My brother was their tour manager for their first US tour. He said she nailed it consistently every night. The whole band seems really well-rehearsed from every live video I've seen.

She's not "pushing for it" cause it's the last song. She's tired. The band's tired. But she's still doing such an amazing job.

From 1st hand experience, she absolutely does NOT lip sync. She is just that good.

I'm really glad you're into metal because there's just so many super talented people pushing the limits of human capability in these genres.

I love Sam's "stank face" when he is into the music 😂

I saw jinjer in philly in a bar that could fit just about 50 people in it. Believe me, she is making everyone of those sounds live.

Lip synching in rock or metal is the quickest way to end one's career.

I saw Jinjer live two days ago. The harmony vocals were added in post production. They are not used live. The only effects used are the same that every singer has live and in the studio. Compression and some reverb/delay. Tatiana is extremely talented. That's all her.She doesn't need nor use any electronic help for her growls/screams or singing.

Tatiana is my voice idol-- her growls are incredible and cleans are so, so nice. So glad they're blowing up more and more

and remember... that was the last song of their show. She did a whole show before this song. Crazy.

I saw Jinjer live this past Thursday in a very, VERY small venue and she sounds just like this, if not better. When she did "I Speak Astronomy" it gave me chills. It was awesome. She's an amazing front woman.

"hi I'm Sam Johnson😁 and I'm a reborn metalhead"

As an audio guy also with tons of live experience to echo other sentiments, I hear three things: compression, EQ and delay. Maybe a smidge of reverb too. Honestly it’s pretty standard live vocal stuff. Great video as always Sam!!

her screams are 100% legit, she can go as deep or as high as you hear, when you develop a safe technique it is almost effortless, yeah obviously delay and tiny effects can make it sound even cooler but is not like she needs it

"Around the D, under the A" - Sam Johnson

Out of all the vocal coach videos i see I think you are the best. Props!

She's such an amazing frontwoman. Undeniable power!

Im not familiar with JINJER, I was shocked by what came out first lol. Will definitely look into them. Great analysis Sam. I appreciate that you refer out and say when you are not comfortable with something. True professional

Another Jinjer video? Hold a sec I need popcorn for this. Haven't checked out their new music yet, this'll be a first.

Love these. Especially when its my preferred genre of music! And I love it even more when I see it as soon as its uploaded

Sam has AWESOME metal face. Straight berserker my man!

BOOM! Love that you’re reacting to a live performance of her.

I have watched many vocal coach reactions, and you've had the best analyses that I have come across. You make the most sense of all that I have seen.

Try to lip sync in a metal concert and get out alive if you can.

YES I have never clicked on a notification so quickly. I have been hoping you would react to her performing this song since its release! My sister saw Jinjer live at Download this year and said she sounded very similar (like a badass were her exact words!). She is simply amazing!

Tatiana is such a big talent, I’m glad Jinjer is beginning to grow in popularity in the world of Metal. Their tour regiment is definitely bigger than I believe it was before “Pisces” started making the rounds. Hopefully it won’t affect her live sound too much with how often they’re performing live now.

I will never not watch a jinjer video by THE SAM JOHNSON

I don't typically like growling vocals...but I really like hers. She's something else.

In an interview she said she began taking vocal lessons at 8, and she began her professional career in her teens by singing for a punk band. She definitely knows what she's doing, and if you look at any of Jinjer's tour schedules you'll see that she's been doing this night after night for years on end.

Love you so much, Sam.... I've always been afraid to sing, only singing to my girls at bedtime and because of you, i don't give a damn anymore and I drive everyone insane and LOVE IT! I've found the joy of singing! Thanks so much!

Seen them live literally a few feet from her next to stage. She is legit.

I was there for this set and they totally ruled the whole day. Incredible live!

Love seeing another JINJER video! You should react to Serj Tankian

you're very right. the false folds are twice the size of your glottal folds. women can get down really low with false fold sounds like this. and a common misnomer is that a false cord scream uses the false folds while a vocla fry doesn't...but no both resonate the false folds the fry just has more true or glottal cord involvement...this is why in fry screams you get cool overtones because two different folds are both resonating. it's how tuvan style singing works as well.

I just saw them last night. Small venue. Her voice is *so* solid, even live, every time, every song, every note. She has hella talent.

This song actually made me shed a tear before. Not even the clean part, it was so damn dirty and crazy that I couldn’t help but get super into it

I think it's silly how people are so obsessed by whether vocalists are using some type of effects on their voice. Esp in metal. You wouldn't be that upset if a guitarist used distortion, or when the orchestral track wasn't produced by an actual on stage orchestra? The voice is another instrument in this mix, and sometimes it needs an extra layer or effect to give it that added power. You re still a skilled musician...

SAM Jinjer is awesome ! She has so many voices she's a natural really great singer so much depth and tone beautiful voice i have worked with a lot of singers over the years she is amazing and yes i agree the sound system has a lot to do with it but who cares she has found something that works for her and her band and it's awesome. Something about this woman i can't put my finger on it but she is really something special i get a really good feeling when i hear her voice i'm a huge fan. I find music pretty boring as a whole i'm 50yrs old and she has brought back evoked a feeling me that i have not had in 20yrs. She is the real deal i agree she is a great performer.

One more group to add to the 'To Listen' list. Thank you! And I love that you enjoy this so much. When I tell my friends I watch a Voice Teacher KZfaq channel, they think it's all classical music for some reason. Why though? Why? Ugh... You're great!

Man I'll never forget requesting Jinjer on your channel comments and then seeing a video a few days later, I was so pumped, AND NOW ANOTHA ONE? heck ya!

always good to see a jinjer react video

INSTANT LIKE. Would love to see you analyze Einar of Leprous!

Completely correct Sam. If making these sounds hurt, you are doing it very wrong. Im by no means at her level, I've just taught myself over the past few years. It does not hurt one bit and can be done by every person on this planet. Its a very primal sound. Its the same sound baby make with a wailing cry. But as we learn to speak, we forget to use what most extreme vocalists call our false chords and we forget how to make that sound.

How am I just now finding your channel?? You’re so much fun to watch

I saw them last Wednesday and they were great. Your Pisces reaction was my first exposure to Jinjer - so thanks for that! :D as to what she can naturally do with her growls, there are some old bootlegs uploaded before they even had a record label that sound utterly awesome. My favorite being the cover of Lamb Of God's "Laid To Rest" uploaded by NosSam in summer 2012.

FINALLY WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY SAM ONCE AGAIN 😍

Love Jinjer 😁👍👍 so talented

"Not me. Someone who knows what they are doing with this." Excellent advice.

Seeing them in 9 days. Can't wait!!!

They are currently on North American tour, so there are already a lots of not that great private recordings from cameras and phones, but you can still hear she's legit!

The intro of the song and the harmonies are taken from the original track. Yes. But the reverb you feel in the microphone is not a "computer effect" is processed inside the actual microphone.

She's not doing false chords (the cookie monster sound) She's actually doing a fry scream, she just has a naturally deep fry. You can tell it's fry scream by the tone of some of it and also because of how long she can scream words without excessive breathing. If she was false chord screaming you have to breathe in air about every 5 words as it requres a lot more air flow.. I recommend looking up "voice hacks" channel on youtube and look for the jinjer video, they have a good way of explaining her vocals.

On an interview, that you can watch on youtube, Eugene (the bassist) mentions that there's a delay and reverb effect on Taiana's vocals, she also says "I think they mean if I do other stuff to sound like this not the effects on the general voice sound" and she then proceeds to explain that it is through technique that she actually won't recommend to try without technique and that she developed her sound through time. Once mentioned that, Tatiana doesn't do lipsync. I have seen them live three times, she has the ability that she shows and reach deep and high notes on the range without problem. She does sound less clean when live than this one (you can check videos on their tour and live sessions from fans) but you have to count that his was f*ing Wacken Open Air and that this is actually the clip from the Wacken page which has post production in ALL cases. On concert you can tell there's no backing track with her, just the regular delay and as nobody does chorus for her (no one else sings in the band) there are some phrases added but not the whole song.

I heard her (Tatiana) said in an interview that she only growls when she sings a song. Not exercises or fancy techniques for taking care of her vocal cords than that.

I'm thinking boosted gain in the mic, delay, reverb, could even have a sustainer on it. These days you can get all those effects on a computer but also stomp boxes or rack units. pretty sure the harmonies are coming from a backing track. They've got ear pieces in and I'm sure they're playing to a metronome so when the backing tracks sync perfectly. Complex bands do that a lot. Nightwish has some videos where the sound guys show you whats happening behind the scenes like effects, backing tracks, its all mapped out on the computer through logic or pro tools.

Sam, you are my favorite voice teacher to experience watching. You give us so much more in your analysis than most others I stumble across. Thanks so much for giving us a deeper look into the world that you love so much!

The song is defending it's beauty ..even after this technical deconstruction ..he knows how , they simply did it ...

There are a few bootlegs of Jinjer’s performance at Wacken, and it DOES NOT include the back tracking. Her voice is still very rich, especially for the mediocre audio quality of the bootlegs, but the secondary vocals are added in post. Napalm Records, who posted the video, added the studio backings to the vocals after the show specifically for the video.

I seen a video of them live in a basement bar in Germany in 2017 and she sounds pretty damn close to this, amazing.

I can tell for this singer, along with Alissa White-Gluz and Angela Gossow. They don't hurt (or -didn't hurt-, since Angela doesn't sing anymore) their voices in any way by screaming. Arch Enemy goes on touring for months with 20, 30 gigs, several of them in consecutive days and the singer is just fine. Healthy screaming doesn't damage the voice at all when doing properly and it can be done in the long term like any other kind of singing.

After seeing them in concert a few days ago.I can't say I recall any of the harmonies I've heard in the video here.The sound was great but not as polished as this video. There wasn't any lipsyncing at the show. You could hear her take breaths and her voice would change a bit with certain movements etc.The switch from clean to growl/fry was seamless. I'm not saying she isn't getting any help from the sound board but just emphasizing that she's the real deal and that her voice is consistently performing at this level. As always I enjoy your videos. Thanks for doing what you do sir.

This.Woman.Is.So.Amazing.

I love your reaction videos! Also very informative - thank you

There is an original harmony track in the background, but only in the higher register notes. The rest is simply compression and reverb/delay.

10:22 LOL he just went from Patrick Star to Squidward

Yes pitch shifters doublers can do that but they do use tracks for timing and ti add in some harmonies

My favorite Jinjer song

I’m glad to see someone who understands how difficult it is to make some of these sounds, and how they’re made. One of the reasons Tatiana can switch back and forth between the cleans and screams so quickly and “effortlessly”, is due to the relaxation that was pointed out in the beginning. Tension tends to lead more towards a standard fry-scream, which can be harmful. But she’s using false chords/folds to get the distortion in a relaxed, easy manner. I know she has said she hurts her voice sometimes, but in general, it’s gotta be relatively healthy if she can still do it daily 10 years down the road.

The thought of her lip syncing never crossed my mind. And still doesn’t.

I do know that what you hear from her out front is in her ear just the same.(worked the show in San Antonio, her sound engineer handles all mixes with iPad) So picture having that mix coming thru your ear. She gets pumped knowing that she is getting some awesome reinforcement for what she is doing. You nailed your observation!

easily thte best female vocalist in the metal scene

Saw an interview with her where she says she doesn’t do a warm up, at all..... ever!

Fun fact: in a recent interview she said she doesn't actually do a real range warm up. She does sing some Bob Marley type tracks just to mentally prepare for the stage. While probably not the smartest choice, she always delivers.

Her vocals are UNREAL!!!!! You introduced me to this band! Can you please analyze Kimbra singing Plain Gold Ring live at Sing Sing Studios? I think you'll really enjoy it and I would love to hear your thoughts on her performance!

Wow a vocal teacher actually ANALYZING jinjers performance! You actually know what you are talking about. Not just watch and say wow she's amazing and that omg how does she do that lol. I appreciate your opinions and your analysis of this performance. Lots of good tips and insights. Keep at it bro. 🤘🏻

8:50 ive seen her live, that song has 2 tracked parts to make it sound more like the album version. The very beginning and this part

The harmonies that sound when she sings the clean parts are pre-recorded, but she sings the "main" voice live.

I never really fully understand what you say, but love all your reviews!

To your question Sam: There are live harmony generators that are very good, but AFAIK the software involved must be told the key of the song, and probably the chord as well (as far as I know, either you feed audio from a keyboard for example, and it makes it's best guess, or it'd have to be programmed say, to the tempo map/click track of the song), but I really don't think they're quite on the level of how those harmonies sounded, someday haha, but they definitely sounded like backing tracks to me. Plus all the other effects going on that you mentioned. Autotune Live is getting so good, and backing tracks so acceptable currently (especially with modern metal bands), when I see a metal/rock performance like this, I can be pretty certain that there was a lot of both going on here. It was just too perfect to me, even besides the obvious harmonies. I'm all for it, makes for a great show, which is the entire point of course.

I love Jinjer. Fun video thanks.

Love Jinjer cant wait to see them in Oct!

Love watching your videos.

What a goddess. Really enjoy your videos, Sam!

I really love that you react to different genres! And your explanations are so easy to understand even for people who don't know much about singing. After one of your videos I always want to learn how to sing properly. 😄 I know there are a lot of requests under your videos. I hope you forgive me for another one.😅 Could you please react to one of Shinedown's Live Room sessions? They are my absolute favorite band and I'm really curious what you have to say about Brent's vocals. No problem, if you don't. I'll happily watch other videos too, because you're making them so informative 😊

They are using backing tracks. To also make the guitarist sound fuller and stuff, a lot of effects and fills are in the backingtrack including the clicktrack for in-ears.

According to Tatiana in an interview, they use tracks pre-recorded by her and layered under the live mic to achieve that reverb and harmony sound in their songs.

I love that Sam is just getting into it!

There is 3 ways. One effect called doubled .other is harmonizer . And the 3rd is 2nd voice recorded. But jinger uses her effects by plugins connected by midi. So when the track reaches that time. The doubled and harmonized switchs on. You can do the same for guitar so I dont have to do tap dancing with the effects pedals. For the voice even the live voice 3 rack does this . Fyi

Sam I completely agree, I enjoy when the band uses everything at their disposal, making the show sound great (including effects). Jinjer is a super technical band, overall. Love your videos! Learning extreme vocals right now and this helps me understand a lot more about Tatiana. They said in a video that I watched before this one that they use a slight delay. So basically doubling her live. When they blew up this last few years the effects crept in more and more... I love it though. I saw her live in Edmonton, they were great!

I learned so much, great video!

I happened to be in a band that played a festival in Romania ~7 ago. They played also at that festival (they were not anywhere near as famous as they are now). We were stunned by how amazing she sounded live - and they are such a mature band now :)

Can you react to their song Teacher Teacher next? Saw a reaction video and she did so much with her voice!

I'm no expert but I will say this - maybe it's just myself, but I feel like a lot of people would lean towards instant negative judgment discovering that a band uses heavy computer manipulation on a live performance and say it's cheating and what not. You do a great thing embracing it and differentiating the vocal technique from the cosmetics put to improve the performance.

If you want to see more about here posture, in Juxgement (one take) you can see it perfectly. Great analysis, very interesting.

First I want to say how beautiful and decent and positive a person you are and honestly I just love listening to you being a top human. I don’t even know half these songs but I still click every time you post because you make me happy 💃🏻💃🏻 lol Would you mind doing one for a live Lewis Capaldi song? Someone You Loved is his most popular but I actually prefer some of his other stuff live, like Hold Me While You Wait or Fade.

You should come to Wacken some day, make it a vacation :D

Saw jinjer live. She nails it

Love the new Instagram Q&A segment!
