Tatiana Shmayluk of Jinjer: Tea Time Interview with Elizabeth Zharoff

Tatiana Shmayluk of Jinjer and I sat down to some tea and smoothies, and talked about everything between her vocal technique, living in the Ukraine, her writing process and her favorite TV show. It's not what you expect!

Hoping Tatiana Shmayluk and band is safe , JNJER tour was going to start in next month .

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

Elizabeth, you have said in one of your videos (maybe more than one) that you don't know of anyone who teaches harsh vocal technique. Check THIS guy out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHzXZmWImsyhr7M

[@shure81]

This is why I love independent content creators like Charismatic Voice...this interview is a million times better and more insightful than any fake corporate magazine or half-assed radio station. Cheers to you both!

True story

[@marieskavo7159]

So true. I thought the questions were very different and intelligent. Also, it was not so much a traditional interview as it was a cosy meaningful chat.

[@galadballcrusher8182]

well one of the main things here that separates from the rest , as would Big Brain or Tank the tech interview is that they are not journalists who haven't been on the guest's shoes, they are either vocalists, instrumentalists or in Tank's case apart of being in band before he then became a roadie who toured a lot, so questions are way more insightful than journalists would be able to do

[@marieskavo7159]

Funny agree. Love Tank.

I've seen a lot of interviews with Tatiana, and I've never seen her look as comfortable or willing to open up a bit. It was less of an interview and more of a conversation. She seemed really interested when you asked her about the 'sensations' of her technique - and gave some really good answers. Great job, Elizabeth!!

Yeah frankly I’m shocked, Tati must be a fan.

[@jeffmalloy8200]

Elizabeth is so knowledgeable and you can tell she just loves music and artists and creativity and really respects them witout judgement. I think artists pick up on that and don't feel like they're being played or manipulated. I think they appreciate that and it becomes more of a conversation with a friend than an interview with a suit.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Here is THE answer for you guys. It's Kirk. I don't know how he does it, but he works with the PR teams and gets the time with the artists. Tati was a bit different. The interview was scheduled for a minimum of 45 minutes and we just kept talking. We had about 2 hours of footage and cut it down to 90 minutes. It's all Kirk though!

[@krypticeye2126]

@@TheCharismaticVoice Congrats Elizabeth! She is one of the most subdued and shy people in the industry from what I've seen when it come to interviews. She was very open and genuinely happy to talk with you. Kirk may have have laid the groundwork, and hats off to him for it, but you nailed this beautiful chat with her. She was so open and lovable. I love both you and Tatiana even more than I already did. Thanks! ;)

I have a similar thing in french. When I know in advance what I am going to say, it will not be easy to hear that I am not a native french speaker. But in a normal conversation you will hear the accent. It's simply because in a normal conversation it's hard to pay attention to the accent.

Singing is such a powerful thing, no matter the style or genre.

You want to hear POWER, hear Elizabeth sing. Yeah man, not metal, but she's got POWER!

[@cheshrkatt]

What really makes Elizabeth's interviews so much better than "mainstream" media interviews is that she actually LISTENS to the artist's stories instead of waiting to ask the next question. Plus, she asks interesting questions that the guest hasn't answered a thousand times.

[@_lin_al3177]

I already had huge respect for tati and the band as artists before this but after hearing her whole back story and the struggle she went through , especially now with the horrible war going on, i have 10 times the amount of respect for her. also she's the reason why I'm inspired to learn how to scream as a woman cause she was the first ive heard do that, just like she was inspired by guano apes, i find that really poetic in a sense lol

[@gmamapetey44]

Tati, Maria Brink and Otep are the only females I’ve heard scream so fiercely and beautifully. Super badass you learned how to as well❣️ I aspire to be able to metal scream too. But so far I’m just a whisper screamer.

[@rob3040]

Funny thing. I was an a show with Epica and Lacuna Coil some years ago and I met this Ukrainian dude with a Jinjer shirt. I was like “yo they’re great” and he said “I started that band.” I kinda thought he was lying until Tati mentioned an original singer who left for the states (this was in California). Small world.

Late reply, but I think what really helps here is that Elizabeth is just letting Tati speak. There’s no time limit, she’s not steering the interview in a certain way or cutting off the answers. Ordinarily this type of interview would be all over the place and disjointed, but with someone like Tati it’s probably the most comfortable you can make them.

Alright so I just got back from their live Seattle show and it was INCREDIBLE. Unfortunately their drummer Vlad has covid, so they just used previous live recordings, but I can promise it didn't take anything at all away from the experience. Vlad's my favorite and I think he's the most impressive, but even just the three of them more than filled the stage. Honestly Tatiana could perform an entire show alone with no problem imo, she's breathtaking. She has the most amazing stage presence, it's like you can't take your eyes off her, and she 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 it. I heard multiple gasps and wow's throughout the show at her voice alone during screams and belts, and we already all know her well enough to go to their concert! I'm incredibly impressed, and I had really high hopes. Honestly, I think her screams are better in person as well. It was like the compression was holding her back and when it's live you can hear EVERYTHING she's got, and it's a lot. Her deep deep screams were insane. She screamed lower than their opener's singer even approached, and their opener was a death metal band called Suicide Silence. So freaking cool. She also had a TON of crowd interaction; stuff like fist bumps (and some elbow bumps for covid lol), pointing out, smiling at people, making faces at specific people, getting everyone to clap, etc etc. A bunch of people right at the front had their phones up recording and she took one and held it out like a selfie for a bit and panned around to the crowd and gave it back, ALL WHILE SHE WAS STILL SINGING, and did that a few times. It was awesome, everyone absolutely loved them. Right after they left the stage, there was an "encore" chant that morphed into "ONE MORE SONG" and it was a hell of a final song and performance when they came back. (it was Vortex, if you're wondering) Eugene's subtle nod and ☝️ when he walked back on the stage threw the crowd into a frenzy lmao. She was super positive and had awesome energy, really made you want to just bounce along with them and shove some people around in the mosh pit. She was really nice and thankful to the city, and even had us cheer for their opener again at the end of the show! Truly a class act. I'm so humbled and impressed. It was my first ever concert too!! No better one to have gone to! Jinjer for LIFE!

I was there for the show and was really impressed with how clean their sound was. Usually when you have complex writing like that with low tuning and distortion it becomes very muddy live. I was standing right in front of Eugene and his performance blew me away.

I'm so glad you've done so much with Jinger....I hadn't watched your reactions to them till today cause I didn't know the band until last week. They opened for Disturbed and my brother-in-law and I were both blown away by Tatiana's skills....now I can't get enough of Jinjer!

[@a.azazagoth5413]

Keep the beautiful people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 safe and sound. Thank you for incredible interview!

Her honesty about how she writes is hilarious.

[@JustAnotherReactor]

Whenever people make fun of people like Elizabeth here because they're just "KZbinrs" and not "real journalists", they need to watch interviews like this. I learned a hell of a lot about Tatiana in this one interview alone than I've learned about other artists in interviews from the so called "professionals". This interview is great.

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

Tatiana's writing process reminds me a lot of my academic career. Procrastinating, procrastinating some more, procrastinating to the point of panic, crying, more procrastination, trying and failing, extreme stress and anxiety, then a miracle occurs 2 hours before the exam, paper, or project's due and somehow I end up with a grade. I've re-wrote, from scratch, an entire 9 page term paper that I had over a month to write, starting 3 hours before it was due to be handed in. I'd wrote something completely different the night before. After handing it in, I was wracked with shame and considered asking my professor if I could try again. I accepted my fate. When I got it back, I had an A.

I noticed Jinjer only recently when the YT algo brought them up. The song was "Pisces" and it brought me right back to late 90s Guano Apes. They were huge in Europe and Japan back then, just like Tatiana describes, and "Pisces" is very much their style, with Tatiana delivering a very much improved version of what Sandra Nasic can do, like fan fiction that outdoes the author, with much apparent musical reference and respect for the original. It seems like a linear development and it is nice to have a "new" band in that vein to listen to, even if their own style is a development away and beyond my old stomping grounds.

[@TheAhirishman]

Jinjer kicks ass! Tatiana is so freekin gorgeous 😍

[@EbizzerHH]

It is happening... OMG... I am excited and can't wait for this!

[@pattyladd]

I love Tatiana, there's a behind the scenes video from a few years back she is shooting. It is from the heart, that is when I fell for her.

[@zombietommedia]

JINJER is one of my favorite bands, and I've had the pleasure and privilege of photographing and meeting the band 6xs. This is a great interview and shows how amazing Tati is as a person!

[@PlugInKali]

Tatiana gave you a great recommendation. The song Open Your Eyes by Guano Apes was a huge hit in Europe when it came out in 1997 and it was the first time I heard harsh vocals (not growls, though) from a female. The first females I ever heard doing growls were Angela Gosow (from Arch Enemy) and Candace Kucsulain (from Walls of Jericho). Lacy Sturm (from Flyleaf) also did some screaming here and there. Edit. You should also check out Otep. I didn't mention it because I thought you already had, but I was wrong.

[@krabbenschubser]

Angela Gossow is insane 💪🏼

[@foxandscout]

The current singer for Arch Enemy, Alissa White-Gluz, is also incredible.

[@dollface9875]

Yassss, Otep!

[@1gruntusmc]

Well this 'chat' was delightful and enlightening. I came away from listening to Tatiana with a heightened respect and appreciation for her talents and the band. I want to give, as a big Jinjer fan, my sincere thanks to Elizabeth and her Charismatic Voice for hosting a great exchange with Tatiana. To sit in as it were and experience this great artist!

[@VivaldiHeroes]

We played at a festival in Romania in 2013 (bucovina rock fest) and I saw Jinjer for the first time. It was impossible not to notice Tatiana's performance. They all seemed fun people; I remember entering the hotel the festival had booked and they were running up and down the corridor and doing shots. Didn't know of the struggle they were and would go through at the time. So happy to see their effort paying out and the recognition they receive now :)

[@oystersnag]

Your interviews are quickly becoming my favorite artist interviews because it is always so genuine. It feels more like two friends chatting rather than an "interview" per se. You hit all the important questions we all want to ask and nerd out in just the right ways. Thanks for sharing this interview and your own insights as well.

[@anetteridleyrodriguez]

I have become a huge fan since discovering Jinjer a year ago. I'm so excited to see you live in October!!!

[@gondrets]

At 9:44 Tati talks about Guano Apes, a band from Germany. Please, listen to this band... it's amazing!!!

[@TimmyTickle]

Way ahead of you

[@porkthepink]

the fact she was inspiried partially by Otep is awesome,. Great interview by far one of my favorite Bands ever.

[@Scuba_Bro]

Oh man I LOVE the Guano Apes... Sandra Nasic is such an underrated vocalist! 'Open your eyes' is such an amazing song 😁

[@den2k885]

Lords of the board too, it's powerful

[@DaneInTheUS]

They're great. I love Dödel Up lol

[@Timbofett28]

Easily the best interview I've ever seen. Such an honest conversation on both ends.

[@Pasta221]

I just really fell in love with her vocals. Just started listening to Jinjer and I'm here like what?.. 15min later? Watching an interview with Tatiana. Tatiana is such a cool lady. Wish I knew someone like her in my life, so inspirational. And not to diagnose anyone but she sounds alot like me, and I am ADHD+Autism. Working under pressure/ procrastinating is like a huge part of ADHD. Its how we do things and it's nothing wrong with that approach. Glad she is able to make it even when it turns into tears instead of screams! ❤ Stay strong!

[@stuartu7150]

Elizabeth, thank you so much for introducing to me to Jinjer! I love your reaction videos and ran across your “Home Back” reaction a couple hours ago. Now totally hooked on Jinjer! 😍 After going through tons of different reaction videos to “Pisces” for good laughs and learning, I’m finally listening to this interview. After reading the comments about how reserved Tatiana normally is, I’m thoroughly impressed by how much you got her to relax and open up. Please let her and the rest of the band know we’re all thinking of them and hope they and their loved ones stay safe. 🇺🇦 By the way, “Home Back” hits so hard right now. 😢

[@josephmccall8301]

Its wonderful seeing Elizabeth grow her tastes and learn to appreciate a broad spectrum of talent

[@TheNeonParadox]

This is easily the most comfortable and extroverted I've ever seen Tatiana, and I love her personality.

[@thiagorodrigues5211]

Seems like Elizabeth is really into Metal these days. I'm loving it

[@pascalmarfaing1690]

Each time Elizabet plays Hard Rock songs , I am happy ! I looove songs about the Devil . . . :-)

[@soakedbearrd]

Metal has a strong connection with classical music.

[@thiagorodrigues5211]

@@soakedbearrd you could say that to many other musical styles actually so it's not only about that

[@soakedbearrd]

@@thiagorodrigues5211 it’s more apparent with metal compared to other genres like rock, jazz, rnb, pop etc..

[@MoonOvIce]

@@soakedbearrd Even the theatrics, even the most mellow Heavy Metal is still very intense, emotional and exaggerated (not in a bad way) so a lot like Opera too, especially some of the classic high-pitched metal vocalists.

[@jamiancarreon9896]

I discovered this band 5 years ago. One of my favorite new metal bands. Great interview

[@midenking9651]

Wow I've never seen Tati so open and relax! This is genuinely one of the most chilled chats and vibes.

[@thebear128]

We love you Tatiana! The world is better off because you kept fighting for those ten years. Thanks for the amazing interview Elizabeth!

[@Squeesher]

Amazing interview! You have been able to convince 3 of my heroes: Devin Townsend, Brittney Slayes, and now Tatiana Shmayluk, to actually sit down and talk about their music and lives! These are three people I don't see very many interviews from, so I know you count yourself lucky Elizabeth :P Thank you for sharing your time and talents with the world, both of you!

[@buckcherry2564]

I dont think you asked a single one of the "usual boring questions" these folks probably get thousands of times. That was refreshing and I could tell in Tati's mood as it progressed.

[@erikfacundo786]

Ukrainian women, diamonds made under pressure to sparkle in the sun. Everyone I have had the privilege to meet all came out of tragic circumstances and come out the other side smiling and driven. A short walk in there shoe's seems to make your personal troubles trivial and illustrates how truly beautiful they are.

[@yubogolfer4040]

"I'm stoked for this" is a huge understatement !

[@tigran2210]

Was going to say the same thing there are no word to describe the level of excitement and that I’m experiencing *_*

[@Lambohok]

Did she really get to interview Tati? Wow 🔥🔥🔥🔥 cant wait to watch this

[@Jtm_41i87]

I've never seen such a clear and honest conversation, especially when you're assumable strangers and you're absolutely glowing Beth....beautiful

[@Oneminutemindfulness]

Amazing interview. You should do more. She was so comfortable talking to you and you were like a little blushing giggling fan. Loved it!They all deserve the success they have now. They struggled and worked hard for it. There’s is a great story of the Ukrainian people’s struggle just to survive and get out of a war torn country. She’s such a powerful woman, yet sweet and humble at the same time. I hope they stay successful and never have to worry about going hungry ever again. Again awesome interview! I have 4 trees up all year that I decorate for each holiday. The lights bring warmth and make me smile. Keep rocking’ your trees❤️

[@blastedcorpse271]

This interview was amazing. I love both Liz and Tatiana. I wish I could find a woman like either. Both incredible human beings. I just can't get over either.

[@peteharper3299]

Every Jinjer Reaction Video: "Oh wow, she has such great control, she must know all about the throat and how to use all the different parts in the exact way to make it perfect." Tatiana: "Yeah I just make it up as I go, I don't know what I'm doing." 🤣

[@1herbiekritzer]

Tatiana is an amazing artist. Brilliant

[@paultaddayphotography7205]

I love Tati! Such a great singer and personality! Not to mention a total pocket rocket on stage! I've had the pleasure of photographing Jinjer when they toured Australia in March 2020 and they were just brilliant!
