I believe Scott Porter was the original beatboxer for Voiceplay. Also, when Geoff drops the B0 sub every reactor gets big eyed even if their brain doesn't register what they just heard.
You mean B0!
@@gonzalodecata136 yep. Damn typo
that B0 gives me chills every time
That Red team vs Blue team was done because Scott used to be the beatboxer before layne. So it is kind of a cool joking face off xD
I love that former members of Voiceplay come back as guests. Scott was also on the Voiceplay fundraiser video "Just Sing".
Any pauses between 20-30 is a great sign, your score today was 23😁👍
😂 thanks for the count
They have a combined total with Geoff's own channel of probably close to 200 or more videos......enough for a YEAR of 4 days a week 'weeks of voiceplay'....lol......love your reactions.
Make sure to watch the end... what Scott had to say is so important and touching!
I love your analysis so much. You and Peter Barber are the ones I always look to for your Voiceplay reactions because I always learn something. I can make my own astounded face when I hear them, I don’t need a reactor who only does that. Keep doing what you are doing.
Thanks so much 😁
I am pretty sure that VP and HF make each other better and make each other think outside of the acapella box all the more. WE are all the benefits of that. It's even better knowing that both groups are made up of just good people. Respect, respect, respect.
And they are great friends, always helping each other
It's a shame that groups like Home Free and Pentatonix are signed to major record labels and have teams of musical arrangers, managers, agents etc. It has obviously done wonders for them commercially but it means they have very little say/input in what they do (Tim Foust said in an interview that HF didn't want to just do country stuff, but were forced to by The Sing Off and are now kind of stuck there). Voiceplay are totally free and independent so they can do anything they like as regards music styles, arrangements, videos, guests etc which is why they are so much more varied and innovative in their musical arrangements and videos.
@@rosswhite5975 I agree. From a couple of their chats and interviews as well as comments from other fans, I get the impression that for the Sing Off VP was also pressured to get the female singer and fit into a nice neat little box.
I do think that Home Free is fortunate in that Tim does a lot of independent work as does Austin. They manage to still do some individual work which I think probably keeps them sane. Although I am not a fan of country music, I always check out what Home Free has done. Not e erything they do is so “country” that I won’t listen to it or put it on a playlist. They are so talented and I think they show as much creativity as they can within the confines of a record contract. The work they do I can connect with. I remember it and find myself humming it after I’ve listened to it.
Especially for Pentatonix I think that the record label has button holed them. I used to enjoy them but anymore it sounds sort of sterile. Very commercial and not so artistic.
(Before I get any PTX hate mail, I do realize that this is purely subjective. Art is in the eye or ear of the beholder. But I also know that I used to enjoy them a lot more than I do now.)
I’m not a musician - I don’t have musical training but I do know what grabs me. Their work is probably technically brilliant. It is very pretty. But at least for me, it is forgettable. It just doesn’t resonate with me.
@@janetdw yes, pentatonix are kind of what i always thought of acapella music as. Great singers recreating popular songs. Which is fine and impressive, but ultimately (for me) a bit pointless and not something I am going to listen to more than once. Whereas VP, with stuff like Hoist The Colours, really opened my eyes to what acapella can be, if you throw out the old rule book and do something really creative and clever. Home Free seem like really nice guys and are obviously great singers, so it would be interesting to see what they could do if they were 'let off the leash'.
@@rosswhite5975 I'd say the HF are pretty diverse these days. Sure, the do carry country well but, they have done a lot of stuff that from lots of genres.
I'm pretty sure Cesar hits a B7 when he goes up at around 11:30, you can hear this ridiculously high dolphin tone if you pay close attention. I haven't heard anyone but Dimash do that ever. Incredible stuff
Actually he slid from a B4 to a B5, which he only sang for a split second. You may be hearing a B7 in the reverb overtones because I picked up on that too
Mitch from PTX can hit a B7, too. Dimash hits the D8. Cesar is crazy good!
Totally enjoyed your analysis and reaction here. I especially liked your discussion of breath when referring to Geoff's supporting and sustaining the B0. I once had a voice teacher tell me to never take a breath. Taking a breath is a tight-shouldered upper lung-filling thing which doesn't allow good support. She said we should RECEIVE the breath like the gift it is, filling the lungs from the bottom up so we can easily sustain and support anything we sing. It really stuck in my mind and really helped me with my breath control.
Oooh thanks for sharing 😁
I'm not a gamer, so I had never heard of the game or the music. Didn't matter, it was breathtaking. When Voiceplay did Hoist the Colours, I thought that Cesar was a little over his head in the belting. The way he moved and positioned himself, it seemed like it was a definite stretch. Then this came out and I realized I was wrong. That doesn't happen very often, of course. Whatever he was doing in that aboriginal section was just amazing! Eli, with the high high note, Scott with the lovely baritone, Layne's gorgeous beatboxing, and Geoff and his scary lows. All fantastic.
The composer of the Halo theme watched their cover and left a comment saying it was legendary!!
Great reaction, Jen, looking forward to tomorrow and your next Voiceplay week - or maybe a Geoff week!
The gentleman they did this for was in the Boys Band video handing Earl the sandwich.
Another great VoicePlay performance! The arrangement is the real star here, I think. I'm a gamer, and video game soundtracks are offering some of the finest melodies, harmonies, and rhythms to be had out there. It's great to see VoicePlay highlight some of this fantastic music! Wonderful analysis, Jen. It's been a real treat seeing your inner fangirl come to the fore. :D
Thank you 😁
Enjoying reaction.
FYI: This is a video game theme
Martin O'Donnell is an American composer known for his work on video game developer Bungie's series, such as Myth, Oni, Halo, and Destiny. O'Donnell collaborated with his musical colleague Michael Salvatori for many of the scores; he has also directed voice talent and sound design even sung (Caesar's part) for the Halo trilogy.
The central focus of the franchise builds on the experiences of Master Chief John-117, one of a group of super soldiers code-named Spartans, and his artificial intelligence (AI) companion, Cortana.
The original trilogy centers on an interstellar war between humanity and an alliance of aliens known as The Covenant (hence red/blue teams). The Covenant, led by their religious leaders called the Prophets, worship an ancient civilization known as the Forerunners, who perished while defeating the parasitic Flood. Each sequel gets into more detail regarding the wars & alien beings.
A few things:
- Scott Porter I believe became in the video Master Chief John-117.
He has the build for it.
Reason? Notice how he's centered a lot in this video and ends the video alone.
[Understanding the CGI of the video game the sequels were animated using the CGI at the time, as each sequel came around, they became more advanced, smoother & realistic.
Watching the VoicePlay video with that in mind, see how it's becoming more animated, popping in/out & morphing into each other. It's not exactly detailed as Halo but it's good editing.]
- It would help if you listened to the original theme to hear how close they come to it even integrating the other sequels nuances into it:
th-cam.com/video/0jXTBAGv9ZQ/w-d-xo.html
--- Then re-listen to this with eyes closed.
They come darn close. O'Donnell got a chance to watch this video & was very impressed.
- Scott does sing, as he went to school with the other founding members. In fact he's one of the founders. He was the original beat boxer of the group not Layne. He taught Layne how to beat box.
One can hear Scott & Layne doing the blue/red teams section with their beat boxing sounds.
Scott's main focus now is acting.
He was in Friday Night Lights, The Good Wife, Hart of Dixie, Scorpion & Lucifer along with movies, episodic TV (Law & Order among others) as well having done voiceovers for multiple video games.
He's sung with them on occasion this is one of them.
Awesome reaction. This Halo theme is one of my favorites from VP. Geoff gets down to B0 in this. Absolutely insane.
E1, B0, E1, E1, B0 on subharmonics
Holy moly. You will often pause🙊. So many things happen there. Especially Layne and Geoff . It blew my mind. By the way Scott Porter was a original member of Voiceplay..i guess 12 years ago? Maybe...
Cool collab! A lot of fun. You will love it!
Scott was an original member, so that would be 1997. I believe he left in 2003 or so. So a little further back than 12 years. 😁
@@Debs_Badger thx Debs 😊
Love the reaction, and the analysis ! The only question I have to ask the universe about this is: When will some electronic games company ask Voiceplay to do their music for a new game ?
13:40 Also, with subharmonics, it's very hard to "waver" unintentionally without getting kicked out of the register... so there's that too.
For example, very few people are able to put vibrato on a contra-octave subharmonic (Bass2Yang is one of them)
So glad I’m not the only one who has trouble with octaves that low. I often think it’s lower than it is. You stopped it at the E1, but then he dropped to a B0 sub (it is definitely B0). Also, it’s more obvious in this but Geoff really has worked out how to sound like a stringed bass instrument-hard onset, often with some slides. So cool.
I really love Cesar’s voice when he’s belting/more connected -and I’m so impressed with the way he used his vibrato in that solo. I love that soft, whispery sound he favors as well, but I want to hear more of his full voice. 💕
Rest in Power, Rek.
Great reaction, Jen! Can’t wait for the next, and I’m down for more Voiceplay weeks!
Yeah that is sub harmonics for you making you think it's lower than it is
@@droid8472 still can't believe that it's a sub B0. Getting subs that low is so difficult and subs are hard enough as they are. Theoretically he can still go lower if he tried as his chest range continues to go down a bit more.
@@droid8472 subs definitely can do that, but I have problems with octaves even in chest at times. 1st and second octave. Geoff especially, and I think it’s because he really darkens his tone, but I’ve had the same problem with Bobby, Peter and Tomi.
This song is totally a dopamine boost for me. I have to be careful not to squeal everytime Geoff hits those subharmonics. I think he sounds like those gorgeous deep flutes of an organ.
u hv such an artistic visual take too... very gratifying obsrvations
This is the kind of song that you need to listen to straight through first, and then go back and pick apart. It’s so fast paced and the momentum is important
Its almost impossible to catch everything. You do catch most of the artistry first time thru. Wonderful reactions on their creativity.
Great analysis and reaction as always. I love this cover even if I have never played the game, but its OST is excellent. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's video!
I love Cesar. He is a force to be reckoned with. His range is amazing.
Please please please do a reaction video of Voice Plays latest cover song " In The Hall Of The Mountain King " As you may know it was created as a classical symphony orchestra piece, no words. Wait till you see & hear what Voice Play has done to this. These guys have too much fun together & Cesar OMG, there's not enough you can say about Cesar that describes his talents. He's got it going on as always.
Thanks as always for your good work.
Most excellent Jen. Love all your videos. Cheers
This is gonna be fun! I keep saying that, but you’re checking out some real doozies!
I've watched this several times, and as always with Voiceplay, I pick up on more each time I watch.
I'm not a gamer, so wasn't familiar with the music, but I love it.
This is a masterpiece. They raised the a cappella bar on this one.
That was so cool! They did such a great job! Amazing!😲
Loved this reaction. Love the VoicePlay cover.
Thank you 😊
Cannot wait for this
This one's probably my favourite voiceplay ones they've released. So much going on and all of its impressive.
I Knew you were Trouble/As Long as you Love Me Voiceplay- old but really done well
I think I found the inspiration for the video style... the video of Pentatonix' Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is very much in the same style, and predates this.
The Charismatic Voice did a reaction to this with the composer of the original!
While similar, that video editing style has been done before PTX.
PTX won a Grammy for it
@@ilesalmo7724 Yes I know. I’m not stating that it wasn’t affective, I was just clarifying that they were the first to do it.
I'm glad you finally heard it :) Fantastic reaction! Keeping fingers crossed for tomorrow's song. I know you're still missing some amazing arrangements/performances by VoicePlay ;)
Makes me want to play it again
7:30 sounds like Jazz scatting really good.
Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
And you!
That was fun!
Great reaction as always. You should watch The charismatic voice reaction to Halo..it is co- reaction with the writer of the Halo theme. It is fun watch.
I haven't seen any reactors pickup Caesar's overtones 🤷♀️ He's amazing!
You should do "My Mother Told Me" if you haven't yet.
I don't know if this has been mentioned but Geoff hits not one but TWO B ZEROS in this which I believe is his record lowest.
please do the reaction for the queen 5 minutes this song is very good😎
Having watched most of her acapella reactions, the one thing I can say for sure about Jen is: She will be an excellent teacher and coach, because she is not a natural musician. She got to a professional level by sheer hard work and passion - and because of that, she'll be able to easily provide tips to anyone struggling to up their game. She's quite likely to know what they're doing wrong, how to correct them, and most importantly, be able to empathise with their struggles.
If something comes to you naturally, you would find it harder to put yourself in someone else's shoes.
Well Jen, you're still the queen of facial expressions although I thought you were having a melt down sveral times. You gave me lots of smiles and knowledge. But, where was your coffee? We can be coffee soulmates but only if you drink yours black. If one adds anything at all to one's coffee, one is simply having a coffee flavored drink! :) Take care, rest often and stay out of jail!
Oh yes, black coffee all the way 😁 I must have finished it by then haha!
You did commit the cardinal sin of not watching the end of this video.
What's crazy is that until the dubstep feeling section.. that's pretty much exactly how the original sounds, at least to my ear. Crazy.
that last low note was i believe a B-0
Great job on these reactions Jen, but you need another VP week. You NEED TO react to Phantom of the Opera, the Little Mermaid Medley, Queen in 5 minutes and the Moana Medley.
If you haven't watched the Charismatic Voice's reaction to this, it's a must.
Input from her AND the composer.
Not to mention you missed Cesar's overtone singing. 🤫
You've probably already chosen your videos to react to but, VP's ACA top 10 movie themes featuring Rob from HF should be added to the list!! It's both funny and impressive!
I was never a Halo fan, so this cover was technically interesting but not emotionally interesting for me as an individual (I'm sure others have fond memories of it, and that's a good thing).
Thinking ahead to when this wonderful week of VoicePlay reactions are over, one band I don't think you've reacted to is Kamelot, particularly the Roy Khan era. Roy was trained in opera before becoming a metal vocalist. Pretty much any song from their One Cold Winter's Night concert in Oslo is worth reacting to, but especially "Soul Society," "Abandoned," or (if you want to do a really long reaction) "Elizabeth Parts I, II & III"
Sorry, still late to the party 🙄, but did those last harmonies sound like Gregorian chant to anybody else?
Great review, Jen. Happy New Year. Auld Lang Zyne.
I hope you watched Scott's message off screen. Rekk deserves it.
Jen said she did and even reflected upon it at the end of the reaction…
Chris h Scott porter is founder with Geoff and Lane and eli
Did you hear the overtone? I think that might also have been Geoff, but I'm not sure.
You have to go back and check out their cover of “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder!
Still waiting for someone to do a reaction of Beck - Debra.
That last low note from geoff was a B0
You should react to Joe Diffie's 'Ships that don't come in'
Jennifer, I made it to yesterday's live stream and I tried. I really did! But the streaming comments were distracting me. I wanted to focus on the song and your reaction/comments. Also I like to be able to stop and go back on my own sometimes! So I just dropped off and am listening to it now the next day. I guess the live stream concept just doesn't work for me. 🤔 Anyway you seemed a bit wrecked at the end of this one. 😁 Just so much going on! Quite the video production to say the least! Great reaction/analysis Jennifer! 😊
Hey 😁 that is absolutely fine!!! Thank you for taking the time and coming back to check it out!
that b0 gets me every time xD
Please check out Dream On by Voiceplay
It’s a cover of the song from Aerosmith and they do an incredible job!!
This is iconic and so well #subscriptionsquad request Jen. Please react to Citizen Queen's version of Killing Me Softly or Senorita. There is so much for you to analyze and react to from this all woman A Capella group.
Their ‘Killing Me Softly’ is up on my channel 😊
@@JenniferGlatzhofer thank you, Jen. I don't know how I missed it. Senorita is great too
It is b0 Geoff C hit
Hope you did eventually watch the ending of the video, there was a very specific reason they did this song and it was dedicated to someone very special to them.
I did, I mention it in the video 😊
@@JenniferGlatzhofer Thanks, I missed it since you seemed to have clicked off of the last three minutes of the video. My apologies!
PLEASE REACTION “CAKRA KHAN COVER IRIS” he’s an Indonesian singer ,
Caesars vocals solos make me think African chant
The end of this makes me think of their friend ascending to heaven. It's just beautiful.
HALO is cool but his girl is fantastic, 伊卉儿Katty . She has the voice of an Angel. I just made a TH-cam channel with her music and will keep adding great videos. Why not give her a reaction? /Olaf.
Could you react to more annapantsu videos ?
And you didn't honor the end
I'm sorry you look like vanesa carlton😳
No surprise for being a B0?
While I love the editing in the video, I have to point out that it's mostly copied from pentatonix rendition of sugar plum fairy which won a Grammy
Way too much pausing imo..dunno how ppl can enjoy music like that
She's analyzing nor enjoying in this case. That's another type of enjoyment I guess - geeking out on the vocals.
PLEASE REACTION “CAKRA KHAN COVER IRIS” he’s an Indonesian singer..
