You've got Layne as the pulse of the ocean, Ceasar as the mournful ghosts emerging from the fog, Geoff as an anchor of iron and coral, Jose Rosario Jr as the noble captain facing down the darkness and Elie hoisting some vocal colors HIGH! And beckoning to us all is the siren of the high c's . . . i mean seas, Elizabeth; inviting us to join her in a celebration of fun, fantasy, and vocal technique. All hands on deck!

    A lot of reactors ignore Layne’s percussion, but it’s such an important part of Voiceplay’s sound. Not long ago, I was on hold with a company. Their hold music wasn’t bad, but I found myself thinking the percussion sounded so fake. But then I realized that it was real drums, and I was just spoiled by Layne’s making the percussion come alive!

    • @BrooklynSkateUSA
      @BrooklynSkateUSA 2 года назад +1

      Lol you obviously can’t hear how edited his percussion is, to the point that it sounds too real. Difference is layne is making the sounds which are being heavily heavily mastered vs using real drums. There’s nothing wrong with mastering the beatboxing because everyone’s singing is being mastered as well, but they’re putting a ton of reverb and giving snares way too much pop.

Because VP go that extra mile or 20 with costume, background, lighting, makeup along with each member of the group getting right into character, I watch their videos with avid interest.

She actually deconstructs and does analysis of the entire song, every single part of the arrangement. Peter focuses mainly on the bass, while throwing in opinions here and there about the overall song, and sections of it.

    I love Elizabeth's facial expressions, you can just tell what she's feeling and how excited she is to be doing something she loves and hearing amazing music.
    She's so expressive that even I can tell how excited she is, and that is saying something as I can't really recognize people's emotions unless they're at their peak.
    (Like, I can't tell if someone's sad unless they're literally crying, that must be why I like expressive people so much - That must be why Layne is my favorite VP member, did you see his expressions on this video? He's passing very well that 'less than sane pirate' vibe-)
    Also, does her giggle resounds in everyone's heads when they hear Geoff drop a low note or is it just me??

      Voiceplay are constantly outdoing themselves every time and make it harder to outdo themselves next time, but they always manage it... Somehow.
      I love the way they always include costume, lighting and a set do give a proper background to their songs, one of the few a capella groups who are TRUE performers and not just a group of singers.

    @billparrish4385 2 года назад +3

    Another great analysis, Elizabeth! I always learn so much from you, which enables me to enjoy elements I was not aware of, or if so, barely.
    One thing that struck me about the piece, was this sense of building, up and up, an arc that didn't seem to resolve, creating a tension so thick you could cut it with a knife (or a cutlass)! Its building intensity fully drew me in, and had me hanging on every line and note, to see (and feel) whatever might be around the next corner. While the child's thin, pitiful and distracted wail in the movie built somewhat into the crowd's beginning of defiance, this arrangement transcends that emotion, turning it into vehemence and power!
    But words fail me, and I don't know a better way to describe it, except maybe as this powerful cable, like a hawser on a ship, red hot and pulsating with energy, pulling me further up and up a mountainside, on a moonlit island.
    Hmm, still not quite right, but as close as I can come to it. Not this or that piece of the song, but the woven-together entirety of it!
    Anyway, thanks for your inspiring analysis! This group is doing some very great things...

    @aizukiwiart 2 года назад +6

    I’m so glad you went over that first line where Cesar harmonises hauntingly behind Eli, right before the first “yo ho” section - it’s one of my favourite moments of the entire song. I feel like Eli is the living pirate defiantly facing down the gallows/hangman, whereas Cesar has that melancholy lament of the ghosts of those who have already gone. It’s SUCH a cool combo. Cesar is my fave in this one - he goes 110% with both costuming and characterisation throughout :)

    • @Tryst46
      @Tryst46 2 года назад +2

      Cesar compliments the group so well, he's a great addition, I'm glad they found him.

Voiceplay is the most technically sound acapella group that's ever existed and they are always on point with their arrangements, accompaniments, choreography, lighting and sound and of course...five of the best voices you could possibly ask for. A sheer delight to the senses. Likewise...Elizabeth is my favorite reaction expert for a reason. She actually is an expert first & foremost and her deep dives into their performances brings music lovers a treat this Halloween season. The treat being her expertise, her enthusiasm, her capacity to be both silly yet adorable in the same breath...("I'm gonna spit all over everything, so I'll practice that off camera!") LOLOLOL. My wife thinks that I watch too much reaction videos, primarily from Elizabeth. I say that my wife is missing out on true education and entertainment.
