Vocal coach reacts to RIVERDALE I Carrie The Musical 

I tried a new thumbnail this time! I was inspired by thumbnails I see a lot from Kurtis Conner and Danny Gonzalez. What do you think? Too busy?

Love how the actor who plays Kevin ACTUALLY sings PROFESSIONALLY and they gave him like 2 lines

Fun fact! So the guy in the beginning that you really liked his vibrato, his name is Casey Cott. He is Corey Cott’s little brother. For those of you who don’t know who that is, Corey Cott is on Broadway. He’s an incredibly talented singer, and it runs in the family!

Casey cott must feel pain every time they do a musical episode lmao

I love Lili’s voice when she’s singing “Do me a favor”, also KJ’s dance is so hilarious omg

Hannah: they sound good here!! Archie: -starts singing- Hannah: -look of absolutely fear-

" They look like they were zip, zap zopping" is only a phrase you would hear theatre kids say haha

veronica: [sits on his lap] Hannah: 👁👄👁 ...this high-school man

The actor for Kevin started in theatre so he's professionally trained whereas the others aren't, that's why he's so good.

I think the weirdest part of this epispde is Cheryl singing a soprano song in a very heavy voice for some reason

I'm glad you acknowledged that Casey Cott has the best, most natural voice in the cast. He's so underused in the show, it makes me sad.

The reason kj is a bit off is probably because he is trying to sing in an American acsent because he is from New Zealand

I love how the only guy with Broadway training barely gets any singing time 😂

finally someone who finds KJ Apa's dancing hilarious as well. idk what the choreographers were thinking, but I can't watch that scene with a straight face it just looks so funny to me xD

Madeline actually doesn't have that bad of a voice! It's just what Riverdale actually chose to do....if you watch her audition for "The Prom" there's definitely difference! Edit: I know she's no broadway star, but Riverdale did her dirty

“This high school, man.” This is exactly how I’d describe Riverdale.

Mad respect for KJ Appa singing in an American accent ofjenciehfirijf

I never understood why Madelaine sounds like that on her solo song "Carrie" when she sounds so different and also so much better in every other of her songs..

"Yeah don't have a threesome in the auditorium" should be on a T-shirt. I would wear it to college and get into trouble. It would be funny. Ok I'm weird. Moving on. I hope you and your family are doing well? Much love to all. 🕊️💛

Listen to “I’ll try” from the first season of Riverdale. That is definitely where KJ Apa is using his normal singing voice and is sooo much better. I really do not understand why they made him sing like that.

6:40 he’s doing the classic “straight” male ensemble move 😭😭😭

You only get one line from Kevin, that's our only solace

Everyone seems to hate riverdale but I find it entertaining how bad it is

Lillie actually has such a nice voice videos of her singing without autotune on RU-vid really show how little justice Riverdale does her

I'm glad i'm not the only who noticed kj shoulders while watching river dale. I don't know how many times I replayed that scene or looked it up on you tube for a good laugh.

“that was something else, wasn’t it?”

The guy with the really great voice is Casey Cott (Corey Cott’s brother) and he went to Carnegie Mellon so he’s pretty well-trained! I wish they would give him more lines in these musical episodes.

Watching her watch never forget and she doesn’t realize that in the next scene someone is murdered

I love how you picked up straight away on the one person Broadway trained in the whole show on his first line haha

‘This highschool man’ we’ve all been thinking this at some point

The singer who’s vibrato you complemented was Casey Cott! He’s extremely talented and comes from a broadway background 😁

It would be so good if Hannah watched Carrie the musical (there are so many bootlegs online) for a bit of context on how the music actually sounds. Then she could compare and contrast. Her commentaries are amazing!

I'm glad that they didn't heavily botch The World According to Chris. It's one of my favorite songs in the actual musical, so it would've been sad to see it botched.

You should do a Part 2 on Julie and the Phantoms, because there's a lot of songs that you missed last time!

"There's Carrrie!" Who's gonna tell her -

Okay but Cheryl taking the harmony part in “In” when nobody was even singing the melody still is hilarious every single time-

Hannah: I feel like they make him go to low and he is not comfortable with it Corpse be like: That’s all you got? 👁👄👁

Ahh I love the quote “Yeah, don’t have a threesome in the auditorium” and it’s potential sequel of “Yeah, don’t give a lap dance in the auditorium” (for that bit in World According To Chris at 9:21)

Me waiting for her to listen to the song Carrie: 😳

The fact that you willingly subjected yourself to this.. that's dedication 😭

They all have good voices I think, just the directing isn’t always very good. I also think part of the reason why kj sounds kinda weird in the show when he sings is because he might be trying to sound American.

So they changed the key of the song “Carrie” to be lower for Madelaine; I’m assuming because either she or they were concerned about her hitting the high notes. Unfortunately, it definitely would’ve sat better in her voice in the original key. She could’ve done a lot better mixing in the original key (and more training). Yeah the rest of the musical is pretty good but that song is by far the worst. It’s a shame.

You should react to Flash: the musical. It has Grant Gustin, Melissa Benoist, Jeremy Jordan, and more. I want to hear what you have to say about it. Also I really love your videos.

Casey cott was on Broadway, so he is trained in musical theatre :)

Hannah when Cheryl sings “someDAY”: she’s really not going that low Me. A soprano 1. with barely any low range at all: *sings the note fine* yeah no based on my lack of a low range that’s not that low at all

I prefer Riverdale’s Carrie the Musical much more than Heathers.

She should do the third musical episode next lol

I believe KJ is a signer, you should react to him in the movie “I Still Believe”

Carrie the Musical is fun! Our community theater did a great job with it. Would love to see you review it as a whole, the off-Broadway revival is worth a watch!

My main critique with Riverdale's Carrie is mainly the song Carrie itself. They lowered the key a lot (it's typically a higher belt song) and it's also SO MUCH AUTOTUNE. I think that if they highered the key a little (still lower than the original key but higher than the current key) she would probably sound better on the song.

So this musical episode was better than the first you reacted to, but the most recent one was by far the best they have done.

Literally just over here binge watching your videos, and that “welcome” at the start completely made my day

you should react to “High School Musical The Musical The Series” songs!!!!!

This has to be the nicest review of riverdale carrie I have ever seen

"Who told him to move his shoulders like that?" XD

I honestly love Kj Apa’s voice he was in a movie called i still believe and i’ve been obsessed with his voice ever since

yeassss would love to see more of you reacting to riverdale musical episodes!!!!

My thoughts exactly when Cheryl was performing “Carrie”. She’s capable of great singing but something(s) is holding her back from singing higher in that song.

I was waiting for Lili's "you shine" 😟

I love how you start saying this is out of order while Madelaine Perch starts singing

THE SHOULDERS IM CRYING

You should definitely react to the Hedwig episode in season 4 next. There’s even more Kevin in it!

I’ll never understand how the Carrie episode was so good, and the other two musical episodes were an absolute mess of legendary proportions.

KJ’s shoulders omg 😂😂😂 that was hilarious. I love your videos, you’re one of the most helpful voice teachers I’ve come across :) Could you maybe do a whole video on larynx position and how to control your larynx? And also maybe one about tongue and jaw tension as well? I would love for you to talk about Ariana Grande’s jaw and tongue tension too, because it’s apparently really bad but I haven’t really seen many people talk about it and it confuses me because some people and coaches say jaw movement is okay and others say it’s really bad, so I would love your take on it!

Carrie actually made sense with the plot of the season it was in so I think the whole thing went better. Heathers, not so much.

me every time hannah uploads: “no no you don’t understand, i’m obsessed “

Kevin actually is a professional and sings SO AMAZING but just has 3 lines lol. They dont want Kevin making the other ones look bad. Also, when hannah laughed at Archie, she instantly gave me a smile too, shes beautiful 💕

I heard the guy in the beginning who you liked sing like one line in a clip of the Heathers episode (I think it was "What did I ever do to them?") and I kept replaying it because it was such a stark contrast to the rest of the episode in terms of skill

I know everyone likes to complain about the singing but that choreographer needs to get fired.

And the thing is KJ can actually go a little higher. If you ever watch the I Still Believe film, his voice has much better range in the songs they have him sing.

Literally every vocal coach is in love with Casey Cott's voice 😂

I'm brasilian, so I was like: OH MY GOSH!! LOL When show up portuguese subtitles in "World according to Chris" I LOVEEED♥️

Just want to say : What is going on with the background dancers during Do Me A Favor 😳

Even grown ass adults are laughing at KJ dancing hahaha lol

She’s definitely right saying that Casey and cami have the least auto tune they are def the best singers

Casey sings for musicals and did that before tv shows so that was probably why he sounds amazing as he usually does

You should react to high school musical: the musical: the series. Some of the songs were even written by the cast themselves and they where live performed for the shooting of it.

YESSS i’ve been waiting for this one

Casey Cott who played Kevin Keller is really a great singer. He's a theater actor and his brother is Corey Cott (broadway star)

it must have been so difficult for kj to also sing in an american accent. like i could never-

You should react to “Wondering” (Piano Version) by Julia Lester and Olivia Rodrigo from High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. This is the live vocals version of the song and these girls are truly amazing you’d love it. One of the actresses, Julia Lester, even learned to play piano specifically for this song.

I need a part 2 of Julie and the Phantoms with "Unsaid Emily" and "The other side of Hollywood" ♥️ please 🥺

“This High School man” same Hannah same

Tbh I think what makes “Cheryl” need more autotune is that her voice is very high pitched in the show , so they need to depend it without Madelaine breaking character

Omg, could you react to the Grey's Anatomy Musical episode?

I was LITERALLY looking for this the other day after watching your Heather’s one. This musical is SO MUCH BETTER

On my hands and knees begging for you to react to Riverdale's Hedwig and the Angry Inch episode. Casey Cott is Hedwig and he KILLS IT!

She smiled when see saw Cheryl omg I'm getting chills idk why 😌😁

You should totally react to Madeleine’s audition for The Prom! (to better get a sense of her voice)

Oh, you should really listen to 'The Destruction' by Keaton Whittaker from Carrie the Musical. You'll love it!!

I love watching you just talk about the singing 👏🏽

Carrie is one of my fav plays. I watched it first thinking it was a joke but it grew on me.

I'm so excited for this!! Carrie is one of my favorite musicals ever and I'm really excited to see your reaction 😂

Hannah, that sweater and lip color looks FABULOUS on you!!!!❤

Just the smile she got on her face when Madeleine Petsh started singing

I really love that shes not talking bad about tge actors but instead trying to understand them

Yesss I’m so glad you reacted to this

So what this has taught us is that Hannah should be present at every rehearsal for every Riverdale musical episode to help them all be comfortable with their voices. Also, big congrats to Casey Cott (Kevin, the one with no autotune) on his engagement!!! Another also, the zip zap zop comment had me taken out 😂😂

The guy whose voice you like is Casey Cott! I just saw him on Broadway in the role of Christian in Moulin Rouge and he was FABULOUS.

Is it just me or whenever they do the chair scene where there are all singing in the chairs I start laughing because of that one KJ blooper
