Hello Ken Tamplin
I've been singing for 7 months now and improved a lot from when i've been from watching your free videos on youtube (because I can't afford yet your course).
I just have one question.
My vocal range is from D2 to F5 but I can reach B5 too (after your lessons). Can I improve it more and why I can't hold a high note longer ?
I hope you understand what I want and thanks a lot for your free tips.

So if I am not bothering your time I just want to ask you one more thing. When I hit B5 I can't hold for long that note. That should be my limit right ?
So in answer to your question, B5 is probably your current limit, but it may increase over time.
Cheers,
Phillip
Apparently the only people in my F2 - E5 range is frikking Barry White???
By the end of 2018, my goal is to be able to hit A5... not own it, but just hit it cleanly. That'll make my E5 (and above) far more controlled
I only know this because it's been one of my target songs from the beginning of this course.
Looking further into it I noticed that Plants average high is only a G5, and those would be his trademark screams/wailing
Peace, Tony
I can get quite low, but it really isn't "singing" it's more just speaking, or sustaining a slow deep note, anyway I can comfortably go from a C#1 to G4.
I know I can hit higher notes, and maybe even lower, but not comfortably.
I would be interested to see what others have for vocal ranges.
Peace, Tony
@videoace are you out an octave? maybe you mean C#2-G5? G4 seems a little low for your highest notes?
I won't rest till I can cleanly hit A5, which should give me very good control anything a full step below.
As long as I am singing though, I'll always be pushing for the next note.
My vocal heroes who are around and about A5 top range
(or as recorded anyway):
- Ray Gillen
- Paul Rogers
- Lou Gramm
- Layne Staley
- Jeff Scott Soto
- Ian Thornley
- Geoff Tate
- Robert Mason
- Chris Cornell
@videoace E5 is even pretty high for a guy... I can usually hit it in passing, but that is about it...
A5 is acually 5 half-steps above that! (5 chromatic notes)
For you to hit E5 that would be 9 half-steps... (14 half steps to hit A5!)
That's allot of work, but not impossible.
I am figuring that I am realistically going to gain a full step in head voice (that can be mixed with chest) per year, so in 2 years I should be approaching, or hopefully at A5.
I may be wrong, but I have a feeling that that once you plateau at your "splat-ceiling", the gains slow down and are more hard-won. However, if I suddenly wake up this summer with a usable 2-step increase, I'll be over the moon!

Peace, Tony
And we'll never know how close we might have been if we give up
