    Just to throw it out there, being a trained vocalist myself, and having seen them live, their sound is actually even better in person. Blew me away!

      Is that…possible?? I would love to see them live!! I have seen most of their videos on RUclips many times, and it blows me away every time. Its so beautiful.

    The real genius behind Voctave is the founder and sole arranger, Jamey Ray (the second gentleman from the far left, singing tenor). He creates ALL of their arrangements (up to 11 parts) and he writes each part specifically for THAT actual singer. He knows what each singer is capable of doing and he makes the very most of their individual talents. Simply brilliant!!

      I've seen a couple of reaction videos where the host exclaims "why did you not tell me before?!", or words to that effect. Let us not lament the opportunity costs of being late to the party; it's still a good party!

    10:00 I think a term that fits that would be "bell tones". A term used in brass, church, choral, basically meaning to mimic the sound of a bell. A nice attack with a quick decay, so that you can later them and hear every attack cleanly, and at the end you have a soft harmony.

    • @dantedisalvo3181
      @dantedisalvo3181 Год назад

      Agreed. I’ve always heard those described as bell tones.

    I realize you are just becoming acquainted with Voctave but I can’t wait to see how many times in future reactions when you say, “I was wrong about that!”
    Tiffany Coburn, the second soloist, has a very powerful and beautiful voice and “no” her voice would not be drowned out in the group. I got a good laugh out of your comment though.

    • @EmmaChihuahua81
      @EmmaChihuahua81 2 года назад +4

      She shines in O Holy Night, but my favorite solo of Tiffany's is Impossible Dream.

    @andrewjackson8421 2 года назад +6

    First of all, I’ve seen a lot of reactions to this song and other songs of theirs. Yours was one of the most educated reactions I’ve seen. You pointed out a few things I never noticed before and I’ve seen this video at least 100 times. So thank you for the great teaching reaction video. I’m subscribed to you now to hear other insights you might have about their other songs as well as other groups & singers.
    Second, I’ve been a Voctave fan for years now. They grew out of the Voices of Liberty, an a capella group that sings without mics, under the rotunda in the preshow area of the American Pavilion. That group has been singing at EPCOT since it opened. So for most, if not all of the Voctave members, that is their day job. Jamie pulled certain members out of that group to do some songs that he arranged and out of that grew Voctave. A few of the Voctave members have changed but most of the core group have been there from the beginning, and these are the actual video recordings of their recording sessions. Jamie is prolific in his arranging and they have recorded several albums worth of incredible songs, all a capella! They are truly the best a capella group out there but, of course, Disney would never hire amateurs or anything but the best! Many of them have music degrees, as well as solo careers singing gospel or other genres of music.
    If you really want to go down the rabbit hole even farther, search for Voices of Liberty at Epcot. There are literally hundreds of home videos over the past 40 years of people recording them amazed at their sound, and the colonial period costumes they all wear is awesome. The only souvenir I purchased my first time to Epcot was a cassette tape of the Voices of Liberty in 1982. That group has the same sound, although they sing primarily early American folk songs and patriotic numbers. Members of that group have all changed out over the years but they still sound incredible!
    Enjoy exploring other songs they’ve done in their extensive repertoire. You will not be disappointed with a single one. Every song is perfection.

    There are some videos of live performances. A Christian broadcast had them as guests to sing some of their Christmas songs.

    I have never made it through a Voctave video/track without getting goosebumps at some point, and that says it all for me.
    I don’t even remember when I stumbled upon them on RUclips but it was years ago now and without fail their harmonies always give me the proper warm and full fuzzies feeling inside.
    Glad to see you back in action Sam and (hopefully) feeling a good deal better! ☺️

  • @jimwilson7528
    @jimwilson7528 2 года назад +8

    A Rabbit hole you will not be able to climb out of!! :) They take pride in not using auto-tune and everyone who has seen them live say the sound exactly like their recordings/videos! "The Great Music Medley " of all John Williams movie themes is awesome and their Oh Come All Ye Faithful has an ending that will make you go "HOLY ____fill in the blank" You will love them.Also everyone is or has been in Disney's Voices of Liberty at Epcot Disney World( no microphones) and know each others voices and sounds, unbelievably well.

    "Let's call it the bong" *instant regret*, lmao. Loved the reaction, you should check more of Voctave's stuff, I'm 100% sure you'll dig most of it. And if you dig the Disney vibes you should check some of Voiceplay's stuff as well, they did a Moana Medley, Little Mermaid Medley, and even a cover of Hercules' "Go The Distance" with one of Voctave's tenors: EJ Cardona. Keep up the great job man!

    Thank you for that excellent reaction... both entertaining and informative. They're pretty good, huh!?! Now that you've gotten a demonstration of their phenomenal female vocalists, you might want to give a listen to several of the men in "Disney Showstoppers". And if you like Hercules, check out their "Disney Love Medley" which features Kirstin Maldonado from Pentatonix. Literally, Voctave is a vocal orchestra which pretty much covers the entire vocal spectrum with Jamey Ray arrangements that employ intricate 7, 8, 9-part harmonies. Everything they do is special, but some of the best (in no particular order) are "Mary, Did You Know" featuring Mark Lowry who wrote the lyrics, "O Come All Ye Faithful" featuring their incredible tenor, C. J. Cardona, "This is My Wish/Let There be Peace on Earth", and "Impossible Dream"... and that barely scratches the surface.
    And while on the topic of a cappella, please feel free to react to any of the other three incredible groups, Pentatonix, Home Free and VoicePlay.
    I look forward to many more of your reactions.

  • @elsathrenn
    @elsathrenn 2 года назад +2

    So... Yes the Song is pre-recorded, Voctave have mentioned it themselves multiple times. But it is purely for mixing purposes so they can get harmonies layered from different directions and all that mixing-magic. However, They all can replicate it veryyy easily and since they also sing for Voices of Liberty, you can see it being sung live the same way, with all the dynamics, ranges and stylistic choices and the whole sound.
    Secondly, They do not mutli-track. Each person has their own line. Sometimes, they sing in unision but in the maxed out climaxes they tend to have their signature 4-5 octave 10 to 11-part harmony. Yea man they are bonkers.
    Thirdly, I don't think there is a universal term but the "bong" sound can be called arpeggios, where the notes of a chord are just played one after the other and when added with some consonantal sound u get almost pit-stacatto feeling.
    Fourthly, Tiffany (2nd Soloist) might sound super aspirate and someone who might get drowned out by 10 other singers. But she is the loudest in the bunch, especially when she sings high.

  • @UthacalthingTymbrimi
    @UthacalthingTymbrimi 2 года назад

    It is definitely pre-recorded. The layered female harmonies at the very end are individually panned, which is impossible if they're being recorded through a single microphone, as is shown in the video. However, this doesn't detract in the slightest from what are simply soul-piercing, tear-inducing harmonies of perfection. Also, as many others have stated, they are just as good live - the true mark of great performers.

    • @arianeponicelli9115
      @arianeponicelli9115 10 месяцев назад +1

      i doubt it's pre recorded, the last singer gets noticeably louder the minute she leans closer to the mic. also the first soprano is too loud at moments and it wouldn't been mixed better. it's not pre recorded, they don't film their pre recorded things like this either.

    @JaredTVW 2 года назад

    I have watched this song a couple times and some of the moments jump out as possibly retouched to sound perfect or lifted or lowered just to better blend. And I’m not familiar with them but I have sung in groups like this so I know how incredibly difficult that can be. Not impossible of course, it’s just a challenge.

  • @thomasberwick3082

    • @UthacalthingTymbrimi
      @UthacalthingTymbrimi 2 года назад

      Sorry, but yes, it is pre-recorded. It's simply not possible to stereo-pan three individual layered vocals when they're all being recorded through one microphone, but this is exactly what happens at the end with the female harmonies. It's not like they all went in the studio and recorded their parts separately or anything, the vocal cues are too perfect for that. It just means that they each had their own microphones for the actual recording session (which this video does not depict). Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is a bad thing. The exact opposite, in fact - it means that their recording engineer knew what they were doing.
