So... How did they make the rat move like that? I might be overthinking it, but was it a string being pulled from behind Geoff, they filmed it then replayed it backwards? 🤪
When a group can go from the epic medieval of Dragonborn to this you know they're top tier. Add in the fact that they do almost every single thing in the production themselves and it's mind boggling. Dragonborn still gives me goosebumps. This one had me laughing until I cried. I knew you were going to do the same when Geoff came in mirroring Ashley's outfit. I'm a sucker for Geoff's low bass, but Cesar stole the show in this one I think. He's such a good addition to the group and adds so much character and depth. I LOVED hearing Layne singing! He really needs to do that more, especially since we know the rest can cover beatboxing like they did in Showman. I have seen a video of Eli singing with his rock band somewhere overseas and he's got really long hair. He's so hilarious. And Ashley. Just perfect for this one. I love Rachel, but this was definitely Ashley's role. Geoff is hinting on his solo channel there's one coming and I'm not being too patient about waiting for it.
Thanks for watching and really appreciate you taking the time to comment! Encanto was definitely Ashley’s to feature in, she pulled off Pepa perfectly! Can’t wait for Geoff’s new video! 🤩
Ashley also has a good sense of humor too, so she fits in well with Voiceplay, who are always injecting a bit of humor where they can. In 'If I Were A Rich Man', at the end of her long riff, she just stands there and says "what?" while the others look at her with shocked faces. Since Rachel is unavailable to be a 5th member due to her committments, Ashley would be my second choice, they really do need a female 5th instead of keeping it as an all male group though.
By the time you read this you will have seen the BTS & know that is a painted backdrop, the rat is remote controlled & Geoff is wearing pink shorts! This is such a brilliant version & so much fun what a contrast to Dragonborn Comes. I love the fact that VP can handle so many different genres with such ease. Always love the joy you two have in your reactions
Actually, the backdrop isn’t painted. There wasn’t enough time for that. A picture was put through a filter that made it look like a painting, then it was printed on vinyl. Layne explained during the live feed at the video shoot.
@@Wildecat10 I thought perhaps it was one of the rented backdrops like they used in Wicked. That must have been monstrously heavy! Thanks for clarifying.
They took a high definition image of Casita and had it printed on a vinyl sign for the backdrop, rather than renting a theatrical backdrop as they often do.
Great reaction, guys! If you’re like me you’ll have to watch this many times to catch everything that’s going on musically and in the performance. For example, you did catch Layne’s side-eye when Geoff is singing in the blouse, but did you see what was happening to Cesar’s face? He decided to go with it. So funny. These guys just keep topping themselves. I’m almost afraid to see what’s next!
jesus, so many things to catch in here- geoff’s G1 voice is mind blowing, i absolutely DIED when geoff shape shifted into isabella and did the second part of her verse, and Lin is SO SO SO very famous for the overlapping in his musicals. they overlap with previous verses in “In The Heights”, “Hamilton” AND “Encanto”. it’s always so cool-
1. I asked this in a Patreon VP livechat and believe it or not it the Isabella costume change was Geoff's idea! And the Remy rat is a robot car-like thing and somehow it has enough traction to grab onto Geoff's coat, so no camera tricks there. Also, fun fact, Geoff's scream is taken right from that famous screaming goat meme XD
Y'all are my favorite reaction channel! You are so knowledgeable about music theory and singing in general and your passion is infectious! To quote y'all.... " Sooo Gooood"
Aww, thanks!! I kinda wish we had more formal musical training, so that we could explain terms better! In the meantime we’ll just use words like “feel” and “vibe” 😆
I just subscribed to your channel today. I so enjoyed YOUR enjoyment of the music. I grew up singing in acapella choirs, show choirs etc. Your enthusiasm is fun to watch
I always look so much forward to your reactions, so I’m so happy that you’re patrons so that you can post a reaction so shortly after VoicePlay’s public release! 😊 Thanks for this, as always I enjoyed your reaction a lot! (By the way, a tip - if you haven’t had the time to explore VoicePlay’s patreon thoroughly, it’s easy to overlook a post from 2019 that never went public, called “NIBTFYPBTAAAAD 2019”, which actually hides an audio track of VoicePlay singing “Kissed by a Rose”, featuring Emoni Wilkins, whom you saw in their Wicked medley. I think it’s so beautiful, and maybe you will think so too!
@@ZhenYaoYin In hindsight, that probably should have tipped everyone off that Geoff was about to pull something... But darned if that wasn't the best kind of surprise!!
actually it was Ashley who asked geoff to do that. the charismatic voice said she had some insider info that it was her who asked geoff to do that. i do believe her since hes has talked too both layne and geoff, so she definitely has contact with the group to get this sort of stuff.
yep from what i heard is Ashley had a couple different sizes of outfits because she didn't know which one would look the best on camera, so then wanted to have Goeff to wear an outfit during that part of the song.
Indeed Layne was great in the "rap type" part (I hope I'm referring to that part correctly). And yes, why give that part to Eli? (Indeed, his lighting arrangement is great !!!). Geoff super fun!!!, (and yes, sure Kathy has something to do with it). When I saw the movie in the cinema, this song was good, but VoicePlay made it fun!!! Ashley's voice reminded me exactly of Miravel's.
Glad you enjoyed this cover and the movie too! Out of curiosity, did you watch the movie in Spanish? Some Malaysian singers did an unofficial Malay version of “Bruno”, and I was extremely impressed by the translated version! 😄
Yes, I saw it in Spanish, here in Mexico that genre of films only comes dubbed. The song is very well dubbed into Spanish. In fact, Mexico has a large dubbing industry, because we consume movies in English and Japanese. And also various anime series. Sorry if my reply was long.
You had it spot on with Layne and Geoff's parts. Layne doing the rap in Moana probably gave it away though, as a beatboxer he already has a good sense of rythm to do rap. Ashley was perfect for this song though, not only does she do the Latino accent well, she has a kind of Latino look to her.
Miranda didn't invent the voices signing against each other like that. That's an opera style which moved into musical theater. (Watch the reprise of "Tonight" in WESTSIDE STORY.).
Wow, you put the vid together fast! The VoicePlay vid had only been online for TWO HOURS when you posted this! That's fast work, and I would expect the quality to be low. But it isn't! How did you do it?
Thanks, glad you appreciate the effort we put into our videos! We actually watched the early access version via VoicePlay’s Patreon, which was released a few days earlier… but since we were busy through the week we recorded our reaction only 3 hours before the public version dropped! 🤣
I did after the mini of Luisa’s Surface Pressure. I often find myself watching movies after I see one of their videos. I also, in my ancient old age, find myself checking out a lot of bands that my son listens to just because of one of their videos.

It was a remote controlled animatronic rat. Layne was holding the remote 😂
@@sophsutherland3993 and the rat always wanted to go down out in circles🐀🌀
@@sophsutherland3993 LOL, thanks for the answer! 🐀
The best part is when you realise Geoff is playing as Camillo so of course he'd "shapeshift" into Isabella to steal the lines XDDD

I like that Geoff was also wearing the same coral shorts that Ashley had on.
Coral shorts for the win! I should get one for my wardrobe too 🤣
and he was just as cute
2:47... ~Arms waving~ Play..play, play, play!!!
Best compliment the song could ever get. :)
Geoff is the best Disney princess. Fight me

Thanks for clarifying, y’all! We haven’t had the chance to check those out yet! Also pink shorts for the win! I should get one for my wardrobe 🤔
I totally missed Geoff flipping his hair when I watched the original! I saw it this time and laughed with you!! Fun reaction.
We had so much fun watching this video, as you can tell! 🤩
They took a high definition image of Casita and had it printed on a vinyl sign for the backdrop, rather than renting a theatrical backdrop as they often do.
Thanks for the info! I’m amazed at how great the backdrop looked! 🤩

I love how Ashley gets frustrated with Cesar. Her body language and facial expresses are the best.

Well, it was kind of his idea... Sounds like he made a joke about it that Layne took very seriously 😂
In any case, we found out that Geoff is exactly one women’s clothes size larger than Ashley!
OMG I JUST GOOGLED “REMOTE CONTROL REMY” I WANT ONE NOW 😱😱😱 th-cam.com/video/0XV6GOK96aM/w-d-xo.html
@@Wildecat10 That’s HILARIOUS 😂

@@janetdw 😂
I LOVE THAT SONG! It used to be my go-to song when I used to go for auditions (tho I sing it in a lower key 🙈). Thanks for bringing it up! 😍
You two are a joy to watch/listen to - thank you!
Awesome reaction! I so enjoy your take on acapella groups - my new favorite musical genre! Please keep up the good work!!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed our video! 😄
Did anyone else notice all the 'shirts' sharing! Hilarious!
I love your reactions. Also informative. Killer song...on fire Voiceplay....awesome review
Your reactions are some of my favorites! So fun! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! 🥰
This channel is really just underrated!!
Great reaction as always I love it when you react to Voiceplay!
Thanks for watching! 😍
You two are just so bloody cute!
This was amazing
love this more every time I hear it 🏴
It auto plays in my brain when my thoughts are idling, usually the original version, but now sometimes VoicePlay’s too! 😅🤣
It was Ashley who asked Geoff to do it and he agreed
also dont know if you guys noticed but layne took the pass during the isabella section!
Ahhh you’re right! I think we were too giggly watching Geoff that we didn’t notice Layne going low 😅

Ashley was perfect for this song though, not only does she do the Latino accent well, she has a kind of Latino look to her.
I did a bit of digging and found out that Ashley’s Puerto Rican! instagram.com/ashleydianerosa?
Cesar and Ashley are both Puerto Rican.
Miranda didn't invent the voices signing against each other like that. That's an opera style which moved into musical theater. (Watch the reprise of "Tonight" in WESTSIDE STORY.).
Based on what another reacter said, the change from Ashlley to Geoff was Ashley's idea.

Me too! 😁

Of course y’all gotta check it out! It’s one of my favourite Disney movies in the past 5 years 🤩
Actually, they used unreal engine to create the background and Lain edited it into the background layer of the video.
I just saw Mimikyu back there.
Bingo! 😄
I'd like to see Ashley and Dimash sing a minaret run.
I’d buy a mug or a shirt that said Sooo Goood.
LOL now that’s an idea! We’d probably have one that says “NIIIICE” too! To be honest our reaction vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive 🤣🤣🤣
it was Ashley's idea 😂
You both fanboy/girling over everything they did lol
Guilty as charged 🤩😂🤣
Actually it was Ashley’s idea about Isabella’s part
Can you react to Voiceplay singing if I was a rich man?
We have, actually! It’s one of our favourite pieces from them 😍 th-cam.com/video/9-TzutgVSoQ/w-d-xo.html
