Welcome to the world of Voctave .... you are not the only reviewer to cry at this performance .... You can not go wrong with anything that they do .... More Please ...
Love your reactions! A great Christmas/Christian song by them is Mary Did You Know? featuring Voctave with Mark Lowry. Mark wrote the words to Mary Did You Know some 30 years ago. He sings the lead with Voctave as his "backup band" ... it is absolutely THE BEST version I have ever heard by anybody ... PERIOD!
Finally found Voctave. Hooray! Most are veterans of Disney's Voices of America. They are based in the Orlando area. Some still work for Disney in voicing characters that sing and doing voice overs. Founder and master arranger, Jamie Ray, is a consultant to Disney and Universal. They have a limited catalog, so you need to space them out, but you can't go wrong with fan recommendations. Oh, and they have a lot you can add to a child's playlist.
*Voices of Liberty* (at the American Adventure in EPCOT). All 11 Voctave members have been VoL members at some point and half of them still are (mix of full-time and subs).
@@alanstumpf2084 Yup. Drew and Aaron still sing with the Dans. They've all had various singing gigs at the Parks. Another fun fact is that EJ and Kurt were part of the original cast of Finding Nemo at Animal Kingdom.
0:00 Snow White - Someday my prince will come 3:50 Sleeping Beauty - Once upon a dream 4:50 A Little Mermaid - Part of your world 7:49 Mulan - Reflection 10:20 Pocahontas - Colors of the wind
Yes, Voctave are all Disney cast members. When working at the Walt Disney World park in Orlando, they're known as the "Voices of Liberty" and sing at the American pavillion at EPCOT. At EPCOT they only perform 8 at a time (four men four women). As for which princess is which... "Some Day My Prince Will Come" is from Snow White and the Seven Dwaves". sung by Snow White. "Once Upon a Dream" is from "Sleeping Beauty"., sung by Aurora. "Part of Your World" is from "The Little Mermaid", sung by Ariel "Reflection" is from "Mutan", sung by Mulan. Note that Mulan is one of the many "Disney Princesses" who isn't actually a princess (there are actually several). "Colors of the Wind: is from "Pocahontas", sung by Pocahontas. Another Princess who isn't a princess. And yes, all of Voctave's music is on iTunes.
So if you ask me the best Voctave Medley is the Prince of Egypt Medley. It is just audio, but it is an ear-gasim. Princess order was Snow White (vocalist Kate Lot), Aurora, aka Sleeping Beauty (vocalist Tiffany), Ariel (vocalist Sarah), Mulan (vocalist Ashley), and Pocahontas (vocalist Chrystal). And yes, Voctave have a bunch of Christmas music. They mainly tour in the latter portion of the year because they are full time members of Voices of Liberty in Epcot.
The lyric soprano is the mighty Kate Lott. Welcome to the Voctave wormhole. Enjoy your stay. :) I suggest the Disney Love Medley and Mary Did You Know? (with the song's lyricist). As others have said, many or most are members of Voices of Liberty.
Voctave is insanely good! I have watched and listened to nearly all their stuff and it is ALL AMAZING! My favorite Christmas carol that they sing is "Carol Of The Bells of Notre Dame". I believe all, or certainly most, of the members have sung in the group Voices of Liberty at Epcot.
All of the members of Votave have sung with the Voices of Liberty, at Epcot Center in Disney World Florida, at one time or another. Their Christmas stuff is unbelievable and if you want to hear something that's amazing, listen to The Great Movie Medley. It's an ode to the great John Williams and his movie scores. Only one song has lyrics and on the rest their voices ARE the orchestra. Also,during the height of Covid,they did a virtual video of You Will Be Found with 900 people from 55 countries. Because of the 11 members,they do not have to add layers in the studio.Simply put,they are unmatched, especially in a live show!
Voctave is just fabulous! More Vocatve reactions!! I recommend: Disney Heroes and Villains Medley (you met the ladies of Voctave in the Disney Princess Medley, meet the guys in the Heroes and Villains Medley), The Great Movie Medley (a tribute to John Williams), Somewhere (From "West Side Story"), "Someone Like You" (with Jody McBrayer, from "Jekyll & Hyde"), Remember Me (from Coco), and two musts--"Where Are You Christmas?" (tissues nearby, I need one every time I watch this) and "O Come All Ye Faithful" (EJ Cardona has the lead and he is just out of this world).
So indeed Christmas! They can ROCK a Christmas carol. Check out O Come All Ye Faithful, Mary Did You Know, Carol of the Bells/of Notre Dame, This is My Wish/Let There Be Peace and on a non-Christmas note, Their Prince of Egypt Medley is Astonishing! Thanks for the great reaction and welcome to Voctave!
LOVE your reaction to thus masterful performance! I also love this video and this group. I have probably watched it, with and without reaction, 50 times at least. It is hard to have a favorite in this immensely talented group, but Chrystal Johnson's voice (Pocahontas) thrills me. And Yes!!!! They do Christmas!!!! DO NOT miss their "Mary, Did You Know" in which they provide backing vocals for Mark Lowry (he wrote the lyrics!). But, seriously, ALL there Christmas songs will bless your socks off. Britt, I almost never use this many capitalized words, but.... I am so glad to have shared your joy in discovering Voctave on this, my very first video of the celebration of my 70th year of my very blessed life. I am going to say a heart-felt prayer for you now. God bless you.
I like their 'impossible dream', 'Mary did you know' and recently - 'somewhere'... they have an old video - 'fly medley', featuring different members, but it is still that 'disney' sound that everyone loves... from I recall, all of them did work for disneyworld at one time or another...
Ah, the Voctave rabbit hole...check out their "O Come, All Ye Faithful". The high note singer is Kate Lott. The arrangements are by Jamie Ray, the second from the left. When I worked at Disney World, I sang in the employee choir (cast choir) for the Christmas Candlelight Processional 18 years. The Voices of Liberty from Epcot were dressed as Dickens' carolers, and sang with us. I've heard them sing since 1981 when Epcot opened, and I get chills Every. Single. Time.
You are correct that at least one of the studies vocals. Jamey Ray, the second man from the left, teaches at Rollins College. He arranges all of their music. He specifically tailors each part for each member of Voctave. And yes, the name is a combination of Vocal Octave. I’d love to see you react more to Voctave. If you want to know what they would sound like singing Christmas carols, they have 3 albums of them. Mary Did You Know features Mark Lowry who wrote the words. It is AMAZING. Kate happens to hit a G6 in it. It doesn’t matter what song you choose by Voctave, they are all equally as good as you just heard. Glad you enjoyed this!
Jeremy Michael Lewis pitched the name "Voctave" to Jamey after rejecting Jamey's original name "8va". Jamey goes into the details at the beginning of Voctave's 2019 TH-cam Live chat, and also explains the story in an interview with Mark Lowry. It's a fun story.
Kate Lott is the first soprano, Tiffany Cohen the second soprano, Sarah Whitmore, 3rd soloist Ariel, Ashley Espinosa, 4th soloist Mulan, Crystal singing Color of the Wind Pochehantas. You should check out their Christmas songs. Expecially Where are you Christmas
Voctave DOMINATES my Christmas music lists. They are amazing and I hope to see them on tour one year. Please watch more -- anything you pick will be good
Had found they performed in Dayton in '22 and was unaware. They returned in '23 and I h ad tickets for months. Guess who gets sick that very day?? Damn it. Hoping '24 will be my year, provided they give me another chance.
@@embran8486Went to see CW in Lima a month or so ago. I had tickets for months and months and was so looking forward to this. I've been a fan since theirv1st appearance on PBS. Absolutely loved the original 4 ladies and since then it hasn't been quite the same, but still an outstanding group of singers. Now only 3 singers, WHY ?? Whoever set up the sound system that night really did a poor job. This venue only sit 1800 and the sound level simply ruined it. Only when a solo sang was it acceptable. Truly disappointed in the night. Won't blame the ladies for this. Hope you can get the opportunity to see them in person and good luck.
@@ronallen6578 Nah, but thanks anyway. I heard the current ones and just from that not a fan. Let alone going to a concert of theirs (actually so far never booked a concert once, only accidently joined when i was in the same location of any band). The balance in the old group between natural voice, classical and musical theatre was great. Something for everyone. And Méav carried it all for me. Now its musical and Poppy exclusive.
Congratulations Britt!!!! You've finally found a rabbit hole worth diving into!!! You will love it!! Yes, they are the "Voices of Liberty" and sing at Epcot's American Pavilion. Hope you enjoy the Journey!!!!!
🪄 ✨ Magical. The first song was from Snow White whilst the second was from Sleeping Beauty (my favorite). i adore ALL your reactions but this one was truly special! Your awe and excitement were a joy to watch. You may have said that Little Girl, Brit was screaming, well darlin' Big Girl, Brit pretty much was too! Precious 💕 i look forward to seeing many more videos like this one! ~🩵☘️🥀
As many have already suggested, and by #Voctave is genius. Truly masterful vocals, arrangements, layering and dynamics. Their Christmas music is divine and their Disney and Broadway phenomenal. Disney Heroes and Villains - showcases the guys Somewhere - one of their newest, arrangement highlights each of their voices You Will Be Found - done separately during Covid! Prince of Egypt Medley - perhaps their best (audio only, but you won't care!) Can't wait to see you react to more Voctave - you will NOT be disappointed.
Yeah, that was easily what I'd call an eargasm! A happy tears-inducing one! You nailed that description of its complexity and the work they all put into it! Y'know, . . . Valentine's Day is coming soon so perhaps you might give their "Disney Love Medley" a listen!?
I’m a big fan of yours! I’ve been waiting for you to meet Voctave since the moment I saw your first reaction. Funny you said what you did about Christmas! You are correct, they can and have ROCKED many Christmas songs! I can’t wait to see your reaction to those!
I love your reaction to Voctave. They do a lot of Disney music, as all of them have worked at Walt Disney World and some still do. They also sing a bunch of Christmas songs, and Broadway songs from musicals, and a mix of other favorites. They have a "Heroes and Villains medley" where the men have solos like the women did in this song. In their version of "Somewhere" they each get a solo. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Voctave.
I have been soooooooo waiting for you to get to Voctave and speaking of Christmas, they have at least 2 Christmas albums/CDs and are a MUST during the holiday season!!!!!!! The men are featured in a Disney Heroes and Villains medley!
Yay Voctave ! Loved your reaction, here's some great covers from them: - Disney Love Medley - Disney Showstoppers Medley - Disney Heroes/Villains Medley - Poor Unfortunate Souls / I Put a Spell on You - O Come all ye faithful - Mary did you know - Someone like you - Where are you christmas ...:D
They have some incredible Christmas music but in the meantime I would highly recommend Disney Love Medley and Great Movie Medley. Disney Heroes and Villains is also really fun. They always make me cry. So much talent in one group!! And you’re right, harmonizing is not easy!! ❤
Well since you did the Disney Princess Medley, you should now checkout their Disney Heros and Villians video to hear all the men's voices. After that, have fun. They have a pretty large inventory of songs. By the way, they are all current or former members of the Acapella group Voices of Liberty, who perform daily at Walt Disney World's World Pavillion America, at Epcot center. Some have also Sung on Disney soundtracks, and some actually do character voiceovers for Disney. A couple of the men have also been members of The Dapper Dan's Barbershop quartet that sings on Disney World Mainstreet. Yes they do tour as well. You really can't go wrong with any of their stuff.
yaaaaas girl! ❤So glad you found the Voctave rabbit hole! So glad you recognized the talent of the singers and the arrangement. They have done several inconjuction with many of the gospel artists you probably ave heard of. Being Alive from the musical Company features David Phelps! Someone Like you from the musical Jekyll and Hyde features Jody McBrayer from the band Avalon Mary Did you know features Mark Lowry (who wrote the lyrics) Beauty and the Beast features Sandy Patti You will melt if you do the Prince of Egypt Medley! ❤ You cant go wrong with any Voctave song.....so so many good ones!
I've been checking your channel for a while now to see if you had reacted to this, so glad to see that you now have. Voctave is absolutely amazing! Please have a listen to their "Disney Love Medley" and their "Movie Medley", you won't be disappointed!
Welcome to the Voctave rabbit hole, you said about them rocking Xmas songs, that’s one of their specialty’s, from Mary, did you know to Carol of the bells of Notre Dame to Where are you Christmas, they knock it out of the park whether Disney, Halloween, Christmas or anything else they are angelic 👍👍👍
If you want a Christmas treat, listen to Voctave sing "Where Are You Christmas" but have tissue on hand because it will likely make you cry. ;-) Also, this one features the women with the men singing backing vocals. There's another that is a "Disney Heroes and Villains Medley" featuring the men individually.
Voctave is DEFINITELY a rabbit hole that is worth diving into! They are absolutely accapella harmony magic! Check out their cover of Mary Did You Know with Marc Lowry (Marc is the writer of the word to Mary Did You Know). And their O' Come All Yee Faithful will bring you to tears. They are in league by themselves!
They are all Disney singers. Loved watching your reactions and can recommend; Disney Love Medley with Kristin Maldanado from PTX, Disney Heroes and Villains to show off the men, Great Movie Medley sung live, O Holy Night, Mary Did You Know with the writer of the song featured, O Come All Ye Faithful, Somewhere and every other song they do.
I really enjoyed your first time reaction to Voctave. They are a fantastic a cappella singing group, and their pure harmonies are unbeatable. That's not to take anything away from the other phenomenal a cappella groups, Home Free, Pentatonix and VoicePlay. During your reaction, you identified one of Voctave's main advantages. Voctave, with 11 incredible singer/soloists, can create a much fuller sound using multiple harmonies. It is a supremely talented group. Now that you've heard all of the women featured, you might want to check out their Disney Heroes and Villains Medley which features each of the men. You also speculated that they'd do a great job on Christmas Carols, well you would be right. I would start with Mary, Did You Know, featuring Mark Lowry, the guy who co-wrote the song, and move onto O Come All Ye Faithful (a tenor solo), and finally check out their rendition of Where Are You Christmas. When it comes to repertoire, these hardly scratch the surface. Welcome to the Voctave rabbit hole. Enjoy the journey!!!
“Can you imagine these people coming up to your front door on Christmas?” If you go to the American Pavilion in Disney World’s Epcot park during the holiday season, you won’t have to imagine as you can see most of them sing to you there (as all of Voctave’s past and present members are either former or current members of Epcot’s Voices of Liberty). With that said, Voctave does have quite a holiday playlist if you want to hear more of their work. I’d recommend “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame,” “Christmas Waltzes,” and “Mary, Did You Know?”
First song is One day my prince will come. (Snow White). Second is Once upon a dream. (Aurora). Third is Part of your world. (Ariel). Fourth is Reflection (Mulan). Fifth is Colors of the wind. (Pocahontas). Hope that helps.
Just wanted to tell you that you're channel popped up on my feed yesterday and...OMG... you're a breath of fresh air, a pleasure, a gem and a good hearted good time! I binge watched your channel yesterday (mostly for country music reasons) but through your eyes, I've seen how much country music tells you a story and brings you on a journey you don't know you needed. So Ms Britt, thank you for being a beautiful breath of fresh air. Oh and yes "bay-bee," I've hit that subscribe button from all the way in Australia. Cheers mate and continue to be great
They are not all Disney voices but about half of them do sing at Disneyworld in Orlando. In a group called Voiced of Liberty. You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet, Missy! EVERY video is a masterpiece of sorts. I have seen them 6 times in concert and, believe me, this is not studio/mixing magic. They sound JUST as good live and are just incredible. Glad you discovered them.❤
They're not all *current* Disney World singers but all 11 have worked at Disney World as singers at some point (and all 11 have been members of Voices of Liberty). Kate, Drew, Aaron, Karl are still VoL members, while Ashley and Sarah are subs.
These guys are amazing!! As others have said, I love the Disney Love Medley and the Prince of Egypt Medley. If you want to hear the guys featured I really enjoy the Disney Showstoppers medley and the Disney Villains and Heroes medley. Just to name a few.
Great reaction! Voctave has lots of Disney stuff and ALL of it is mind-blowing! If you'd like to hear the men showcased, check out "Disney Heroes and Villains Medley". They also have great Broadway, movie and other genres. "Over the Rainbow" from "Wizard of Oz" is awesome. "Somewhere" from "West Side Story" and "You Will Be Found" from "Dear Evan Hansen" are equally incredible. And their Christmas repertoire is beyond belief. Please do more Voctave reactions! The Voctave rabbit hole is deep but most satisfying!

Welcome to the world of Voctave .... you are not the only reviewer to cry at this performance .... You can not go wrong with anything that they do .... More Please ...
Now do Voctave's "Disney Love Medley". Kirsten from Pentatonix sings with them!
Enjoy your channel!
Yes! And “Someone Like You” with Jody McBrayer
Voctave featuring Mark Lowry doing Mary Did You Know!! Mark is the author of the song, and it’s a performance you won’t soon forget, I promise!
The Men rock the Disney Showstoppers and the Disney Heroes/Villians. Vocally, Voctave is unmatched.
Their Christmas songs are out of this world. You really should listen to “Where are you Christmas” as a start.
A great suggestion but bring the crying towels.
Love your reactions! A great Christmas/Christian song by them is Mary Did You Know? featuring Voctave with Mark Lowry. Mark wrote the words to Mary Did You Know some 30 years ago. He sings the lead with Voctave as his "backup band" ... it is absolutely THE BEST version I have ever heard by anybody ... PERIOD!
YES!!!
Yes!!!
It will take your breath away.
Amen!!!
Respectfully, Home Free's "Mary Did You Know" is the BEST.
This group is so good its ridiculous. You need to react to their Prince of Egypt medley its insanely phenomenal.
Finally found Voctave. Hooray! Most are veterans of Disney's Voices of America. They are based in the Orlando area. Some still work for Disney in voicing characters that sing and doing voice overs.

They've all had various singing gigs at the Parks. Another fun fact is that EJ and Kurt were part of the original cast of Finding Nemo at Animal Kingdom.
0:00 Snow White - Someday my prince will come
3:50 Sleeping Beauty - Once upon a dream
4:50 A Little Mermaid - Part of your world
7:49 Mulan - Reflection
10:20 Pocahontas - Colors of the wind
Your best reaction by far. Not only your emotion but you recognized and acknowledged the pure talent and years of hard work.
Exectly my opinion 👍
Yes, Voctave are all Disney cast members.
When working at the Walt Disney World park in Orlando, they're known as the "Voices of Liberty" and sing at the American pavillion at EPCOT. At EPCOT they only perform 8 at a time (four men four women).
As for which princess is which...
"Some Day My Prince Will Come" is from Snow White and the Seven Dwaves". sung by Snow White.
"Once Upon a Dream" is from "Sleeping Beauty"., sung by Aurora.
"Part of Your World" is from "The Little Mermaid", sung by Ariel
"Reflection" is from "Mutan", sung by Mulan. Note that Mulan is one of the many "Disney Princesses" who isn't actually a princess (there are actually several).
"Colors of the Wind: is from "Pocahontas", sung by Pocahontas. Another Princess who isn't a princess.
And yes, all of Voctave's music is on iTunes.
This is almost true.
Excellent vocalists -now these are how proper Disney voices are supposed to sound
Definitely go down the Voctave rabbit whole. A lot of Disney, a lot of Christmas music. The Prince of Egypt Medley is insane. Enjoy!
So if you ask me the best Voctave Medley is the Prince of Egypt Medley. It is just audio, but it is an ear-gasim.
Princess order was Snow White (vocalist Kate Lot), Aurora, aka Sleeping Beauty (vocalist Tiffany), Ariel (vocalist Sarah), Mulan (vocalist Ashley), and Pocahontas (vocalist Chrystal).
And yes, Voctave have a bunch of Christmas music. They mainly tour in the latter portion of the year because they are full time members of Voices of Liberty in Epcot.
I really believe that Voctave is the cadillac of all acapella groups.
The lyric soprano is the mighty Kate Lott. Welcome to the Voctave wormhole. Enjoy your stay. :) I suggest the Disney Love Medley and Mary Did You Know? (with the song's lyricist). As others have said, many or most are members of Voices of Liberty.
Thanks for the tips!
@@brittreacts You bet. LOVE your channel, your reactions are genuine, kind, learned, and thoughtful. :)
YAY! So glad to see this in your releases!! You should check out their Prince of Egypt Medley, it is absolutely TRANSCENDENT.
Voctave is insanely good! I have watched and listened to nearly all their stuff and it is ALL AMAZING! My favorite Christmas carol that they sing is "Carol Of The Bells of Notre Dame". I believe all, or certainly most, of the members have sung in the group Voices of Liberty at Epcot.

YAAAAAASSSSSS!!! Their Christmas music is right up there with this performance... Their O Come All Ye Faithful will BLOW. YOUR. WHOLE. MIND.
Voctave is just fabulous! More Vocatve reactions!! I recommend: Disney Heroes and Villains Medley (you met the ladies of Voctave in the Disney Princess Medley, meet the guys in the Heroes and Villains Medley), The Great Movie Medley (a tribute to John Williams), Somewhere (From "West Side Story"), "Someone Like You" (with Jody McBrayer, from "Jekyll & Hyde"), Remember Me (from Coco), and two musts--"Where Are You Christmas?" (tissues nearby, I need one every time I watch this) and "O Come All Ye Faithful" (EJ Cardona has the lead and he is just out of this world).
Hey Britt! The follow up to this video that features the male vocals is the Disney Heroes and Villains and is also amazing!!
You finally entered this rabbit hole... you are gonna love them .. they are amazing
So indeed Christmas! They can ROCK a Christmas carol. Check out O Come All Ye Faithful, Mary Did You Know, Carol of the Bells/of Notre Dame, This is My Wish/Let There Be Peace and on a non-Christmas note, Their Prince of Egypt Medley is Astonishing!

LOVE your reaction to thus masterful performance! I also love this video and this group. I have probably watched it, with and without reaction, 50 times at least.

They are totally amazing. You should listen to them singing “Somewhere”
Yes. That will allow you to hear each member individually. You will love it.
One video of theirs that I love, that I've only seen one reaction to, is the Disney Fly Medley. It's an older one, but still sooo good!
I saw them in person during their Christmas tour last year. So yeah, they do an amazing holiday show.

This was how I felt and how i still feel each time I hear these guys. The vocal artistry is absolutely unmatched!!!!
Voctave DOMINATES my Christmas music lists. They are amazing and I hope to see them on tour one year. Please watch more -- anything you pick will be good
Same. They even transcended Celtic Woman currently when it comes to Christmas and that has been a tradition at home for over a decade.

They have Christmas albums. Many are from Voices of Liberty at Epcot American Adventure
This is an incredibly beautiful performance!
Their Christmas songs are amazing but you must hear their Where Are You Christmas.
You want her to cry??
I want her to not miss an amazing experience.@@Kiroshadow
Love how you zeroed in on that dissonant harmony at the end. Great reaction!
As many have already suggested, and by #Voctave is genius. Truly masterful vocals, arrangements, layering and dynamics. Their Christmas music is divine and their Disney and Broadway phenomenal.
Disney Heroes and Villains - showcases the guys
Somewhere - one of their newest, arrangement highlights each of their voices
You Will Be Found - done separately during Covid!
Prince of Egypt Medley - perhaps their best (audio only, but you won't care!)
Can't wait to see you react to more Voctave - you will NOT be disappointed.
Yeah, that was easily what I'd call an eargasm! A happy tears-inducing one! You nailed that description of its complexity and the work they all put into it! Y'know, . . . Valentine's Day is coming soon so perhaps you might give their "Disney Love Medley" a listen!?
They do a lot of Christmas music and they are amazing, just perfect for Christmas
I’m a big fan of yours! I’ve been waiting for you to meet Voctave since the moment I saw your first reaction. Funny you said what you did about Christmas! You are correct, they can and have ROCKED many Christmas songs! I can’t wait to see your reaction to those!
Listen to "Mary Did You Know" by Voctave if you want to hear the absolute, hands down, best Christmas song ever recorded.
their 'where are you christmas' is sublime.
Thier Disney Love melody is also insane!
I love your reaction to Voctave. They do a lot of Disney music, as all of them have worked at Walt Disney World and some still do. They also sing a bunch of Christmas songs, and Broadway songs from musicals, and a mix of other favorites. They have a "Heroes and Villains medley" where the men have solos like the women did in this song. In their version of "Somewhere" they each get a solo. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Voctave.
Their Christmas songs are awesome especially from the Grinch movie “Where are You Christmas?”. Be sure you have tissues!
This my friend is a master class in how it works and boy do they know how it works!
This is my very favorite Voctave medley. Thank you SO MUCH for your reaction.
Please do "This is my Wish/Let there be Peace on Earth" and "Mary Did You Know" by Voctave. Both truly amazing.
I have been soooooooo waiting for you to get to Voctave and speaking of Christmas, they have at least 2 Christmas albums/CDs and are a MUST during the holiday season!!!!!!! The men are featured in a Disney Heroes and Villains medley!
Omg!!!! This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve heard!!
They did another one about the Disney villains, showcasing all of the men.
Yay Voctave ! Loved your reaction, here's some great covers from them:
- Disney Love Medley
- Disney Showstoppers Medley
- Disney Heroes/Villains Medley
- Poor Unfortunate Souls / I Put a Spell on You
- O Come all ye faithful
- Mary did you know
- Someone like you
- Where are you christmas
...:D
Thanks for letting me in on what felt like "ecstasy" for you!
You are so welcome!
They have some incredible Christmas music but in the meantime I would highly recommend Disney Love Medley and Great Movie Medley. Disney Heroes and Villains is also really fun. They always make me cry. So much talent in one group!! And you’re right, harmonizing is not easy!! ❤
“These women are out of this world!”
*Part of Your World starts playing* 😂 👌🏽
Anything by Voctave gives me chills, would love to see more from you
I’ll check it out!
Well since you did the Disney Princess Medley, you should now checkout their Disney Heros and Villians video to hear all the men's voices. After that, have fun. They have a pretty large inventory of songs. By the way, they are all current or former members of the Acapella group Voices of Liberty, who perform daily at Walt Disney World's World Pavillion America, at Epcot center. Some have also Sung on Disney soundtracks, and some actually do character voiceovers for Disney. A couple of the men have also been members of The Dapper Dan's Barbershop quartet that sings on Disney World Mainstreet. Yes they do tour as well. You really can't go wrong with any of their stuff.
yaaaaas girl! ❤So glad you found the Voctave rabbit hole!
So glad you recognized the talent of the singers and the arrangement.
They have done several inconjuction with many of the gospel artists you probably ave heard of.
Being Alive from the musical Company features David Phelps!
Someone Like you from the musical Jekyll and Hyde features Jody McBrayer from the band Avalon
Mary Did you know features Mark Lowry (who wrote the lyrics)
Beauty and the Beast features Sandy Patti
You will melt if you do the Prince of Egypt Medley! ❤
You cant go wrong with any Voctave song.....so so many good ones!
I've been checking your channel for a while now to see if you had reacted to this, so glad to see that you now have. Voctave is absolutely amazing! Please have a listen to their "Disney Love Medley" and their "Movie Medley", you won't be disappointed!
Voctave is amazing! I recommend Poor Unfortunate Souls/I Put a Spell on You medley. 😊
Welcome to the Voctave rabbit hole, you said about them rocking Xmas songs, that’s one of their specialty’s, from Mary, did you know to Carol of the bells of Notre Dame to Where are you Christmas, they knock it out of the park whether Disney, Halloween, Christmas or anything else they are angelic 👍👍👍
You should check out Voctave's 90s Disney TV medley and their Great Movie Medley. Both are great.
Snow white, and sleeping beauty are the first two. I ADORE voctave! Please react to more!!!❤
actually, I think the first song is Cinderella, then Aurora (sleeping beauty) :)
@@wendyfaust5846the first one is Snow White.
YES! You’re right!!! My bad! ❤
I’m 57 , a singer from years ago lol, and this darn video makes me tear up every time I hear it, so yeah, thanks for that!
I couldn't imagine being more in love with Britt than I was before.
If you want a Christmas treat, listen to Voctave sing "Where Are You Christmas" but have tissue on hand because it will likely make you cry. ;-) Also, this one features the women with the men singing backing vocals. There's another that is a "Disney Heroes and Villains Medley" featuring the men individually.
You're in for such a fun ride learning about Voctave!
You gotta check out their version of “O come all ye faithful” Christmas time or not it’s mind blowing
Has any reactor ever been commenting on the bass while Kate was hitting an F6?
Voctave is DEFINITELY a rabbit hole that is worth diving into! They are absolutely accapella harmony magic! Check out their cover of Mary Did You Know with Marc Lowry (Marc is the writer of the word to Mary Did You Know). And their O' Come All Yee Faithful will bring you to tears. They are in league by themselves!
They are all Disney singers. Loved watching your reactions and can recommend; Disney Love Medley with Kristin Maldanado from PTX, Disney Heroes and Villains to show off the men, Great Movie Medley sung live, O Holy Night, Mary Did You Know with the writer of the song featured, O Come All Ye Faithful, Somewhere and every other song they do.
You have to do their Villains medley ❤
Colors of the Wind from Pocahantas has always been one of my favorite songs. Maybe one day you would react to Vanessa Williams singing the whole song.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your first time reaction to Voctave. They are a fantastic a cappella singing group, and their pure harmonies are unbeatable. That's not to take anything away from the other phenomenal a cappella groups, Home Free, Pentatonix and VoicePlay. During your reaction, you identified one of Voctave's main advantages. Voctave, with 11 incredible singer/soloists, can create a much fuller sound using multiple harmonies. It is a supremely talented group. Now that you've heard all of the women featured, you might want to check out their Disney Heroes and Villains Medley which features each of the men. You also speculated that they'd do a great job on Christmas Carols, well you would be right. I would start with Mary, Did You Know, featuring Mark Lowry, the guy who co-wrote the song, and move onto O Come All Ye Faithful (a tenor solo), and finally check out their rendition of Where Are You Christmas. When it comes to repertoire, these hardly scratch the surface. Welcome to the Voctave rabbit hole.
Enjoy the journey!!!
Yes, they have sung for Disney.
“Can you imagine these people coming up to your front door on Christmas?”
If you go to the American Pavilion in Disney World’s Epcot park during the holiday season, you won’t have to imagine as you can see most of them sing to you there (as all of Voctave’s past and present members are either former or current members of Epcot’s Voices of Liberty).
With that said, Voctave does have quite a holiday playlist if you want to hear more of their work. I’d recommend “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame,” “Christmas Waltzes,” and “Mary, Did You Know?”
First song is One day my prince will come. (Snow White). Second is Once upon a dream. (Aurora). Third is Part of your world. (Ariel). Fourth is Reflection (Mulan). Fifth is Colors of the wind. (Pocahontas). Hope that helps.
Just wanted to tell you that you're channel popped up on my feed yesterday and...OMG... you're a breath of fresh air, a pleasure, a gem and a good hearted good time! I binge watched your channel yesterday (mostly for country music reasons) but through your eyes, I've seen how much country music tells you a story and brings you on a journey you don't know you needed.
So Ms Britt, thank you for being a beautiful breath of fresh air. Oh and yes "bay-bee," I've hit that subscribe button from all the way in Australia. Cheers mate and continue to be great
They have many holiday albums you should react to !
Snow White. Sleeping beauty. Ariel. Mulan. Pocahontas. Sung by Kate, Tiffany, Ashley, Sarah and Chrystal.
Definitely go on a Christmas binge with Voctave. It's literally life-changing
They are not all Disney voices but about half of them do sing at Disneyworld in Orlando. In a group called Voiced of Liberty. You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet, Missy! EVERY video is a masterpiece of sorts. I have seen them 6 times in concert and, believe me, this is not studio/mixing magic. They sound JUST as good live and are just incredible. Glad you discovered them.❤
They're not all *current* Disney World singers but all 11 have worked at Disney World as singers at some point (and all 11 have been members of Voices of Liberty). Kate, Drew, Aaron, Karl are still VoL members, while Ashley and Sarah are subs.
These guys are amazing!! As others have said, I love the Disney Love Medley and the Prince of Egypt Medley. If you want to hear the guys featured I really enjoy the Disney Showstoppers medley and the Disney Villains and Heroes medley. Just to name a few.
Welcome to the world of Voctave the voice of Angels world❤
Hey Brit love your reactions. I would love to see you do The little mermaid medley by voiceplay
Great reaction! Voctave has lots of Disney stuff and ALL of it is mind-blowing! If you'd like to hear the men showcased, check out "Disney Heroes and Villains Medley". They also have great Broadway, movie and other genres. "Over the Rainbow" from "Wizard of Oz" is awesome. "Somewhere" from "West Side Story" and "You Will Be Found" from "Dear Evan Hansen" are equally incredible. And their Christmas repertoire is beyond belief. Please do more Voctave reactions! The Voctave rabbit hole is deep but most satisfying!
Popularity over contingency. Still ever so fabulous.
Listen to Where are You Christmas, bring tissues you’ll need them
Voctave- where are you christmas. Bring tissue!!.....hint!- ladykiller/cuteness overload!!!!!
If you’ve ever seen The Price of Egypt, Voctave did a medley of it, and it’s stunning. There is no MV for it, but it really doesn’t need it.
Voctave is an acapella choir 6 men 5 women
