Have you figured out yet that I love VoicePlay? I've been saving this one for a while since it came out, and I finally had the chance to tackle "Valhalla Calling" - especially given the original composition is from my good friend Gavin Dunne aka the Miracle of Sound! I am familiar with Assassins Creed, and have seen Kirk playing through this one specifically, but more than anything is the music. I'm excited to see how this composition goes!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to VoicePlay performing "Valhalla Calling" from Assassin's Creed for the first time.

Great vid, Elizabeth 🙂 Writing a song that so many people want to cover has been a wild, bumpy journey. It has had upsides and also a few downsides; both in the business realm and in the more creative & personal realm. It has at times been a lot for a 100% independent creator to learn about & deal with, lol. But for me the good parts have mostly outweighed the not-so-fun parts, due to the simple joy of having inspired people. My 2020 Nordic folk-inspired original version will always be my favorite as I have such an emotional attachment to it, but the Voiceplay cover was definitely one of the most creative & interesting ones I heard

@Pandaemoni Год назад

I am glad to see someone (and many more in the comments) enjoy this version. I was just in a rabbit hole of people who decried it as "inauthentic" so this is a nice palete cleanser. Really, we know that all modern "Viking" is clearly ahistorical...and we do have a roughly contemporary Scandinavian song (from 1300...so a little too late) with musical notation in only one case that I know of (called "Drømde mik en drøm i nat"). It sounds sort of "typically medieval" with no drums, no throat singing, nothing very unusual. Really the question is "Is this a good song" which this take on Valhalla Calling clearly is.

Thank you for getting to this one at last! FYI - The costumes and makeup were essentially the same as for 'My Mother Told Me' - Cesar is wearing the robe that Jose wore in that one, Eli did the backgrounds in Unreal Engine again, the difference was that this was filmed in a VR studio with huge LED screen walls, rather than using 'green screen' - and the studio AC was down, so it was in the 90's during filming! Can't wait for you to react to Geoff's latest from the Hobbit, so the return of the 'characters' from 'Misty Mountains Cold'..! 😊

@candilunsford2878 Год назад

I absolutely love the creative risks VoicePlay is taking. Tackling some of these songs has really pushed the envelope for them and it shows just what they're capable of individually and as a group. Go back and listen to some of their songs when Eli first started and compare them to now--WOW. They were always great, but here lately they've been adding the exclamation points not just vocally but with set design, arrangement, costuming, etc. And credit to their hidden member Ed Boyer for his mixing genius.

@user-pv5hk6cz9w 11 месяцев назад

The best breakdown on the internet that I have heard. It is easy to miss something I. This very complex rendering of the song and to have all the elements picked up, only increases my appreciation of this version. This technical breakdown, along with the personal reaction, normally one or the other, is by far the best on the internet. My history with a cappella is very limited, but this just blows away that history and any previous experiences. Voices become the orchestra. Together, they produce a sound that not only blends through harmonies, but that can sustain the individual grit too, whilst exhibiting personal talent in a perfect group, from the base to the top notes. And then, there are ‘noises’ that compliment the singing voices, which along with the background, costumes and make up are defined and melded in post production to produce nothing short of a masterful epic, that is a masterpiece.

It's an awesome song and arrangement, but did you catch the visual story they told in that video? The main VP members start out in Valhalla with Jay in Midguard. He is shown facing an advancing enemy hoard. Then he joins the rest in Valhalla, and then they all go back to fight the enemy. I think that story is at least as entertaining as the sound and main song.

These gentleman always surprise me, just like you said Elizabeth ... I should be prepared by now but every time there's something new or a new way of expressing the music that just blows my mind. I don't know how they keep growing but they just keep getting stronger. As always thank you for the technical insight that you bring to all of your videos :)
