Facts. I'm here again lol

[@antivanti]

In the teatime interview Elizabeth (The Charismatic Voice) did with Tatiana she said she was inspired after a friend played a song by Otep (Otep Shamaya) which opened her eyes to the fact that women can do harsh vocals. And then she basically started going to the edge of her village where she wouldn't disturb anyone and started screaming and kept experimenting until she found a way that sounded good and didn't hurt. Btw you should check out Otep some time. She was an early pioneer

[@catherinetodd5163]

True that was a good interview, but so far Lolli Wren( The Fairy Voice Mother) is the only one who figured it out first and even demonstrated it. False vocal folds. Vocal folds aren’t even engaged iirc I thought both of them gave the best analysis.

[@MJR_heyfunny]

Also Tati said her own growl she was trying to sound a lot like Randy Blythe's growl as she was a Lamb of God fan as well. And otep oh man I love otep saw them live in late-2000s at a Dethlok concert if you can believe that. It was in St Louis. Only trouble was the part where I was from in Iowa was flooding at the time my buddies and I could barely get out of the city.

Karen Crisis pre-dates Otep. She never gets enough recognition.

[@jasonmarlowe76]

My 19 year old neice, who's been singing since about age 3-4, just figured out about 6 months ago that she can scream like that and control it, go back and forth between clean and gutteral, without damaging her voice at all. Some people just have a knack for it.

*_The Fairy Voice mother_* has done a really good break down of how Tati achieves her growl, and does a decent mimic of it.

[@coder4liberty]

When Tatiana was young she heard other singers doing the technique and wanted to do it. It is actually quite remarkable that she learned it by ear the right way because many people don't. No guidance she just practiced. At one point she felt like she sounded too much like a woman doing it and doubled down to learn more of how the guys did it. Obviously she succeeded. 15 years later she's still doing it.

[@just-dead-tissue]

That is exactly how most people learn how to do it. Do you think the singer of Possessed or the singer of Death went to a vocal coach to learn how to scream or do guttural vocals?

Nice reaction. That belt you were seeking from the first video, that doesn't happen at the concert, I think she said she was afraid she'd screw it up or such, and that's a shame, knowing you know she can pull it off. The 'Perennial' from the same concert you saw here at Wacken was really good, she sings beautifully in that one, also you might want to check 'Judgement and punishment' - One take vocal performance, a great display of how crazy powerful yet controlled she gets with her voice.

As always, the expression-at-first-recognition was and will-always-be : Priceless. Thank you, friend of Charlie's**, for participating in his 3rd grade science project ("What is the maximal opening of the human jaw"). I've started doing some harsh vocals myself, putting an over-caffeinated 66 year old vocal tract to the test. To me, it is very relaxing and gives me a new context to re-learn aspects of head/neck anatomy (an essential pre-requisite to what I used to teach at the dental school- Care of Medically Compromised Patients). It has also helped me gain more control over that pesky 'raise-the-larynx' problem I have when I test the boundaries of my 'normal-singing' voice. Your guest asked 'How do you know you can do this?' as a vocalist?"

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Yo Randall, this is awesome. I love your story of being a harsh vocal “hobbyist” I think there is seriously something to this. When I mess around with some harsh vocalism (though it doesn’t help when I have to sing Mozart operas 🤪) there is something amazing about reconteztualizing the voice as an instrument even more so in that sense. I am ALSO so bad with names, I get where you’re coming from haha. Keep on Harumpfing!

[@Loki_Firegod]

When I first started singing harsh vocals, I didn't know how to and tried a few methods that felt natural to me, but it didn't work too well. That was, (pause to realise I'm getting old) about 16 or 17 years ago I think. Back then I found a video of Angela Gossow (back then singer of Arch Enemy, I recommend you listen to their song "Dead Eyes See no future", "Nemesis" or so - you'll find live versions from the "Tyrants of the Rising Sun" tour in Japan. In the video, she was coaching people how to do harsh vocals, and her hint (which worked well for me) was imagining you get back to your car (from the shops or whatever) and you just see someone breaking into your car and driving away. The moment in which you just scream "HEY!!!" without thinking is what you should try and replicate for your singing. Although to be precise, she describes growling, which is mostly used in Death Metal and genres closely related to it. Wil Ramos (the guy from the Charismatic Voice experiment, and singer for Lorna Shore) mainly uses screams in various iterations, which is a different technique. Then there's also throat singing, and there are Black Metal Screams (or shrieks). All of them use the false cords (mainly, although the proper vocal cords can be used to add melody) but all in a different way. And if you want to be blown away by vocal range (with harsh vocals), you should look at Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth, there are a bunch of songs that are good - I'd recommend "Her ghost in the fog" because it is well-known and commonly seen as one of their best). Anyway, what I wanted to get at is, within the metal community, there have been ressources and training for how to sing harsh vocals safely. Not everybody follows these, although most singers that do it for a while find a style or technique that is sustainable and doesn't do lasting damage. Some do experience some short term (a few hours, and drinking much liquid helps) straining or hoarseness in the voice though, which makes her effortless switch from harsh back to clean impressive even to people who can sing like that :D

[@KarlSchumacher-kn5ym]

As always, very sweet reaction. Here some fun facts - [how do you know you can do this?] Well, when she was a teen, a friend made her listen to growls (Opeth or Oteph, never remember), and after reveils her that it was a female that was doing the growls. For Tatiana, it was a crush. She wanted to do it. At first, it was nothing, but she never stop trying, shouting in her pillows, at cars on the streets.. and after years, her growls and screem evolve to what it is now, and still changing. - [She never follows vocal course] Only exception, one course when she was 8 years old. Also, she never practice prior to a show, record studio, etc. Her only trick : she sing all day long, every kind of music. - [The belt in Pisces was not in the live performance] As you said, she alternate between styles (clean and harsh; she called it extreme vocals), but not for this special belt in Pisces. In the studio album, they mixed the two styles together, so she simply choose to continue with the harsh vocals. But there is another reason. She said she is afraid to do it, that it can mess her vocals chords. So, even her has some limits. But if you are curious to listen to her most extrem live performance, and of course if you did not already react to it, try "Pit of conciousness live at kiev". By the way, I still wait to "The charismatic voice" to react to it. She even did a great interview with Tatiana (Tea and Coffee interview), but still never react to her most extreme performance. So if you are in link with her, give her this tip. - [They are touring non stop] I saw them live last year, at Montreal, and they were here just weeks ago, and there is a reason for this. As you know, there is a war in Ukraine.. and young men have to fight. When the war start, the band members was in Ukraine (probably Tatiana in California then). So, they should have to fight, right? Well, the governement stated the band is an ambasador of the country and allow them to tour, else then fight. So.. they have to tour. There are possibly nuances to add to what I wrote, but it was my understanding at the time, because I was affraid they died at war. And I can tell you they give a hell of a show. I wasn't sure what to expected because in the earlier years of the band, she was jumping everywhere, but was much calmer before the pandemic, mostly walking (the Australian show at Melbourn I think). The voice was there, but less show and she told she was tired of jumping everywhere. So when I saw them, and the first part band was really good, I was a bit affraid they do not do better. I was so wrong. The band, but mostly Tatiana, was just fantastic. She has just such a stage presence, and of course the voice!

Someone might have already commented something similar to this but she's using false cord vocals for the lower screams and then when she goes what sounds like a higher pitch she is using vocal fry for the most part.

[@mayadog2497]

I studied with Tibetan Monks whose prayers and chants are done using the same vocal folds. Im no singer- probably couldnt be much of one after serving in the Marine Corps and blowing out my voice....But I learned how to fully engage my vocal folds to where I can make that sound just about as low as Ive ever heard a human go with complete comfort and no damage done. Ive also managed to bring overtones at the same time. Im not sure what those count as, but I make them by using the sinus cavity- including the nose. I dont sing, I just do it for fun. My favorite place to practice is in this huge stone shower I built that has amazing resonance- it amplifies the sound through the whole house...My wife is awesome, she doesnt mind and gets a kick out of it- shes even told me it sounded really good a few times.

Barbara Rhodes is in this playing a "medium" and she talks all nice and womanly until she "trances out", then growls like a beast. That sound was edited into the film. Tatiana does this in real life.

[@fubar1217]

The Charismatic Voice has a Go Fund Me going to fund the same study on multiple harsh vocalists, Tatiana included.

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Yes! Super awesome project

[@fubar1217]

@@CharlieCalottaReacts Also, if you haven't already, check out Devin Townsend. Start with his performance of "Kingdom" for EMG TV, then "Deadhead" at Royal Albert Hall. Then maybe finish with his performance of "Why" from his quarantine concert.

Good one... 1st watch of channel.... Yeah Tatiana is awesome...watching reaction videos ( like this) never gets old

[@srt8turboawdjeep146]

Pit of Consciousness LIVE is a must watch, Tati will melt your mind ... or the Spiritbox live vid where Tati makes a surprise appearance and duet

[@tonywtyt]

This never gets old : ) This is one of the most beautiful and edgiest songs I've ever heard.

[@jaykarimi7123]

Your spot on on your observations of the technique to sing like that. The one piece you're missing is the use of the proximity effect to cup the mic enhancing bass response & harmonic distortion. This also allows for low volume "screams" but using the proximity effect to add harmonic distortion, girth & weight to the voice making it sound MUCH bigger & louder. THIS, along with learning very good technique & mic control is what makes it sustainable. She isn't screaming at the top of her lungs. It's a LOT more controlled than that. You can see she cups the mic demonstrating what I'm saying. Chino from the Deftones is a GREAT example of this as he does it constantly as well. Just a lil extra bit of info I thought might help those trying to use this technique so they don't destroy their voices trying to mimic this by trying to belt "growls" in full chest or head voice.

Keep Andrea around, it will have a positive impact on your YT channel 👍👍👍

[@Semi-C-Samurai]

A good friend of mine, who has VASTLY different tastes in music, turned me on to this about 4 years ago. I was instantly a fan. Though everybody always focuses on her singing, which is understandable; I also found the band to be incredibly tight and polished. A real hidden gem! I've never been a fan of the "growl", but she and this band have opened my ears and eyes. (and I'm circa "58, i.e. an old dude).

[@jameswhitehead6758]

You mentioned Will Ramos. He was inspired by Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation. One of THE OGs and still pushing the envelope of his craft.

[@themaster408]

omg I haven't seen that live performance. Holy crap her range is insane!

[@PittDaddy]

I love seeing professionals watch Tatiana. Of course the change is shocking, but your friend immediately started thinking about how she does it. I'm sure you've shown her Floor. I hope you also introduce her to Simone, Alissa and Melissa Bonny.

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Yes :) floor video will be up soon

[@Oaklestat]

I like that you switched to live. That was a cool transition.

[@notrelevant7991]

Thank you! I love metal reaction vids! Especially Jinger!! ❤❤❤

[@cyberia55]

Two of their best live performances are ‘Perennial live at Wacken’ and ‘Pit of Consciousness live in Kiev’. The Pisces live performances often disappoint, with Tati being pitchy. It has been historically difficult for her to perform.

[@Heroo01]

Jinjer's live shows are absolutely phenomenal. She just _demands_ attention on a stage, it's incredible. Every single band member has earned their keep too, they're all amazing. Vlad, the drummer, is actually a classically trained pianist and only learned drums so he could fill in for his last band!

[@D-Tenebros]

A double reaction? Hell yeah, I'm here for it

[@cyberia55]

She never sings the Pisces high belt live. She is terrified that she will F it up.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Which is crazy because she DOES do the belting lines in songs like Astronomy and Dead Hands live which to me seem like they would be a hell of a lot easier to botch, but I am not a vocalist so I have no idea lol

[@neilpatrickhairless]

But she also sings and screams her ass off the entire show start to finish plus stomps all around the place so I have no idea how she can get through more than a few songs honestly.... She puts in work for sure

[@cyberia55]

@@neilpatrickhairless Right? I think it is some sort of phobia. She *can* do it, but her inner demons won’t let her try.

@@neilpatrickhairless Yeah at the end of Perennial from this same festival she is absolutely gassed when she is saying her farewell, yet she managed the song flawlessly.

thats so much for putting her in my world

[@albertnavarro1120]

Elizabeth Zharoff (The Charismatic Voice) is in the middle of a research project with Will Ramos on how this all works. Vocal coach Melissa Cross has been very well known as the "Scream Queen" for teaching metal, punk, and hardcore performers how to use their voices without ruining their vocal cords. Check it all out. I'm a former musical theater turned rock vocalist and this is something even at my advanced age (62) I would love to learn...it's absolutely fascinating. Loved the reaction, keep doing what you do! As a side note, this live session was drummer Vlad Ulasevich audition for the band.

[@galaxy4750]

Fun fact: She learned how to scream while having road rage in her car stuck in traffic screaming at people an learned how to control it. Also if you haven't checked out Lorna Shore go to do.

[@Kaiser_Paradigm]

Perennial live is a pure example of what she can do live. Knowing how exhausted she is before the start it's damn impressive!

[@sleepydragonzarinthal3533]

Jinjer also has a lot of groovy and funky jams that are fun to listen to throughout the day

[@aaronspeck1644]

lol him looking at her in anticipation was all of us when we intro this song to friends. Tatiana is unbelievable.

[@ItsLordTrollington]

Honestly the most impressive thing about this song is that the "drummer" is a pianist that taught himself to play drums

[@binikatz6497]

Now show her spiritbox and arch enemy!!!!! 🙏

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Yo I need to see Spirit Box first!! Lol but good call. Arch enemy is unreal.

[@BTAColorado]

@@CharlieCalottaReacts Spiritbox just did a live version of one of their most popular songs at Louder Than Life Festival Featuring Tatiana, 'Circle With Me' is the song. FABULOUS collaboration!!

[@SourPlanet]

For those who love the verse especially, check out Tapping the Vein (look for "Butterfly" to find the correct Tapping the Vein). Same sound, but instead of descending into lower range metal growl, she keeps the same vibe for chorus screams. Not to take away from the brilliance of Jinjer.
