thats the beauty i find in this movie, Jack whats to fuze Christmas and Halloweeen and fails miserably, but in the process makes a movie that can be watched at both Halloween AND Christmas
Apparently a lot of voice actors put gestures into their voice work. It helps them get into the personality of the character. Watch Mark Hamill if he reads Joker lines. Even if the movements are never translated from VA to animation, it helps them get where they need to be to convey something as simple as elation, rather than just reading it off a script with no movement.
I still wonder why he didn't just voice Jack himself. For the longest time I had no clue that Jack had two separate voice actors (speaking and singing), which proves that Mr. Elfman sounds just like Chris.
You can really tell by how he's only looking at a fixed location. that's what they taught us to do to make it easier. Look at one point, doesn't have to be crowd, don't have to make eye contact, just face forward and do your best
If you ever saw Danny Elfman back in his days of Oingo Boingo, and saw hot animated he was, the guy was wild and energetic, like the ska band Madness in their heyday, expressive, he was like a mad scientist with instruments. Here? Yeah, i think he's definitely a little nervous, you can sorta pick up the focus techniques like looking straight ahead, etc. This isnt to say he's bad at what he's doing, just impressed he was able to carry on through it.
Danny has amazing stage presence, I often wonder why he didn't just voice Jack himself..but then I remember he was also in charge of all the other music in the film and that's a lot on his plate for one movie. Best to just stick with singing, it sounds no different from the movie, and this was fantastic.
Danny Elfman a Singer, Songwriter, and Composer of Tim Burton movies and as the singing voice of Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas Legend 💜🖤♥️
While I can't count how many times I've seen the movie and listened to these songs, I never realized how difficult this specific song must be to perform live. He is a true magician and an amazing performer (on top of everything else).
will never forget seeing this live 2 years in a row. so amazing and the energy danny gives off singing this is amazing!! so sad i haven’t gone and there won’t be another one this year
I noticed that too, but I think he sang a few lines here more exuberantly than in the movie (which was already gold), so that more than makes up for it. :)
Did you notice he was the only singer in any of these videos who didn’t need the prompter? He still knows the words he wrote 30 years ago. Danny Elfman, ladies & gents
All those people, musicians from the orchestre, the singers, the maestro, the people who paid and came to watch this live, all of us here watching it on internet , we're ALL HERE BECAUSE DANNY ELFMAN EXISTS !
If you miss the beat they will notice.It may seem easy and boring but you are the best and from experience those around you will Follow your lead if they get lost.
Sleigh bells are also very hard to play. The sound occurs half a second after you shake it. This makes it difficult to play cuz u can’t listen to the sounds around you, you must pay attention to the conductor
As a percussionist, yes they must absolutely be perfectly in time, but, they're a blast to play because they are the loudest single instrument, and they're fun and sound cool.
What's this? What's this? There's color everywhere What's this? There's white things in the air What's this? I can't believe my eyes I must be dreaming Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair What's this? What's this? What's this? There's something very wrong What's this? There's people singing songs What's this? The streets are lined with Little creatures laughing Everybody seems so happy Have I possibly gone daffy? What is this? What's this? There are children throwing snowballs here Instead of throwing heads They're busy building toys And absolutely no one's dead There's frost on every window Oh, I can't believe my eyes And in my bones I feel the warmth That's coming from inside Oh, look What's this? They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss Why that looks so unique, inspired They're gathering around to hear a story Roasting chestnuts on a fire What's this? What's this? In here they've got a little tree, how queer And who would ever think And why? They're covering it with tiny little things They've got electric lights on strings And there's a smile on everyone So, now, correct me if I'm wrong This looks like fun This looks like fun Oh, could it be I got my wish? What's this? Oh my, what now? The children are asleep But look, there's nothing underneath No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them Or ensnare them, only little cozy things Secure inside their dreamland What's this? The monsters are all missing And the nightmares can't be found And in their place there seems to be Good feeling all around Instead of screams, I swear I can hear music in the air The smell of cakes and pies Is absolutely everywhere The sights, the sounds They're everywhere and all around I've never felt so good before This empty place inside of me is filling up I simply cannot get enough I want it, oh, I want it Oh, I want it for my own I've got to know I've got to know What is this place that I have found? What is this? Christmas Town, hmm...
That movie that you can watch on Halloween and Christmas too.
or like me, whenever you want throughout the entire year haha
My parents hate this unbelievable Moviework 😱
Exactly! It’s the last movie I watch on Halloween and I continue watching throughout the holiday season.
Had it on VHS as a kid and watched it whenever I wanted.
thats the beauty i find in this movie, Jack whats to fuze Christmas and Halloweeen and fails miserably, but in the process makes a movie that can be watched at both Halloween AND Christmas
I would be the dude in the back jiggling bells
lmaoo
I would be the little guys singing"iwiwiwiwi"
As a percussionist, I would've jumped all over that job!
For Disney? I wouldn't mine being the kid who turns the pages. It would be an honor!
As a percussionist I actually am 😂
I like how he’s dressed like Jack. :D
pinkflower7783 I didn’t notice until you pointed that out, lol
Or elton john is a goth
@· you must be fun at partys
The other guy was dressed as the mayor
He looks like he's having a delightful amount of fun. I love it! And all those gestures he does, which he clearly can't help but do. Fantastic.
Disney had some lovely actors who fucking enjoyed their songs. Like the Rock oh God.. they made his song just for HIM. Lol
Apparently a lot of voice actors put gestures into their voice work. It helps them get into the personality of the character. Watch Mark Hamill if he reads Joker lines.

@@DwarfyDoodad Well said!
700th like!
I still wonder why he didn't just voice Jack himself. For the longest time I had no clue that Jack had two separate voice actors (speaking and singing), which proves that Mr. Elfman sounds just like Chris.
RayRay Risin I guess because when they hired Chris, they had no idea he couldn’t sing 😂
Katie Denmark but he sang in the video game.
I think the speaking-singing distinction is like this for many American animated films.
Wow!!! I always thought Danny did Jacks singing and Chris did his voice acting....
@@Dean_Cooling what you always thought was correct
He actual has stage fright, this is incredible
how can you tell that? ( your probably right but i don't see any sings of stage fright)
@@Haywire_HotRod Google it
How did he ever manage to play all those live shows with Oingo Boingo?
I know he's losing his hearing, but the stage fright?

I had no idea his voice and Chris Sarandon's voice were not the same person. The flow between talking and singing is incredible!
elfmans a legend
This man has to be one of the most talented men in Hollywood. He did the soundtracks to most of the things I loved growing up
Yessss im currently amazed af this is my favorite
*Absolutely no one’s dead!*
HappyConstructor So no Dead Man’s Party then? 😂
I read it when he said it
There's frost in every window oh I can't believe my eyes
@@virgilsanders8912 and in my bones I feel the warmth that's coming from inside.....
@@dashiesbbgurl oh look in here
When the composer plays the best parts...
this is gold!! He's the best!!
why does this make me cry haha
nostalgia!
Preston Smith It's sooooooo wonderful.....that's why..... Edit: (😂)
I'm crying because this is the same voice actor of Jack Skellington from the movie, and it sounds so different.
@@bri10_youtube well it's been a while since the nightmare before Christmas came and his voice most likely changed as he got older.
Because you can't control your emotions?
Dude looks like he's cosplaying as Elton John
LMAO!!!
Amanda Croft he just looks like him
Hahahaha
Maybe they’re twins😁
Danny Elfman SINGS!? WHAT!? This is goin' STRAIGHT INTO MY BASKET!
do you not know oingo boingo?
I knew how composed but didn’t realize he sang for jack, but he use to be the lead for a band called Oingo Boingo
NEARLY 30 YEARS LATER AND HE STILLL SOUNDS ~~THE SAME~~ it's amazing!!
I love how when he said he wanted it, Elfman grabbed the Mic stand as if he thought it might try and jump away lol
Danny has amazing stage presence, I often wonder why he didn't just voice Jack himself..but then I remember he was also in charge of all the other music in the film and that's a lot on his plate for one movie. Best to just stick with singing, it sounds no different from the movie, and this was fantastic.
Damn i just LOVE Elfman´s music and creatice input. Very inspiring. Great guy!
It's amazing how Jack Skellington is voiced by both Chris Sarandon (talking) and Danny Elfman. (singing) They sound the same.
This is my favorite song in the whole movie! Elfman still looks like he's having a blast!
I love him and those stupid looking orange glasses
Stella Octangula They could be color blindness lenses?
Danny Elfman a Singer, Songwriter, and Composer of Tim Burton movies and as the singing voice of Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas Legend 💜🖤♥️
I wish I could meet Danny elfman he is my favorite singer
I am going in October!! I have seen Elfman perform many times...SO excited!
While I can't count how many times I've seen the movie and listened to these songs, I never realized how difficult this specific song must be to perform live. He is a true magician and an amazing performer (on top of everything else).
What's this? WHAT'S THIS ?!?!? I think this song's on point! What's this? WHAT'S THIS ?!?!? I need to smoke a joint!
Cheetos Christ nice one!!! 👍🏼
manano06 thanks bud
Bloody brilliant 😅🤣
This just made my day.
lolll
The orchestra ... the music, it's just so amazing.
Danny Elfman is magnificent. Glad I got to see him in concert when his band Oingo Boingo was still going in the 80's. He's the greatest.
One of my favorite childhood movies with such an awrsome soundtrack 👌🏽
will never forget seeing this live 2 years in a row. so amazing and the energy danny gives off singing this is amazing!! so sad i haven’t gone and there won’t be another one this year
Watching this Christmas morning 2018...my holiday is now complete
My heart. I had chills the whole time and the fact that this was uploaded on my birthday makes it even more special to me ❤️❤️
this would be gold if his "inspired" was as epic as it is in the movie.
TheFxyO he is the singing voice of jack in the movie
I noticed that too, but I think he sang a few lines here more exuberantly than in the movie (which was already gold), so that more than makes up for it. :)
Danny Elfman is so dang talented... Awesome!
Did you notice he was the only singer in any of these videos who didn’t need the prompter? He still knows the words he wrote 30 years ago. Danny Elfman, ladies & gents
He actually had a problem with forgetting the lyrics to his own songs out of stage fright when he was in a band.
What a voice!!!
He’s an incredibly talented man
The percussionist did a great job!!
I LOVE THIS SONG
i love the song what is as danny elfman
he is the best in the movie and live, besides i was there.
Where did you see this you lucky basterd!?..lol, sorry.. Im so jealous. Ha. Looked like a great time. Love this film.
I love this ♡♡♡
Nayadet Lopez p
best composer of this age.
Me: "Who is Dann--"
(Starts singing)
"--Y OH MY GOD"
I love Danny Elfman
All those people, musicians from the orchestre, the singers, the maestro, the people who paid and came to watch this live, all of us here watching it on internet , we're ALL HERE BECAUSE DANNY ELFMAN EXISTS !
The absolute genius that is Danny Elfman , just amazing talent
your zoom is amazing!
Elfman is a GOAT
I'm glad I saw this! This was great.
I was there too! haha and Wow the camera captured everything clearly. May I ask what kind of camera you used?
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-ZS19 :D
Todd Malkin wow something that isn't an iPhone.
I love that face he makes everytime he sings a part
I kind of wanted to see his voice sync up to the footage.
Danny Elfman and Tim Burton are the most talented filmmakers working today
Danny Elfman is the BEST!
It's heart warming to see that he didn't need a voice box and that he is the true voice unaltered for jack
I'm so emotional, I love Danny
And I'm singing along, this song, iconic👏🏽
He’s incredible
This is crazy I watched this movie on Halloween and today, on Christmas.. and I celebrate NEITHER OF THEM 🤯
i like that the guy who's singing is wearing part of jacks style
I wanna die!!!!!!!!!! Omggggggg thank u for uploading
Poor guy with the Bells to be honest managing the bells must be pretty boring
BellaTRN being the bells is a big job you need to get your notes right or else the whole thing is ruined
If you miss the beat they will notice.It may seem easy and boring but you are the best and from experience those around you will Follow your lead if they get lost.
Sleigh bells are also very hard to play. The sound occurs half a second after you shake it. This makes it difficult to play cuz u can’t listen to the sounds around you, you must pay attention to the conductor
The bells act as a metronome at times.. If its off everyone will as well. Every instrument is as vital to a song as the other
As a percussionist, yes they must absolutely be perfectly in time, but, they're a blast to play because they are the loudest single instrument, and they're fun and sound cool.
OMG!
thank you for sharing. I love it. :)
He's like a mix of Mark Hamill and Elton John
Thank you mr Elfman.
lovely🎃
I dream of one day singing Jack's Lament with Danny Elfman.
Amazing
I want to be sleighbell man at the back. This looks like fun. This looks like fun.
-God Danny elfman is so amazing
*WOAH SO COOL*
I LOVE THIS OMG
Things I never thought would happen: me getting turned on by the words, "no ghouls," but the way he says it just then really got me going.
What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
What's this?
What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
There's people singing songs
What's this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?
What's this?
There are children throwing snowballs here
Instead of throwing heads
They're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's dead
There's frost on every window
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmth
That's coming from inside
Oh, look
What's this?
They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unique, inspired
They're gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What's this?
What's this?
In here they've got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?
They're covering it with tiny little things
They've got electric lights on strings
And there's a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What's this?
Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there's nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Or ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamland
What's this?
The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around
Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Is absolutely everywhere
The sights, the sounds
They're everywhere and all around
I've never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough
I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I've got to know
I've got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?
Christmas Town, hmm...
Coachella 2020 gonna be the best!
My favorite song for Halloween >0
Would LOVE to see this
I absolutely love this 💋
That mans going nuts on them sleighbells
When I go to heaven I’m gonna go to the nightmare before christmas
Trans-siberian orchestra you band is awesome my friend 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
