Layne, Geoff, and Scott were all in the same middle-school choir. Can you imagine? Unreal.
*High-school choir.
The lesson to be learned from Voiceplay is that A Capella is NOT a group of people singing. It is a group of voices producing a full musical production.
Now you can go watch the Charismatic Voice's reaction/ analysis with her special guest - the composer himself.
I love how excited the composer gets over VP's performance in that one!
Will definitely check it out!!
@@dj_410 The link to Charismatic Voice and composter reaction is: ruclips.net/video/ivqFcmplyDc/видео.html . She shares your love of Geoff, and has even interviewed him on her channel.
Rek was a crew member. He worked with them on album art, stage work, sets and props.
Thank you for reacting to the Scott outro...it makes it mean more. Most reactors have missed it or watched it offscreen afterwards which I think is sad...
Scott was with them way back and is now an actor. He's in Lucifer and Ginny & Georgia as well.
The outro was truly beautiful and I'm so glad I got to see it! Big thanks to all the fans who warned me about it!!
And just a note from a fan, DJ. There are a few videos especially by Pentatonix (Penn-Tah-Tah-Nix :) ) and Home Free and others where reacters have cut the video off, because there's a quiet/dark part NEAR, not AT, the end.
The audience/commenters can always, of course, let the reacter know afterward, but by then, it's usually too late.
Imagine, by Pentatonix is one such video, and there are others.
@@dj_410 Scott Porter was a founding member of Voice Play then he went into acting. He came back to do this video with the rest of the group. He was the original beatboxer of the group & Layne took his place as beatboxer when he left.
Rek is seen briefly in Boy Bands in 5 Minutes, handing off the sandwich when the boys are around the fire in the drum.
Scott Porter was the original Beatboxer for the group he has since gone on to become an actor he played Jason Street in the NBC television drama Friday Night Lights and was in the tv series Lucifer
Thats so cool! I was wondering why he left but that makes perfect sense!
Right there with you. Rest in peace, Rek. This was the most beautiful tribute, and VoicePlay did it with honor. They truly do have a gift for connecting on an emotional level as well as producing high, high quality vocals and visuals. One of the many reasons I love them. Thank you for reacting to this! (And thanks to plushy Master Chief for co-hosting, too.)
Plushy Master Chief appreciates you and your lovely comment 😀
@@dj_410 Scott Porter was an original member of the group but left to become an actor. He does make a featured appearance once in a while. The part Cesar does was actually in the background in the original & you didn't hear it as loud but Layne made him front & center with his voice.
I had to drag out my old PC game after they released this one. My son won't play FPS games with me anymore as he just can't take a well-placed HEADSHOT! Scott Porter used to be the beatboxer for the group. He left to pursue an acting carrier. Then Layne stepped up and Geoff taught him how. Arrangement - Video - Layne Stein at Patty Cake Productions. The creator of this absolutely loved what they have done with his music. I always get teary, Rek was only a year younger than my daughter.
Hahaha my little brothers are the same with me! Funny how it's easier for them to tall smack before I stopped going easy on them haaha
You had to stop the outro in order to not cry. I'm not shy to say that I cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Yes, now too. 🙂
So many other reactors totally missed this last part. To me, and you got it perfectly, it adds such a powerful level to the whole thing. 🙂
Moreover, I use to say that this outro is "a window opened on them as human beings", and I think you got this side too. 🙂
Thank you for your reaction, and thank you for watching it to the end and for sharing your feelings. ❤
See you next time!
So glad you enjoyed the reaction... I feel like that end story just made me love them as people aswell as artists! My love for them grows with every reaction!
You're not the only one.
You, my good sir, are adorable. Full on Golden Retriever Puppy adorable.
Aww you're so sweet! ☺️
If you check the description box, for every video they list the credits of who did what, like the arrangement, video production, editing, etc. So you can check that if you’re ever curious!
The reason Scott Porter fits in so well, is probably because he was part of the original group. Great reaction!
You might enjoy Voiceplay's Road Trip, it is from a long time ago, with a young Geoff (short hair and a bowtie, very nerdy!) and with Earl (his voice will certainly surprise you!) who left Voiceplay a few years ago. And Layne's singing solo will have you holding on to your chair! Tony Wakim who also has left the group is in the front seat next to Eli (he and Layne co-own Pattycake Productions Studio where Geoff and Voiceplay do all their recordings, and Tony is still often involved with behind the scenes work). Enjoy the very deep Voiceplay rabbit-hole😁
This sounds awesome! Will definitely add it to my list!
Geoff wears a Bowtie now... Bowties are cool! (Sorry, never could resist a Doctor Who reference 😀)
You defenetly should watch this. It is so much fun. It shows how they perfom live on stage. It is one thing to produce music in a studio and another to perform it live.
Road trip is a lot of fun, but fair warning...
it's more of a musical skit than a song. That one and the full chicken song are so funny, and it makes me wish they were still doing those tours, I'd love to see them live.
@@Snapdragonflie Oh yes full chickensong. 😂😂
@@dj_410 Fez's are also cool! Best is bow tie WITH a Fez!
As already mentioned, Scott is an old member of the group who has gone on to TV work. but you are correct in that Voiceplay's absolute talent is incorporating and using guest artists. There isn't a single artist that has performed with them that didn't have the 'feel' of being a longtime or possible future member. I'm saying it badly, but my reaction everytime is "Yes! That person! More!"
Hahaha they do have a fantastic tallent for always leaving you wanting more at the end of their songs! I think I could listen to then for days and still be just as obsessed
My mans is down there inventing new notes 💀
(non-musician commenters try to guess where that fourth note he sang is located on a 4-string bass guitar / upright bass)
I mean, technically people have produced lower non-fry non-growl notes but holy sh!t are his subharmonics the cleanest and smoothest I have ever heard
Rek made a brief (non singing) appearance in their "Boy Bands in 5 Minutes " video. Love your reaction videos. You bring so much emotion and enthusiasm to your videos that they are real fun to watch. Also if you should make a comparison between Pentatonix, Home Free and Voiceplay don't be concerned people will roast you for it. All three groups, while vastly different, are incredibly talented and have extremely creative people in them and we fans respect that. I'm just glad they use those talents and put them out there for us to enjoy
Mostly gonna be roasted for not being able to say Pentatonix though I have now been taught so ill be fine moving forward haha but yes all incredible groups!
Here is a little known fact about Scott Porter... by now you may have been informed but just in case Scott can also bearbox (vocal percussion).
Elizabeth, from the Charismatic voice RUclips channel, reacted to this video with the Halo music creator and he commented with her on how he enjoyed that cover while watching it.
I love Voiceplay for their fun and humor, but when they take on something serious, I love them even more!
They have a direct line to my heart and my emotions and are abusing it in the best way!
This one was Layne's - both arrangement and video. (And of course, Layne did another no-lyrics performance for VP with Hall of the Mountain King -- and it's totally over the top).
I've heard really good things about that one! Can't wait to get to it!! But 1st we gotta hit boybands, matalica and a whole lotta disney hahaha
Arrangement and Video - Layne Stein, Audio Mix - Ed Boyer, Makeup - Rick Underwood, Production Manager - Kathy Castellucci and Filmed at Pattycake Productions Studio. Scott used to be part of VoicePlay.
All so crazy talented 😍
Scott Porter is a one time member of VoicePlay, early on, when I think he was the beatboxer, but left to pursue an acting career. VoicePlay choose their guests very carefully for both voice, character and of course availability, for each video. Most appear a number of times, and they're all good friends so are well used to working together. Either of Geoff or Layne - check the credits to be sure. They always give full credits, often with humorous comments. so always worth checking. Thank you for not comparing groups. I hate that. It's Pentatonix - break it up into Penta tonix and it's easy :) The name refers to five (pent) - you may have heard of a pentagram, five pointed star - and tones.
Thanks for all this awesome information :D can't wait to check out more VoicePlay and might even start doing some Pentatonix soon :)
You really should explore their cover of If I were a rich man/girl with Ashley Diane
Thank you for another priceless reaction to Voice Play. I felt the same way.. When they put up Rek's photo at the end with that haunting music, I completely lost it.
Glad you could watch the whole tribute. Voiceplay also did a full production Arcane themed cover of Imagine dragons Enemy with Alexa
Enemy is definitely on my list for a reaction soon :)
@@dj_410 If you’re interested, Peter Barber, who’s part of the bass gang, did a solo version of Enemy too. I love VoicePlay and hope you’ll be reacting to theirs, but the two are very different from each other, so perhaps you want to react to Peter’s too😊
Voiceplay's In The Hall of the Mountain King is another with no words. It's an orchestral piece they turned acapella.
The group you mentioned in the beginning is Pentatonix.
Even if don't play HALO I love this cover and in the end I have always tears in my eyes. Such an emotional tribute to a friend.
It was truly so beautiful! Can't wait to hear more of their stuff!
When you react to Tennessee Whiskey, there's a beautiful logo at the intro that was created by Rek. His channel on RUclips still exists and on it is a Behind The Stage video with takes from This Is Halloween, a hugely watched video by VP.
As others have said, look at the description of the video before reacting. Not only does it tell you who's responsible for what, but VP often puts in funny details there.
Scott Porter is best known in the States as an actor in shows such as "Friday Night Lights." He did some of the vocal percussion, hence the little "battle" between him and Layne.
Sorry. Almost forgot...
Voiceplay has minis videos as well. These are 1½ minutes or less. So if you react to any I suggest 3-4 at a time.
Geoff does narrations. Mostly Edgar Allen Poe and similar. But has done a few others as well. Every one of them is beautiful with his low smooth voice.
Yeah I have been trying to decide if I should react to VoicePlay shorts but I think I'll work my way through their main videos and then if I run out do some vids that are 4 or 5 shorts to a reaction:)
Scott worked with Geoff and Layne before as you will see at the end you should check out just sing which they did during lockdown for charity put the captions on it had just about everyone they have ever collaborated with ❤🏴
Great reaction
If you are interested The Charismatic Voice react to this song with Marty O Donnel the creator of this song. And mister O Donnel, he is very impress by the guys
Check the video it s a long video but very good
Very keen to check it out! Won't post it because I'd never wanna be the kinda reactor who steals someone else's possible views by reacting to a reactor but I am sure I will enjoy it in my one time :D
I'm so glad you watched to the end. It explains a lot. And - Come on now. Penta as in 5, tonix as in tonics, tones. Penta tonix. Not hard. Sugar Plum Fairy is one of my all time favourites too. But this, and the message in the end is just fantastic.
Voiceplay is such an amazing acapella group
Scott was one of the original members from high school. Then ran off to Hollywood and has had quite a career there. He was in Lucifer Season 6, Friday Night Lights. Since Halo is something that you love, check out one of my favorite reactors/analysts, The Charismatic Voice. You should have seen her dressed for Dragonborn Comes, but for the Halo theme she brought on Marty O'Donnell the composer that did the original Halo theme and the two of them had a great time discussing VoicePlay. Marty was thrilled with how VP did this. It was great fun. If you react to Boy Bands in 5 Minutes, the guys are singing and standing around a glowing trash can when Rek comes by with a sub sandwich that he hands to Earl (another original member who left the group a couple of years ago for personal reasons). Road Trip was from the Sing-Off days - make sure you get the one with 9 million views! Best video and sound. React to any VoicePlay, there are no duds. Warriors is terrific and follow it up with Dream On (Geoff calls it Warriors 2),
I cry every time. I knew Rek back in my teens/early 20s amd he was such an amazing person. Loved him dearly.
Wonderful reaction once again - Some of the things that drew me to watch reactions in the first place was the genuine and heartfelt emotions, how sometimes things are pointed out that I didn't even hear the first 50 times I listened and technical information about music or the songs that are covered. It feels like sharing a song with a friend hoping they'll like it and being overjoyed when they have the same mindblown expressions I had when I first listened!
About the Halo video:
Geoff reached a B0 subharmonic in this, it's *insane*! Some others have mentioned The Charismatic Voice's reaction as she did it with Marty O'Donnell, and I highly recommend it too! They talk some technical music theory terms at times, but he genuinely seems so excited and happy about the cover.
As for VoicePlay and you discovering them - You've learned their names and unique pronunciations a lot faster than a lot of reactors I've watched! A lot of people take a long time picking up on how Eli is pronounced, so you are ahead of the curve!
The message at the end is so sweet and heartfelt and gets me tearing up too. I know you've mentioned "Boybands in 5 minutes" coming up at some point and I wanted to say Rek makes a brief cameo in it. If you have access to the tier on patreon, you should definitely check out the Behind The Scenes videos after you've reacted to a song - It gives nice insight, but for this in particular it gives insight to how a very emotional and beautiful tribute was still a fun process for them with a lot of laughter and banter. I feel like they do everything with their heart and give it 100%, and it makes for some truly beautiful moments.
You asked for suggestions, so I will say that I am equally as excited for Boybands medley as I am for Nothing Else Matters - Boybands medley is pure fun and chaos, while NEM is raw power and emotion. Both are arranged by Geoff and that encapsulates his range (vocal and arrangement-wise) pretty well I'd say! Others that I would recommend are "Hoist the Colours", "Dream On", "Mermaid Medley" and "Good 4 U". Really, you can react to any one of them and I think the fans would be pleased regardless! For Geoff's videos I'd highly recommend "Ghost Riders" or "Ain't No Sunshine".
You can always check the description for who arranged the song and who produced the video and who did what in the behind the scenes! Usually it's split between Geoff and Layne for video and arrangements (sometimes Eli or Rob Dietz for arrangements), Eli does the lighting and they often employ Rick Underwood for detailed / intricate makeup. The description always goes in depth with what each person did. This one (Halo) was arranged by Layne and the "Red team vs blue team" moment is a nod to Scott and Layne being the two beatboxers 'battling it out'.
(Regarding the Big Acapella Band - PEN-ta-TON-ix ;) It comes from the pentatonic scale, so if you need a helpful pronunciation you can look that up!)
Like others have said, Scott used to be the original vocal percussionist and Layne used to be the baritone singer, but when Scott left Layne took over the vocal percussion role. They then brought in Tony as the baritone, who later started PattyCake Productions studio with Layne. VoicePlay (and Geoff) film a LOT of their music in PCP and get a lot of behind the scenes help from Tony still. If you're into disney music I highly recommend PCP's "Tough Love", "It's not over yet" or "All I ever wanted" - They're all original songs that are part of a series called "Villain's Lair" and Layne and Tony *nail* the Disney villain vibes!
PS - If you ever crave some VoicePlay knowledge, Huldra Draco makes some amazing informational videos about them! Or of course, ask away in the discord and we'll try to answer but I can't promise we won't give conflicting answers. And sorry for my long comments!
Actually, as an addition - Since you mentioned that your favorite acapella music before VoicePlay was Pentatonix' "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", you might enjoy VoicePlay's "Hall of the Mountain King" 😁
Your long comments are fantastic and I love it!
Im so glad you enjoyed my reaction! Next video should either be Geoff with ain't no sunshine or VP boybands (closely followed by the Metallica song 😀 )
I wish with all my heart that I hadn't already heard, become obsessed with and done my own private, overly dramatic performances of Tough Love by Villains Lair and that I could react to in for the 1st time but sadly I'm very familiar haha maybe I can do its not over yet it all I ever wanted tho... #watchthisspace #hopeidontforget
Loving being on the discord but will definitely check out Huldra
Although I do love learning my facts from all your lovely comments :D
@@dj_410 Well heck that makes me happy to hear you found Though Love! Pattycake doesn't get as much love from reactors (at least from what I've seen) and it's a dang shame in my opinion - Always happy there are more who see it! Now I'm wondering if you've seen "Tough Love pt. 2" - "It's not me, it's you"? ;)
Super looking forward for more!
@Trickpants :O there is a part 2?!?! No I haven't!!!
@@dj_410 S2E3! It's not officially named that and it's a new original song - But there are a few audio cues in there that'll tell you it's meant to be a "Tough Love, but for evil 'love interests' "!
The first time I watched it, I cried my eyes out. And to be honest, I cried when I saw it here with you again. I am such a cry baby....😢
Another great reaction that hits the feels. loving your growth & reactions.
Thank you so much! That's so lovely of you to say! Glad you are enjoying them :)
Voctave is a more classic choral style acapella group. Their Movie Medley is really good and has almost no lyrics. I'd love to see a collab with them and Voiceplay
Pentatonix. Pen-tah-TAWN-icks. Primary accent on the 3rd syllable, secondary accent on the 1st syllable. Based on the Greek "Penta", meaning 5 (same base as the Pentagon in Washington, DC, USA). Also a word-play on the pentatonic scale, a 5-note scale often used in jazz and pop music.
So glad you watched the outro! So many reactors seem to skip it, but it adds a real background and history touch to the entire video and the group itself. And makes all of the members even more human than just seeing them in the videos.
Awesome reaction DJ.
I see alot of people already commented about Rek. The last video he's seen in with Voiceplay is "Boy Bands In 5 Minutes". He hands a sub to former member Earl Elkins Jr. This video is awesome and fun. From Jackson 5 through the years to BTS.
On another note...
Geoff released his new video Friday on RUclips.. "Sound of Silence".
It is absolutely beautiful.
Voiceplay released their new video on patreon a week ago. We'll just say "Pinocchio".
Pattycake Productions released their new video on patreon Friday night. Different Cinderellas throughout the years.
Cant wait to react to boybands and have already posted my reaction to sound of silence...
I thought about pre-filming my reaction to voiceplays new song but was told in the Patreon discord that they sometimes make changes between the Patreon release and the RUclips release so ill wait till they post on RUclips and then film me reaction :)
@@dj_410
Yes. Like this last one is the second one cause nobody on Patreon cared for the first. Believe me. It's so much better. Same song. Different concept. Geoff's wife Kathy is in the new version. If you want to react from there like some other reactors do, then wait until they announce the RUclips premiere. That will be the final video. Same with Geoff.
@@ronsbrat525 Jacky, it's not the second one "because nobody on Patreon cared for the first one". They stated very clearly on the first video that it was an unfinished version that still had to have story elements added to it. They had never intended of releasing it in that form, but released it that way so that they could get something out to us before the Patreon deadline ran out.
@@huldradraco
Yeah. I just watched the bts and found that out.
Sorry DJ for giving you the wrong info. See? Huldra Draco comes to the rescue 😊.
Scott was actually part of the group towards the beginning. That is some of why they worked so well together. This song in particular is explained at the end of the video. I hope you have your tissues.
Rek was a legend. Voiceplay cover was epic. Great reaction very respectful. G'day from Australia.
Rek came into the group when Eli did. They sank together in a rock band. Back then Eli went by his real name Elijah Black.
Scott was their beatboxer way back before they were even Voice Play.
If you want to hear Eli really hitting it, watch Hoist the Colors.
You will know when it is an old video by the length of Geoff’s hair 🤣🤣 it was short once
Rip Rek. Thank you for amazing reaction video once again. They are soo talented with the vocals. Im looking forward to the next one. Keep it up hun and thank you again for these videos ❤
Always look forward to another sweet comment on all.my videos :D thank you as always and I'm glad you're enjoying them :D
You might check out some of VoicePlay's minis. They do a lot of theme songs with no or few words and they're incredible. I like the Horror movie one best. The creator of this theme did an awesome interview with The Charismatic Voice while they watched VP's version. Great interview. VoicePlay was orginally 4:2:Five and Scott was the original beat boxer. I suggest watching the Billie Ilish medley followed immediately by Panic! parts one and two. Together they tell a story. If you want to hear Geoff and Layne go off the rails see Friends On the Other Side--the last bit will blow your mind and your headphones if they're on too loud.
Scott was a founding member of voiceplay
each guest who works with the Voiceplay complements the composition perfectly. they work with some of them many times (Omar, Rachel Portter)
Cant wait to see more collaborations in the future!
This song included Geoff's first recorded B0. It's kind of weak and quickly overtaken with a higher note, but it's there. Now he just holds them like it's nothing lmao
I’ve seen a reaction where the composer of this was reacting to it, it was awesome because he loved it!
Thanks again for an awesome and nerdy / emotional reaction, your face expressions, body language and involuntary exclamations make this a treat to watch! I'm here for your pauses and honest/nerdy/gamer explanations. Your enjoyment and excitement is so evident, Thanks
Thank you so so much! This comment has made me smile so much! I'm glad you enjoy my reactions and hope to make loads more for you in the future :D
You're swiftly becoming one of my favourite Voiceplay reactors!
You might be interested to know that the composer of the original 'Halo' score also reacted to this (and loved it - his video is on RUclips somewhere.) And he was the one who did those original vocalisations - he said he just made some random noises off the top of his head, which is why he was so impressed with the accuracy of Cesar's vocalisations. Glad you listened to te end to get the backstory too - it's worth it. It shows their gamer backgrounds, Scott's connection to the group and a beautiful tribute to a fallen friend.
You've got so much more Voiceplay awesomeness to look forward to, and I'm here for it!
(Oh, and Pentatonix is pronounced 'Pen-ter-tonics,' if that helps. But I'm guessing you probably already know that by now. 😊)
ruclips.net/video/ivqFcmplyDc/видео.html ... Here the composer from the Halo soundtrack is making a reaction with Elizabeth ... I think you would like to know what he said about the Voiceplay Version 😉
Yess! This vid comes highly recommended so I can't wait to check it out! Thank you for the link!
Scott Porter is one of the original members back when VoicePlay was called 4 to 5 .
Rek Dunn's RUclips channel is still available for viewing. The last video uploaded was his own bts of VP's This Is Halloween video.
I saw a clip of the writer of the song and he was really impressed as well.
This is the most touching video they ever made, it's amazing! Every time I watch this, I end up emotionally exhausted, if it makes any sense.
All the collaborators they picked over the years fit really well with the group, like Rachel Potter, Omar Cardona, Deejay Young, John Pinto, Adriana Arellano, Emoni, Elizabeth Garozzo, Ashley Diane, just to name a few. Scott was originally the beatboxer (and Layne the baritone) but left in 2003 to pursue his acting career (Friday Night Lights, Hart of Dixie, Lucifer, Ginny & Georgia).
VoicePlay's versatility is fantastic, they can (and have) tackle any music genre successfully. Their dedication and attention to detail has no equal!
Welcome to the VoicePlay rabbit hole, and thanks for a great reaction!
I'm so glad you enjoyed my reaction, I can't wait to react to loads more cameos from more amazing singers and see some of the original members
Scott was in the show Lucifer for the last season. So wish they had another season so we could have seen more of him it was such a good show.
Its because said guest as you see was an OG voiceplayer.
Another great reaction! The tribute from VoicePlay was so touching. It makes what they created so much more special. I look forward to other reactions from you. You mentioned you will be reacting to Nothing Else Matters. Get prepared because it is amazing. Also, Geoff arranged the piece. It will give you an idea of just how incredible is his musically. As I mentioned in another comment, he is a phenomenon. Also, Layne arranges some of VoicePlay's music as well. I have never seen a group comprised of so much talent in so many ways. You should check out some of the PattyCake productions as well. They are so much fund. You have definitely gone down a whole new rabbit hole with the group and the trip will be worth it. As you mentioned, music has a way of bringing souls together.
I have listened extensively to Tough Love from villians lair and it's a big love of mine so will definitely have to check out more PattyCake!
Really love that you watched through the outro, it gives so much amazing context to what is already an amazing video. The Charismatic Voice had a great reaction to this one with a really special guest!
Speaking of no-lyric covers, I'm so excited for you to experience the absolute FEVER DREAM that is Hall of the Mountain King.
PTX=pentatonix. Their Sugar Plum Fairy win them a Grammy. Next, check out Voiceplay's "In the Hall of the Mtn King" for a very similar a cappella version of an orchestral classic.
oh man you definetly have to react to VoicePlay´s "Oogie Boogie". it will melt your brain into Oblivion.
Cant wait!! It's high on the list!
@@dj_410 When you do, a little tip, always check what Geoff is doing with his voice in the background while he's not singing. You will get a pleasant surprise
If you haven't yet, check out their rendition of Hall of the Mountain King for another non-lyric song of theirs. (Also, thank you for watching the outro. It means a lot to honor their fallen friend.)
FYI - VP will list who does what in the description on the video, this was one of Layne's arrangements, he and Geoff share the arranging - and whoever does the arrangement is usually also responsible for the video, costuming, etc. Eli does most (if not all) of the lighting and background effects, The other group you were tring to think of is Pentatonix - but you also need to check out VP's take on 'In The Hall Of The Mountain King', another piece with no lyrics - it will blow your mind!
Another (very good) reaction channel, The Charismatic Voice did a reaction to this - together with Marty O'Donnell, the composer of the original theme!
I´m at home, totally ill. So...maybe you can take some days off to record a lot of Voiceplay videos every day, so I can watch them? Cause I really enjoy them und now there´s more than enough time 😂😂
Just kidding ^^ Just love your videos.
Hahaha aww I'm so glad my videos make you feel at least a little better! Wish I had more up to keep you busy!!
Some day in dream land RUclips can become my full time job and I'll have endless content for all my amazing supporters 🥰
The Charismatic Voice reacted to this video together with the composer himself. Super cool to get some insights into it. And you know how you reacted to Cesar doing that tribal screaming thing? Yeah, the composer agrees with you.
I have never played Halo but that tribute also made me emotional when I watched it for the first time. It shows how caring all members (whether past or present) are. They are each other's second family, and I love that. So thank you so much for reacting Scott's outro, it really does give the cover a different meaning.
One suggestion I have for another group for you to react to is The Bass Gang, They are an acapella group made up of 4 basses and they are just amazing. They recently did a cover of Hooked on a Feeling featuring Tim Foust (who is the bass for home free), which is amazing. But I think that you would also love their cover of Yellow Flicker Beat which is also amazing.
Thanks for the fantastic reaction as always friend. You are literally so sweet and I am so glad that I found your reactions❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comment :D I will definitely look into Bass Gang!
@@dj_410 You’re welcome!😄
Another beautiful reaction ! Thank you for sharing your joy with us.
Thank you for your beautiful comment Culurien! :)
Scott Porter was the original beatboxer of the group in their younger years. When he left to pursue an acting career, Layne took over the beatboxing.
Go to their cover of the song "Just Sing'',....with the captions on, because it is a collection of VoicePlay members, past and present, people who they have collaborated with, and those, they want to collab with.....before Cesar joined the group....you get a much better idea of them, and their history, and their longevity......don't forget to strap in, on THIS Rollercoaster......>^^
Yay! Was so excited to see your reaction to this! Love it ☺️
So glad you enjoyed it! Hope the 72 hour stream is going great!
@@dj_410 Had a glitch this morning with a broken headset but it's still going. Now into Dead by Daylight if you want to stop and say hi 😂
Hey I enjoyed your reaction a lot! Great to have you on board of the community!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
Yes, I go from chills at the start of Scott’s explanation to tears at the comradeship of the whole group
It's so moving in so many different ways!!
Very touching reaction. Thank you. Your heart is so into this.
Ahh, loved your reaction to this one. Thanks for playing through to the end. See ya in the next one.
So glad you enjoyed it and I'm so glad I did! Truly so touching!
Great reaction for this one! It really does make it so emotional when you watch the outro! RIP Rek! ❤❤❤❤
Add to your list:
My Mother Told Me :)
And
Enemy (Imagine Dragons Cover)
Your happiness is infectious in this. You looked almost like a kid on Christmas morning at one point, and I love that. And thank you for pointing out Cesar's vocalizations, a lot of reactors don't react that same way to thst part and that's one of my favorite things in this. Also I'm glad you finally got to see some of what Layne can do with his beatboxing. He does some really cool stuff in enemy (imagine dragons cover from arcane league of legends) and also running up that hill from stranger things.
Also, don't forget, now that you're a patron you can watch their behind the scenes videos for each song release. They have some really cool shenanigans in them 😉😊💜
As for reaction suggestions that aren't vp or geoff, I think you'd love the bass gang. They are a bass a capella group, so that's amazing on its own. They also do collabs with a lot of cool people. My favorites from them are yellow flicker beat, centuries, mad world and hooked on a feeling. Definitely worth a look at 😁
Awesome! Thank you so much for the suggestions! Will definitely look into them!!! Glad you are enjoying the reactions! I really love making them!
Actually, VoicePlay’s bts aren’t available on the lower tiers, it’s 5 dollars and upwards. But Geoff’s are available from the lowest tier! 😊👍
I'm sure others have recommended this, but if you loved Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies by Pentatonix, then the next one you need to check out by VP is In the Hall of the Mountain King. Subbed today! Can't wait for more!
Yeah that's a great recommendation! It's along the same lines but as it's vp.. It's way more fun!
Great reaction. I know you are busy with your own reactions (yay!) , but since you love Halo, I think you would enjoy The Charismatic Voice's reaction to Halo, where she had the composer reacting with her as well.
Definitely want to check this out ! :)
I've watched reactors who are also gamers, frequently they talk about the connection with other players that Scott talks about here. I had no idea, the the old lady is getting an education!
This is one of my favorites because it shows the genuine, loving part of Voiceplay that sometimes can be missed because of their artistry.
Cesar's aboriginal (?) rifs are amazing. He was very new to the group when they did this one.
Scott was not only a founding member, but he was also their original beatboxer. Layne took over when Scott left for Hollywood.
Voiceplay will have a new one out in a few days.
Cant wait to react to their new song! Very excited for it!! :D
Great reaction, I was looking forward to it. I find it's more fun to watch a reaction to VP's Halo by Halo players! They just some to appreciate it more. You seem to connect to the comradery of the guy's playing video games after practice/shows. I think a lot of us did.
I know it's not the time or place but I need to defend glees acapella covers. The dalton academy warblers were arranged and background vocals done by the tufts bubs (a long standing collegiate group) Also it was my intro to acapella many years ago and teenage dream and somewhere only we know are legit af.
It’s beautiful! Thanks for reacting!😊
Pen-ta-ton-ix (hope that helps) . With Home Free & Voice Play they make up the Trifecta of Acapella. I'd recommend watching their song Just Sing and turn on your subtitles (it's worth it to see who everyone is). Also suggest getting to know The Bass Gang.
If you love the editing in this video, you should try the second Grammy award-winning song for pentatonix, Dance of the sugar plum fairy!
Since you like bass voices be sure to check out Bass Gang as well, a newer acapella group of all bass singers.
I agree on this one! Love the bass gang 😊
Been enjoying your Voiceplay and Geoff reactions very much. Glad you watched the end of this one, it's a really special tribute for sure. Everyone gave you the Pentatonix group name, but to help you out think of how you would pronounce Pentagram but with tonix (kind of like tonic, but with the x) as the end instead of gram. It's based off of a music scale, called the Pentatonic scale (basically a 5-note scale). Hopefully, that will help you with remembering their name. :) Looking forward to what else you react to from these guys, you really can't go wrong with anything from Geoff or Voiceplay! Really looking forward to your reaction to Nothing Else Matters!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! That's a really good way of remember 😀
Nothing Else Matters will be coming very soon! I'm so excited to hear it!
I was thrilled when I saw that you had uploaded this reaction. I knew it would blow you away. The enthusiasm and joy in your reactions is so wonderful and makes me relive my own excitement of watching these Voiceplay and Geoff performances for the first time. Thanks for what you do, and I look forward to many more of your reactions!!
Loved your reaction to this. Your enthusiasm is infectious. I am not sure if this has been suggested or not but another one you should check out it is Warriors by Imagine Dragons. You should probably watch that one before the Metallica cover. There is an element in that video that will make sense when you watch the Metallica video. Keep them coming! 😉
Ohh thanks for the tip! I'm so glad you enjoyed the reaction 😀
Or watch the Metallica cover first for more of a ‘surprise’ but watch Warriors for more of that particular goodness. Either way, at this point in time, these two songs are the only time this specific talent is shown.
Also, to add to your list, Geoff just dropped a haunting rendition of ‘Sound of Silence’ on his solo channel the other day. Hope you can get to it as well.
Scott used to be in Voiceplay btw lol
I remember doing a search back when this video came out to learn more about Rek-didn’t find much then, but I see now that Eli helped set up a GoFundMe for Rek’s end of life expenses-they raised more than the goal they set, so that’s good. There’s a little more of his story to be found now (I imagine people watch the video and search and eventually the algorithms caught up). It sounds like he was quite a man. RIP Rek Dunn.
Great reaction-looking forward to more like this!!
Hey man, I know what you mean, this track gives you the feels without knowing their reason for paying tribute.
By the way, it was The Charismatic Voice that reacted to this version but with Marty O'Donnell the composer of the Halo theme tune (ruclips.net/video/ivqFcmplyDc/видео.html) 😊
RIP Rek 💔
Geoff hits B0 in this. His lowest note to date!
Omg thats amazing! He's so talented!!
Pentatonix! Start with Pen (like what you write with) Ta (rhymes with "saw") Ton (rhymes with "dawn) Ics (like "Ick!! A cockroach!!" Just add an s). Their name comes from the pentatonic scale with five notes to an octave (rather than the regular eight notes to the octave).
Not sure if anyone mentioned but the blue team red team part is even more hilarious because Scott used to be Voiceplay's beatboxer and now Layne is so it's like the battle of the drum kits 😂
Also, It was the composer of this song that was special guest on another reactors reaction to this song and he mentioned how he loved this better than the original... Which he wrote 😂 that reactor is Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice, she's amazing.
