Opera Singer Reacts To JINJER - Pisces | Tea Time with Jules 

"I'm going to pause it just for a bit, now that I know what's happening". Probably one of the best reaction lines ever, just before Tatiana sends their brain spinning!! Great reaction!

'Don't rely on me and I won't deceive' is such a great line. A perfect disclaimer.

The Fairy Voice Mother has a really good reaction to this one, and she explains how Tati is doing what she is doing with her voice.

That is Tatiana. And yes, it's her voice. Jinjer is another rabbit hole worth exploring.

A good follow-up song is "Perennial" live from Wacken 2019.

I believe on The Charismatic Voice Channel, opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff persuaded Will Ramos from Lorna Shore to have a camera inserted into his throat while he performed growls to show what is actually going on in his throat. You might find that of interest to watch in your spare time! Great reaction by the way! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

🤣🤣🤣 Well, it is her voice! And no, never ever was there anyone not getting fooled by that perfect trap in composition, singing and musicianship! You might love to watch her vocal one-take of "Judgement and Punishment". "Wallflower" may be nice for you to listen to and "I speak astronomy", Tatiana`s only love song (kind of...) 🙂🤘

Welcome to Jinjer! I hope you continue with this amazing band, every song is different but they are all amazing! Great Reaction!

They are from Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, where the fighting started in 2014. Tatiana is mostly self taught. Some of her influences are Gwen Stefani for the clean vocals, and for the harsh, Otep and Randy Blythe (Lamb of God). This is an older song, redone in this live session to showcase Vlad on drums, who had joined not long before this. But it went viral because of her vocals. He is classically trained on piano and self taught on drums. He ,Roman (guitar), and Eugene (bass) are all awesome musicians. The guys write the music, and Tatiana writes most of the lyrics. The song is referencing the astrological sign ,Pisces. Tati is a Pisces, she wrote the lyrics with a little help from Eugene(also a Pisces). When the current fighting started, the guys were stuck in Kiev, but were allowed to leave last summer to tour and be ambassadors for Ukraine. The usual next step for this band is to see her do it live with either Perennial live at Wacken 2019. Pit of Consciousness live in Kiev is good too.

the transition from, "soft rock" and "this is relaxing" to "no this is metal" and "I'm scared" is amazing.

I love these Jinjer reaction videos where they say, “I have no idea what to expect.” No. No you don’t. 🤘😝🤘

when i feel awful and bad, i always watch reaction to pisces by jiner - always cheers me up

Jinjer shines in their live performances. I recommend "Perennial" live at Wacken for a follow up reaction. Good reaction. (Subbed)

Her performance and conviction she displays is super human!! The whole band is incredible!! I'm in Houston and they are coming at the end of this month..I haven't seen a concert in 30 years and this band brought me back out..Love 💕 then!!

The best overview of what she's doing IMO is The Fairy Voice Mother's reaction to Pisces after she spits up her tea in surprise. A very actionable toutorial on the technique is when ahe reacts to Electric Callboy's song Hypa Hypa with a friend and gives her friend a quick tutorial. Perennial live at Wacken is usually the next step to see Jinjer do their thing on stage, and with faster switching too. On The Top live in Kiev (now Kyiv) has a lot of great belting too. The one-take vocal video for Judgement & Punishment is great too. The most vocal tricks in a single performance is Sit Stay Roll Over live in Melbourne but that's one of their harder songs. Subbed. Cheers!

@TheMC's - You know that all of us Jinjer fans were smiling on the outside, laughing on the inside at the way you were lulled into Tatiana serenity mode...you first timers never cease to amuse!! I too work with Opera singers, so when I show them this video...I get the same reaction!! 🤘❤🤟❤🤙

Tjere's a bit of post prod on the video but the growls are 100% Tatiana and she does switch that fast (if you wish to check out more, a popular one is Perennial live at Wacken). Judgement and Punishment one take is a great one to watch her larynx and placement. The whole band is super talented and creative, great musicianship all around

Love you face reactions !!! Welcome to Jinjer !!! Each band member is AMAZING !!!! and YES that is her voice aka Queen/Beast mode Tatiana !!! Vlad on Drums, Roman on Guitar and Eugene on Bass.... I listen to them everyday !!!! My favorite group !!!!

Perennial Live at Wacken should be your next vid of Jinjer...i got to see them twice live. Man what a show.

I'm 61 years old, and this is NOT "my kind of music," but I put this one on my playlist. If you want to know how she does it, The Charismatic Voice channel has a couple of videos where she learns how to growl.

Tatiana is absolutely amazing. Especially when she hits the high screams toward the end.

Tatiana gives me the chills, voice of an angel and growls of a demon. Love this band.

The Jinjer rock'n rollercoaster journey has started!

MORE JINJER!!!

I loved your reaction, there are a lot of classically trained singers on RU-vid who have reacted in a similar way. I am 63 and this band just speaks to me. You never know what you are going to get in a Jinjer song a lot of time it is a thrill ride. A lot of Jinjer songs use jazz as a foundation.

I watched Aliki Katriou's video on how to do false vocal fold screams and I picked up on it immediately; definitely worth a watch!

Tatiana's voice is always beautiful! It is amazing how she drifts in and out of the different singing modes... Especially the ending is super impressive. I've seen probably around 50 reactions to this song and it never gets old... This song is like hand crafted for reaction channels.

Seeing them in less than one month, very excited for it.

Great reaction , i enjoy it, as i enjoy the music of these skilled Ukrainian musicians, greets!!

A totally authentic reaction, I could tell by your body language. Tati is a special talent and the band super!

Great reaction. Tati has an amazing voice. The entire band is Top Notch. My favorite band for over 2 years now, of all time. I will be seeing them Aug. 12, locally, in Syracuse, NY...

She is so Gorgeous and that sound comes out and blows my mind everytime I hear it

Hey Jules, I love your reaction and you are certainly not the first person to be shocked by the transition into the chorus. I've been a musician since I was a young child and I've played in multiple bands in several genres over the decades, but I also was not into metal music with scream/growl harsh vocals until I discovered Jinjer near the end of 2021. I immediately loved them because of their sophisticated songwriting, fantastic musicianship and the vocals of Tatiana, with her incredible ability to instantly transition back and forth from her beautiful clean singing voice to some of the best harsh vocals I've heard, female or male. She taught herself how to do the harsh vocals, but according to several reputable RU-vid vocal coaches, she uses proper technique with use of her false vocal cords, preventing damage to her true vocal cords (Elizabeth Zharoff from The Charismatic Voice channel did a great long interview with Tatiana about a year and a half ago that's available on her channel). I'd also recommend checking out the "live from Wacken 2019" video for their song Perennial (which really shows Tatiana's ability in a concert setting), the official video for Wallflower (the first half of the song has a very cool "jazz-like" groove which gradually builds up to a big finish and the video is awesome) and Tatiana's "live one-take vocal performance" video of their song Judgement and Punishment (the music has a mix of reggae and metal sections and Tatiana's vocals are fantastic).

Every Jinger song is different. Tatiana is captivating and her vocal translations are seamless. Its mindboggling. She worked extremely hard to find a healthy way to achieve the harsh vocals /grawls. Part of that involves the false vocal cords. Jinger is awesome. They use that mix of beautiful clean vocals and harsh vocals/grawls to tell a story. The harsh vocals have a purpose such as emotional context beyond shock value. I really recommend Teacher Teacher official video, Perennial live at Wacken and Judgement and Punishment Tatiana's one take vocal performance version. I suggest pulling up lyrics to read through just before each Jinger song. Thier music is even better once you understand the meaning behind the lyrics.

Oooooh! A new Jinjer react video! BRING THE POPCORN!!! 😂

Seeing people react in jinjer - pisces is my hobby now

I think its the relaxation of the vocal cords that gives it that vibration ,its something that she trained herself to do

Tatiana starts growling alway has that "gotcha bitch!" moment :D

Like I always say welcome to the jinjer army you will never be disappointed 🤘

Welcome to Jinjer, enjoy the ride

please as a singer... i hope you look into her as a whole. you probably already have , glad to see your reaction.

“Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh….” Greatest way to explain it. Enjoy!

ha ha ha, and yes, yup, that's exactly right! Tatiana is well..... she's Tatiana!

HAHAH that was the best place to pause early on before the growls xD amazing

"I'm going to pause right here now that I know what's happening" hahaha I love this :D

"Now that I know what's happening." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHATETETETETETETETETETETETTETETEHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHH! Lovely Jules!

Harsh vocals do not hurt when done properly 🙂 actually feels amazing to do

Perennial waken 2019 is a good follow-up

Jinjer is their own genre. You’ll see. Buckle up.

Tatiana is a vocal beast ! Fucking awesome !

Welcome to Jinjer. That's all her. Perennial live at Wacken shows her talent well

"Now that I know what's happening"..famous last words

Tatiana Booyakah❤ has been keeping her voice healthy for over 15 years singing with Jinjer

Tatiana is using her upper throat for the "Growls". She is self taught in the technique. If she was using her vocal cords she would blow her voice out. So using her upper throat allows her instantly switch between.

Next Perennial live @ Wacken! :)

Hi there Jules!!! This is my first time visiting your channel. I have a heads up for you. Once the drummer switches to rim-shots -- business is about to pick up!! You'll see & hear!! Tatiana is one heck of a vocalist!! In my head and opinion this group is the best thing to ever come out of the former U.S.S.R. They are from Ukraine. There is a RU-vid video of her putting her stage makeup on. I watched it so I could hear her speak. She taught herself how to do this!! Some call her the Queen of Scream!! Thanks

Love your reactions!! Especially comment about period!, I laugh in understanding. Ty - J ❤

This never gets old...lol

Theres alot of reaction to this tune I think it's because it's so well put together, and her voice is beautiful, if you read the lyrics you'll appreciate it even more great stuff

I love them lyrics SCALE ARMOUR B LAZE

Hey Jules, love your channel and the reaction to Tati, she is a Vocal Beast, that's for sure. This was my first foray into the world of "growling" and while I don't understand it completely I have become aware that there are good and bad methods. Tatiana (here) and Floor (Nightwish, "Yours Is An Empty Hope" and before she joined them) both do the growls with precision and great skill. Julia Nilon, who is a vocal teacher in Australia and has a channel on YT as well, did an entire show just on growling, and I believe she brought in Chase Carneson for additional support in the conversation. From what I understood, she is forcing a large quantity of air around her vocal folds, rather than the cords. There is little if any cord vibration happening during that process, which keeps her cords healthy.

It's always fun to see first reactions to Tatiana's "demon voice". She is self taught and it apparently took a lot of practice to get that growl perfected without damaging her voice. I'm not generally a big fan of that style of singing, but I love Tatiana's ability to flip from clean to growling vocals on a metaphorical dime.

According to Tatiana, she developed the ability to sound like that by yelling at people in traffic! 😯 Thanks for the reaction!

Please don't think I am being disrespectful, buy after watching DOZENS of Jinjer reactions, you nailed every pause and comment perfectly 😅❤

I love her so much. I was so sad that I missed her in Raleigh b/c of weather Monday night :( Hoping for a reschedule!

You found the Jinjer rabbit hole. Strap in and have tea with the mad hatter because this hole goes deep. Seen them live twice. They CRUSH! Great sound, better than studio, and they are totally perfectionist professionals.

Yes

Great video, with the perfect pause. I appreciate your interest even if it not for you. Tatiana uses a mix of false chord growls and fry scream. Jinjer also considers themselves to be progressive metalcore/ groove metal. They are so talented and honestly are some of the best in the business today. Be sure to check out "Perennial" live at Wacken, "Judgement and Punishment" one take, and "Teacher, Teacher". They blend grooves and genres effortlessly. Hope to see more soon

The type of vocals she was doing is typically called harsh vocals, gutturals or growling... I normally listen to harder and more extreme subgenres such as death metal, which is 100% growling vocals but I found Jinjer to be awesome! Especially how effortless she makes the switching back and forth between the clean and harsh/growls.

Never. Gets. Old! Tatiana is on a whole other Level…

that was so fun you watching your brain tryin to wonder were to GO haaaa haaaa welcome to the FAMILY

Great musicians

Tatiana blows another mind🤣

Way to own it. I love it

If you're interested in exploring the world of people who are both fantastic singers while also having a rough edge, I HIGHLY recommend Devin Townsend's EMG TV video "Kingdom" or his live performance of "Deadhead" at Royal Albert Hall. This is a whole rabbit hole and metal/rock vocalists have some amazing range and power even in their screams. A rougher side of metal would be something like Slaughter To Prevail's Demolisher. I dunno if you're ready for Lorna Shore yet :)

Tatiana's voice is a beautifule, exciting roller coaster..... try Teacher, Teacher, I Speak Astronomy and Judgement & Punishment(single take).......there are alot but those are accessible and show a lot of the breadth...

She got all of us the first time. 😂

should check out Tatiana's one take vocal performance of Judgement and Punishment. The entire video focuses on her.

Great reaction. Grazie

The live one take of Judgement and Punishment would probably be of interest to you. It's just her at the mic so you get a good look at her singing technique.

It's so relaxing and chill... then... yeah it never gets old

This is the reaction I came here for!!! 🤣

All right, the fish got hooked! "Pieces" is just a bait, after which it is impossible not to fall in love with this band and forget it. There will be more to come!))))

1:37 Jukes: "I'm gonna pause it just for a bit now that I know what's happening..." Everyone else: Ohhhhh no - no you don't know! 😄

You have to check out their song Judgement. It’s another amazing song and it’s also different

1:40 "...Now that I know what's happening." Ha! That's what you thought. Best laugh I've had all day! SLAVA UKRAINI and their awesome musical export Jinjer! Nice reaction!

I’ve done that kind of voice for decades(growling). The best way I can describe how to do it is start small. Make what I call grunting noises that you often times hear in this type of music. Make sounds like Rah or Roh(O sounds are the easiest), almost kind of like a dog bark. Try to get as low of a tone that you can achieve using your false vocal chords. Once you’ve become more comfortable and accustomed with doing that and have already achieved the desired sound, then you can mess around with trying to articulate words. Be cautious when doing this though, if it tickles or hurts when attempting it you are more than likely doing it wrong and could potentially hurt your vocal chords. It came pretty naturally to me as I’m very passionate about this type of music.

have you ever been to the faeroe islands? i guess not but let me take you to this place because you need to meet eivor. falling free live at the old theater in tórshavn is the best live performance i know. her voice is absolute phenomenal

recactions on Pisces never get bored)

Tatiana is using her Vestibular folds (false chords) to produce the low screams/growls you are hearing in the video. Other vocalists use that as well as what is called a fry scream. To answer your other question. Yes that is 100% her. She is mostly self taught. The rest of the band is also extremely tight and talented. The drummer is pretty much so, the only member with any formal musical training. As he (Vlad) is a classic trained pianist. The band as a whole are from the Donbas region in Ukraine.

Your reaction is as real as it gets...

Hi, I am glad you want to know more about it. Also, for what it is worth Tatiana is growl singing not doing screamo. A very basic way to start is do warm ups first, very important. Then growl gently like a dog. Gradually do it stronger to be loude enough so that others will be able to hear you if you did it instead of talking. Then talk while doing it. Do not push yourself too much, or you can cause damage. Your vocal chords should never hurt or feel stressed. As when doing a performance at full volume with no mic's you should not push yourself into pain or uncomfortable sensations. Like when doing any new physical workout you will need to have a recovery time after before you do it again to avoid any unpleasantness.

So much talent on display unbelievable

I think it was Charismatic Voice that did an interview with her where she kind of explains the voice.

I am seeing them live in August...I can't wait, and i was never a big fan of growls and sreams before I found this band.

Jinjer is from Ukraine and every member is an exceptional musician. They are Roman on guitar, Vlad on drums, Eugene on bass, and Tatiana on vocals.

I love it. There is the shock of the growl part, and then there is the shock of realizing it is Tati doing all of it :). Welcome to the Jinjer Army. Highly suggest Perennial (Live at Wacken), Pit of Consciousness (Live at Kiev), and Judgement and Punishment (One Take) as next reactions if going down the Jinjer rabbit hole.

Check out Mellissa Cross. She is a vocal coach and is known as "The Queen of Scream". She is considered to be the foremost instructor for the technique.

Not sure how that growl comes out of that tiny person lol... but I love it

Reactors always say they are scared and 2 weeks the somersault into that Jinjer rabbit hole. Welcome to Tati!
