[@dmwalker24]

The reason I keep watching reactions to this song is for that moment with the E5 belt at the end. That's when people who understand vocal technique tend to have their biggest reaction, and presumably for the same reason I did the first time I watched it. When she pulled that out, that's the moment I said to myself, this isn't just about a novelty or a gimmick. She's the real thing.

[@csgowoes6319]

I did notice though that she struggles with that part in her live performances. Though to be fair it's to be expected after a couple of hours of this!

[@mattr7994]

Agreed. That’s the moment I watch these vocal coach reactions for. It’s a quick switch from the growl straight into a great belt with range, and the vocal technique folks tend to notice.

[@loskillo]

She has mentioned in interviews that she prefers not to do the belt live, because she fears not hitting the belt 100%.

[@dmwalker24]

@@csgowoes6319 Yeah, no one is perfect. I have little to no personal experience with the metal scream/growl, but I wonder about the stamina it takes to keep that up for long periods. The gender differences in vocal tract are more about size than fundamental structure, so I would imagine it's similar for men and women.

[@Baka_Oppai]

guess im not the only one, most reactors miss it tho

[@jabberwokee4127]

“I wasn’t ready” it never gets old. Great analysis and reaction. Liked and sub’d. A good follow up would be Perennial live at Wacken 2019. Jinjer live is simply mind blowing. Enjoy your journey down the Jinjer rabbit hole. 🍻🤘

Yes to Perennial. Then Judgement and Punishment

[@jebus456]

I couldn't agree more.

[@annakissed3226]

Just like everyone else I was waiting for your reaction, knowing that you're a vocal specialist. My original plan for covid was to learn to improve my singing ability, sadly instead my mind decided that I needed to heal my childhood trauma instead & I have been sucidally depressed for 2+ years but it will get sorted & then I can work to improve my singing & I will have all this wonderful guidance from the youtube voice coaches I follow. I haven't watched to the end yet so you may yet comment but nobody seems to have commented about how JinJer & their families as a band are from the Donbass region of Ukraine which is currently being bombed flat by Russia. When Russia first invaded in 2014 they moved to Western Ukraine, which is AFAIK where they are still based. Given the Donbass is the heavy manufacturing area of the Ukraine, the interest in heavy metal seems obvious. Just as Detroit or Sheffield is big on heavy metal bands.

[@clintono]

Tatianna has the voice of an angel.... as that angel falls through all 9 layers of hell and then fights its way back out..... And I adore it.

[@Heroo01]

Since she's Ukrainian she put a LOT of work into her enunciation. Her accent is really strong but you can't hear even a morsel of it in her singing. Her tone and softness is insanely impressive imo cause she just learned it by ear

[@ericpeterson7512]

I love her voice. I can hear a morsel of an accent on certain words. I'm a connoisseur of accents lol and if you listen hard you can detect it slightly on a few words. Every once in a while she'll have an interesting pronunciation of a word too. I dig it! But overall yes she is very clear in her diction and enunciation, both in her clean tones and her unclean tones.

Except in this case its obviously a lie and she clearly knows its coming because its not her first time watching the video. Shame really. She can't even hide it, she verbally lets out that she knows what's coming on two occasions before the "surprise" and has the most obvious shit-eating grin just before she presses play again. I've seen toddlers that were better at hiding things.

Watch her live to appreciate her vocal contrast. I recommend "perennial (live at waken)"or "judgement and punishment (vocal one take) " . Great reaction 👍🏻🤘🏻

[@goatbrother8718]

Yeah the judgement and punishment one take might be the most interesting one for a vocal coach

[@AKJACKAL99709]

Definitely recommend "Judgement and Punishment" (vocal one take) to the vocal coach reactors! It's a great side view of her while singing/screaming and also a clean recording to catch vocal phrasing and nuances! I love the concert stuff also. Often those are recommended either to prove that really is her voice (not a processed effect as some allege), or just because it is their personal favorite Jinjer song. Nothing wrong with that, and if Pieces and Judgement grab this vocal coach then I definitely think she should go down that rabbit hole of awesome live performances.

[@matthewgrady3423]

I have listened to this song hundreds of times. I’ve watched reactions to it just as many times. That belt near the end will NEVER not get me. I have to brace myself as soon as she starts with “Pisces swimming…” and just tense up until it’s over. I’m slowly been becoming a fan of this band over the past few months. Probably my favorite song of there’s is “Teacher, Teacher.”

[@abnormaltexan]

English isn’t her first language and she has said she works extra hard to make sure she enunciates every word properly. She wants you to hear and understand her songs and not just see them as a gimmick. This is one of the most talented groups of musicians making music today and she truly appreciates the guys behind her make her even better and vice versa. They are crazy good!

I had the scales fall from my eyes (and ears) in 2019 when I first heard Nightwish. Since then I have been immersing myself in the European metal scene, starting with Symphonic Metal and from there going down assorted interconnected rabbitholes. This song in particular is a joy to watch pro singers and vocal coaches react to. Your reaction did not disapoint. Tatiana has plenty left in the tank for you to react to!

[@joespradley2323]

Next you need to react to “Teacher Teacher”. Thank you so much to reacting to them. They are the most unique bands out there and from Ukraine that we hear about in the news. Tatiana is so gifted and sings various musical genres in their music. You will absolutely love each suggestion because all of them will be great to see your reaction. Thanks again🙏🏼🌹

[@telecastersaremetal6648]

Even when you know it's coming...Still blows your mind! lolol

[@-R.Gray-]

The duality of her voice fits right in with the Pisces theme. The sign Pisces is represented by 2 fish swimming in opposite directions - sort of a split personality situation. Using the fish metaphors, part of her wants to be caught ( having an intimate relationship), and the other part is "skittish" due to past mistreatment by "callous men" and "handsome butchers". The "emeralds being ripped away" are probably her wall of iridescent scales which has to be lowered in order to achieve intimacy. As they say, "Once bitten, twice shy". One reactor said that her voice reminded him of his ex-wife's voice - before and after marriage. After this introduction, the recommendation is usually for a live performance, so you can hear her growls in a that situation, but their song "Home Back" hits pretty hard. for other reasons. It was written after being forced to leave their homes because of the fighting in eastern Ukraine, and how they want their homes back.

[@thecassman]

Well said. Great to see others write up the Pisces symbolism! ... The really sad thing about 'Home Back' is that many believe it's the current conflict the song was written about, but it was actually the conflict when Tati was a child... It's awful that they are enduring it all again.

[@drobichaud1000]

shut up gray

[@ralphg.1039]

@@thecassman Home Back rather refers to when the band had to leave the Donezk region and move to Lwiw in Western Ukraine because of the present conflict starting already 2014 in the east... since Tati is 35 now, she was hardly a child back then. ;-)

[@flightgamer7849]

Wow so surprising. Her natural singing is so warm and nice. I love how in that last scream she seems to mix her throat singing with her high mix voice...how?!?!

[@krimzonghost1987]

I've heard people refer to it as "Double Voice" before, but It's hard to find a formal definition of this phenomenon. It's EXTREMELY rare from what I can tell. But you are most definitely hearing two tones in her last two growling segments. I have been questioning my sanity for the last 10 or so listens, but every time I replay it I hear the same exact thing. When most people execute a Double Voice type of effect it takes them more than one track to accomplish it. She is absolutely, terrifyingly INCREDIBLE!

[@bradellington134]

​@@krimzonghost1987this is a studio recording, and if you listen, the vocals on the verses are more than one vocal track. Could possibly be the same on the choruses. Lots of tricks can be done in the studio that can't be replicated live.

[@brad_wilson]

@@bradellington134 100%, there is multi-tracking for the vocals.

[@narsos6043]

Tatiana has done a bunch of interviews. Even with some KZbinrs. If I recall the interviews correctly she has said she doesn't know any of the science behind it. She was inspired by another female screamer: Otep. Then just practice screaming at cars on a highway, and in her pillow at home for years to to learn how and develop her style. I think she did one interview on Loudwire on how she learned to scream. "Teacher, Teacher" is probably my favorite song but yeah I agree with other commenters for vocal coaches and teachers "JINJER - Judgement (& Punishment) - Tatiana Shmayluk - One Take Vocal Performance" is a good one because its just her up close in a booth.

[@leonardvandergriff6241]

She is even more amazing live the entire band is what you can call perfect

[@somedigitalist7681]

Great reaction and analysis. Tatiana's harsh vocals are really interesting because they display aspects of both false cord screaming (low, open, dark coloured, growl) and fry screaming (usually high, bright, with high frequency static-y overtones) at the same time. To use an analogy, Tatiana's harsh vocals use false cord screaming like chest voice and fry screaming like head voice, and she can mix the two in various proportions. This is unusual because false cord screaming is done with the true folds held open, and its very hard to generate enough breath pressure to rattle the tissues that produce a fry scream sound higher in the vocal tract with the true folds open. Usually fry screaming is done with the true folds held closed enough to only allow a small high pressure stream of air through (the true cords are not used to phonate while doing this in a pure fry scream). It makes her harsh vocals pretty unique. She's a wonderful vocalist with a wide variety of clean and harsh timbres in her arsenal and the artistic sense to use all those tools in the right places to aid storytelling.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

this is why It would be amazing if The Charismatic Voice could do another "Operation: Throat Camera" with Tatiana.

[@daved2352]

When I first learned what fry screaming was I enjoyed spotting fry screamers at gigs when their speaking voice into the mic came out much louder than their screams. It helped me to stop hurting myself doing the two or three backing vocal lines I had to do in my band too.

Jinjer just put out an album last August called "Wallflowers" and were set to tour with Slipknot right about now. Unfortunately the war in Ukraine started, which is their home country. The guys in the band were in Ukraine and couldn't leave so that nixed their tour plans. Tatiana was in Los Angles with her husband and has been working on some collaborations with other bands. Once the war is over I am crossing my fingers they come ROARING back (pun intended).

Her belt on this song really reminds me of Ann Wilson of Heart. There's some layering on her voice to fill it out, but her growl is so deep and aggressive.

[@randalljones4370]

Watching you attempt to construct the physical vocal production in your mind's eye while carrying on a conversation was precious. The words would flow but then the brain would give a nudge like "just think about the arytenoids... and what is going on in the posterior pharynx?" A very good and entertaining reaction. About 4 months ago we got a heads up from Elizabeth/The Charismatic Voice that she had arranged for a detailed laryngoscope for Will Ramos of the band Lorna Shore at a very legit lab in Utah (I shall hold off on plugging them only because I'm former faculty at another west cost med/dental U who has a similar lab, lol It's kinda like football fans, we don't cheer for the opposition, lol.) Anyway, that video is premiering this Fri June 10 on her channel. Yes, I know it's kind of clumsy talking about the 'competition' on a reactor's channel, but 98% of the time you folks seem to be much more supportive of others in your field (then we are in grant-competitive academia, or even worse in the private sector). You'll probably see the info in her community section, and you REALLY should see the teaser/trailer she has up right now...Will is such a real/down-to-earth/FUNNNY person. OK, enough plugging other channels. ...But since I watched all the way to the end of the video and you'd mentioned wanting to see a scope of harsh vocal production, I wanted to make sure you knew that video was upcoming. No spoilers, form me. But there's a hint at a very cool 'ah hah moment' in the trailer.

[@ShanLiB]

Tatiana is a treasure and the rest of the band is so talented and so together in producing this. It really is a team effort. That last transition by Vladislav, introducing Tatiana's last beast-mode segment, was amazing. One of the ways to know Tatiana is not being damaged by this is the fact that she's been doing it for more than 12 years and has not been harmed. I really enjoyed your reaction/analysis.

[@Dee-ih2yf]

" Wallflower" by Jinjer also speaks to lead singer Tatiana's introverted side. The band has been around for 12 years now with different personnel, the most recent change being Vlad the drummer who is a classically trained pianist. The guys write the music and Tatiana (a self-confessed procrastinator who does her best work under the last minute deadline) writes the lyrics. Tati's early role model for screaming was a female screamer named "Otep" from the band Otep. Check them out with the song "Ghostflowers" and imagine Tati hearing a female vocalist screaming for the first time. The song "Wallflower" portrays the band's different personalities and Tati's artistic side.

Wacken is very technical and will show her on stage and her mesmerizing stage presence (I've seen them twice) and at the end she talks to the crowd and you can see how out of breath she was which is mind-blowing. Judgment and Punishment has a lot of belting and is more focused on power, and up close so her technique is on display. Great analysis - subbed. Cheers!

This is the best response to this song I have seen. Yes, the growl is super impressive, but the mixed belt is what really sends shivers down my spine. Her transitions are superb and everything she does is extremely musical. A lot of growl vocals are used for effect or to add aggressiveness, Tatiana uses every part of her repertoire as an instrument. I also like the way she transitions from a growl to a scream effortlessly - it's almost as if she is able to pitch the vocal effect.

You went from my most favourite band in the world, Disturbed, to my second most favourite band in the world, Jinjer. I saw Jinjer at a friends place and couldn't believe the voice of Tatiana, they came to Australia and I did a "meet and greet" and it was amazing. Such talent, an amazing band and absolutely insane live. Like Disturbed they are even better live than on any album.

[@stub011]

If you go through Jinjer’s catalogue you will learn that Tatiana has a higher and lower register. But it works because the band create the music that allows it work so perfectly. She has very little do to with the composition but they know she can add to it. The band site lots of bands as influences but I would definitely say that Opeth (not forgetting Otep was Tatiana’s eye opening moment as it being possible for a woman to do extreme vocals). Opeth and Otep are too very different bands but good in their own rights. I hope Jinjer will be remembered for their talent and the fact they opened up so many people to metal in the way bands that Metallica, SOAD and Slipknot did (just name a few) because they got people interested in a genre that they would otherwise of thought differently to. I’m 51 and I honestly think Tatiana is my favourite vocalist out their now. People can argue and that’s fine, my tastes are tastes and what I like is just what I like, it’s an opinion. Music / art is not based in facts, so love what you love and enjoy it, be happy with what makes you happy (unless it’s auto tune in which case I’ll say you are wrong 😂😂😂😂) love, peace and harmony ♥️

Whatever Jinjer's level of commercial success turns out to be, I am confident that in a decade there will be a generation of musicians citing Jinjer as key influences. Looking at the more recent success of Spirtbox, I don't think they'll be alone and bands like Jinjer and SB are going to be the end of this, but rather just be the first steps in a new wave of metal becoming an influential genre again. And here's the thing, look at how successful Adele has been, and she's almost always singing about hurt and anger, but it's made pretty, sugar-coated, romanticized. I think when music historians look back on the last decade, they'll point to Pisces live session in 2017 when so many women around the world were really taking hold of their anger and the amazing technique on display waking people up to a new paradigm of music. Music that doesn't have to choose between beauty and the beast, between Adele and Arch Enemy. Rather it is music that can integrate the two ends of the spectrum and embrace everything in between. That is able to be beautiful when it should be, but to express hurt and anger fully when it needs to too.

Check out Lauren Babic, idk if you e heard of her or not. She does a lot of covers, Bad Romance is a good one but then she does some nice soft vocals in her covers of “Lovely” And a cover of the Gaga/Bradley cooper song (cannot remember the name right now). I absolutely agree that Tati is in a league of her own, but you might like Lauren as well.

"I wasn't ready!" That's what everyone says!!!!!! Love it!!!!

[@scuppernog1]

It is so fun seeing someone, especially vocal coaches discover Jinjer for the first time. Probably because that is the closest we can come to rediscovering them ourselves. Believe me when I say that you have barely scratched the surface of what they can do. The musicians are phenomenal and Tati is a goddess. I have never heard a single song from them that I don't like. They sound great live but don't forget their Official Music Videos. "Teacher Teacher" and "Home Back" are must see videos Just keep going and the Jinger Army will follow along. Enjoy !

Damn, I was on holiday at a place where internet is very fragile when you did this! Great reaction; not quite what I expected (I thought you might be shocked!) I’m so glad you enjoyed it, it was obvious in your face 😂 All you need to do now is follow your nose down the Jinjer rabbit hole! Oh, Vortex is a really good next one 👍🤘🤘🤘

[@nickmoutos8308]

Absolutely one of the most dynamic voices I've ever heard, the beautiful softer sounds and singing along with the growling Tatiana does is truly amazing! I saw them live in 2018 in a 500 person venue and it was every bit as good live as this "live studio" version. Loved your reaction and technical descriptions, thank you!

[@austinshoemaker246]

I love watching people’s faces when she switches it from beautiful vocals to death metal screams. It’s unreal.

[@jakegriffith3226]

I 100% am in love with her voice! 😍 and that scream at the very end reminds me of a panthers scream ....... 🤌🏻🤤🤤🤤

[@ryoichirou7865]

woaahh finallllyyyyy Jinjer ^^

[@NicholasP1983]

Absolutely love Jinjer amazing music and equally amazing vocals from queen Tatiana

[@ronaldhaupricht9743]

Please do more Jinjer reactions you won’t be disappointed!!!!!

[@tomislavkosanovic1104]

All the artistry aside, I love how she clearly defined the mood of the verses, the first is all introductional and neutral beautiful, the second is already a step up , warning and more involving, and by the time the third comes she knows she's got you sucked in and plays the Master role, prepping you for the finale. Awesome dynamics by an incredible woman backed up by top musicians. The usual easing in is to check "Perennial LIVE at Wacken 2019", a beautiful sample of their live performance, or "Teacher teacher", but since you're a voice teacher, I bet "Judgement and punishment one take vocal performance" is what you'll want to sink your teeth into 😉.

[@texasnewt]

Very insightful reaction, perceptive breakdown of Pisces performance ... entire band is top-dead-center on top of their game ... and, the vocals!! For follow-up, reaction to Jinjer's "I Speak Astronomy" is a must. Also, please permit me to suggest "Iron Sky," by Paolo Nutini -- worth noting that Nutini wrote Iron Sky!

[@eaMCMLXXIX]

I felt in love to this song, but not only in her incredibly beautyful and wide vocals. In all of the members plays, the whole composing, timings and melodics, too. This is one of the few songs i can hear repeatedly for hours.

[@jamescurfman3284]

I love the face you made while hearing Tati's edgy rough vocals for the first time (she calls them 'extreme vocals'). I have done that myself. Oh, you have to give this another listen, you missed something. This was not the first recording or the first playthrough in the studio. She actually has a backing track that is her whispering the lyrics underneath the normal clean vocals. She's not actually as airy as it seems. I think she also did another backing track for the low screams and maybe also for the high scream at the end. Obviously there is some echo effect on the mic at certain points. And AMAZING, AWESOME display all the way around. This is a world-class band! :)

[@oviate1]

The first drop is timeless but I love watching everyone (especially vocal coaches) get floored by the switch up at 12:08. That’s when Tati really shows her pipes.

[@lkayh]

LOL. You only THINK you’re prepared for the first time hearing Tatiana. People literally make a hobby of watching first-time reactions to Jinjer, and this song is the best one to start with because it’s so Jekyll-Hyde. A lot of reactors have serious meltdowns. Julia Nilon just about killed me-in part probably because I’d only just heard it the first time myself, and had a very similar reaction. Anyway, great reaction and analysis. You might want to check out The Bass Gang’s recent cover of Centuries, featuring Jonathan Young-he briefly uses a similar technique, and I gather he does more on his own channel (metal guy, 2 million subscribers). It sounds to me like he’s also classically trained-I hear a little of that from him at times. The BG members themselves are basses with extensive ranges and considerable talent. One member is currently in apprenticeship with the Santa Fe Opera as well. FYI, this band is from Ukraine. Tatiana, last I heard, was in the US with her husband, but the men are in Ukraine fighting. I check in on their channel every so often hoping to find out how they are. They’re selling merch to help fund the fight. PS, I doubt I’m the first to mention this but you look a lot like Annette Bening back in the day.

[@harlanmonk569]

Great reaction as usual. I hope you delve deeper into the metal genres. Its the most welcoming community of fans. The fans of metal have a thicker skin shall we say when it comes to analyses'. In fact it tickles them when you are shocked,surprised,appreciative or repulsed by a suggestion. They absolutely appreciate talent in all music styles and genres but are metal to the core. So in closing I recommend Ne Obliviscaris an d their song Forget Not for an incredible rollercoaster ride you may want to never end. Thank you kindly .

[@ArtSailing]

HAAAAA, nobody can be ready! Im watching the feelings in your eyes, but cant see my face. Yes, this song is whole Ocean with all the gentle Breezes and brutal Storms.

[@jbwooten89]

Watching musicians, especially vocal coaches, completely fall in love with that last section is always the highlight of these videos. Good content!

[@spinemole]

No matter how many times I watch her I almost can't believe that she is for real making those sounds all by herself. No one who watches her sing is EVER ready.

[@iKozak99]

I was VERY fortunate to see them live and it was incredible! The way she's able to switch between the two voices in a live environment is something to behold!

[@AcousticProfit]

I really respect when singers and voice teachers value false chord and fry screaming. It takes so much practice to not hurt yourself. Thank you for that!

[@michaelewifladt8605]

Firstly... I enjoy this channel! What blows Me away, is how Tati is minimally trained! Mostly all natural. Feom My understanding! Wow! I love every Jinjer reaction!

[@WtbgoldBlogspot]

I was in Dallas one time with a friend in a metal band, and they taught me to growl, that "discovery moment" you mentioned. Here's the steps they walked me through. 1. First, say something ridiculously southern and with a big exaggerated Texas drawl. We did "You got a purdy mouth." (sorry, lol) Maybe this is relaxing everything since southern accents are slow and drawn out. 2. Next, say it again but as low as you can. 3. Then, say it again but even lower than that. Lower than you're able to. I'm guessing this is forcing you to not just relax, but open the vocal chords. Keep them out of it. If they're looser than they have to be to make sound, then voila. 4. Finally, say it again like that but as loud as you can. And tah-dah, I made a noise I wasn't expecting to ever hear myself make and it was awesome. Didn't hurt either. I'd be curious to take actual lessons though since this was just "something a guy told me" and not necessarily the right way. It worked though and was a blast.
