Yes, Layne did that with just his mouth. He is an amazing beatboxer and his arrangements are so good. Geoff just released a new video today and VoicePlay released their last video with J. None yesterday, it's a cover of Man In The Mirror, you should check it out. I think you would like that one and their Queen in 5 Minutes video too. I love VP they are incredible
Hey Trisha :) That is absolutely incredible! I'm blown away by the beatboxers in VoicePlay and Home Free! I spotted Man in the Mirror in my subscriptions :) It's so weird seeing cool songs come up and knowing that I need to have my lights and camera on before I can watch them!
@@CoverCoach I think to say that it was made with _just_ his mouth is a little deceptive. Layne recorded the sound and then it was altered in post processing. Essentially all of the percussion is altered in post, either isolating the high end or running it through a filter to get the desired sound. I personally much prefer unaltered Acapella, but Voiceplay and Home Free (Who also do the same type of adjustment on the percussion) are my two favourite groups nonetheless.
@@CoverCoach My Audio Technica M50X's have survived an entire pandemic worth of Geoff's voice. Of all my 'phones they are the only ones that do him justice across his full range.
Misty Mountains Cold is my favourite from Geoff. I can get all of the notes myself, so I love to sing along and have been watching a lot of Geoff's tutorial videos on how to sing low notes. I've learned a lot from him in the past few months. I can now almost Match Geoff note for note, but I'm not a professional singer so, I don't have the same power he has.
Yes it was his mouth. I fully believe that Layne stein was either built by Yamaha or at the very least delivered on the factory floor. Nobody can convince me otherwise.
Nice work, darlin! I loved your reaction, especially when Geoff came through with that viking-esk foghorn sound. I've gotta say, my personal favorite part of the video is when Eli (pronounced "Ellie" -- the tenor with the smoky black triangles under his eyes) absolutely sends the chorus with that almost fried tone in his voice. The passion and range, stunning stuff. I'm glad you're continuing to react to Voiceplay's work, I hope you remain amazed!
Hey Mikal :) That's awesome! Thanks for the kind words :) Yeah, absolutely blown away by VoicePlay and the talent each member brings to that unique sound.
Oh, man! My butt is still shaking from Geoff's earthquakes! 🥰 Their style is very unique, and they really get into character! Yesterday (May 28) VoicePlay released a cover of Man In The Mirror, you should check it out! It's bittersweet, as it's their last video with J None, the baritone, who just left to join the Navy Band. And today Geoff released his cover of Saddle Up. It's so much fun, I love it 🥰🥰 Good to see you back, Coach Phil! Thanks for this reaction!
As someone on one of his tutorial videos wrote: "It's easier for a person to sing low notes when they have a speaking voice that's measured on the Richter scale."
There are no beatboxers touching Layne Stein or Adam Rupp of Home Free for their innovation and techniques. These two are on a level that's different; they are vocal sound-effect experts, on top of world-class beatboxers.
Hey John :) I totally agree. The sound effect here from Layne didn't even sound human...I suppose that's the point! :) And Adam's castanets in the Sea Shanty Medley...
I forget what it’s called, but I believe Layne used a technique where he makes the sound while inhaling instead of while exhaling the way we normal humans do.
Waterfall harmonies, Geoff’s low notes, and Layne’s sheer variety of vocal percussion are signature VoicePlay. They have non-costume songs as well. The latest is “Man in the Mirror” but I also love “I Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Thanks for your reaction.
5:38 - "It was like he did it in reverse!" This is making me giggle, because he made that sound by doing a type of ingressive trill, so it was literally the reverse of how we normally make sounds 😂 Anyway, great reaction! I somehow missed the Misty Mountains reaction, so on my way there now 😄 Edit - well, I would be, but I think it either got blocked in my country, or got de-listed. If the latter, I hope you can get it back up, I'd love to see it!
Hey :) Haha! Yeah, that was such a fantastic effect. Ingressive trill - I've not come across it before. Thanks for teaching me something new! :) Misty Mountains is still on its way :)
@@CoverCoach I'm not sure if that's what a beatboxer would call it, but that's what a linguist would call it 😄 Oh, I'm glad that I hadn't missed Misty Mountains yet! I'll keep an eye out for it!!
Some good suggestions : Misty Mountains Cold by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust, Catch the Sandy Claws (Voiceplay) Oogie Boogie's song (Voiceplay) Your a mean one Mr Grinch (Voiceplay) Sixteen Tons (Geoff Castellucci) Ring of Fire (Home Free) Man in the Mirror (Voiceplay) I'll leave it there for now, when you have heard all of these then I'll drop some more. You wont be disappointed listening to them. 😊🍻👍 Welcome to the A Capella rabbit hole, it goes deep. 👍🍻
Hey :) Those sound like awesome suggestions! Thank you :) Haha! Yeah, I'm surprised I get a mobile signal down this hole - I could mine for gold down here!
Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays version of The Dragonborn Come. Best version ever, especially Geoff's low bass notes, Elie's high notes & Layne's beat boxing.
Always fun watching you do these. First like btw. Geoff, Tim, and Avi are the reason I started messing with singing low in January. Kind of addictive. I like trying to get the low parts down. They jump around a lot. Was just gonna suggest Misty Mountains to you when it got to the end and you said you did one already. Didn't get the notification for that one I don't think. Cheers!
Hey :) And I always appreciate you saying hi! Yeah, Geoff, Tim and Avi are so inspiring and when they sing, it sounds so impressive :) I'm a bass-baritone so I look at these guys in absolute awe! What sort of voice do you have? I recorded Misty Mountains on the same night as this (so watch this space!). Always appreciate your comments. What can I call you?
Yeah, Layne can do anything! Check out their cover of "Attention" with Rachel Potter. He does some real interesting stuff in that one too. Your Misty Mountains video isn't on your channel yet. I've been working on singing that one an octave lower than Tim's part. Haven't managed to stick the landing yet tho!
@@CoverCoach He has those notes down there, little speaker killer that he is. I saw someone say he had a G0, so I started trying to see if I could get there. Everything below D1 is unusable for me so far, but I want to get to that G# just to see if I can without sub-harmonics.
Norman, that sounds so exciting mate! Anything in the 1s is crazy low, so to be heading for the 0s...you'd better take a hard hat because you're singing from the crust of the earth! :) Do you have any videos of your music?
@@CoverCoach I don't have the equipment or the guts to put anything up. Maybe if I can get that 5th drop to the last note I'll try posting one, or just send ot to you. I hit it a couple of times, but it's thin. Got to get it usable ans consistent.
Speaking of atmospheric...If you listen (I recommend headphones) carefully, you can hear flames in Geoff’s frame, wind in Layne, Eli and Jose’s, and water in J None’s.
If I remember correctly Eli created the backgrounds in a program for rendering games, I can't remember the name of the program though. Also, if you haven't yet, you need to Listen to their cover of Oogie Boogie's Song. (And the Little Mermaid Medley and Queen in 5 Minutes... I could keep going... just watch all of them to be safe.)
Layne does a similar effect in Voiceplay's version of Hoist The Colours. Best to listen with stereo headphones as it goes from right to left across the speakers. All of Voiceplay's stuff really needs to be listened to with headphones because, with normal speakers, you miss so much of what is really going on, especially with Laynes beatboxing.
crazy to think this song is over 1000 years old and was written as a poem by a 7 year old after his first murder, describing what his mother said to him after he killed a 10 year old boy with an axe, his father was not pleased however. and years of vengeance killings ensued i believe.
I thought that most people would be commenting on that- so I'm now wondering if something went wrong for a few of us? It seemed to skip from the comment on Layne's awesome effect to talking about the Peter Hollens/ Tim Foust vid.
Hey :) I know! I'm so glad you said that! I didn't want to stop twice to talk about the same thing, but they totally brought the pop sound later on. These guys are fantastic! :)
Geoff is getting very close to being able to do full on throat singing in this. Based on some things he's said in other videos, he wants to be able to do it.
hey im really enjoying the videos. can you react to Allison Young doing "I Fall To Peices" by Patsy Cline or "You Really Got A Hold On Me" by Smokey Robinson?
Hey. You have quite deep voice with nice fry👍. At moments you remind me Geof's parts in Oogie Boogie song( of course exept the lowest notes😁). If you didn' listen to, you should. Best wishes 👍. P.S.: meybe you will try to sing as mr Oogie Boogie..a little bit..
Yes, Layne did that with just his mouth. He is an amazing beatboxer and his arrangements are so good. Geoff just released a new video today and VoicePlay released their last video with J.

You need to invest in a good pair of headphones to listen to Geoff. VoicePlay and Home Free are my Top Favs.
Hey :) You're right - but not too good because he might blow them out! 🤣
@@CoverCoach that's a possibility.
@@CoverCoach My Audio Technica M50X's have survived an entire pandemic worth of Geoff's voice. Of all my 'phones they are the only ones that do him justice across his full range.
I would recommend "Sixteen Tons" covered by Geoff 😁 If I could I would listen to it all day 😅
Misty Mountains Cold is my favourite from Geoff. I can get all of the notes myself, so I love to sing along and have been watching a lot of Geoff's tutorial videos on how to sing low notes. I've learned a lot from him in the past few months. I can now almost Match Geoff note for note, but I'm not a professional singer so, I don't have the same power he has.

Blows my mind that people still listen to these guys or Home Free with out headphones.
Hey :) Haha! I know! Who would even do that?! 🤣
Anyone else feel like Geoff's notes in this song in particular rattle your very soul?
Nice work, darlin! I loved your reaction, especially when Geoff came through with that viking-esk foghorn sound.

Hey Mikal :) That's awesome! Thanks for the kind words :) Yeah, absolutely blown away by VoicePlay and the talent each member brings to that unique sound.
Eli has got the kind of voice and power you'd expect frrom a rock singer. He can really belt it out when he wants.
Oh, man! My butt is still shaking from Geoff's earthquakes! 🥰
Their style is very unique, and they really get into character!
Yesterday (May 28) VoicePlay released a cover of Man In The Mirror, you should check it out! It's bittersweet, as it's their last video with J None, the baritone, who just left to join the Navy Band.

Good to see you back, Coach Phil! Thanks for this reaction!
Hey Alex :) Yeah, the way the guys create character with so little words to sing is so cool! That sounds so exciting and sad for J None!

Well Adam is/was the reigning world champion of beatboxing and it’s not hard to see why.
I forget what it’s called, but I believe Layne used a technique where he makes the sound while inhaling instead of while exhaling the way we normal humans do.
It's called a inhale note
@@portiaheaven2979, I have a friend who is a master at them... he can match my G0 subharmonic using them and he is a high tenor!
No greenscreens, everything is natural that you're seeing and all that you're hearing is all natural voices
:D those backgrounds where made by Eli i think with unreal engine if i remember correctly dont pin me on that
Waterfall harmonies, Geoff’s low notes, and Layne’s sheer variety of vocal percussion are signature VoicePlay. They have non-costume songs as well. The latest is “Man in the Mirror” but I also love “I Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Thanks for your reaction.

You're doing yourself a great disservice by not wearing headphones when you listen to these guys.

Unreal Engine is that name you were looking for
The backgrounds were done in Real Engine by Eli if I remember right. I use that software myself.
Layne is great at his vocal beatboxing!!!
Voiceplay is the theater kids of the big three
You should do Voice Play's Hoist the Colors. It also has Jose Risario Jr and Amazing costumes and makeup.
Layne does a similar effect in Voiceplay's version of Hoist The Colours. Best to listen with stereo headphones as it goes from right to left across the speakers.
All of Voiceplay's stuff really needs to be listened to with headphones because, with normal speakers, you miss so much of what is really going on, especially with Laynes beatboxing.
Hi from Minnesota we are the brith place of home free plus lots of us here are Scandinavian decent Skol 💜💜💜💜💜
The backgrounds were made by Elliot, the guy in the green background, they were made in Unreal Engine 4
You should check out Geoff’s version of Mist Mountains!!!
crazy to think this song is over 1000 years old and was written as a poem by a 7 year old after his first murder, describing what his mother said to him after he killed a 10 year old boy with an axe, his father was not pleased however. and years of vengeance killings ensued i believe.
Don’t know what happened. The last part of VoicePlay's song is missing from your reaction. 🤷🏽♀️
Great reaction, though!
I thought that most people would be commenting on that- so I'm now wondering if something went wrong for a few of us? It seemed to skip from the comment on Layne's awesome effect to talking about the Peter Hollens/ Tim Foust vid.
Yep it definitely is a very abrupt cut at the end
They are using green screen. The backgrounds were made by Eli using the unreal engine that they use in video games.
If you do Halo, you'll hear Geoff hit B0 twice. Watch it all the way through.
If you haven’t seen him yet you should check out some of the covers Tomi P does his notes rival Geoff
Loved your reaction to this little masterpiece.😊
Hey Nikki :) Yeah, it's awesome! Thank you so much. Have a fun day :)
You didn't do the whole song in the video. What happened?
Hey Joseph :) Well spotted mate! When it went black a few seconds from the end, I thought it was finished! 🤦♂️ Shocking!
I noticed that too lol
Yes the best vox part is real and was made with his mouth
Phil "I really love the pop sound"... Us knowing what's coming at around 3:30... You just wait my friend, you have not heard anything yet. 😉
Hey :) I know! I'm so glad you said that! I didn't want to stop twice to talk about the same thing, but they totally brought the pop sound later on. These guys are fantastic! :)
