Vocal Coach Reacts! Voiceplay! Little Mermaid Medley! PATREON FAST TRACK REACTION! 

Great reaction! Yes Geoff was Ursula, J-None was Sebastian, Rachel was Ariel, Eli was Flounder and Layne was the chef. Rachel Potter actually played Ariel at Disney World for 5 years so she had a lot of practice. Yes, Layne who did this arrangement as well as Geoff who does arranging for them too have both said that they do multi-tracks when they record. They said they do this to thicken the sound. Another great cover to check out is their cover of Dragonborn Comes and Rains of Castamere from Geoff’s solo channel.

Please look at their wicked medley it’s amazing

Well, I see you've already done 'Oogie Boogie's Song', but VP has three more Nightmare Before Christmas videos: This is Halloween, Kidnap the Sandy Claws and What's This? Plus, as a VP patron, I can tell you to keep an eye out for their upcoming release, it's definitely Halloween fodder! I think you might also put their "Friends on the Other Side" video into that category. If you're looking for more of their Disney stuff, I love their Moana Medley, also features Rachel Potter, and they've also done a fantastic cover of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto, the featured performer is Ashley Diane, who they've used quite a bit lately. That will also introduce you to their newest member (has been with them a little more than a year), Cesar de la Rosa, who is a fantastic addition to the group. Ooh, don't know if you're a 'Stranger Things' fan, but Ashley Diane also sings with them in a fantastic version of 'Running Up that Hill', definitely could get Halloween vibes as well from that. And if you'd like to listen to them deliver a beautiful, heartfelt, and melancholy love song, definitely check out their "I Can't Make You Love Me", a stupendous Geoff arrangement with no beatboxing and another fantastic vocal by Cesar.

Eli (the bald one) is an absolute beast try listening to Carry Wayward Son for more amazing stuff from him and the and Geoff have halloween videos which are brilliant ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You should check out their “Wicked” medley!! It features Rachel again and Emoni Wilkins and has J. None’s replacement Caesar De La Rosa. It might bring you to tears…just saying.

This was a terrific reaction and analysis to one of my favorites by them. You summed up Layne perfectly when you said mania and mischief😈! He arranged, directed, edited this piece and is responsible for Geoff being body painted in purple. If there’s an arrangement where Geoff is pushed out of his comfort zone, it’s a guarantee that Layne did the arrangement. Rachel is their most frequent collaborator and she absolutely nailed this piece, as well she should. She spent five years being Ariel in the Disney parks so she’s got those songs down perfectly. Eli probably has the most versatile voice and can change on a dime. Your analysis helped me figure out how he can do it so well, and I’ll be watching and listening a lot more carefully in the future. I have absolutely zero musical training, and learned a lot from reactors and analysts. You have a gift. You can describe vocal techniques that surely are complicated in terms that even I can understand. I have listened to this hundreds of times and learned several new things today. I would recommend you try their cover of Hoist the Colours from Pirates of the Caribbean 3. I describe it as a tapestry of sound. It is stunning. Different lineup as it several years later and the guest artist is Jose Rosario Jr who was performing in Hamilton at the time and was also a member of Rockapella. Although he’s listed as the featured artist, Eli is the one who gets all the stunning lines in this piece. They had aarrangedfor a different collaborator to take that part, but due to Covid couldn’t make it to Florida and Jose stepped in. Eli, being a team player, recorded the high tenor part and Jose took tenor two. Fun fact: Jose and Cesar Delarosa, who is the new baritone and appears in that piece, went to high school together and performed together in musical theater. J (Sebastian) was recruited by the U.S. Navy to sing with them and Cesar Delarosa is filling that spot. In 2020, their high tenor left and they have yet to fill that slot so have been using this time away from touring due to the pandemic to use a wide variety of collaborators. You mentioned that Geoff has been practicing certain techniques and now it comes into his voice without trying much . He credits David Larson with introducing him to subharmonics. David has a rather lengthy explanation of subharmonics and how to use them and has remarked that sometimes he slips into them without even realizing it because he’s done them so often. I’m guessing that that’s how Geoff achieves that gorgeous resonance without even trying hard anymore. It’s a great video even for people who don’t understand 2/3 of what he’s talking about.

Their Wicked medley is REALLY good if you want more theater-type stuff. Arranged by Geoff. For just plain fun try If I Were a Rich Man and Sh-Boom (50s sound). They've done some great video game theme songs (Skyrim and Halo). Some recent Pop and TV songs. You've got a ton to choose from!

The Charismatic Voice has a video where she interviewed Layne and he talks about arranging their Moana Medley.

Sam: "I'm sick and I'll sound like a dying cat" 3 minutes later: 🎶🎶 😳

"Grim Grinning Ghosts" by Voiceplay is another great Halloween choice! ... Guy

I would absolutely love to see you react to more Voiceplay, they are my favourite.

Just found you because of Voice Play (always here for VP!)... and this is the best analysis of Little Mermaid I've seen. You noticed so much that other reactors have missed. I enjoyed it and learned from it!

First time seeing one of your reactions. It just showed up in my recommendations. I am a huge Voiceplay fan. They have all kinds of songs to fit whatever mood you're in. Just Sing was done during quarantine and features old members and collaborators. It should be watched with captions because they will tell you who everyone is. Also with Geoff and Voiceplay's videos always watch until the patron screen because they sometimes have fun little outros. A good Geoff song would be his cover of Way Down. Voiceplay has done several songs from the Nightmare Before Christmas and they did Grim Grinning Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion. Their Friend's on the Other Side would also be a good one for Halloween. On Geoff's channel he has The Headless Horseman and Monster Mash.

And we all know Geoff's crazy abilities, but Eli (Ell-lee - the bald tenor) is just as talented. He can do any style... from a raspy rock tenor to the smooth sound in this video, and kill them all.

It’s awesome to see you back on Voiceplay! I’d love to see you react to Dragon Born Comes by them. It blew my mind how low Geoff got and how high Eli got

Such a fun reaction! There’s so much great voice play out there - Hoist the Colours broke a lot of reactors, and their Dream On cover has some incredible tenor moments. Their Queen in Five Minutes is an older one but has some amazing moments, especially from Eli

Halloween's coming up! I know you've reacted to some of their halloween stuff but last year they did Friends on the Other Side from the Princess and the Frog. It's AMAZING and features Jnone, the guy who played Sebastian in this. Also check out Geoff's Halloween video from last year, the Monster Mash.

This medley was my introduction to VP, and still a favorite. I was thrilled to see you had reacted to it. Looking forward to future VP reactions, as yours always bring out something new. Thank you!

What a great analysis! A little piece of business at the end that a lot of people miss is J.None stealing Geoff’s line “Sing it with me now,” and Geoff’s double-take. Lots of little stuff like this in this piece-you caught most of it, and I love the explanation of the techniques employed here. Anyway, Gosh, you should definitely check out “If I Were a Rich Man/Girl,” “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” (I know, done to death, but as usual, these guys just nail it). And yeah, Geoff’s solo work is worth your time. Also, I would love to see you check out The Bass Gang’s recent cover, Bones, by Imagine Dragons. This is a newer group, 10 songs out to date, but all the members have their own channels and some really superb solo work as well. These guys are, as you might guess, all bass singers with insane range. I’d love to see what you think of them.

Their new cover I can’t make you love me is amazing but anything by them is always incredible.

Loved watching your reaction! Voiceplay did a great version of Superstition. Jeff also did a fabulous version of Monster Mash and the Headless Horseman. All of those would work for Halloween.

Loved your reaction!!! I hope you do more VoicePlay soon! ❤️

As part of a Disney reaction playlist, I'm amazed he hasn't yet reacted to Peter Hollens' "Epic Disney Villians Medley" with Whitney Avalon. Should be right up his alley.

Thank you Sir for a wonderful reaction. It was very informative, and I even learned some new things about how they were singing this one. Keep up the good work.

Really enjoy your explanations of what they are doing. The more I learn, the more I appreciate Voiceplay. They go all out for Halloween - try any of the Nightmare Before Christmas covers, or Friends On the Other Side. Many, many good suggestions already given.

I enjoyed your reaction and analysis and subscribed in hopes of hearing more VoicePlay on your channel. You might enjoy their Greatest Showman medley and their Wicked medley. Both feature Rachael.

i've watched many reactions to the video and yours is the first where you actually broke down certain aspects such as them doing multiple tracks over each other so there is more than just the 5 voices going, which i haven't seen anyone else do on their reactions, so awesome job pointing that out to those of us who have no clue that is happening. Great job.

Your analysis is awesome! A great Halloween song by Geoff-as a solo artist-is The Headless Horseman. Absolutely amazing. As for Voiceplay, check out Host the Colours, and Carry On My Wayward Son.

They have an amazing cover of Hoist the Colors from the third Pirates movie. But for me, just about every cover they have done has been amazing.

Lovely reaction. I love Geoff too but also all the members of the group. They are all amazing singers and actors. And yes, Geoff has a low speaking voice too. :) To the best of my knowledge, after Geoff or Layne have created the arrangement, and sent the parts to the others, (I know Geoff has to sing each part to share them, I don't know how Layne does it) then each group member records their part seperately at home. Those are then sent to whoever did the arrangement who then has to put them all together on computer and edit. It's a complicated carry on. Once they have the vocal track they come together and film it. That's a whole other carry on often requiring many takes on occasion.

Did you catch (at the end) the look Geoff gave J.None when J. "stole" his "sing it to me now" line?

I concur with all the songs suggested but there is another option, The Phantom of the Opera, with Rachel again. It is lovely, doesn't have the variability of this one or Wicked which would also be appropriate as close into Halloween. J None (Sebastian here) is now in the US Navy. Last year after getting through boot camp, he had some leave and came back and took the lead in one of my very favorites, Friends on the Other Side.

For Halloween songs by Voiceplay - Check out Kidnap the Sandy Claus, This is Halloween and What's this. Otherwise there are many amazing songs by them - Wicked Medley, Hoist the Colours, Carry on my Wayward Son, Dream On, My mother told me, Running up that hill, we don't talk about Bruno, Good 4 U, If I were a Rich Man. From Geoff, definitely listen to Monster Mash, Way Down, Sixteen Tons, Blackbird, far over misty mountains cold, Shenandoah, Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, The rains of Castamere. In addition, also check out The Bass Gang (group of 4 bass singers) - Centuries, Yellow Flicker Beat, Iris, Mad World, the Emperor's New clothes.

Ursula is Geoff which is why he is purple. Eli in the yellow shirt plays both the seagull and either Flotsom or Jetsom (the eels) the other fellow J None plays the crustacean and the second eel. Layne is the chef. Rachel actually worked as Ariel at Disney for a couple of years. Love to hear you analyze Wicked (Geoff's project) with Eli, Layne, Cesar (newest member), Geoff, Rachel Potter and Emoni Wilkins (both guest vocalists).

Great reaction Please react to voiceplay kiss (prince cover)please Eli (bald guy) is a tenor and he is crazy in this song

This is the first of your reactions I've watched, and I'm subscribing in hopes that you indulge in lots and lots of VoicePlay and Pentatonix (and Home Free, but I admit I'm not that into Country). Too many reactors just "ooh!" and "aaah!" and while that's about my level of knowledge, I love the technical information that you, along with the Charismatic Voice and Jennifer Glatzhofer give us. Looking over your playlists, I note that you have a few Musical Theatre reactions. So ... VoicePlay has done a magnificent cover of "Phantom of the Opera" (again with Rachael Potter), "Fiddler on the Roof," a "Wicked" medley, and, as you like Disney films, another medley from "Moana." I also see that you did Kate Bush "Running up that Hill" and I'd love for you to watch the VoicePlay take on that song, which is just REALLY good. I don't even know where to START with Pentatonix videos - they have over 200 and they are sooooo good. Just take their catalog, throw a dart and you'll love whatever it lands on.

Great reaction, and how can you sing so lovely when ill. Hope you feel better soon. For halloween songs VP have done Oogie Boogie Kidnap the sandy claws This ia halloween Whats this From nightmare before christmas although the last one is more christmassy i guess. They released Friends on the otherside at halloween as well and further back Grim Grining Ghosts Geoff has a couple of halloween songs on his own channel, monster mash, headless horseman

Miss your voiceplay reactions. They have put out some really really great ones since this.

Beautiful reaction and analysis! 👏👏👏👏 I am so happy you went back for Voiceplay. Hopefully Homefree is next in your acapella journey. 😊

One of my favorite Geoff songs is his version of Shenandoah. It's so pretty 😍

Poor plant! Blamed for all the evils of this world! 🤣🤣🤣

VoicePlay's Halloween stuff is absolutely amazing, yes. The latest, In The Hall of the Mountain King (yes, *that* In The Hall of the Mountain King) is fantastic (literally, as well as in the more usual sense). They've also done four numbers from The Nightmare Before Christmas, three of which are more Halloween than Christmas, and all of them are great. Geoff's cover of Monster Mash is wonderful, as well.

Poco que agregar, un magnífico análisis sobre un espectacular trabajo ¡ Gracias, gracias, GRACIAS !

I have been sick all year too. Very unusual. I also planted purple shamrock. So i think im on board with your theory.

This one is good, but I think the Moana medley is one of the best medley's they've ever done

Great reaction! So detailed!

Lovely seeing at the end. I don’t think I’ve ever heard your tone so dark before, lol.

Loved your exit😁

Thank you for another great reaction to Voice Play. I love how you explain what they are doing with their voices while using your own singing voice. You make it so easy to understand. Please please please do a reaction video of Voice Plays cover Friends On The Other Side. Spooky good & very theatrical. You will love it. Wait till you hear Geoff's earth shattering low bass notes. Another great cover song is Superstition done with a mild theatrical touch.

Rachel Potter did a mashup of Poor Unfortunate Souls/I put a spell on you with Voctave...it is a must hear!!!

New subscriber...you are very impressive. I really enjoyed this reaction so much. Please do not allow your head to explode...we would miss so much if your knowledge and ability to communicate so well.

Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays cover In The Hall Of The Mountain King. As you may know it was an original repetitive symphony orchestra piece no words. Voice Play mimicks the music played by the orchestra & put their own scary Halloween theme to it. I think Eli & Geoff could sing opera. You will get the biggest kick out of their shenanigans in this one. Nobody does theatrical Halloween better than Voice Play.

13:10 Geoff's one is chest. Just breathy sound.

Coldplay - The Scientist (Official 4K Video) react please.

I enjoyed your analysis. You might be right about the plant by the way. Its an Oxalis and oxalic acid is poisonous to humans. Lots in rhubarb leaves, which is why we don't eat them. Maybe don't sit so close?

Please react to this is Halloween by voiceplay!!!

Dear Sam, would you kindly take another spin on the Angelina Jordan ride and react to one of her most recent releases, at age 16--a cover of Elvis's "Suspicious Minds" ? Please?

Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays cover song Dream On originally by Aerosmith. Voice Play does it better. They gave the song true meaning in their great theatrical way like nobody else can. Cesar, the guy with the big hair now a permanent member of the group is the one that hits the high note. For future references, always wait until the credits roll before stopping any Voice Play videos. You may miss something good.

Sam. Please please please. React to Gabriel Henrique’s lastest. Jennifer Hudson song. And I Am Telling You

Voiceplay are all good- but gender bent Ursula steals the show!
