Kristin and Jeremy are incredible, but Kate Lott, the descant soprano, is truly something remarkable. I've worked with her at Epcot in the Voices of Liberty and her voice just will not quit. Those notes aren't easy- there's only a handful of people in the world that can make them sound so effortless-and she never sounds screechy. Unbelievable.
Kate’s voice is truly a gift. She has the most beautiful modulation and control over her instrument. Singing those ultra high notes so softly and sweetly is not easy, yet she carries it off effortlessly every time. That’s God given talent and wonderful technique.
Kirstie and Jeremy's reactions, both in the absolute beginning and at the soprano, say what the rest of us also hear. These people can sing! I'm not that into Disney love songs, but with this fantastic arrangement and such talented people singing, i have to surrender..completely. ..and this clip simply makes me happy. I bet Kirstie and Jeremy has heard their fair share of brilliant singers. Love seeing them get all giddy :-)
Got to admit that I often wondered how guest vocalists react when they were put in with Voctave on a song. This just a glimpse and it's pretty much as expected. Would love to see more like this.
I love watching both Kirsten and Jeremy, both amazing vocalists in their own right just be awestruck. The raw power of making music together. These two groups need to collaborate more!
I'm crying. Bless you people and thank for living in this generation. We are so lucky to have you in this lifetime. Thank you Voctave, thank you so much.
What a fantastic awesome privilege it would have been to participate in this work, and to work with Kristin Maldonado would be awesome experience! Her voice is amazing!
Don't you just know they absolutely love doing what they do. To be able to open your mouth and have notes come out like that is just stunning and totally awesome.
omg each of their individual voices are amazing. I want to be a tenor but I suck. Listening to this point of view highlights the tenor parts too and their tenors are simply amazing.
I like the fact that a simple practice showing somehow gives more credibility and kudos to the main feature knowing full well it is only tweaked and not fully sound engineered. Big thumbs up
How about a video tracking a song from the very first run-through to the final recording? It would be fascinating to watch the process. I’ve NEVER been so awestruck by human voices and while the final recordings of this group are incredibly well-engineered, this short video gives a tiny bit of insight of how truly world-class these singers are without running the voices through the many signal processors used in studios. Show us what its like from the first time Jamie hands out the charts and they sight read it.
We just saw Voctave in concert. For the encore, they came to the front of the stage and sang with out any amplification at all, just them. They are every bit as good as you think! What was truly impressive was that ALL parts, including the low bass, could be clearly heard in a 1,900 seat auditorium.
I'm not sure there are notes high enough for her to need a falsetto. I mean at the end of the full song she sang a note just one octave below the highest note on the piano.
I wasn't gonna comment but since I've rewound the video literally 25 times since I found it I figured it warranted a comment. And every time, wether it's recorded or live practice, that one note makes me tear up.
Why "providing background", they are Voctave and they are featuring Jeremy and Kirstie as guest singers! In the arrangement there are moments when the ensemble is leading and the soloists are responding. It's not a run-of-the mill pop duo with session musicians as backing vocals.
This is great! I was just wondering: how were they feeling when they first heard that this was going to be so amazing. Jeremy Lewis is awesome: you see him enjoying working with these amazing people and smiling in awe in response to the voices of the other singers. This is what makes music great! You all deserve a lot of respect! Wow!
This. Part of what makes them so world-class is how they work together. No one is putting their voice forward over the others. They seem to breathe, and attack and release notes, all in accord. And make it seem easy. It's not easy! They are just that good.
This sounds better than the recording to me! Probably because their voices are actually meeting each other in the space, instead of being separated by the microphones. The overtones can mingle and ring, and it doesn't sound over-produced like the final recording does.
Its 1 of the most adoreable, fulfilling and wholesome moments that i have ever felt or seen. especially 1:20. these 2 seconds are enough joy for me to watch to be overly happy for the next few days! they just couldnt compose themselfs hearing this perfectly high note
the first soprano is holding my entire life on that one note.
I've never heard high notes like that delivered with such ease and grace. Kate Lott has a gift.
And well nourished through Bel Canto training.
haahahah yeah I share the same feeling.
D#6
LMAO old comment but so perfect.
love how kirstie and jeremy have the exact same reaction to the soprano as i did... just can't
+Toby Curtis then they all laughed in harmony lol like damn their all too perfect
+Toby Curtis nice to know that I'm not the only one
Who wouldn't be? I got excited 😆😆
The fact that it still sounds SO DAMN GOOD actually live as opposed to being recorded is freaking insane. How is everyone here so talented?
+Meeeeeeeegaan Musicianship! Hard work!
That shit pays off!
it called musically inclide
The same way you get to Carnegie Hall! ;)
@@Meegaan r
HAHHAHH jeremy and kirstie freaking out at 1:22 at the high note
+Steven Lee Oh my gosh, Yes!!
I think we all did haha
That soprano life goals, wow!!!
+Steven Lee who wouldn't lol she hit the note perfectly it felt like when I got my ear pierced
her name is Kate Lott

There are very few people in any field that are truly transcendent,, but we just experienced one.
OK after listening to this 75 times and getting over "Kate shock" as best I can,,, they are all transcendent.
They are all amazing! makes me miss singing in a group.
Loved the picture of your profile account! My favorite actress!
Kate’s voice is truly a gift. She has the most beautiful modulation and control over her instrument. Singing those ultra high notes so softly and sweetly is not easy, yet she carries it off effortlessly every time. That’s God given talent and wonderful technique.
That moment when the two leads realize the background is better than they are
1:16 the speed of her vibrato is PERFECT
The whole group can sync their vibrato which is truly stunning.
@@kimii2243 There is lol! You can hear the oscillation in pitch! LOL
She's perfect
@@kimii2243 there is
That Soprano @1:14 one of the purest notes I've heard.
Yes!
Kate Lott.
@@billiea9756 She is a space alien from the planet Soprano.
@@williamgreene4834 True! I am a soprano, but not a high, high one. She executes her upper notes so well. I admire and look up to her. :)
@@billiea9756 so you are a mezzo - soprano?
The leader of the group has 3 Gold Medals in the Barber Shop Quartet world on 2 different parts. All the singers are what we call "world class."
that explains it sounding like heaven, haha
which one is the leader?
Avin Kesuma at the beginning of the video you can see his left ear. He is to the left of Kate
Tony is not the leader of the group. He is conducting but he is not the leader or arranger. Jamey Ray is
Jamey Ray is the arranger, Tony DeRosa is the director. Says so on their website.
Kirstie and Jeremy's reactions, both in the absolute beginning and at the soprano, say what the rest of us also hear. These people can sing! I'm not that into Disney love songs, but with this fantastic arrangement and such talented people singing, i have to surrender..completely.
..and this clip simply makes me happy. I bet Kirstie and Jeremy has heard their fair share of brilliant singers. Love seeing them get all giddy :-)
When that amazing soprano kicks in .... Sorry... No one escapes the awe!
The sopranos sound EXACTLY THE SAME as the audio track!!!
Are u kidding me???
They sound exacly the same that in the recording!!!
Jesus christ, how good are these people!
Someone can think it´s edting voices on the recording lol
that high note though!
At 1:37 - ".. and we just keep singing. We're so bored with it." 7 years later, and this still makes me smile every time I watch it.
I love how Jeremy is so fascinated at what those people can do! And his reaction is just ugh 😍
She hit the high note like a boss
And she did it seemingly effortlessly like she could do it in her sleep and it's incredible :D
I love how all of them look to the first soprano before she sings the Eb! They're all so talented!
That soprano blows my mind EVERY time. 👏🏻👏🏻
wish the camera caught their reaction when the high note hit from the start. Do you haven anymore behind the scenes..these are cool
No, that's all there is
@@klararomanova6249 doggone, I so wish for more spontaneous takes like this...
Damn.. And that's just the rehearsal!
1:21 same reaction that I had!! Years later and I still get chills when Kate Lott sings
Their reactions at one another's talent are SO sweet. There's nothing like that feeling of pure joy, singing with super talented people.
jeremy's face when kirstie started singing :3
It's probably the choir, tbh.
How casually Kate is singing her part and Jeremy and Kristin were blown away!
My favorite part of this is that Kate Lott's voice is still so pure, unstrained, and beautiful in that high range. So beautiful!
The 2 kids are overwhelmed with beauty of the voices surroungding them..😍😍
Got to admit that I often wondered how guest vocalists react when they were put in with Voctave on a song. This just a glimpse and it's pretty much as expected. Would love to see more like this.
Love it how they were like still shocked or surprised how good it is from the start of the song :)
I love that they react to Kate in the exact way that any normal human would in that situation. AWE
Wwwwwwwww, I'm literally speechless! That soprano omg wow all the feels just crazy talent!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love watching both Kirsten and Jeremy, both amazing vocalists in their own right just be awestruck. The raw power of making music together. These two groups need to collaborate more!
I'm crying. Bless you people and thank for living in this generation. We are so lucky to have you in this lifetime. Thank you Voctave, thank you so much.
I love how at 1:20 Kate gives them this look, like "yeah, that was me"
Me too 😊
What a fantastic awesome privilege it would have been to participate in this work, and to work with Kristin Maldonado would be awesome experience! Her voice is amazing!
All of a sudden, I feel refreshed because of that smooth high note.
I must find that soprano...and marry her.
Her name is Kate Lott and she is spectacular!
She's already married, sorry!
@@ladyjane8855 Qu'elle soit heureuse. Je l'aime aussi
Don't you just know they absolutely love doing what they do. To be able to open your mouth and have notes come out like that is just stunning and totally awesome.
omg each of their individual voices are amazing. I want to be a tenor but I suck. Listening to this point of view highlights the tenor parts too and their tenors are simply amazing.
that QUEEN with those high notes! theres no way i would be able to watch this without smiling when i hear her
Kate Lott.
Aww! Kirstie's reaction was the best! Voctave, Kirstie and Jeremy sound so well together! Thanks for sharing!!
Kate Lott is the exact reason why I always beg my director to keep me with the 2nd sopranos xD What a freaking goddess!
Jeremy was like,"I'm sorry.. I can't. I'm stupid." LOL
"It's too good."
This is an old comment, but in case anyone was browsing (like me) I thought this could be helpful.
Every time I hear that high note it freaking knocks me off my seat!!! Dear Lord!!! That was angelic and goosebumps everywhere for real lol
I like the fact that a simple practice showing somehow gives more credibility and kudos to the main feature knowing full well it is only tweaked and not fully sound engineered. Big thumbs up
Soprano goals. I can hit the same notes, but the difference is her=angel, me=dying cat.

That would be amazing. I'd love o see that as well.

@@lowellkimberley OMG that has to have been an amazing experience. I would love to hear them live one day!
Yes to moments like these. Seeing the work and the fun.
I wold LOVE to see more of this type of rehearsal footage.
I bet if that soprano hits a falceto 1:15 high note she could shatter a house, stop pacemakers, and set off car alarms all at once!
Midori Dad cabbage
if she sang the whistle note riff from Mariah Carey's Emotions she would probably explode the earth
I'm not sure there are notes high enough for her to need a falsetto. I mean at the end of the full song she sang a note just one octave below the highest note on the piano.
Midori Dad No only dogs would be able to hear it.
Trueeeeeee
I wasn't gonna comment but since I've rewound the video literally 25 times since I found it I figured it warranted a comment. And every time, wether it's recorded or live practice, that one note makes me tear up.
I almost love this more than the finished version... their faces!
I never saw this video when it came out but I still love this Disney Love Medley and Kate's high note knocks me every time 👏👏
don't even care about kirstie right now, these guys providing background are freaking amazing. that saprano is something else..
Theresa Cast this is late....but it’s soprano not saprano
Why "providing background", they are Voctave and they are featuring Jeremy and Kirstie as guest singers! In the arrangement there are moments when the ensemble is leading and the soloists are responding. It's not a run-of-the mill pop duo with session musicians as backing vocals.
The rehearsal is as amazing as the actual
I cry every time when that Kate note is coming in this piece.
so much talent in one room
This is amazing in so many levels of incredible...
This is great! I was just wondering: how were they feeling when they first heard that this was going to be so amazing. Jeremy Lewis is awesome: you see him enjoying working with these amazing people and smiling in awe in response to the voices of the other singers. This is what makes music great! You all deserve a lot of respect! Wow!
Jeremy is tripping. He can't stop smiling!
he must love her a lot or at least realize how great the sound is
Geek Dragon he has a musical theater background, probably tripping more on the music than anything else.
i think honestly all of the above
The soprano one is an angel! ❤️ Her tone is so crisp and clear! Love it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
When someone's voice is soooo good and impressive, it distracts the whole practice. Its those moments which makes a memorable choir.
Really glad for this to prove that Voctave is nearly as effortlessly blended as I thought. It's not just the mixing.
This. Part of what makes them so world-class is how they work together. No one is putting their voice forward over the others. They seem to breathe, and attack and release notes, all in accord. And make it seem easy. It's not easy! They are just that good.
That 1st soprano... her name is Kate. Every time I hear her hit that high note, I imagine the gates of heaven opening up.
i want to do this for a living but i suck at singing lol fml
Me too. lol
So relatable it hurts
Get a voice teacher! Idk what you've done since it's been 3 years since this, but a teacher can help you a lot.
@@billiea9756 i took a couple of lessons but ive kept practicing since then, i would say ive become decent :) especially head voice
This was great! Reminds me of my musical theater days & rehearsing. More please.
Pure talent, God I love Voctave so much ♥
Dang!!! That soprano high note is so epic!!
I wish there were more behind the scenes videos about this project! So brilliant!
Fantastic Voices! I got goosebumps! Thanks! ..... out of reach of common people like me...
*Many Greatings from a german fan!*
Very cool to see the respect that Kirstie and Jeremy showed to likely the greatest vocal group in history. More than deserved..
Kate Lott has an amazing voice!! WOW!!
Lovely man!!!! you transmit that we feel at the distance but you are there..... love
:-) @ Jeremy trying to hold it together when those fabulous voices start singing.
I never leave comments but This is genius! So happy I found this
The 1st soprano just puts such a smile on my face. She's incredible (looks like Mr Lewis agreed!)
Wow...so magical!!! just gives me goosebumps!!! Great job guys.
Love you guys!
You are awesome.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
thanx for your wonderful music
can Disney let them have their own movie 😭
Never fails to make me smile. Nothing beats great music
The sopranos sound exactly the same as the audio track!! What the!!
How does one achieve such a perfect note- like i can't hear anything wrong with how she did that its like so great
Every single member here is a great performing artist!! thx for sharing!
Just... Amazing singers... casually being amazing together.
i missed this years ago., So fun to find it now.
THAT SOPRANO THOUGHHHH
Kirstin @ 0:06, "Boyfriend, we are in the presence of Greatness".
Kate Lott, the first soprano, has a special talent.
that soprano one of the purest notes I've heard.
This is ridiculous! In the most amazing way.
why?
That was a huge compliment,,, in english anyway.
Alright Pilkington, calm down!
oh my god!! They are really adorable!
I thought I heard everything in music but then you arrived :)
This sounds better than the recording to me! Probably because their voices are actually meeting each other in the space, instead of being separated by the microphones. The overtones can mingle and ring, and it doesn't sound over-produced like the final recording does.
It's room bleeding with talent. Ahhhhhrrggg soo goood!
Am i the only one in tears while listening to this?
Its 1 of the most adoreable, fulfilling and wholesome moments that i have ever felt or seen. especially 1:20. these 2 seconds are enough joy for me to watch to be overly happy for the next few days!
they just couldnt compose themselfs hearing this perfectly high note
OMGGG THIS IS SO GREAT
May hairs just gave a standing ovation on that soprano @1:14
beautiful moments ...thank you
