Geoff made a delicious Scar! I want to know how he managed those visual snarls that I swear seemed to have fangs, when he doesn't. And I'm not sure yet whether that ROAR was actually Geoff with a bit of growl or a sound effect. I'm tending towards Geoff. Also Cesar was wonderfully 'vacant' portraying Ed. And Layne's 'scared' beatboxing that you pointed out was perfectly done too. The menace from Eli is less surprising. Even though he seems to be a rather sweet guy, he can do menace really well! The theatrics on this one were really superb.
The fellow you don't recognize is Mykal who was one of the founding members 1997 until he left for Broadway. It's good to see him. Geoff makes a great Scar.
A tip is to always watch both VoicePlay and Geoff videos with the captions on. They often bury a joke in them, as they did here. Layne put the action into a rap, to cover what's going on in the movie scene.
When they did Hellfire, some people thought the flow of the song was interrupted by the spoken parts. So after talking with patrons Layne decided to make the spoken section (from the movie) into a short rap. This does follow the animated movie closely. Although one big difference was Geoff’s interaction with Cesar (when he taps his nose). In the movie, Scar shakes Cesar’s hyena roughly. Instead, Geoff turns and shakes Layne instead.
@Wildecat10 That's hilarious, they really go all out on the theatrics. It's nice they're listening to their patrons, but I liked the spoken bit in Hellfire. Maybe I'm just in the minority there 🤷🏻♂️.
@@MikeBass4456 Well I’m in the minority with you. I really think that the spoken part adds so much context to the song for people who are unfamiliar with the storyline.
@@MikeBass4456 When Layne talked to people it was always a 50/50 split on the Hellfire dialogue. So he made it rap like this time so that maybe more people would like it.
Thanks for this reaction! VoicePlay videos are always enjoyable. Their guest is Mykal Kilgore. He was actually a founding member of VoicePlay back when they were a barbershop group just out of high school and before he left for Broadway. He left many years before they changed the group name to VoicePlay. Original group members were Layne, Geoff, Earl, and Mykal, then Scott Porter joined the group and they became "4:2:FIVE." The only other VoicePlay video that Mykal was in was "Just Sing," which they did during the pandemic shutdown as a fundraiser for musicians.
Oh wow, thanks for that info. I'm not as familiar with super early voiceplay but was aware that Geoff, Layne and Scott were originals. Great that he came back for this one and explains how easily he settled into the group.
@MikeBass4456 Most of us (newer fans) learn our VoicePlay history from Huldra Draco's YT channel. FYI - She labels some of her videos "reactor-friendly" if they don't contain spoilers. You will see her listed with the top tier patrons for both VoicePlay and Geoff's solo work. I believe that she lives in Norway.
Isn’t Geoff the perfect Scar? I love their dramatic pieces. They all get to play with the characters. It is a good thing we all know he is such a nice guy, because he looks positively menacing in this. I think that they may have chosen not to do a last really low sub because he did that lion roar just shortly before that. Since 2020, when Earl left the group, they’ve been one permanent member short and they fill it in with a lot of guest artists. It can be confusing because sometimes J comes back as the featured artist even though he was a permanent member for several years. I have not watched the replay of the Web chat yet, but I understand that Mykal is going to be featured in another one soon. When they have a guest artist that has to travel they usually will record two of them and then release them a few months apart. (the things you learn when you’re a patron😂). After you’ve seen a variety of their guest artists, you might want to watch their “Just Sing”. When you do, be sure to put on the captions because it will list each person, a few of the things they’ve done with VoicePlay and what they’ve done in the meantime. Mykal has been on Broadway among other things. If you’ve only watched their newer things since the pandemic, you may not recognize all the guest artists because this was done at the beginning of Covid. It was a fundraiser for musicians who were having trouble finding work.
Sorry, the reaction was too choppy, stop and start, and there's no value added. And dude, PLEASE, quit with your pitiful imitation of Geoff's low notes. It's embarrassing and cringe worthy.
@Wildecat10 Don't worry, I'm not paying much attention to it. I only stop if I have something to comment on, which is often a lot with Voiceplay. I only try to hit Geoffs low notes to demonstrate how he's hitting them, but am first to admit he hits them better and is a lower bass.
@@Wildecat10 Or if he’s that unhappy, he can choose not to listen to the next one. I don’t understand why some people are not capable of giving constructive criticism without being rude.

This was a fun and accurate reaction because I was likewise amazed and tickled by their cover. It evokes the same energy of Oggie Boogie for me.
@hollyryalsgrubb1273 yes, exactly! That's a fitting comparison with them having fun with character voices again.
…imagine you would watch/listen to Voiceplay with proper headphones 😱

TBH, Layne tends to deserve a good shaking more than Cesar. 😏

He's terrific 👏🏻
