Voiceplay is by far my favorite acapella group. I am so glad you are finally getting to react to them! Great reaction. They have amazing covers. I can't wait to see more reactions of their covers. The bass, Geoff Castellucci (Jeff Casta-loo-chee), has a solo channel where he does all the parts. He has an incredible range. You definitely need to check his stuff out as well. both on Geoff's channel and Voiceplays, they do all their own arranging, videography, editing, costuming, etc. They do hire a steady cam operator and makeup artist when they need to. Check the video description to see who did the arranging and other stuff. Hope to see more on your channel.

Being a Opera singer you might enjoy Hall of the Mountain king or classical Chaos

Can't really say anything that hasn't already been said, but welcome to the rabbit hole. We have carrots. Please check out their latest, Stand By Me, which is simply gorgeous and wonderful and gives all the feels.

Welcome to the wonderful world of VoicePlay. The are my favorite of the acapella groups. I have subscribed to hopefully see more VoicePlay reactions and hopefully Geoff Castellucci (the bass, has his own channel) reactions. VoicePlay are known as the theater kids of acapella. T For VoicePlay, I would recommend: "The Drunken Sailor", "Valhalla Calling" (my favorite), "The Dragonborn Comes", "Be Prepared", "Hellfire", "Oogie Boogie Song", "Nothing Else Matters", "Thriller", "Stand by Me" & "Dream On". For Geoff Castellucci, I would recommend: "The LOTR/Hobbit trilogy ("Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold", "I See Fire" & "Song of Durin"), "16-Tons", "Unshaken" & "Jack's Lament". Goeff will clone himself in the videos, so it is all him singing the parts. He has an amazing 5-octave range. Welcome to the rabbit hole. No matter what you choose you won't go wrong. Enjoy.

Welcome to the Voiceplay Rabbit Hole.

Not much to add after all these fabulous previous comments, especially the one from @CynicalTesuji, who covered all the basics and then some, apart from my personal story: I was not particulary into a capella, but like it, when well done. So when YT pushed VPs Wellerman version in my feed l watched and liked it. I checked out their channel and so found their cover of Metallicas Nothing Else Matters, a live long fav of mine. I intended to dislike it, but got from 'HOW DARE THEY!' to 'WOW, this is MINDBLOWING, on par with the original!' That was hook, line and sinker for me, pulled me in and l don't see me leaving😅 Thanx for the fun reaction and l really hope for more.

You’re in for a treat with Voice Play. As far as harmonies Hoist the Colors is my favorite. They do A-1 in every cover plus you get a bit of a stage show with most of their songs. They’re the best and they do it with our record label funding about one a month. The bass Geoff, does his own covers in between. The four extremely talented members bring in one other very talented person to sing with them each month. They have their favorites and a lot of times it’s previous members. Voice Play is just perfection.

At this point, there are four members. Eli Jacobson (pronounced Ellie) [Tenor, although he can sing down to baritone] Layne Stein (Beatboxer) [AKA VioLayne, AKA The Carrot Lord, AKA The Velociraptor] Geoff Castellucci (Bass, although he has a 5 octave range) Cesar dela Rosa (Tenor, although he can also get down to Baritone) Those are the four core members. JNone is currently in the Navy (and may return after his time is up). They have a lot of guest artists.

They have a wide range of song, from things like Oogie Boogie's Song, to stuff like The Little Mermaid medley or Moana and a lot more. The bass has a mind blowing range you have to hear to believe [while I love this song, it doesn't show that range well, he can go from C♯1 to A5, and he is able to move through that at a rate that is amazing]

They're amazing. You need to listen to Vahalla Calling, Hellfire, Oogie Boogie, Hall of the Mountain King, Classical Chaos just for starters

Since VoicePlay (or the group of people whose name eventually morphed into VoicePlay) started out right out of high school back in 1997, a few personnel changes are to be expected. All 4 current members of the group are in this video, with the featured artist Jose Rosario Jr. taking taking the top center position. Layne Stein (beatboxer/baritone) and Geoff Castellucci (bass) are the two remaining original/founding members of the group, taking the front row (as is fairly normal for a beatboxer/bass combination in a smaller a cappella group). Top left is Cesar de la Rosa, the newest member, and top right is Eli (short for Eliezer, so pronounced to rhyme with jelly) Jacobson, who has been with the group for well over 10 years now. This particular video has a rather complicated history. The original guest artist (Anthony Gargiula, who has appeared in several videos with VoicePlay) was unable to make the filming due to COVID travel restrictions at the time. Jose Rosario Jr., who is located in Tampa, FL (VoicePlay is based in Orlando) was able to step in and help out the filming and recording, but his voice is very different from Anthony's, who had already recorded his part. So Eli stepped in and re-recorded the part that Anthony originally had recorded, and Jose re-recorded the part that Eli had originally recorded. While Eli's and Anthony's voices aren't exactly the same, they are much closer than Anthony's and Jose's, so the arrangement only had to be tweaked a little bit. Jose has also appeared in a number of VoicePlay videos, so working with him wasn't new, but in this case the "featured" artist didn't have the spotlight that they would normally have in a VoicePlay video - VP is very good about actually featuring their "feature artist". But being able to get the recording and video out on schedule was a huge help to VoicePlay, and Jose has appeared in several videos since this one. I'm sure others will give you all kinds of recommendations for more VoicePlay videos; I'll just say that they've truly earned the nickname "the theater kids of a cappella", and I very much doubt you'll be disappointed in whatever you listen to next!

No link to the original version???

Fun facts: (1) Stephanie Beatriz, the actress voicing Mirabel (youngest sister) was initially considered for Luisa (the older one) based on her deep voice in TV series role, until they found her natural voice and personality are lighter; (2) She was deeply pregnant while working it; literally was starting her contractions while recording song "Waiting for a Miracle" and her daughter was born the next day.

As others have said, currently they have a core of 4 people, likely keeping the 5th permanent position for J.None while he serves in Navy (but often sings with them as featured anyway). If you want to see most of vocalists they included in the past or have collaborated with over the years, watch their Just Sing (don't forget to have CC on while doing that)

Welcome, new Voiceplayer. You have set yourself on quite the musical journey. " Hoist the Colour's " is a fairly safe and tame introduction to " the theater kids of accapela ". My recommendation would be for you to follow up with the dual dualology of " My Mother Told Me " and " Valhalla Calling ". Both semi sea related, both costume involved, and though they have different guest artists tell a cohesive story when you watch/listen to them together. Not Voiceplay's first foray into musical story telling, but fun and more recent than other offerings. No matter what you choose to react to next from this group you simply can't miss, though.

You should hear. Valhala calling, Oogie boogie son, dream on, seven nation army, wellerman, we don’t talk about Bruno, …they are 4 now, Eli, Geoff, Layne and Cesar and they have a lot of guests…. I love them…. We almost forget there are no instruments, just their voices….❤❤❤❤❤❤

My best advice is to find songs or medleys you already love and watch those. Voiceplay always brings something new and exciting to their covers both musically and visually

Welcome to VoicePlay, the Theater Kids of the Acapella Trinity Groups of RUclips, along with Pentatonix, the most commercially known and Home Free, the Country Boys (though they do other stuff really well too. This song really amazed reactors when it came out. One reactor got so excited he jumped out of his chair from behind his desk...forgetting he only had boxers on. Qofy is his name. It was hilarious. If you're interested, I can give you some info on VoicePlay and tips for optimum viewing of their videos. Also, another acapella artist, Peter Hollens is worth checking out too. This particular song, I have listened to close to a million times. I'm not kidding! According to Spotify last year, at the end of November, I'd listened to it over 400,500 time, January through November. And I've listened to it just as much this year. I sleep to it, you see. It makes me feel like I'm being gently rocked. The kicker is, it's my third place VoicePlay song, after Thriller and Valhalla Calling. But those don't have a beat you can sleep to. Those are my recommendations, though you really can't go wrong wit VoicePlay, with any member line up.💜

Ah! You found my favorite music group! VoicePlay is the best in my opinion. I look forward to seeing you react to more of their videos. I hope you enjoy the Rabbit Hole as muxh as I have.

Welcome to the best a cappella rabbit hole on the Tube, at least IMHO 😅. Others already gave you lots of informations. I'd just add that 'til now there's NEVER been a single cover by them that didn't leave me speechless. 🙂 One of the things that I like about them is their self irony and sense of humour. Watch their, and I quote, "ridiculous version" of "Drunken Sailor" for proof... Or "We don't talk about Bruno!" from Disney's "Encanto". Or "Christmas don't be late (the Chipmunks song)". Or any of their Halloween releases (BTW, they - and Geoff - just OWN Halloween 😅), and many of their "normal" ones, if that word still has meaning with them 😁. As other said, Geoff has his own channel, which he started when the pandemic shut down pretty much everything. He doesn't pure "a cappella" there (he says that if he wants to do a cappella, he does it with Voiceplay, and it makes all the sense in the world), but he almost always clones himself into other 3 or 4 "parallel Geoffs", who even have NAMES mostly taken from the mis-spelling of his name so many people does. He's got an awesome range and uses it all beautifully. I love both Voiceplay and "solo Geoff". Just subscribed in anticipation for more VP and maybe some solo Geoff. 🙂 See you next time! PS: this video of yours doesn't appear in my usual search for VP reaction videos. Don't know why though. 🤔

WELCOME to the rabbit hole. TBH, go to their page and just pick a song, you won't be disappointed

Voiceplay are completely independent and make their arrangements, videos, lights, own prop and make up group. Really just browse their videos and pick one you are drawn to. They are elite on anything theater, game song, or halloween themed.

Welcome to the voiceplay and Geoff Castelluci rabbit hole. We are all mad here.❤

Okay, others have told you about the different members of the group, so I will just join them in saying welcome to the rabbit hole! You are in for such a fun ride.😊 And I am here for it - subscribed to watch more. If you want a song that is just straight up goodness, wholesomeness, I don't even know what more to say about it except that it's wonderful, check out their most recent release which is a cover of Stand By Me featuring Mykal (Michael) Kilgore who was an original member of the group back in 1997-98. Yes, they've been around that long. An older song of theirs that fits into the category of wholesomeness is their cover of Daddy Sang Bass. Would love to see you react to both of those. That one has a slightly different lineup- it includes Layne and Geoff, the two guys in the front row of this video, and Eli (Ellie) the bald guy behind Geoff. But then it also has Earl who was their high tenor, and who was also an original member of the group, and J.None, who was their baritone until he left to sing for the Navy.

Only 29 comments? The VP people haven't yet found you, lol They are amazing, and will keep you well informed. Have a wonderful week.

I would recommend everything by Voiceplay. Oogie Boogie is usually a jumping off point. Geoff, the bass, has his own channel and I would recommend everything there also.

Ooh, this is an excellent one to start on. It's well known for knocking the pants off of reactors (for one guy, that was ALMOST literal)! I tend to also recommend Valhalla Calling (pure Viking blood and thunder) and Nothing Else Matters (beautiful heartfelt song with a surprise from Layne, the beatboxer). If you like gaming and fantasy/science fiction, The Dragonborn Comes and the Halo theme are also worth checking out (make SURE to listen to the spoken explanation at the end of the Halo theme, it explains what the song means to the group and why they decided to sing it). As for members-Cesar is the guy with the creepy eye in this one, Eli (rhymes with jelly) is the bald guy with the trace of grit in his voice, Layne is the beatboxer, and Geoff is the bass. Guest members include Jose Rosario Jr, J. None (former member, only sometimes available because of his Navy duties I believe), Omar Cardona, and others. As a special extra for this particular group, you can search up Geoff Castellucci's channel-like I said, he's the bass-and watch him cover various things by layering his voice. He uses instruments with his. If you are a fan of fantasy, there are three songs from The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings, and also he has done a cover of The Sound of Silence which I personally adore. Really there aren't any true duds, and even the ones that I don't personally vibe with completely are going to hit someone straight in the heart, so poke around and find something that looks cool!

I hesitate to say this to an opera singer, but it’s always been my feeling that this is sort of like a mini opera. They’ve got pageantry, great music and a storyline. For years this was my favorite and it’s currently tied as number two. A very very close second. I think you’re the first reactor I have seen that caught on to the shackles! They will occasionally bring in something like that but it’s always shown on screen. You also noted one of my favorite parts visually when Jose lifts the sword into the air. This was finally knocked out of my number one favorite spot by their cover of MJ’s The Way You Make Me Feel. They have slowed it down a bit and made it kind of bluesy and jazzy. Very sexy. Most recently they covered a song they used to sing in the old days in front of pizza parlors and on street corners. One of their original members from high school join them , Mykal Kilgore. They released Stand by Me most recently. They do a lot of shorts, a minute or so long, and they usually film those in a vertical format and have been using an iPhone to record the video in the shopping mall where PattyCake Productions is located. (That is the production company that the boxer and one of their prior baritone co-own and many of their videos are shot there.) They wanted to give Mykal the whole video-in-the-mall experience so their most recent video was filmed in that format. It’s not getting a lot of coverage and I think it’s because people think it’s just a short but it is definitely worth it. Mykal has an absolutely astounding voice. He left the group to pursue a career on Broadway and has been very successful and has a Grammy nomination to his name. You remarked it’s never the person you think it is. Earl, who was the incredibly high tenor, was a pretty big guy and it always surprised everybody that tall lanky Geoff was the bass and big burly Earl was the high tenor😂. Liked and subbed and hoping you’re going to continue down this rabbit hole.

that facial expression where there's so many sounds happening at once and its so overwhelming but sounds so right..

Great reaction. Bravo, bravo, bravo DIMASH. Hello from QASAQSTAN 👋👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌♥♥♥🤲🤲🤲🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿

Check out THRILLER 😊

Welcome!!!They are fantastic you we love them!!!😊😊😊😊

Plus de voiceplay please 😁

Yeah, it’s always said they’re an award-winning QUINTET, even though they’ve only had four regular members for the last couple years. I think they’re saving a spot for J None to come back (you’ll meet him-he’s in a LOT of their videos as a guest even tho he’s singing for the Navy these days). Anyway, I’m glad you’re checking these guys out. Basically just point and click-there are no bad songs by this group. Have fun!!

VP is my favorite acapella group. The remaining founding members have been singing together for 20+ years. They're solid and so talented it's insane. Check out their cover of "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica....it will blow your mind.

Oohhh excited for a new VoicePlay, and hopefully soon Geoff, reactor. You're going to love it here. 😁

I have watched reactions to him for years. This has become my favorite reaction.

I sobbed so hard when I first heard this song. It hits every nerve and it’s so beautiful ❤

They are amazing!

The version from the "I am a singer show" from 2017 was better in my opinion.

You can't watch that and not get shivers. Pick a genre. Any genre. You'll be happy. Think of Pentatonix as the student council, Home Free as the guys having the tailgate at Homecoming, and Voiceplay as the theatre kids.

Димаш классный

This somgnis just amazing and beautiful cant get enough of it

Dimash is like a fine wine....he just gets better with time.

😍

My favorite group! They are so creative and talented, and always give 200%.

Voiceplay - Classical chaos is my favorite. Fun song for the Halloween season.

VoicePlay is incredible! Choose any song you find interesting and enjoy..
