the fact that you got that Lin was playing a nervous young Hamilton from him singing a single line says a lot about 1. you as a vocal coach and 2. lin as a performer. either way i'm in AWE
Who are you, who are you, who are you? Who is this kid and what is he gonna do? It will make sense later. Love the reaction. Hamilton is so amazing imo!!!
One thing I've always said about Lin is that he is an amazing vocalist sure, but hes a composer and writer foremost. He almost shoots himself in the foot in Hamilton by surrounding himself with through-the-roof quality vocalists and can sound almost worse by comparison. Don't get me wrong, he's still better than 90% of people out there in terms of singing, but it's for sure not his strongest suit.
Paraphrasing since I can’t remember his exact quote; Lin freely admits that, within this cast, he is the weakest singer, so he surrounded himself with an amazing cast and amazing singers. Lin isn’t a great dancer (per someone he worked with him on “In the Heights!” Lin SHINES when he raps and his stage presence is amazing! (“So, don’t act surprised, you guys, cause the wrote this!) If you go back and watch again you will notice that of all of the very active main characters, Lin barely dances and raps more than he sings. 🤨
No way man! Hamilton's less polished voice is perfect for his character, and it is such a good contrast to the rest of the cast. Sure, he isn't the best singer, but it isn't needed for his flawed and "unique" character. He is the "outsider", just there to do his own thing. And I personally really like the sound of his voice, and I think many do. The rest of the cast is amazing, and I really like their sound and how characteristic it is to each character. And all of them are more polished than Linn's, but Linn definitely holds his own on that stage. His voice is not a hindrance (I think) and it tells such a good story. When I listen to the other Hamilton, who has a technically better voice (and it sounds so good), I still prefer Linn'`s voice as Hamilton just because the contrast of his voice compared to everyone else's sounds very good in my ears. Sorry, I know this was so long ago. I just couldn't help myself lol
I absolutely love your reactions to Hamilton so far but... but... but... you can't cut it off here! You need to do this song and the next "My Shot" back to back! Please, pleeeease upload that one very soon! :)
You’ll love “You’ll Be Back” from Hamilton. You’ve got to react to it - Jonathan Groff does such a great job portraying King George and his voice is #chefskiss
My Shot immediately follows this song-they sort of blend into each other. The next would be Story of Tonight. You did the Schuyler Sisters, so next would be Farmer Refuted.
"Oh yeah, who knows how to say it now?" Diva plants are unimpressed. Not picking favorites, but that purple one is lovely. I like how your vids are fun and you let your personality shine through, but occasionally you casually remind us that you're not a layman at this. You know your shit.
You're so right about his choices in his performance. At this point he's young, a bit out of place, but energetic and determined, so it's cool that you can tell that from his vocal choices. In fact, I'm pretty sure all of them alter their voices at least a little bit to portray their characters to perfection, and it's a testament to all of their talents.
This guy is just amazing, brings a whole new dimension to understanding how the cast is able to do all these amazing voices. Great content!!! Can't wait 'till you get to my favorite Hamilton song "Wait for it"
The other Megan S agrees! It's been a couple weeks, and at this point you'll definitely have to relisten to Aaron Burr, Sir before moving on to My Shot as they are kind of a package deal. Hope you get back to the Hamilton stuff soon!
I'm curious about the difference in the sound of coming from the actors playing Lafayette and later jefferson, Hercules then playing Madison, lawrence then philip, as well as the actress playing peggy then playing Maria, each of the actors sounds very different to me in each of their dual roles.
3 minutes in and i just want to give you a lil fist bump for being the only person I've seen react to credit LMM with making any intentional vocal choices 😂
I am just discovering this but I want to encourage you to get Disney Plus once you get to the finale song for Act 1, as there is SO MUCH to be seen by the way the performers sing and the choreography and action on stage, and once you get to that point, the videos on YT dry up. It's completely worth the money (I say that as a fan of Marvel, as well as this), and there's a great episode of a series about songwriting about my favorite song from this, Wait For It. The second half has so much powerful stuff in it (including a song that's a treatise on grief) and I'd have for you to have to stop, your analysis is some of the best I've seen.
you have got to listen to "say no to this" !!!!!!! the one that plays peggy in "the schuyler sisters" plays the same character in "say no to this" & i think you'll enjoy the difference in character!!!
Love your posts - it's cool to hear the internal workings of voice!! I just wanted to give some insight into Musical Theatre - a lot of MT singers add nasality to their voices in these long runs especially to protect their voices with the 8 days a week runs. #funfact :)
Hamilton is supposed to be 19 at this point in the musical. Also he was to King’s college about his age. He told them he was younger so they would let him in.
This is great and I am very excited for this series (and to watch with my two young sons bc they love Hamilton and the theater) but I really want to know what that purple plant is???
Interesting when you demonstrated the sound that Burr was doing in his rap with the gang, because, you said it was uncool when you did it, But the point is that it was really uncool when Burr did it too. So I guess the actor created that sound to sound Uncool .
Not sure exactly how serious you’re being, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen Lin Manuel Miranda in anything, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say his name out loud, so what I’m alluding to is whether his name is Lin MAN-YOU-ELL or Lin MANWELL. It’s the pronunciation I’m talking about. ✌️
Since it has become harder to find Hamilton songs, I'm pretty much stuck with reaction videos. Kudos for these who watch and listen and then react. Otherwise, like this video, just got someone who likes the sound of his voice. I feel bad for anyone who was getting to see this scene but it was ruined.
You could have saved yourself the pain of having to watch me share my thoughts on what they are doing vocally by just clicking the link to the original video that I link in the description? Thank you for your comment about me being ogotistical though, it's a lovely thing to see after hours of work editing. Really put a spring in my step for the rest of the day.
@@SSTVocalCoach I couldn't make it through the reaction...I had to stop right before Mulligan. Interrupting art is extremely hard for those who put in the work. As a "vocal couch" I would think that you know that but apparently I was wrong. Any reaction by you is easily something you can do when it's over. Just make some notes and the minutes and seconds of something you want to point out. You can easily go back to those moments...it's pretty simple. I see quite a few people who react who pay attention closely and when it's over then they give their reaction...they are respectful enough to who put in a ton of time...more than you did hitting pause. They want feedback so they can be better "reactors". You can be willing to listen to those that watch especially when you want more subscribers, right? No fear, I won't be watching another one. Have a nice day but be careful when you bounce that you don't knock out some poor kid.
@@larynanntapp6333 Wow this is like rude comment bingo. I'll be taking no lectures about being respectful from a person who post insulting comments to people they have never met. If you want to see the performance in it's entirety before hearing my comments, then go to the original video, which I tag for that very purpose. I analyse vocals for a living (even though you put my profession in quotation marks, so i'm guessing you don't think i'm worthy of my post?) and when I hear something interesting, i'll stop and draw attention to it, so my viewers can learn in real time, and not have to keep rewinding to go to the part i'm referencing. I'm also totally open to constructive critisism, but I won't sit and allow someone to post abuse at me, even if they dangle the prospect of a subscription my way. I'd honestly rather not have people come on board if they're going to speak to me like that. In fact, going by most of the comments on this video, you're pretty much the only person who's had anything negative to say, so i'll hedge my bets and keep making videos the way I'm doing them. I'm also not sure what the last comment means regarding bouncing and injuring a child, but at this point, i'm past caring. Have a blessed life. You can watch the whole show uninterrupted on Disney+ by the way :)
I’ve just checked: Hamilton’s both on Spotify and Disney+ and both offer trial periods. Furthermore, VPN services also offer trial periods in case of regional restrictions. I bet there are channels during which the reactions tend to be either: a) Listening to the whole song and then being like “oh, ok, splendid, BAIIIII”. b) Doing like you said and then relying on people to remember what the person doing the critique refers to. c) Slabbing a 30-min reaction most of the people won’t be interested in. Apparently not here. RUclips has its rules and they’re not about catering to one person’s needs to find a recording cause they clearly can’t be arsed using official streaming services.
@@SSTVocalCoach Sir, vocal coach is put in parenthesis because without any form of verification, anyone can call themselves that and they may not actually be one. It can, and has been, used to basically fake people out with the belief that people will think they are more of an expert than they actually are...it's actually not specific to you and it applies to quite a few things. I am a retired EMT, volunteer firefighter and trauma counselor who is terminally ill and trying to find enjoyable things to see while I can. I wouldn't bat an eye if you put parenthesis around anything in that sentence. You mentioned a "spring in your step". So, a spring is usually bouncy which then creates a mental image of someone "bouncing" when they walk...it was a joke which apparently needed an explanation. Have a nice day. After my chemo, I'll be watching Hamilton on Disney+ like I have been for months! I just accidentally hit your clip when looking for something else. :)

If you want to hear more of Burr's vocals I definitely recommend "the room where it happens" its INCREDIBLE
Or "wait for it" 😉 it's my personal favourite
Yes both please
Who are you, who are you, who are you? Who is this kid and what is he gonna do?
It will make sense later. Love the reaction. Hamilton is so amazing imo!!!

Don't get me wrong, he's still better than 90% of people out there in terms of singing, but it's for sure not his strongest suit.
I kind of think his roughness makes it more punk, more 'real', more 'gritty' alongside his (definitively) more polished cast :-)
Paraphrasing since I can’t remember his exact quote;
Lin freely admits that, within this cast, he is the weakest singer, so he surrounded himself with an amazing cast and amazing singers.

So interesting to listen to this analysis. It makes is so much more complex. Have to watch and listen to the musical again. Thank you.
So refreshing to see a professional coach doing such a deep analysis.
Oh boy, after seeing your comments on Lafayette, I cannot WAIT to see your reaction to “Guns and Ships”! 🤣👍🏼
Loving these videos!,

7:31 honestly, having the crowd say "duh" at the spot you paused would have fit really really well 🤣
Yes, thank you sir! I love this musical and I love to see the reaction of professionals to it.
Whenever you post a video I wish there was more!
Need. Absolutely need the rest. Please keep them coming soon.
Plus more miley through the years (it's how I came across your channel)
The other Megan S agrees! It's been a couple weeks, and at this point you'll definitely have to relisten to Aaron Burr, Sir before moving on to My Shot as they are kind of a package deal. Hope you get back to the Hamilton stuff soon!
@@MeganTheLibrarian3 do it for the Megan S’s Sam!!
When he comes to New York, Hamilton is like 19 years old, so it would make sense that Lin Manuel Miranda would play him younger.
IVE WAITED FOR THIS FOR WEEKS
I cant wait for my shot
I just started watching your Hamilton reactions and they’re AMAZING! Please make more! ❤️
Yayyyyayaaaaaayyyyy
Bts now Hamilton wowwww!!!!
I'm 2nd
Omg exactly!!
Just two of my favourite things in the world!
Another great and detailed video! Looking forward to your next upload! :)
Listening to you explain what they are doing is something I didn’t know I needed to know.
Love this😍
Excited to see you reacting to more Hamilton❤️❤️
He did say he was 19 in the first song.
Finally!! Can't wait for the next one!
Loved this reaction. You gave a lot of good points
I'm curious about the difference in the sound of coming from the actors playing Lafayette and later jefferson, Hercules then playing Madison, lawrence then philip, as well as the actress playing peggy then playing Maria, each of the actors sounds very different to me in each of their dual roles.

he's going in the order of songs. he'll get there eventually.
@@kavtoM OH OOF okay sorry sorry then may he like it when he gets there eventually
Omg yayy I love Hamilton and this was really interesting to watch😊
“No ideia what that was, but that’s what it is” literally my life
Yay, at last, Hamilton song number 2, Great analysis. Hopefully next one is very soon.
Love your posts - it's cool to hear the internal workings of voice!! I just wanted to give some insight into Musical Theatre - a lot of MT singers add nasality to their voices in these long runs especially to protect their voices with the 8 days a week runs. #funfact :)
Can't wait for you to react to the three King George songs. He's so so talented!
please react to all the songs, im loving it
Just watch the whole thing. It's much better that way. You can react between songs.
Hamilton is supposed to be 19 at this point in the musical. Also he was to King’s college about his age. He told them he was younger so they would let him in.
This video was really interesting! I can't wait for the next ones!
More please!!!
U should look at the best Female Rock vocals around these days, Maria Brink.
Check out either 'Sick Like Me' or 'Big Bad Wolf' by In This Moment
This is great and I am very excited for this series (and to watch with my two young sons bc they love Hamilton and the theater) but I really want to know what that purple plant is???
Thank you! It's called a Oxalis Triangularis I think? It's really cool, its petals open during the day and close at night!
@@SSTVocalCoach thank you!! Definitely going to see if we have those in the States. And...check my posts for typos in the future 😬
YES
Hahaha when you do Hamilton's nervous voice, you get a little American!
Satisfy next please
He is only 19 but his mind is older.
Do more Hamilton!!!
Interesting when you demonstrated the sound that Burr was doing in his rap with the gang, because, you said it was uncool when you did it, But the point is that it was really uncool when Burr did it too. So I guess the actor created that sound to sound Uncool .
cant believe they cut the "who are you?" part
Listen to satisfied
Please react to Semalam AINAL ABDUL in MALAYSIA GRAND MUSIC COMPETION and GUNDAH ERNIE ZAKRI #AJL35
Please react to this boyband Prettymuch is song lonely🙏🏾😁
11Well I said I will keep commenting this so.......React to The truth untold by BTS
Hamilton is 17 at the time.
“....I think it’s his name...,” Pardon me., who do you think you are, Sir?
