Vocal Coach REACTS: Jinjer 'Pisces'

[@grahamkristensen9301]

I love how "Vocal coach reacts to "Pisces" by Jinjer" has basically become its own subgenre.

[@Subjectivity13]

Yeah, they tend to have the most to say, and they pick up on little details that regular people miss, like the lack of visible tendons in her neck to show she's not straining herself. Also, as in this video, they never wonder if it's really her or not like other people often do. Vocal coaches always know it really is her voice, and they know how she's doing it, but it still shocks them and blows them away even more because they understand how difficult it is to do that.

This session was a result of them doing a re-recording of this song, after finding out that it sounds very differently with their new and still current drummer Vlad. So it was kinda made to show off his skills. And yes, Eugene on the bass is a beast! The entire band is immensely talented.

[@deathsicon]

It's almost a shame because everybody gets so fixated on Tatiana with her change ups and it distracts from the rest of the performance on this song and how good they all all

[@Kirk9019]

I remember my first time hearing Jinjer, and I feel like a lot of the focus on Tatiana comes from the focus of a lot of pop artists on the vocals. It was my second time listening through Pisces that I really listened to the instrumental parts and I just went "WOOOOOOOW", which of course was my initial reaction to Tatiana as well 😂

[@rxtuninginc8444]

Agreed all of them are super talented. The control she has over her voice and switching gears is incredible. Vlad is a monster on drums and finally made the band perfect and solid all around, no weak spots imo.

Best thing they did was add Vlad. Dude adds so much to their songs it’s incredible. That whole bad is incredibly talented.

[@monbreau7306]

Like most people here, I've probably watched at least a hundred reactions to Pisces. And this is the ONLY person who complains about Tatiana touching the mic, LMAO.

[@samc4765]

It's a sound and technique she's developed after about 15 years of practice and approximately 150 to 200 shows a year for the last several years. She definitely worked hard for it.

[@daledunlop1161]

That Mic in particular is a dynamic mic and therefore less prone to those sort of artifacts that Condenser Mics often exhibit.

[@SteelSkin667]

The noise would have still gone through, and she was aggressively cupping the mic at one point as well. It's standard practice to record a separate take for the video, and with everyone being perfectly on time it's impossible to tell.

[@truedarklander]

@@SteelSkin667 cupping the mic is kinda standard for metal vocalist to much disdain of audio engeneers

Definitely good advice on people not just trying out what she does. She trained alot to learn how to do that without destroying her voice. It's not something you just do.

[@chicblick]

@mike d Yes, there are effects used in this specific performance but please dont try to explain this type of singing as a simple effect. There are coutless people, male and female, that have done this before. Saying its an effect is disrespecting the hard work and talent you need to sing like this...

[@MusikFanatikeren]

@mike d Who do you think you are Mr. Keyboard warrior?

[@videoeditingdiy]

That "sound" is a false chord scream. I can do that as well. Took me approximately 2 months to learn to get the tone, but probably 3-4 years to get it down well enough (and safe enough to not hurt myself) to perform. 15 years of doing this and I do not have any damage to my voice. I'm glad you noticed the complete lack of tension because thats the trick most vocal teachers get wrong. It is ZERO tension and completely "voiceless". The sound is entirely made by relaxing and holding your vocal cords open and the folds above your vocal chords flapping about, then ultimately just shaped into words by your mouth. If you use any of your voice or throat, it WILL hurt you. I learned from experience that if you feel it or feel tired or strained, you're doing it wrong.

[@300SmithsInARoom]

Luis Nunes A little pitchiness is fine, even from a classical standpoint (M.M. in tuba performance, myself). Having someone that understands the mechanics of producing a vocal tone explain the pros and cons of a certain approach should always be a welcome thing. Yes, of course that song came out 5 years ago, and Brittany has evolved since then, but that doesn’t mean there’s no merit in hearing a vocal coaches take on them. It could be quite valuable from a pedagogical standpoint.

There is a lot of editing on this. That said, the recording schedule for their latest album was very compressed due to also doing 152 shows on several continents that year, and Eugene says she improvised most of the vocal compositions with very few takes. Tati's evaluation was less charitable, saying "I wasn't prepared" haha. She is very talented, but there's a lot of years of work that went into making the most of that talent, including 4 years practicing growls before starting to use them in performances. All told she's been performing in various bands over half her life, since she was 15.

Nice genuine reaction. Another great band with a dynamic female vocalist is Spiritbox. Check out the video of Courtney doing a live vocal take of rule of nines- she slays.

[@SilvaDreams]

The metal growl is a very specific technique, which as you noticed, is part of the relaxed throat. When people are simply forcing it you can see them straining and it will quite literally rip your throat apart. There are actual voice coaches that specialize in it now days (I think at least one you can find here on KZbin and has worked with a number of big names)

[@Pecos1]

She taught herself to produce the growl solely from her diaphragm, completely avoiding her false chords. One of the big reasons it is so easy for her to switch between melodic and growl so effortlessly.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

Ummm... no. You really have no idea what you're talking about. Tatiana's growl is 100% produced by her false cords (vestibular folds). The 'diaphragm' is merely a muscle that causes your lungs to draw or expel air. You can't actually produce any sounds with your diaphragm. I assume you've misunderstood all those vocal coaches who talk about "singing from the diaphragm". They are talking about proper air management, not actual sound production.

[@Pecos1]

@@Mr.Ekshin I understand what you said. I just repeated what Tati said in an interview. In another interview with an opera singer, she was asked about the technical side of creating her growls, and she admitted she doesn't know the specifics of how it all works. Just that it works for her.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

@@Pecos1 - She never said she growled "solely from her diaphragm, completely avoiding her false chords". She may have answered that it comes from her diaphragm (all singing, speaking and breathing starts with muscular control of the lungs).

[@Pecos1]

@@Mr.Ekshin I concede I may have misunderstood. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. She spoke about how her growls and screams come from different parts, that her screams come from her throat whereas her growls came from deeper, and that she used her diaphragm more when making the growls. Again, I admit I may have misunderstood, and she may have just been trying to describe as best as she understands it.

You can also try Judgement And Punishment/One take Vocal from Tatiana, if you want to get a closer look at her while singing and glrowling. *Also any other piece from Jinjer, this band is top in it's league and I recoment to dive in their music if you're interested, they blend a lot of genres so seamlessly.

[@brianmashburn6233]

Not trying to take away from this, but there's a lot of layering going on with her vocals (you have to listen pretty close, but it's there). While It's absolutely awesome, it's not quite as live as you would think. You couldn't really get such a clear sound through multiple mics in the same room, because the sound from all the instruments would bleed into the surrounding microphones, causing the engineers to go insane trying to mix everything. So, while the video portion is very much live, the audio is likely individually tracked as per usual with recording sessions. I'm glad you brought up the fact that she was handling the microphone, too, as it makes more of a case to this point. Still an amazing video and I absolutely love Jinjer, just a bit of trickery on Napalm's part.

[@borisnot]

Although you are completely correct about handling the mic in an estudio environment, that is still a dynamic microphone, so those noises you talk about will be a lot less noticeable. One of the reasons they used that mic might likely be that she likes to interact with it (even more so in a live session - there's some "true" studio sessions in which she uses a condenser mic and don't touch it at all) ;)

[@alijafri2022]

Since Tatiana is clearly using an Electro-Voice RE-20 dynamic microphone which wouldn't be as sensitive to handling noise as a condenser the sound engineers probably let it go. Look and feel trumps technicalities. Also, even though this is said to be a "live" recording there's heavy post-processing going on not to mention vocal overdubs throughout the song. Having said that, this is a phenomenal band where each member is a master of their instrument. From the ghost note playing of the drums, to the finger-tapping on the bass, to the complex composition and sound of the guitars - of course, culminating in the magical mastery of the vocals.

Check out Band-Maid. They're perhaps the best band from the "girls metal band boom" out of Japan, and it fits that they have perhaps the three best voices in the entire scene. (Look at "Anemone" and "Time". "Anemone" is one of the rare songs where their lead guitarist, Kanami Tono, sings backup, and "Time" is- features their rhythm guitarist, Miku Kobato, on leads. [They started out with Kobato and their lead singer, Saiki Atsumi, splitting leads {Kobato would sing a verse, then Atsumi would sing a verse}, but they've since moved towards keeping Kobato more on backing vocals, but giving her a song or two per album on leads.]) Edit: Also, check out "I Can't Live Without You", also by Band-Maid.
