscribe. And stop by at my singers forums. I’ve got now 11,000 people in there, and we just hit the over 40 million mark on my YouTube channel, which is super awesome. Thank you guys, so much for that. Anyway, let’s continue to rock, and check out the solo vocal version now. Peace. Out.
