Kate Lott is the high soprano. She's not actually in her whistle register, she is a true coloratura soprano. Most of the group either have or are currently employed by Disney, so they know how to do Disney. The "Princess Medley" is a must.
Hi Schnell and Andy. Great reaction. Wanna hear each lady solo? Try The Disney Princess Medley. How about something truly unique? Try The Great Movie Medley. Voctave also has some of the best Christmas music.
The best part of this video is Jeremy glancing at Kate and grinning and shaking his head. There is a video on YT of rehearsals where Jeremy completely stops singing and they all start laughing. He is totally in awe from the sound Voctave(especially Kate) is making.
You're correct, this was very early in Kirstin's career. She and Jeremy were actually a couple at the time, but both have since moved on. And yes, this is an amazing performance.
Congratulations, Schell, you've just discovered the fourth of the four great a cappella groups (Pentatonix, Home Free, VoicePlay and Voctave) leading the current a cappella renaissance. Each is fantastic in their own right. That being said, if you want some more Voctave, you really need to listen to their Disney Princess Medley which features each of the female singers. And as the Holidays approach, you might want to give a listen to Voctave's renditions of O Come All Ye Faithful, Mary, Did You Know (featuring Mark Lowry, the original lyricist) and O Come O Come Emmanuel/The First Noel/I Wonder as I Wander. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. I look forward to many more reactions.
Hi Schnell if you want a real treat listen to Voctive do (Mary Did You Know) with the Original Song Writer and Singer Mark Lowery. Nobody can touch it!
Not your ordinary Barbershop quartet! Wow! You can tell they've worked together quite a while to get those harmonies so tight. The way they start off lower, quieter, then their voices swell to fill the room was just cool 😎! Thanks for the video!
Welcome to the land of first soprano "Kate". Listen to voctave singing a Disney Princess medley. It's even better. Kirsten and Jeromy were engaged to be married at the time of this song.
Like everyone else here, I also highly recommend Voctave's "Disney Princess Medley", especially since it showcases solos from all 5 women. "Disney Heroes & Villains" features solos from all 6 men. Their best medley to date is arguably their "Prince of Egypt Medley". Definitely check out all their Christmas works too, especially "O Come All Ye Faithful", "Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame", "Mary, Did You Know?", "Where Are You Christmas?" and "Go Tell It On The Mountain".
Loved the reaction! Kirsten and Jeremy were in a relationship when this was done. Please react to Voctave's OH Come All Ye Faithful and OH Holy Night. The lead singers vocals are amazing
Well welcome to the world of VOCTAVE! It’s amazing how many people click on this vid to see Kirsten but are blown away by Voctave. The reason is simple, when it comes to a cappella, they are the best, hands down, and I’ve always said it! Why? Because this group is all professional singers who started this as a side gig. Jamey Ray, the arranger, is a music professor at Rollins College, on the north side of Orlando. He arranges each vocal part for each singer, knowing each ones range. Although, I don’t know if Kate has found the top of her range yet. In “Mary Did You Know” she hits a G6 effortlessly. Everyone is correct though, you cannot find a bad song or ever a missed note. They actually sound even better in person, IMHO, which is saying a lot because no group sounds as good in person as their recordings, but they do. New follower here and looking forward to hearing you react to more Voctave. Strap in and hold on, it will be the ride of your life.
Glad you reacted to this! Went to school with Tony DeRosa who was in the background. Super talented and has a great career from his barbershop quartet to his work with Disney and Voctave.
The man in the dark red shirt second from the right is the fabulous Jamey Ray who arranges all of Voctave's work. Many of Voctave's members are present or past members of the Voices of Liberty who sing at the American Pavillion in EPCOT at WDW. I heard Kate Lott, that first soprano, last summer at EPCOT and she is as kind and gracious as she is talented. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Voctave!
Jamey Ray does all the arrangements for Voctave including this one. Pick a Voctave song. They're all beautiful. Disney Princess Melodies, Prince of Egypt, Someone Like You are a good ones to react to. ua-cam.com/video/rjZpz0EvnV8/v-deo.html video has Kirstin and Jeremy reacting to Kate during rehearsal. thought you might enjoy. Jim Hester
I’m sure many people will fill you in on Voctave. They are more of an accapella choir, as opposed to the traditional group. No matter which songs you choose to react to, the wall of sound will please your ears.
Love your reaction and the looks on your sweet face!! This is the most glorious, POSITIVE, rabbit hole you will go down. Kate isn't just hitting a whistle note..she is a true coloratura soprano. All of them have and or are singers with the Voices of Liberty at Epcot in Disney World. They truly love each other and have great fun performing together. They put out so many types of music..jazz, broadway ,latin, Christmas,patriotic..etc. The Lion King's Stampede is a very short, but jaw dropping song and their virtual choir version of dear Evans Hansen's You will Be Found, has an assist from people from over 55 countries joining in. They take pride in never using auto-tune whenever the sing.Disney Princess Medley, The Great Movie Medley ( all John Williams compositions) and Oh Come All Ye Faithful are just a few to start with.
I Am An Enormous VOCTAVE FAN!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE VOCTAVE!!!!! My Very, Very, Very, Very, Very Favorite VOCTAVE Video Is Them Doing Their "GREAT MOVIE MEDLEY!!!!!" It's THE BEST & GREATEST!!!!! You Have To React To That One!!!!! I Also Love, Love, Love, Love Them Doing Their "DISNEY SHOWSTOPPERS MEDLEY" And Their "DISNEY PRINCESS MEDLEY"!!!!! All Of Them Are Absolutely Amazing, Incredible, Fantastic, Fabulous, Awesome, Wonderful, Great, Phenomenal, Unbelievable, Superb, Spectacular, Excellent, Extraordinary And Above And Beyond MAGICAL!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM ALL!!!!! I AM A HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE VOCTAVE FAN!!!!!
Welcome to Voctave Schnell! This group is amazing and with Christmas coming they have many great Xmas songs to choose from, but "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Mary Did You Know" ft Mark Lowry will blow you away! Love from Arizona!
HI Schnell. I am so glad that you were able to do this video. This one sort of had your name on it. It is so creatively done, it is hard to describe it. That ending is something else. It is insane . Wow I read thru some of the comments and Jeremy Michael was an ex boyfriend of Kristen's. I think he is gone and has been for several years. One newer song by Pentatonix features Kristen really going off of a riff. It is on "Seasons of Love" , which is from the musical "Rent". Se really do an great improv rife in that. You should check it out. Thanks Schnell. We love you. With love from Florida
Kirstin is amazing in the Pentatonix newest song ..... The Prayer ..... it should win an award its that amazing .... I think its one of their best ever
Did you catch the beatboxer? No? They don't have one and you didn't even miss it, did you? LOL. So glad you reacted to them. It's a different flavor of more awesome acapella. Try "Great Movie Medley" or any of their Disney stuff. Also, they have some wooooonnnderful Christmas stuff, like "Mary, Did You Know?" with the writer Mark Lowry, or "O Come, All Ye Faithful." 'Tis the season. Live it up!
Yeah like everyone else is saying, Disney Princess Medley needs to be your next one. Pretty much every female reactor (and to be fair, lots of male ones too) ends up melting into a giggley pool of joy on that one.
Like in that last musical phrase, many of Kate's notes are only heard as an echo. She started the last few notes in her lower range but jumped up to a high note you could almost hear then to a higher note still that you only hear the echo to when the voices stop. What Kate hasn't shown me yet is a single whistle tone. Those notes she sings, she sings.
Kate Lott is the Soprano. That is not even the highest not for her or a whistle note. She is insane and amazing. Check out the Showstoppers Medley, the Disney Princess Medley and the Great Movie Medley. All are a must!
Voctave is incredible and they take acapella to a whole different level. As we get into the Christmas season you should check out some of their Christmas music, which is awesome. Their latest Christmas song "Where Are You Christmas" features Ashley Espinoza (one of Voctave's spectacular ladies) and her young son Gael. It is 100% guaranteed to melt your heart. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/fl9L52HFjeo/v-deo.html
Schnell, this recording was made when Voctave was just beginning with 8 members rather than the 11 they currently have. There have been a couple of criticisms of the audio engineers especially on the last song that they should have mixed Kate's high notes better. Those high notes drew too much attention away from the soloists. On the positive side, the arrangement was stunning. The dissonant chord being resolved at the end was a masterful touch. Jim Coburn P.S. Probably a distant cousin of Tiffany's husband, Thomas "Chip" Coburn.
1st time seeing you, and Voctave does Disney songs the best. Separately; Have you not discovered the best young singer of our time, Lucy Thomas? Try first : Broken Dreams, an original musical theatre song
This dates back to when Kirstin and Jeremy were engaged. Thankfully she broke it off a month before the wedding because she and her partner Ben are expecting a baby girl very soon!
Hi, I have one more acapela group to suggest, Citizen Queen. They happen to be an all female acapela group. I'm hoping you would listen and react to their cover of Killing Me Softly.
This is why I never recommend this video for a first time listening to Voctave...Great Movie Medley and then Disney Princess Medley....getting close to Christmas....do any of their Christmas videos (Mary did you know, Ol come all ye faithful, plus any others) plus kirstin and jeremy aren't even together anymore so bleh
Kate Lott is the high soprano. She's not actually in her whistle register, she is a true coloratura soprano. Most of the group either have or are currently employed by Disney, so they know how to do Disney. The "Princess Medley" is a must.

Hard to imagine you never reacted to this one. I’m seeing Voctave in a few weeks and then PTX on my birthday 🎉 🎂.

The Prince of Egypt recording is INCREDIBLE! Great reaction! Thank you.
Absolutely awesome. Loved every second of this performance. Great choice and reaction Schnell.
you really need to do Voctave - Disney Princess Medley
This arrangement to so, so top notch! I still get goosebumps even after watching this probably 50 times!

(pretty please??)
Welcome to the Voctave family. Enjoy exploring their repertoire.
I’m sure many people will fill you in on Voctave. They are more of an accapella choir, as opposed to the traditional group. No matter which songs you choose to react to, the wall of sound will please your ears.
Great reaction to great group. You would love Voctave Disney Princess medley (that show cases the Voctave group members).

Kirstie, has really grown as a singer since those days. She should be a Disney Princess !
Schnell, I can't believe that after all this time you haven't done their Disney Princess Medley. It is amazing and I'm sure it'll blow your mind!
Good reaction. Thanks. Btw. PTX
New video “the prayer” is one of their most amazing ever. Please react to it
It blew me away
I can't wait for you to react to The Great Movie Medley!
Voctave does "Mary did You know" featuring Mark Lowery who co-wrote the song. You will be amazed. A Christmas fav
Great reaction!
Kirstin is amazing in the Pentatonix newest song ..... The Prayer ..... it should win an award its that amazing .... I think its one of their best ever
Did you catch the beatboxer?
No? They don't have one and you didn't even miss it, did you? LOL. So glad you reacted to them. It's a different flavor of more awesome acapella.
Try "Great Movie Medley" or any of their Disney stuff.

Welcome to the world of Voctave.... you should check "you will be found" by them.
Yeah like everyone else is saying, Disney Princess Medley needs to be your next one. Pretty much every female reactor (and to be fair, lots of male ones too) ends up melting into a giggley pool of joy on that one.
The funny part is when Jeremy and Kirsten just look over at Voctave and smile and shake their heads in disbelief.
they were engaged and in love when they did this song
Princess Medley should be next.
Disney Princess Medley - just sayin’ 😊

At the time, Jeremy was Kirstin's fiancé.
