    ABOUT…
    I am Rebecca and I am one heck of a passionate vocal coach/singer/songwriter/impressionist/health/fitness/self- improvement/anything that makes me smile!! I love anything vocal/singing related and geek out on it every day. I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2017 and my ovaries and fallopian tubes. The tumour was the size of a 20 week baby!! However, despite not being able to walk for a couple of weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…?
    Also thank you for all your support. It means a lot.

That stuff were never taken serious. Only cheap ass Manowar copy in Finnish, many thought...Now the biggest record's from Him are christmas song's etc. Flawless singer, who should have broke through more bigger. Now His doing "stupid TV show's and things like that in Finland. Sad....such a waste of really good talent....

    Jari's voice is incredibly versatile. I'm not normally a fan of screaming and growling, but when you mix it up like he does, and it fits the areas he uses it, I really do like it.
    They're all crazy talented technical musicians. Especially Kai Hahto, who is a pure gangster on the drums. He's also the current drummer of Nightwish.

    Great reaction as always Rebecca! The music mastermind here is the singer Jari. He writes the music. In their first album, Jari played all the instruments except drums, so it was a two man band. Later came the other players, and now they even have another guitarist so Jari has been able to focus on only singing. He is mostly self-taught on singing and instruments. The drummer Kai Hahto plays currently in Nightwish, so Wintersun has another drummer, but since Kai is one of the most talented drummers ever, he will probably still play when they record albums.

      Reverb on the backvocals, different levels of compression, variation in attack and release on the lead singer, EQ according to the vocal style, and noise reduction on the cleaner parts.
      Their voices have effects, because if it didn't, they would be buried under the instruments. Not in any way diminishing their talent, tho.

    Been waiting for this reaction for... forever :D
    So, some (hopefully useful and interesting) background info: the blonde singer, Jari' Mäenpää has lost 40% of his lung functionality/capacity due to a TBC disease he's suffered when he was in (mandatory) military service, he still has a great vocal range. However, this song does not show so much of this vocal range of his, you should try a song from The Forest Seasons album, the best choice would be "Loneliness (Winter)", and the Official Lyric Video (a song inspired by the death of the singer's father). Truly a heart-tearing song, will surely make you cry.
    Btw Jari writes all of the music and of the lyrics. Also, he is greatly (!) inspired by Devin Townsend (e.g. you can hear the Devin-ish wall-of-sound). He also wrote 2 albums for a band called Ensiferum (the first 2 albums which were released in 2001 and 2004), which are also worth a shot, but I'd strictly recommend the studio versions as there are barely a few normal quality live videos with Jari, he's left Ensiferum in 2004 to create Wintersun - and the newer live versions of those songs without Jari don't perfectly reflect the original atmosphere.
    Oh, and yes, the guy with the green guitar, Teemu Mantysaari gives lessons :D They now have another guitar player, because Jari decided to contentrate 100% on vocals, and they needed someone to play Jari's guitar parts... so they got a guy, who's also been a friend of them for a few years, a great guy with beautiful voice and stunning guitar technique, Asim Searah... he also gives lessons, both via Skype as well :)
    It's still astonishing that you hear those tiny vocal parts, melodies and background-layers that most people don't even care for :D This is why I always return to your channel.
    Have a great day!

    If I had to choose my top 3 favourite Finnish bands, these would be Nightwish, Insomnium and Wintersun. Speaking of Wintersun, when I first listened to them a couple of years ago (they'd just released their third album, "The Forest Seasons") I immediately fell in love with their music. Jari Mäenpää is truly a music genius. It's a pity he can't publish albums more often due to the lack of his own funds ("The Forest Seasons" came out thanks to a crowdfunding project)... But I'll keep on supporting them as one of the most talented European bands of all times.
    If you're interested in digging deeper into their music, check their first album, "Wintersun". The sixth song in the album, "Starchild", is considered one of the best songs Jari has produced (and it may be my third favourite song of the band after "Awaken From The Dark Slumber (Spring)" and "Sons Of Winter And Stars"). Lots of love from Spain!^^

And yeah, Jari does have a scary, toothy face that he makes sometimes, but we love him anyway. :) Awesome to see you react to them. Try Loneliness or Land of Snow and Sorrow for a bit of a softer sound.

    Jari lost 25% of his lungs to tuberculosis while serving in the army. Yet he pulls this off night after night. I recommend seeing Wintersun-Loneliness(Winter) It's his best vocal performance and really showcases his skills the best. He's insanely talented, the band in the video is one thing but each song on that album had up to 400 layers of orchestrations playing at once and the orchestral layer alone could stand alone as a very complex piece of classical music (they released the isolated tracks 2 years ago). Just phenomenal musician. ALSO, no effects on the voice. This is what he does _Live_
