Reaction to My Mother Told Me | VoicePlay feat. Jose Rosario Jr. - Metal Guy Reacts 

You could check out Voiceplay's Moana medley and Mermaid medley. Voiceplay's "Roadtrip" is hilarious 😂

Listening to Voiceplay is like listening to EDM. Everybody waiting on the bass drop!

If you want to hear more from Voiceplay with Earl who recently left then you should watch either their Queen Medley where Earl takes lead or Daddy Sang Bass where Earl has some fantastic high notes.

Just so you know, those “electronic” sounds actually all came from the beatboxer. He’s insanely talented.

Jose is a member of Rockapella, the OG acapella group from back in the 80s-90s that are still active. Geoff Castellucci is the bass, Eli Jacobson is the bald guy tenor; J None , black guy, baritone; Layne Stein is the vocal percussionist, he also sings tenor. J and Layne are also both very good violinists, I highly recommend checking out their cover of Warriors by Imagine Dragons, you get not just their amazing acapella harmony in that one but also Layne and J on violins, it's pretty awesome.

It was Geoff's war horn.

You need to check out Geoff Castellucci 's covers of Sixteen Tons, Blackbird and The headless Horseman.

Eli (bald guy) is the tenor, is pronounced Elly, as in belly. Layne (far right) is the beatboxer, also sings baritone, plays violin and arranges a lot of their songs. Geoff (bass) pronounced Jeff, sings anything from bass to tenor, he has a 5 octave range, and also arranges a lot of their songs. J.None (black guy) is a baritone and also plays violin. several of the members also can rap, several can do some beatboxing, and they all have ranges way past their "label". Earl was the high tenor of the group that left, so they are now only 4 members.

"That note" is a subharmonic F1. Like it's nothing. 😮

Viking Shanty!! Doesn't get any better!!! Everything is so cool!!!

Voiceplay 😏 The rest of us 🤯

Such a feeling of history experiencing this. It's like metal, back when it was bronze! Imagine boatload after boatload of guys looking like this, rolling up on your shore like a biker gang. Your entire way of life is about to change... IF you survive!

I love Geoff's "fog horn" bass. 😎

The other member was J.None, not Earl. Earl was the big guy with the beard in Oogie Boogie, he left the group last summer. You'll see him if you look at their older stuff. J is their baritone in this. He joined several years ago. If you look further back though, you might see Tony, who was before J. Tony left to start his own production company, which he runs with Layne, and VP has filmed several videos at their studio. Eli is their tenor (name is pronounced Ellie), and he has a killer rock voice. He also does crazy character voices, where you can't even tell it's him. He voiced Santa in Oogie Boogie, in fact. As for the video, I argue that it adds a theatrical element that is one of the best parts of VP. They have theater backgrounds and they like putting on shows. (They worked for Disney in Orlando.) This song was from a video game and it was as if they were characters in a video game. Or Norse gods/warriors. If I wanted to focus on vocals only, I could just listen to the song, not watch the video. Considering they do all their own arranging, filming, directing, etc., I think it's awesome when they go all out.

Geoff Castellucci can explore and showcase multiple techniques like subharmonic, growls, inhale notes and probably more. Geoff the master of subharmonic undertones. Out of the three I'm mentioning, Geoff plays with voice the most due to the sheer number of bass covers he makes. It feels like he's pumping out videos 2x a week or more. Tim Foust from master of 1st octave growls and chest notes. Literally causes speakers to spontaneously combust and fan cams of live events shake the phones and distort audio and visual recordings. Even without mic and no amplification he can still make many people feel slightly uncomfortable because those frequencies trigger a fight or flight response. Avi Kaplan has the thickest fattest vocal folds. Everything he says or sings is a physical assualt of my ears and brain. Also master of overtones. True bass that can sing 6th and 7th octave notes on top of a flat bass note. It's dark magic.

I'd definetly recommend Geoff Castellucis solo work! By the way, the backgrounds are meant to keep the original viking style of the song. When i remember correctly, Eli made them on his own in unreal engine, a video game programming software. I think thats pretty cool to know.

Over the last few years, since a cappella became more than just barbershop, I have come to appreciate what depth voices can bring to a performance. There are 3 groups who currently, although different in style, produce their own interpretation of a cappella that lift the genre to the heights. Voice play is one of them. They have to be the consummate professionals in timing and vocal performance, because they have no traditional instruments to cover any mistakes. Voice Play, in this song brings a depth of color and context to a simple Viking poem and wring every ounce of harmony out of the range of possibilities. Beautiful and precise delivery and chillingly gratifying result. Loved your reaction!

Earl left the group. Jose Rosario was the guest singer (tenor) that replaced him in this song. Jose is currently with Rocapella. The song is from an Assassin's Creed game Vikings period recently released and may be based on an old Icelandic song, hence the stomping and clapping. Jose was the man in the brown robes with the hood. The costumes and backgrounds reflect the travels of the Vikings, esp. Goeff's with the burning building behind him and J None's with the open fjord (listen closely and hear the sea). I am reminded of the movie, The 13th Warrior when I hear this.

I love that Layne is singing! He has a great baritone!

"Sounds like a Ship or Boat Horn" Like a... War Horn?

I have always loved this song and they did an excellent rendition! Thank you for the share

Sounds like a throat singer...you should check out The Hu...a Mongolian Heavy Metal Band....getting very popular

Daddy Sang Bass by them, you Need to listen to😀

Not going to lie, the way you reacted to Geoff's bass drop at the start there is just about what my reaction to it was, even as familiar with his bass drops as I am. Hands down, you need to watch Geoff's solo cover of 16 tons next. Like, if you love that bass energy he has, that is one of the best videos that he's done to really showcase his power (and range). But, I've also got to plug for Jonathan Young as well. He's got a lot of great work, but a good starting point is Hellfire or the Bells of Notre Dame. Though, heck, even his cover of In the Dark of the Night is great XD

for Eli, go listen to their other video from the Nightmare before X-mas with This is Halloween. Eli probably does 7-8 different voice ranges.

This song is from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. It is Viking shanty. During the game, when rowing , they sing the song. These guys done fantastic job.

Geoff´s look here kinda reminds me of Nergal of Behemoth. Awesome reaction by the way!

Me, I liked the costumes. Didn't need a lot of action in the video, but I like that they acted and dressed for the part. Particularly Eli had makeup and movements that were really effective. There's something about a man singing high, but with power and grit in his voice. He was fierce. (Eli's my fave among VP. BTW, his name is pronounced ELL-ee, not EE-lie as you would expect. I think his formal name is Eliezer, so that explains the pronunciation.)

You should check out Bang!

I am so glad you picked up VoicePlay for these videos!! So much fun

Everyone says foghorn, that's a Warhorn, if I was a foe-men and heard it, would head other direction fast. Voice Play always dresses for the song. You need to try Home Free. Catch Me If You Can or Man of Consent Sorrow, or Sea Shanty's

Earl is not in the video, as he's no longer in the group . J.None , Eli(think Elliot when pronouncing his name, not Elijah), Layne, and Geoff are their names. Jose Rosario Jr filled out the sound where Earl would've been, The beginning of the song started with Jose, Eli did the second solo, J.None the third solo, Layne sang the 4th solo(a rarity) and Geoff the last solo ending it with a F1, using subharmonics.

Voice play is amazing

Just saw this video last week when I was in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery. Absolutely awesome!!

Voice Play. "Dream On." Stunning!

Check out Geoff doing sixteen tons!! Awesome example of his vocal range!

Do you like 90's boy bands? They do a Boy Band Medley! It's very good!

freaking love this

voiceplay and home free both have two of the best beatboxers I know of, freaking amazing.

Adam Chance from Home Free have also sang this song with the; Hound + Fox. And it's my favorite version. Adam Chance have also singing some other songs with them. Please, hear it. This song is taking me back to the Vikings with King Harald and his brother

Listen to Geoff's far over the Misty mountains cold

Someone may have mentioned this-I’m coming in late. But this is a legit ancient Viking song, comes from Egill’s Saga (creepy story). So that’s why they’re dressed as Vikings. I actually like that, but I’m kind of into Vikings.

The low note that Geoff is using is to replicate the horns from the viking ships. This song is from the assassins creed valhalla game.

Sixteen Tons is awesome too. Geoff must work together with Heilung!

I liked the cold background! Since it is a Norse song it seemed to be appropriate and set the right image. Agree so much about the variety of voices working so well together. With Geoff's astounding bass we seem to forget the talents of the other members of the group. Big mistake!

Lane the beat boxer does the arrangements and mastering. also in this video he created all the backgrounds in the unreal video game engine

Would love to see you do a reaction to the bass singer from Voiceplay- Geoff Castellucci singing “16 Tons”!!!! It is great!

This song is a VIKING shanty, if you’d believe that!!

If you enjoy Disney, VoicePlay has some great medleys (ft. Rachel Potter). The Moana one might be my fav, but the Little Mermaid one is also good! They also have a lot of Nightmare Before Christmas songs besides the Oogie Boogie one that are great! Dunno if you've listened to any of Geoff's stuff, but 16 Tons is another amazing one.

Aren't they good? Layne the beat boxer generally does the arrangement. Fantastic reaction, as always 💙

Check out “ Hoist The Colours “ and “The Halo Theme.” You won’t be disappointed!

Eli pronounces his name like "El-eee". Check out Geoff Castellucci's "House of the Rising Sun"

sub harmonics delicious aint it?

Cool you did this finally

Like the Goosebumps edit my guy.

Another acapella group Home Free Sea shanty medley. It's really good

This is a well-known tune. It’s a Viking song, as a SEA SHANTY (so to speak). It’s featured in the TV series “Vikings”, and in video game “Assassin’s Creed”... www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1394194/Vikings-season-6-what-song-do-Halfdan-and-Harald-sing-my-mother-told-me

Sadly, I just learned from the Voiceplay page (minutes ago), J None is stepping down from the group. He's joined the Navy, I don't know whether he's always been Navy and he's been called to serve or if he just decided on a new sage in his life, but YES, he's gone

Voiceplay just released their cover of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters". An actual acappella metal song. This truly seems right up your alley! 😬

At 2:10 into the video when Geoff does that deep growl look carefully at Layne's mouth. I don't think his lips are moving like the others & he isn't beat boxing either. I think he is using his deep tone along with Geoff as he sometimes does do the under tones with Geoff. Layne sometimes uses his deep bass as well.

If you haven't heard Colm McGuinness' version of this song, you should 😁

I also found the video a bit distracting. If I’m not mistaken, Voiceplay comes from a musical theatre background and I think that shows in their videos. Talented group of a cappella singers though.

Do you remember the show Where in the World is Carman San Diego? ... Yeah Jose is part of Rockapella ...

you might also enjoy 'Hillbilly bone' By Home Free.. another amazing acapella group

Song from tv show Vikings

Voiceplay just came out with a cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters with the current members and it is really good.

You should listen to poor unfortunate souls by voice play

I just binge watched you haha! Haven’t found a reaction to the live performance from Demi to anyone at the Grammys, did you already do that? Her performance was out of this world 🥸

Don't you love it?? Ahhhh....

Took me a while to wrap my mind around the more modern arrangement with the many key changes. It was good but personally, I don't think it worked as well as most of their other arrangements but they set the bar really, really high with previous projects. One arrangement of theirs that doesn't seem to get a lot of love on YT is their Queen Medley. Earl took lead on it before leaving the group but everybody has quite a few moments to shine. It really showcases what they can do vocally and with the narrative. Highly recommend.

you missed his lowest note during the credits

OK, I didn't see Oogie Boogie Song in your playlist, an going to have to hunt it down now, lol

I think Geoff has a part time job as a fog horn.

Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays version of The Dragonborn Come. Geoff is off the charts amazing. They all are amazing. Their theatrical version is by far the best version ever.

Witt Lowry - Last Letter :)

They have recently released a sequel of sorts to this video called vallhalla calls me. You really need to check that video out

You should definitely try Nightwish - Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013

You should take a look at there Queen medley

Love your reactions. Did you know they just did a cover of Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters. I’d love to see your reaction. I think you’d really get a kick out of the arrangement

A suggestion to react to, Dude Perfect "Pet Peeves song". They are not singers but 1 day and already over 1.7 million. One question would be " Are some of these problems happening in your neck of the woods? There other videos are exciting and silly. Maybe look up on 'Google' about their names and faces. Just a video to enjoy (hopefully some of their 55 million subscribers might learn about reaction videos)!

You should watch their queen video!!

Definitely review George Ezra songs. Anything from his debut album (Wanted On Voyage) and his cover of Bob Dylan’s Girl from North Country.

if u really Like these guys check out their rendition of Tennesse Whiskey

can you tried to reupload your videos who got taken down ?

You think this video is “simple?” Oooookay. 😜 Just teasing you.

# request check out kidnap Santa Claus by voice play

You need to react to billies new songg

Ok, but, what about invade Northumbria?

How have you done THIS many reactions and NOT Listened to Nightwish's Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken with Floor Jansen. Even if you have heard it, you should 110% react to her. The Nightwish Army will take it from there.

it’s a viking song❤

u also need to react to Home Free. Tim Faust is as good as Geoff.

Sorry dude but Earl left the group awhile back. J none, Eli, Geoff and Layne. Only 4 members. They’ve been featuring special guest singers on their videos.

if u like Metal-Musik i really recomend Hypa Hypa by Eskimo Callboy. You`ll love it. But i have to warn You. Germans gonna swarm your channel xD

The only thing VoicePlay kills is most of the songs they try to sing.

COVID distancing at it's finest

Voiceplay technically is absolutely genius. But they are not perfectly suited for such a Kind of Song. They bring too much art in and overdo it. Check pur Voiceplays Arielle Medley. Absolutely Perfect Performance.

Can you please react to Miley’s cyrus’s lead single MIDNIGHT SKY off her recent album 💿 called plastic hearts 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😫😫😫

React Anitta - GIRL FROM RIO

no disrespect to Geoff but its like when girls talk to me, because their voice's go higher when they talk to the boy they like. Couldn't help myself, sorry everyone.

It needs to be darker. Good singing, just not the right song for them.
