COLLAB DEMO: Ken & Doc - Do your "LAH-AH"

Divas, Dudes,

after 3 days on the Starter Exercises of Volume 1 I knew I was great. So I thought it would be a great idea to contact the only one singer who would be worth to do a collaborative demo with: Ken.

I sent him E-Mails, called him on the phone, left messages on his answering machine, sent smoke clouds, sent him letters, used the bush drums and wrote post after post in his forums. He didn't answer. I thought: "Well, this guy seems to be VERY busy."

Then, my buddy Shane ( @HuduVudu ) had a great idea. He told me that I should ask Kens alter ego (Youtube-Ken). And guess what? - Youtube-Ken immediately answered and agreed to do a collaborative demo. Here it is:

    @doc_ramadani & @Youtube-Ken, LOL, best collab so far (sorry everyone else). the only bad thing about it is that it does not come with a music video. are you prepared for the copyright war though?!

    OMG that is awesome!!!

    @doc_ramadani you are the next Weird Al Yankovic, for sure man.

    @YouTube-Ken you sounded a little airy in your chest to me. I think a little support in your mix voice would be in order. Also your diaphragmatic tongue support wasn't quite right I think that is covered in Volume 11. You might want to go back and check out those videos. Also one other thing, your Cb4 was a little sharp, maybe you could fix that using the overtone exercises that are in Volume 1-7.

    And, to @all, I was quite surprised how good Youtube-Ken was on pitch. He seems to be as good as his alter ego.
  • Hahaha! @doc_ramadani You are so creative! I loved this.

    Hi George,

    glad you liked it.

    It was funny. I was driving in my car, bringing my eldest to school and suddenly this song was on the radio. It was a great hit in Germany. And then I heard this ... AAH - AH - AH - AHH! And then it was there within seconds. I had Ken in my mind and it was very easy to put the lyrics together.

    And, man, I had so much fun when I found out that Ken was perfectly on pitch in a lot of his videos.

    And ... I have another idea with my buddy Youtube-Ken. I hope he will agree again to do a cool collab.

    :D

    It had a similar feel to "Paul Hardcastle - 19" if you know what I mean :)

    This is great, Doc! That's a very "catchy" tune btw! Sounds like y'all are having way too much fun, if there is such a thing. Also very creative of you to put together this duo! I can tell that YouTube Ken worked very hard on this!😉🎶🌽🎶🎤 Well, I liked this video very much. And I would like to hear more of your creations. Do you think you got it in you? I'm impressed.

    Not only you both did a fantastic job, but also what a great way to demonstrate why we do the lah-ha exercice :)
    Again your very unique sense of humour made me fall off my chair, you are just toomuch :)

    Thanks for that collab guys
    Love from Canada

    Wow! @doc_ramadani This is so creative, Marco. I am impressed. It is a good thing YouTube Ken was able to pull his weight.

    Now I have this song going through my head. LOL!

    You better do you lah, every day. You better do your lah, in two ways.

    Hi @Jolovelibra, Hi @NathJ_2018, Hi @Mysti,

    thanks for the kind words. I hope could laugh A LOT. This was really fun to do. And believe me, there's a lot to come. Hopefully you will be able to see @victortang with a blonde wig, soon. :tongue:

    give yourself a try. The weekly assignments are really great. You do not have to post a video. It is also okay to post an audio demo (i.e. soundcloud). You will learn a lot form the assignments - and will have a lot of fun.

    Wow. I quite impressed! I don't know about anyone else, but to me your vocal timbre sounds pretty similar to the lead singer of Green Day. I don't know if anyone feels the same.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUTGr5t3MoY

    Perhaps you should cover some Green Day songs. I bet you would nail it!

    I did I did.... I posted an assignentT!....... (in the voice of tweetie bird.....) but I did....brace yourselves, I aint responsible for ear bleeds.....
  • Klaus_TKlaus_T Moderator, 2.0 PRO Posts: 2,492
    @zowman I happen to know that @doc_ramadani has another collab coming up, which will be a song from that same era of punk that Green Day are from, so stay tuned :smiley:

    Hello @zowman,

    that's a big compliment for me. Never ever before I was named in the same sentence with Billie Joe Armstrong. To be honest, 8 months ago I was not able to sing one single note on pitch.

    I never thought I would be able to sing something like this until I started Ken's course. After several weeks there was a point where I thought that I might really be able to sing some tunes. But I never thought that someone could like my voice. I always thought that I sound croaky.

    Your nice comment means a lot to me. And probably I will give this song a try. I love it - I adore the video. And I would like to ask @Klaus_T to join for the background vocals. And for the video I could again wear the green contact lenses I bought for @victortang 's devil woman. :smile:

    Thanks for your kind words.

    Doc
  • Klaus_TKlaus_T Moderator, 2.0 PRO Posts: 2,492
    @doc_ramadani yeah sure, that would be great! this song was basically my gateway for punk. I was 14 when it came out so you can imagine the rest! ;)

    @doc_ramadani Great work! It's just amazing how all of Ken's sung notes from the tutorials really are in a key that fits to the song! I think this should become something like an official KTVA Anthem :smiley:
