That guy was fangirling LOL
Kirstie really love the word "like" lol!
Lol she might have been a little nervous or just couldn't think of the words.
Okay so no one's mentioning how crispy Avi's voice is. It's just so pleasant to ears. I could listen to his voice all day and not get tired of it.
totally agree
Good interviewer for once. He seemed really charming and a genuine fan, unlike than a lot of the 'plastic' interviewers PTX often get lumbered with...
And he didn't leave dead air. Once an answer was clearly winding down, he had a next question ready to jump in with, just as it finished.
Aww this is one of the best PTX interviews i've seen :) The interviewer was so enthusiastic and he was basically a fangirl as well haha
Oh at least he could contain himself. If I had to interview them I'd probably die... All over Scott and Avi.
am I the only one that thinks that Kirstie's nervousness is actually super cute? she wasn't ready ahah
[waiting for anyone binge watching ptx interviews]
YEEEEEAHHHH AVI WAS A TRUMPET!
I KNOW RIGHT THAT'S WHAT I SAID! 😄 TRUMPETS UNITE!
Yeah Trumpets are the best!
Now I'm just like, yay saxophone... 😅😂
Madd Hatter
Saxophones are the best woodwind!
I can't see Avi as a trumpet, idk trumpets tend to show off 😂😂 bass clarinets for the win
I want so much to know more details about that audition, that "day before" when they finally met, which one (Avi or Kevin) showed up first and whether they waited or immediately started rehearsing with whichever one was there...but this video helps fill in a few gaps! Now I now how Scott contacted Avi, and a little about how he approached him. I still wonder how he got in touch with some guy he saw on UA-cam, and what persuasion a teenager from Texas used to get a Yale graduate to fly out to California from Connecticut to audition with 4 people he's never met...so many questions! This video was great.
I know they paid for Kevin's flight to get to LA! Other than that, I have the same curiosity as you...
+janetranslates Ben Bram. He worked with Scott's college group. (this is on a video/interview somewhere... Maybe the documentary? I can't remember.) He saw the Telephone video of The Trio and approached Scott about the Sing Off and said they needed a bass and a beatboxer. Ben met Avi before (at a workshop I think) and recommended him. Avi had already seen The Trio on youtube and agreed. Scott found Kevin off youtube. Ben and Scott split the airfare to fly Kevin out. (Okay this is a direct quote from On My Way Home: Pentatonix Documentary) ad Scott claims it was the best investment he ever made. I think Avi was there first. Apparently the first impression The Trio had of Avi was that he was very professional. "He was ready early in morning, dressed and ready to work and we were so sloppy"... or something like that. (I think that was a HW interview). Ben Bram helps them arrange and produce their music to this day. He won the Grammy with them for Daft Punk Medley.
TheAmiraD Oh, I've been aware of Ben Bram for a long time, Amira! By sheer chance I stumbled onto his "Settle Down" on the Spaulding Sessions and went nuts! I wish there were more videos of him singing solo.
What I still don't know is how they actually communicated with Kevin--if there's a way to send a private message to a UA-cam poster I don't know about it. And I don't recall hearing the first-impression-of-Avi quote before, so thanks very much for that! We just never can get enough, can we?
I think you can actually leave a message on a person's youtube page if they haven't un-enabled it. I stumbled across all of these insanely talented people on youtube. And no, we just can't get enough. :P
Scott had arranged to meet up with Avi before the day Kevin arrived (idk how much before) - he said in one of their shows that Ben Bram arranged for them to met up at a coffee shop and he (Scott) knew Avi was the one when Avi introduced himself because of how low his voice was (lol). I guess the other two (Mitch and Kirstie) didn't meet Avi until the day before the audition (same as Kevin) which is when they said about him seeming really professional and stuff. Also, Kirstie and Scott said they were really nervous about Kevin arriving because Scott was living in a frat-style house at the time which was really messy and Kevin was from Yale. Apparently they made this video for him before he arrived showing him around the place and they just kept apologizing for how messy it was lol. Kevin said in one interview he thought that was really funny.
It makes me so happy that so many things are lining up with Avi. I sing Bass started singing after my voice changed, playing guitar, playing trumpet, growing a beard freshman year, growing out hair, love flannels and skinny jeans. Like thank you Avi for being so amazing.
Mitchie slaying
Loved the ending...these guys are so Tal-len-ted!!!
Mitch your so amazing
Aw, I really liked this interview! I'm really glad the interviewer went out of his way to really touch on each of the members. Excited to see what y'all got going on this year!
Mitch!!!!
Dude, stop calling them "The" Pentatonix.
A lot of announcer types add "The" to the front of their name. To their credit, the group has always refrained from being jerks about correcting them.
I thought of it as "The-one-and-only" even though that's still weird.
"the Pentatonix" WHYYYY it's just Pentatonix
+Annette S I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THS OMF
My friends call them The Pentatonix too and I wanted to cry
Annette S mmmmo
BEST PTX INTERVIEW EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
immediately after he said “the” i ran down to the comments section to see the salty fandom
Mitch's dominant mic OMG
This interviewer did a great job one of the best I have seen.
Woo opera major!!
nnazarowski Holy crap, yes!!! I wish to goodness that PTX would do some more 'classical' stuff. That snippet of Avi with the opera/lieder is the bomb.
Are you another opera major or just interested in the genre?
One of my favorite interviews..I like how he included everyone in the questions😀
This is a great interview!
I love ptx
I like how he fan girled on New Girl ;D

Kirsty is a beautiful girl. Can someone count how many times she says "like" in the interview? ;)
Just for future reference, her name's spelled Kirstie...short for Kirstin. :)
