VOICE COACH REACTS | Home Free... RING OF FIRE. I couldn't decide which version so I chose both. 

Imagine when Julia discovers The Misty Mountain with Peter featuring Tim.

Both Avi and Tim have an absolutely HUGE vocal range.

Who wants to listen to Julia sing? I know I would.

“That’s the ‘leave your number with my secretary look’” 😂

"He is on a G1, sweet baby Jesus" LMFAO, I honestly don't know that make me laughs so hard but it did hahahah

Every time Tim goes low we see a woman’s “O” face

Great..first reactor that compared the two versions. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

"It's like tsunami after that last note". I bet lots of ladies feels like that 😅

Had a tenor voice teacher tell me how in all the musicals, the tenor gets the girl. My bass response: not behind stage.

The live version was their first ever performance of the song. They arranged and practiced the performance in a week. Just. One. Week. Harmonies, runs, the theme break, everything. That they managed this performance in so short a time is hell impressive. The studio performance was months later, so no surprise they polished the performance somewhat. Oh, and F#1. He can go lower. Tim's lowest chest note is a nice, clean F1. He can growl out a B0. His falsetto tops out some 5 octaves up from that. Not sure Tim is actually human.

I like to think of Tim as rich, strong black coffee, While Avi is deeply dark coffee with cream.

“Do you hear what I hear” is something I strongly recommend

If you like Tim singing high, try "Mayday" Home Free Cover. :)

I cracked up at the "Look mum, I can sustain!".

There are 3 songs you need to do 1. Home free cover of Mayday 2. Home free cover of Elvira featuring The Oakridge Boys 3. Peter Hollens cover of Misty Mountains featuring Tim Foust

The live version didn't exist before this sing off, they chose the song and had about 10 hours to come up with this arrangement. This was their debut of Johnny Cash's song. The first one you played w/Avi was much later.

"the voice is connected to your mind so if your mind is slightly stressed your voice will be slightly stressed" welp, time to find a new hobby

Their “auld lang syne” is pretty great

I just love your insights. They’re spot on, you catch things the first time, you love your work, and you have the best hair on RU-vid!

As good as this is, they keep getting better with each new release over the yrs! It's amazing!! All their arrangements are incredible!! Love these guys! Loved the analysis!! Thx!

The facial expressions she makes are priceless

Great reaction. Very interesting. Love Avi Kaplan's solo work..what a tone he has in his voice!!

You pointed out that Tim hit a low G in the first one, but you didn’t seem to notice that the live one was a half step lower so he hit an F#!

The collaboration between Home Free and the Oak Ridge Boys for Elvira is phenomenal. Absolute 🔥🔥🔥

That last note in the live version is F#1, versus G1. This was the birth of that version. They only had a few days, during the show, to pick out a new song and create an arrangement for the next broadcast.

wow! got here 10mins after! I love that you decided to check both version (shame that you did not see the judges' comment) And I agree, Tim is such a show off, since he knows he has the skills for it. (I do love his facial expressions and his sense of humor) This is one of my fave of their performances in Sing Off. They featured the bass (Tim) a lot since they're country but Austin, Rob and even Adam get their chance to shine. This is what I like about this group, everyone is talented and you know they love what they're doing. They are really classy and sexy at the same time.

I love your reviews - they are so on point without ever being over-bearing - which takes real skill. I find your insights and commentary every bit as interesting as the vocal performance - so very, very well done Julia!

Thank you for a great reaction to both versions. I have listened to these many times, and I always learn something new when I listen to voice coach reactions

Beside the as-always-great analysis, your facial expression at time mark 1:58 would have been worth it all alone ;D

Not only was there more stress because it was a competition, but they developed the arrangement as part of the competition, and the “studio” version was done later, rather than the other way around. So they had the opportunity to refine it for the “studio” version. Both performances were absolutely brilliant. Also, I remember during the Sing Off thinking, “For a show about live performance, their sound engineering isn’t as good as it should be.” It was a bit of a shame because there were some amazing performances that would have stood out even more! Awesome review as always. Thanks.

So glad you included the Sing Off version! I was hooked on that show and their performance was one of my favs.

I think it is great that you did a reaction to both versions, Julia! I enjoy how in depth your written comments go without breaking the flow of the first time reaction to the songs! Also your example of how they did the arrangement of the harmonies was great. Not to mention that it sounded amazing! Would not mind hearing more singing examples!

The live was also in a bit lower register, maybe half a step. That audience's guts were rumbling at the end for sure.

Love how you put commentary in text while you are clearly enjoying the performance. Again your production values are amazing. Please look for Tim Foust & Peter Hollens singing Misty Mountain. Great breakdown of the technical aspects of the performance that as a layman I heard but did not really understand. Keep up the good work.

Great breakdown of the two videos! Love your enthusiasm and energy. I hope to see you doing more reactions to both their videos and those of Pentatonix. I am definitely going right now to check out the list of videos you have reviewed. :-)

Hi Julia! I just discovered your reaction videos and channel over the past couple of days, and I just want to tell you that you have immediately become one of my favorite reactors. (And of course I subscribed.) I absolutely love the way that you blend your verbal comments, your printed comments on screen, your knowledgeable musical observations that don't at all come across as haughty or with a "look how smart I am" vibe, your appreciation of the incredible music you're listening to, your delightful and appealing personality, and simply how fun you are. :) It also helps that you're reacting to some of my favorite groups like Home Free and Pentatonix. Thank you so much, and please keep 'em coming! -Todd

In addition to live vs prerecorded, the Sing-off performance was 2013. I think Home Free has improved over time.

I saw Home Free live in Melbourne last year, and yeah they're amazing live. Highly recommended. I also saw Pentatonix live in Melbourne a few years earlier, back when Avi was still with them. Also a fantastic live show, also highly recommended.

Really like the way you do these reviews. With the comments on top of the pictures which allow you to give a lot of information but not interrupt as much. Wish more people did this!

Uhg 3:30am here in Texas. Very nice reaction! I liked the breakdown and comparison of the live and studio.

Damn these guys are phenomenal!

The“ you can leave your number with my Secretary"look killed me :D

I AM SO HAPPY YOU WATCHED THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO MORE AND DO VOICEPLAY! IM WAY TOO DAMN EXCITED I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!

I subscribe to a few other vocal coaches/teachers but I find I'm learning more from your channel due to your wording and demonstrations. Thank you and keep up the great work. Stay safe !!

I should have realised the ladies like the deep voice 30 years ago... oh well, mine wasn't as deep then as it is now

What a great reaction, I would love your reaction to (all about that bass) cover You’ll have lots of fun

I sincerely appreciate and enjoy your breakdowns of the arrangements! It's really interesting to know the mechanics behind those "Oooo that was cool" moments. Thank you for posting!

I liked your comparison of the two versions. They’re both great. I like the way you put notes above the video. It’s an informative way of passing your thoughts without so many pauses for copyright restrictions. I just went ahead and subscribed. I really enjoy when vocal coaches react to acapella groups. You can point out so many subtle things that an untrained ear enjoys, but doesn’t pick out.

also to note that the recording was a few years after, so their improvement is also quite amazing.

Loved your reaction and insights, as always. Would really love to see you react to both Voctave (perhaps Mary Did You Know feat. Mark Lowry, the original composer, or their Disney Love Medley feat. Kirstin Maldonado and Jeremy Michael Lewis) and Voces8 (both Sound of Silence and Shenandoah are fab). These are both acapella groups, but are much more classical in style and sound (especially Voces8). They also have two of the most beautiful and sensitive sopranos I've ever heard, and are both wonderful rabbit holes of musical bliss to disappear down into.

Love, love, love your reaction videos!

That was more than awesome depth. I've always envied a bass voice like that. Watching your reaction to that power is fun too. Your voice is enjoyable too. I like your chord, blending those parts.

Agree with many of the others comments on here. Please try Mayday. It really does show how versatile they are. They a truly a great group of singers and of course Adam the human drum kit! Great review!

A brand new cover of Folsom Prison Blues by Homefree just dropped and it rocks

I love how you give definitions and additional info on screen while you're reacting. It really helps us lay people understand what you're talking about.

Julia, it is so very, very interesting to listen to your reactions! As a completely non-music trained person who just loves these guys, I appreciate and enjoy learning from you! My favorite from Home Free is How Great Thou Art. I hope you devote one of your superb analysis to it! Thank you!

You should react to Home free's "Elvira", and "How Great Thou Art".

for wonderful home free harmonies: "how great thou art" and "helpless hoping" and edited to add "auld lang syne" has great harmonies as well.

Thank you for doing the comparison to the popular studio version with Avi against the live version. I haven't seen anyone else yet who has done this. Your analysis was thorough and spot-on.

I love your videos!!!!!!! Watching your love for music and ur fire inspires me

SInce you did a reaction of Home Free doing a cover of a Johnny Cash song you should do a reaction of Cash doing a cover of Nine Inch Nails hurt. Warning have a tissue. This version of the song is a hard kick in the feels. This is Cash's last video. Reznor praised Cash's interpretation of the song for its "sincerity and meaning", going so far as to say "that song isn't mine anymore."

I don't know how low Tim went on the live version, but I am pretty confident that it was lower than on the video version. With the headphones I use, I had no problem hearing that final low note on the video version, but was barely able to pick it up on the live version...

I've seen them live and I enjoy your reaction to them. They never cease to amaze me and neither do you.

the timbre of your speaking voice is so relaxing,and you know your stuff,your vids are a good learning source and makes me super zen..good combo

I'd like to see what you think of one of their originals. My favorite form their latest album is Catch Me if You Can. I don't sing well any more, and have lost an lot over the years. It's nice to listen/watch your videos. Some of the coaching I had comes back. Thank you! ^_^

Tim Foust does a cover of "Can't Help Falling in Love" where he shows off his higher register as well as his lower.

There's nothing like seeing them live....Tim's low notes rattle in my chest and almost hurt! For pure harmony, I would like to recommend Auld Lang Syne. So beautiful.

Beautiful reaction. Always a pleasure to hear you react to awesome singing and music. Thank you.

Home Free is amazing and everyone loves Tim's deep voice, but if you want to see something special check out their version of Mayday. You'll get to see Tim do his high notes and it's weirdly great.

Hopefully you check out their Sing Off with Filharmonic from this show, I think it would blow you away! Great reaction, this was fun!

Your reactions are so emotional. Experiencing your reactions is like experiencing poetry. It is said that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. Well, your reactions will be a source of joy, as long as the videos last.

thank you Julia, I discover this version, it's just great

JULIA !!! PLEASE PLEASE react to their cover of How Great thou Art....none of the Vocal Coach Reactors have done this, I cant wait to see what one of you guys think of it.....by the way the live version was actually 1st then they did the studio recording

I think you should checkout Home Free cover of End of the Road Boyz II Men cover. I think I like Home Free's version better and I LOVE Boyz II Men!!!

I need videos of you singing some awesome songs! GOD DAMMIT, I felt that voice!

Thanks for showing both terrific versions.

Julia's reaction to Tim's lowest note in the studio version is by far the best that I have seen out of all of these reactions, she loved it lol

Would love to see you listen to misty mountains by Peter hollens and Tim foust afternyour reaction to his deep ending note in this song lol trust me you'll live it from a fellow Aussie girl here 🙂

Nice! Glad you did the live version.

Love your energy!

The difference in placement/twang between Avi and Tim could be, at least partly, because Avi is from California and Tim is from Texas?

Dear Julia, similar to Dimash having a range of over 6 octaves & possibly as much as 7 Tim has a range of 5 octaves.

I love your visual description of that last note -- perfect!

Really enjoy your reactions. You have a great voice too!

More home free 😁 They has just released a new song on youtube: Folsom prison blues. 😉👍 Or then new goup: Voiceplay - Oogie boogie`s song 😉

11:10 "That's that you can leave your number with my secretary look." Dayum girl, you aren't supposed to tell the truth like that!

I loved your breakdown of both of these.

Thank you for the unison split to harmony demo! I've never had an ear for pitches and harmonies and chords and keys and such. But I'm trying to learn. Not only was it an educational demo for me, but hearing the three combined video Julia's was so pretty it melted this views heart a little. I have to start looking into your personal recordings for more of that!!!

They're amazing live! Unreal Tim literally shakes the place

I've seen Home Free live twice and they are INCREDIBLE 😍

Enjoyed this reaction. Good blend of knowledge and enjoyment. Like the text explanations even though I didn't follow all of them. New subscriber.

I love that moment when we get to see a true vocal coach sincerely touched by a performance arranged well and executed well while still breaking it down as a pro... I think this is the joy that happens when your work is also your love. Danke darlin' once more.

I love your explanations ! Very precise and understandable. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Lovely and informative. As always. :)

I've seen Home Free live quite a few times and when Tim hits this low note in Ring of Fire - the vibrations you can feel is INSANE. I can't even explain how awesome these guys are!

Love listening to your thoughts Julia. Gives a new perspective and something else to think about.

Awesome low notes by Tim and Avi..love your reactions so much..gives us great knowledge about the vocal techniques they are using..

Both. Both is good. Good choice! And loving such an in depth analysis, examples, and simple explainations for even someone like me who doesn't know terms specific for singers! Great job!

I just found you through a recommended video from watching some Home Free. I just watched both Home Free videos. Im definitely subbing

I like the text in this video. You explained a lot more than man of constant sorrow. As a layman this video was way more accessible for me in terms of what jargon you were using and know just what the hell you meant. Love ur videos.
