[voltaspeeder]

Probably the first girl singer who actually was GREAT on this track! Amazing job from the Ken and her! :)

[deadmous]

One of the most talented female singer I ever heard. You've a really bad ass voice girl!

[kentamplin]

She is deadly serious. A TRUE rocker at heart!!!

[MetalMistress]

Gabriela's singing on this is just amazing. I keep listening to this over and over.

[pame]

WOW!!!!HER VOICE IS SO AMAZING AND POWERFUL !!!!

[HFXmermaid]

I love it in this key for female singers. I can just barely do it in the original, but putting it up like that really made a difference for me. great work!

[kentamplin]

Actually I think Dave is an exceptional song writer and great musician. I say that about very few people. This was Gabriela's choice to do the song (not mine). I just want her to be able to do it with power, range and safely :-)

Listening to Dave Grohl in his actual recording session is reveiling how the track is modified before pubic consumpion...Ken you not only moved it up a step...Dave does his an OCTIVE lower in most of this live events and this recording session...not be belittle Grohl but to show how amazing Gabriela's non modified take in on this session!  Listening how Gabriela's developed viewing her performances in her Czech homeland is amazing...she is drivin and getting better.  This take is SO GOOD I have been drawn to it for months...good job Ken and Gabriela!

The quality of her voice shines through when she switches from the full on vocals to the softer tone in a blink of an eye.

Gabčo tak tohle je fantastické, ta energie, ty emoce, navíc úžasná barva bylas vždycky vynikající, ale toto je super, držím ti palce.

Mr. Ken, this girl is so good that now I'm waiting for a "How to sing like Gabriela Gunčíková" video! hahaha Greetings from this brazilian christian fan of you.

[kentamplin]

Suppoert is from the abdomen. Compression is in the lung, base of the neck and the ultimately the glottis.

Is There Really Such Thing As "Stress Free Singing"?

I see many vocal coaches (and their students) promoting the idea that "there should be no stress while singing" and therefore frustrating the heck out of singers who think there is "something wrong with themselves" because they can't, over night,  achieve this "stress free" singing.
(this also gives a vocal coach "tribal knowledge" to keep you coming back to them as if they are the only one who has the answer to this elusive concept)

This is nonsense and here's why:

Singing is like a sport. And with any sport, it's not the absence of stress, it's the management of stress that makes a great athlete.  

Think of it like this:

When Lionel Messi is going to goal, do you think his body is "stressed?"
(Anyone who says it isn't has never played a sport before).

But Lionel has learned the art of training his body and mind for that moment when it's time for him to step on the gas, take on 3 players and score what "looks" like an "effortless goal."

But you can be assured, it was not done "without effort" or without "stress."

Lionel achieved this through training his technical abilities as well as building stamina and muscle memory to achieve this consistency.

Now it is true that some styles of singing require less stamina than others and therefore can be accomplished with less strength training.

In other words, singing a light pop song requires very little "strength" in the sound whereas singing a heavy rock song often requires incredible strength and stamina.

This is also true for those (like myself) that want to push their "limits" and abilities to be all they can be. This of course requires more "effort" and technical training.

With that said, there are many stages to building this "stamina" and it's OK to "find yourself" as one first starts with "damaging street singing" (with total stress) and going through the different stages of learning how to manage this stress away from the voice through correct training.

If I didn't show the different stages of this process, and only showed "perfection", people would never learn that these people are all human, having to work on their craft just like yourself.

Ken, have you ever thought of putting these sessions together for an album? I keep coming back to this version, over and over! Gabriela's voice is utterly inspiring!

[amwartwork]

This girls voice nearly blew me off my chair!!! I love girls who can sing with Massive fire and intense projection and keep the key and go on a creative wonder!!! really enjoyed listening to this!!!!

This is truly amazing singing my voice teacher has all of the Ken tamplin learning courses and he is teaching me same way. In just 3 weeks I can't believe how far I've come. I truly love it.
