    Oh my gosh, all these comments and nobody's recommended their cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters yet? Tragic. It's a masterpiece. Please check it out, you won't be disappointed.

      “Problem” is that they have so so many great covers

  • @janetdw
    @janetdw 5 місяців тому +19

    The beatboxer, Layne Stein, is an original member and was originally their baritone. When their beatboxer left, he decided he wanted to give it a try. As far as I know he is completely self taught and comes up with noises that aren’t a traditional drum kit. People often say he has swallowed a drum kit, but I believe he swallowed a drum kit an alien spaceship and possibly some of the aliens.
    Sleeping in the Cold Below is a good example of some of his more electronic sounds as well as the recent release of Black Hole Sun. He also provides their driving beat in their cover of Valhalla Calling. In that he has also done all of the sound effects including the creaking door. But one of my favorites is their completely insane version of In the Hall of the Mountain King. It’s a classical orchestral piece and Layne turned it into slapstick comedy. And it is extremely extremely theatrical. I do believe you would love it.
    They love to tell stories. They have a strong background in the theme parks, being based in Orlando where Disney and Universal Studios are big employers. Not all of their covers are as theatrical but some of my favorites are more theatrical pieces. They love to dress up and even when they’re not thoroughly in costume they often allude to the theme of the song in the clothing choices.
    I hope you pursue this path and have subscribed in anticipation of more VoicePlay reactions.
    By the way, Santa is played by the bass singers brother-in-law and the voiceover is done by Eli who is the little minion in red.

    Welcome to VoicePlay! These guys do such great work and they do it as a 100% independent group, so what you saw here? Arranged and directed by their beatboxer (Layne Stein), filmed at his video production studio, lighting design by the bald tenor (Eli Jacobson- his name rhymes with 'jelly'), edited by the beatboxer and funded by Patreon, streaming revenues and live performances. The ridiculous bass (Geoff Castellucci) also provides arrangements, direction and video work. Eli has more recently begun contributing more on the arrangement/video side as well; those three members constitute the core of the group, and if you go through their catalog other members will change, but those three remain constant.
    One of the things I've noticed is that Layne tends to not get as much video spotlight as the others. Whether that's by accident or design is hard to say, but if you want to get to really see him in action (and hear some great sounds out of him too!) then the song I'd reccomend is VoicePlay's cover of In the Hall of the Mountain King. It is another one of Layne's arrangements, as well as being one of their more theatrical videos much like this one. But Layne is right in the front, and his beatboxing is really highlighted in that piece. And the arrangement itself is absolute mad genius- a must listen! Another good one is We Don't Talk About Bruno, from the Disney movie, Encanto. Layne has a couple very nice moments in that, including a ahort but impressive bit of ingressive technique at the end.

  • @tessasilberbauer6219
    @tessasilberbauer6219 5 місяців тому +19

    As a nonbeatboxer, what I can appreciate about Layne is his precision in terms of the arrangements. He drops intricate runs where is would make the most musical impact, and where other stuff needs to shine in the music or storytelling, he draws back and simplifies so it's purely support that he provides❤ Also, some effects he produces is marvellously comedic.
    As to the group, their more fun stuff is In The Hall Of The Mountain King, We Don't Talk About Bruno, all their halloween stuff, and ACA Top Ten arrangements. You might enjoy the arranging of Hoist The Colours, Nothing Else Matters, Dream On, and parts 1 & 2 of Panic! at the Disco in 5 Minutes.

      Any of their Disney song covers are fun to as are the Viking songs "Valhalla Calling" and "My Mother Told Me" Then there is The Dragon Born Comes where Geoff impersonates that horn in the Ricola Commercials, and as a Beat Boxer I think you would also apricate Lien doing the drum fill from "In The Air Tonight"

Because they have been together so long and because they use to tour they are very professional. Geoff has his own channel. They do all genres of music from Disney to Metallica to classical to gaming …Skyrim’s Dragonborn, and Halo I think you would enjoy a trip down the rabbit hole😂❤ bye the way this is from the Nightmare before Christmas. The beatboxer, Layne is on the far right with the white spot on his nose.

    Yep, I love musical theater and fell in love with these guys after watching just a couple of videos. When I do run across reactors who are like, "Well, you know, I'm not saying that they aren't good singers, but I can't stand all these theatrics," I can concede that they may be 100% honest, but that just means I probably am not going to watch any more of their reactions to VoicePlay, because we obviously have just too divergent tastes. I have to resist the temptation to respond, "I suppose you also hate watching plays that bring in all those 'superfluous' things like set design, sound effects, scenery and costuming and blocking, because all you need to do is have the actors stand onstage and read the lines from a script in order to perform the play."

    The big, bearded dude left in early 2020 for undisclosed personal reasons after 23 years with them. The black singer left in 2021 to sing with the US Navy but has been back several times as a featured artist. He has been replaced, the first has not. One man short they work with a group of talented friends as featured artists. Don't get confused when you don't recognize the performers, we are a forgiving lot.
    For more outstanding beatboxing, try their version of Valhalla Calling. Or In the Hall of the Mountain King.

The reason it was so hard for Layne and Geoff when Earl left is because Earl had been singing with them since high school, if not middle school. The trio even lived together for a year as young adults. Which makes VP's Still Alive video even funnier. The cake is a lie!

    Welcome to VoicePlay! Geoff (their bass) is not entirely human, pretty sure he's some kind of 5 octave alien wizard. He's so fun to watch/listen to. Lane is the beatboxer, but the guys do you multi tracking on their productions and Geoff has this percussive nature to his low notes so it's adds alot of depth. For beatboxing, maybe try the Halo theme, or Seven Nation Army. Totally different vibes.

    VoicePlay are just the best IMO.
    Their unofficial nickname is The Theatre Kids Of Acapella.
    Geoff Castellucci is the Bass and he is one of the best. He has a five octave range and has his own solo channel
    The beatbox is Layne Stein. He sings too he has his own studio and does productions with a former VoicePlay member.
    The bald tenor is Eli Jacobson. He is an excellent voice actor and did the voice of Santa here.
    These are the three remaining members of the group.
    The high tenor with the beard and the baritone in the leather jacket have left to pursue their own things.
    If you can react to Valhalla Calling the guy in the leather jacket came back to sing with his friends. His name is J None.

    I really enjoyed watching this reaction. It was not only fun to watch but very informative. Voiceplay does a wide variety of covers. They've done a lot of different genres, from Metallica, to SoundGarden and much more. Disney stuff, lots of small snippets they call minis. Oogie Boogie is the song that I first watched when finding them so I often stroll through UA-cam to find new reactors. I'm so happy you reacted to this one.
    As my suggestion I'd say you'd get a kick out of the beatboxing in "This is Halloween" but in reality you'll probably enjoy just about anything Voiceplay creates because it's all so creative. I hope to see more reactions. I love seeing reactions from a beatboxer's point of view. It's definitely new to me since I'm more of a pianist/singer. I hope to be able to pick up some knowledge about beatboxing while I'm here.

At Christmas they did a cover of the Mean Girls song Jingle Bell Rock and it's hilarious. Every video is so much more than just singing. They work incredibly hard. And Geoff, the bass, has his own channel of low bass covers which are not a capella but Geoff creates his own musical backing for those.

    Welcome to VP - their Disney covers have the most of the strange voices - but whether they do that or not, the variety in the way they present their voices is extraordinary. Layne Stein is the beatbox. Listen to Dream On - Layne does a really strange & interesting sound in that one I've never heard before...You might also listen to their medley, Queen In 5 Minutes - they use Queen songs to tell their own story, and it's insane. Layne has a sweet baritone, but usually when he sings it's in a character voice. He's a wonderful comic actor with superb timing, so it works out well. Everything they do is top notch...

    Pentatoinix are the cool kids, Home Free are the music kids and VoicePlay are the theater kids....They all have their pros and cons and styles...as you stated, VoicePlay is very theatrical. Geoff, who is their bass singer and often credited Tim Foust from Home Free for helping with his low range. I like most of the music by all three groups. My only issue with VP, and they are much better about it in current projects, is they tend to drop the bass bomb sometimes just because they can, not to benefit the music...but like I said that was from earlier projects, recently they have been much more balanced.

    If you'd like to hear more of their character voices, definitely recommend any of their other Nightmare songs. They typically do that in those (especially This is Halloween). Personally, I'd recommend one of my favorites, Hoist the Colours. If you game, they have some fun covers. They have a little bit of something for everyone, actually. Also, they have had some changes over the years so don't be surprised if you see different people in different songs.

    Welcome to Voiceplay! You're in for a wild ride with them 😅Their catalog is huge with all different genre of music. Usually they're very theatrical but always wonderful. Have fun! Hoist The Colours is a masterpiece to start with

    Okay, our left-to-right of their most common positioning.
    J. None, Baritone. Currently doing a stint with the U.S. Navy. It seems whenever he gets leave, he is back making songs and videos with the guys, so consider him on hiatus most of the time. Lots of guests fill this spot when he is away.
    Earl Elkins Jr., High Tenor. Left the group a few years ago and was replaced by Cesar De La Rosa.
    Eli (pronounced Elly), Lyric Tenor/Baritone. Very versatile voice. Usually running the lighting.
    Geoff (pronounced Jeff), Baritone/Bass/Counter Tenor/Soprano?: Obviously the lead here.
    Layne: Beat Boxer/Baritone/Tenor: Co-owner of the studio they usually shoot their videos in. Arranged this song.

    They do layer things to get the sound they want - their beatboxer also sings in a lot of their songs, so he will record the beat and they layer it with his singing and stuff like that. They also do some post production, but they don't use pitch correction or change the range - only stuff like adding reverb to add to the sound.
    Geoff, the bass, has a range from C♯1 to A5 without going into his his falsetto.
    You might like their Valhalla Calling, but personally, I'm fond of things like their medlies such as Moana or Little Mermaid - but they have a wide range of songs.

    Loved your enthusiastic reaction and your breakdown and analysis at the end- thanks! I am a new subscriber looking forward to more of your reactions to Voice Play. Yes, Voice Play are often referred to as the theater kids of acapella music and I think you will really appreciate their unique style and approach to acapella music. Voice Play and Home Free are close friends very supportive of each other ( Voice Play's beatboxer, Layne Stein, helped with the arrangement of Home Frees "Butt Remix" that you recently reacted to). They are completely independent doing all of their own production without a record contract or label so they have complete control of their artistic expression. I think you would really enjoy their covers of "Valhalla Calling", "Seven Nation Army" (for complex beatboxing) and "Warriors" for an unexpected surprise that beatboxer, Layne, can do while he beatboxes.

    VoicePlay, first arrange the songs, then record them. After that, they use a Boom-Box, while play-acting. Layne Stein is the beatboxer, but Geoff Castellucci (Bass) sometimes helps out,

    To really hear Layne (dressed as Zero in this, the nose-glowing dog of Jack Skellington), their beatboxer at work, I recommend "Sleeping In The Cold Below" or "Wayward Son." The latter I have to constantly reminds myself does NOT have actual drums, it's all Layne. Oh, don't be surprised if you see different faces, Voiceplay has gone from a five man group to a four man group with guests for almost every song. J. None (skeleton shirt in this) is a member on reverse leave, as he's singing with the Naval Choir, but comes back frequently to sing with the group. And we now have Cesar, as their High Tenor Earl ("You haven't got a prayer!") left several years ago. You're going to have fun with this group! If you'd like, I can post some "rules" (suggestions, really, "More of a guideline than a rule" And if you get that quote you'll be the first!) that I put together, very helpful for listening to Voiceplay. I've only ever had one reactor complain about them, thought I was trying to tell him how to run his channel (I wasn't, and I'm not like that), so now I wait for explicit permission, like a hearted comment or actual words saying "Go for it!" 💙

  • @rdy3357

    Hoist the Colours, Valhalla Calling, Dragonborn Comes (Skyrim) are another few suggestions, and Drunken Sailor. Have fun with them.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of VoicePlay. They are absolutely amazing. Geoff Castellucci (the bass) has his own channel. I have subscribed to see more VoicePlay & Geoff Castellucci reactions. They are known as the theater kids of acapella.
    For VoicePlay, I would recommend: Nothing Else Matters; Black Hole Sun; Seven Nation Army; Hoist the Colors; Drunken Sailor; The Dragonborn Comes; Creep; In the Air Tonight; Hellfire; and The Lion Sleeps Tonight (is them just having fun).
    For Geoff Castellucci, I would recommend: Don't Mess Around with Jim; 16 Tons; Over the Misty Mountains Cold; I See Fire; Ain't No Sunshine; Ghost Riders in the Sky; Unshaken.
    The suggestions are just a few of their songs. Enjoy the VoicePlay & Geoff Castellucci rabbit hole.

    You might want to contrast this production with an earlier view of them doing the song live on stage, I was impressed by how similar the two productions were. This one is better because of the use of layers and the scenery control, IMO. But their are excellent in both.

  • @aussiebloke609
    @aussiebloke609 5 місяців тому

    For some more amazing bass, great beat-boxing, and awesome harmonies, I would strongly recommend "Valhalla Calling", "Hoist The Colors", "Drunken Sailor", and their cover of Aerosmith's "Dream On."
    Not that the rest of their repertoire isn't also great, but these - to me, anyway - really show off those facets best.

  • @Gael4ce

    This is super low key and subtle for Layne. Try Hall of The Mountain King or Drunken Sailor. Both have him much more forward and you’ll hear him cutting loose more.

    I'm subscribing to enjoy watching you watch Voiceplay! "Valhalla Calling" is my favorite! My record is "Hoist The Colors," though which I sleep to, and last year I listened to it over 43,500 times. Yes, really. And that number has gone up considerably, as I still listen to it every night as I sleep! "Valhalla Calling" has too much of a beat to sleep to. 💙

    @Wildecat10 5 місяців тому

    This one is a highly recommended intro to Voiceplay. But I’m not sure it’s the best. Although they sometimes use character voices, it’s usually not this much. This one is the rare exception; usually they don’t have one lead - they all get turns. And this isn’t the lowest (or highest) that Geoff can sing now.
    I’m subscribing to watch your Voiceplay journey.

    If you want crazy range watch Valhalla calling by them. Geoff has a five or more octave range and maybe has at least a three octave low range himself
